 BAND TO LEAD BIG FIGHT
 ON DESTRUCTIVE RAIDCALISM

 Garland w. Powell, chairman of the National Americanism Commission of the American Legion, and who acted for the American Legion in calling the conference, expressed himself after ad journment as delighted with the achievements of the meeting.

 We have brought into being a great and powerful non-politica1, non-sec- tarian, non-partisan organization for constructive Americanisn1," MT. Powell said. We shall add materially to the number of organizations now in the or ganization and before six months have passed we shall have brought together practically every American organiza- ton that stands for democracy and Americanism.
 "The propaganda of revolutionary and destructive radicalism is not abat- ing; on the contrary 1t is increasing. We have expressed our determination not to stand by idly while our Ameri can institutions are undermined We have entered the struggle on a war basis-that is, with a war determina tion, using the methods of Americans to protect those things which are above price to all Americans"

 LABOR IN NEW YORK CITY

Labor Temple is the title given it. self by New York's most radical church, owned and conducted by the New York Presbytery.

 In addition to spacious halls and offices for meetings and headquarters of labor organizations, this new temple will have an auditorium for public forum meetings, a gymnasium and class rooms. A roof garden play ground for children will be dis tinguishing feature.
 Tt is to the honor of the Presby- terian church." said Dr. Chaffee, that it is big and broad enough to start and carry on this work"

 The conference was addressed Satur- day afternoon by Prof. Yandell Hen derson of Yale, who urged vertical ex- haust pipes which would discharge mo tor fumes above the tops of vehicles as a means of solving the carbon mon oxide gas problem, to which the recent calamity in the Pittsburgh tuQnel has called attention. Carbon monoxide, If properly diluted with air, need not be dangerous, but If some conditions ex- ist can be one of the most terrible poisons, Professor Henderson declared. Methods for combating lead poisoning were outlined by Prof. Emery R. Hay hurst of Ohio State University and Dr. Joseph Resnikof of Harvard.
 Control of health conditions in in dustry by cooperative labor health agencies was urged by Dr. James P. Warbasse, president of the Co-opera- tive League of America, at a dinner given to the delegates following Satur- days session of the conference.
 Control of health conditions by workers is only one step in the con trol of living conditions by workers,' pr. Werbasse declared. My expert ence with workers cooperative health organizations in Italy, Holland, Spain, and Belgium has convinced me that 'di- rect action by the workers on the field of health IS far more affective than anything legislatures can do for them. The death rate in Milan, for instance, is 21 per 1000; while the death rate among the members of the workers health cooperative is only per 1000"
 Materials used in the hat trade were described as "unberab1e to work witt" by delegates from the Danbury Hat ters Union, who declared that as high as 40 per cent. of the workers in the trad care victims of mercury poison

WADSWORTH BLOCKS
 CHILDLABOR FRIENDS
Prevents Consideration of Amend
 ment in the Senate.

New York, May 31.-Senator Wads worth of this state blocked considera- tion of the federal child labor amend ment in the senate, and correspon- dent in the World writes:
 Senator Wadsworth's ignorance of the fundamental problem of the child labor amendment is refreshing. Here are some extracts from the letter he has been sending to all those who have asked him to state his position on this. matter: I do not like the chi1d-labor amendment; first, because I think 1t unnecessary in view of the fact that all but four or five states of the Union already have child labor laws as strict or stricter than the one proposed in the amendment . This is so obviously untrue as to require no comment. All Senator Wadsworth needs to do to prove the fallibility of this statement is to study even ever SO casually-the made quate child labor standards of most of our states.
 His last sentence Is nasterful: "A little more education and little more appeal to reason will very soon stamp out all child labor in the United States
 True, hopeful, obvious. But how I am dense enough to wonder, can edu- cation succeed in stamping out child labor so long as children are not pro- tected from the labor which will keep them from getting said education?"

Children in
 Federal Courts

All but two states have laws provid- ing for juvenile courts for boys and girls. All but one state have proba- ton systems through which the de- linquent child may be given a chance to make good under trained supervis- ion. But our Federal law, makes no distinction between adults and chil- dren. The youngster who defaces a mail-box, steals ride On a train across State lines, or in some way breaks the Federal laws must, accord ing to the law, be dealt with on the same basis as an adult offender. A bill which would establish probation system in United States courts has been favorably reported in the House of Representatives.
