After saying that at is evident
that you have a situation in Chicago
very similar to one we had in New
York almost ten years ago, when the
late Mayor Mitchell attempted to
Carlyle our school SYSTEM" Mr..
Brady then says in his letter to Mr..
Olander:
"Our unions took such a vigorous
interest in the school situation that
the mayoralty election of 1916 was
decided entirely upon school issues
and we succeeded in driving out all
of the pernicious influences of the
Rockefeller Foundation and others
which were then in control of our
school system"
Continuous Education of People
Is Urged
Mr.. Brady inclosed a copy of the
New York State Federation of Labor
educational program and gave valu-
able advice to Chicago labor. He
further said:
Please note in our State Fedora
tion Of Labor program that we are
endeavoring to destroy entirely the
line of demarcation between gradua-
tion from the elementary school to
the high school. 1t is a great mis-
take in education that there is this
division, and the best advantages will
accrue to the education of all the
people if the school program is ap-
preached from the viewpoint that
education is continuous and there is
no halfway stopping place such as
the elementary school and junior high
schools. 1t is the ultimate aim of our
unions to have compulsory education
provided for all the children up until
they graduate from high school"

OVERRATED BUYING
POWER OF FARMERS

Washington.-The department of
agriculture states that the estimate
of a billion-dollar increase to farm
ers, because of advanced prices, is
exaggerated.
1T is possible that American wheat
growers will get from $100,000,00O
to $200,000,000 more for their wheat
this year than last, assuming that
they sell over 5O0,O00,000 bushels"
the department states.
"This is considerably less than ST.
000,000,000 increase estimated in
some quarters, but bespeaks an in
creased ability to pay off debts and
a general improvement in financial
conditions in the wheat country"
The department states that the
corn situation is by no means good"
This will affect live stock prices.
New York.-Wall street has revis-
ed its estimate of S1,000,00 900 pro-
fit for farmers, since the department
of agriculture states that the figure
will range between $100,000,000 and
$500, 100000
