Rents Not Lowered

|> New York, Oct. 4.-The claim that rents are being lowered throughout the country is labeled "a deluge of nlisin- formation" by w. J. Moore, president of the American bond and mortgage company. In a few of the large cities rents have been slightly reduced in over built sections, but this is not general, Mir Moore said.
 There is still shortage in those cl- ties and only the most insignificant re- auctions in other large cities.
 "As recently as last October the pres ident of the federation of tenants or ganization of Greater New York, an or ganization obviously inclined to see a housing adequacy at thee earliest mo- ment, admitted that New York is short 165,OOO apartments and homes, and des- bite doubling up, 3000O people will have to leave town or camp out if housing laws are strictly enforced"

hail the act as a godsend. Many farmers will hail the amendment for what It Is, legally forced cooperation serving the double purpose of protecting children and parents who have real American ideals and of protecting all farmers from excessive competition due to oyer production as measured by market de- mands"
 The attention of the Commissioner of Education, John J. Tigert, was evidently directed to the item, and as result the following apology appears in Rural Schools Newsletter No. 21, dated October, 1924:
 There appeared in our Rural Schools Newsletter No. 1o for August, 1924, an item entitled The Farmers Interest in the Child Labor Amendment
 Tt is not the policy of the Bureau Of Education or the Department of the Interior to favor or oppose or to at tempt to influence, directly or indirectly, legislation. particularly legislation pending in the state legislatures. Where legislation has been finally enacted, it might appear not inconsistent with this policy that some opinion might be ex- pressed The writer of this paragraph, forgetting that the submission of this amendment to the Federal Constitution by Congress to the states was Tn no sense final but only the beginning of a consideration of this legislation, wrote this item. It appeared in the absence Of the commissioner, who was in the Seat tie office of the Bureau of Education, looking after some Alaskan affairs
 Tt IS not the intention of the Bureau of Education to express any opinion with reference to the Child Labor Amendment, nor to undertake to inf1u- ence action upon this amendment in the states. This would be an unwarranted interference on the part of a portion of the Executive branch of, the federal government with the freedom of 1egis- lation in the states"

AUTOMATIC COUPLINGS AND
 SAFETY

In accordance with a resolution adopted by the Fifth Session of the International Labor Conference held at Geneva in October 1923, the Interna- tional Labor Office has just undertaken a preliminary study of the question: of automatic couplings on railways, par ticularly from the point of view ca the safety of railway workers.
 The main purpose of the study were to ascertain if there has been any de crease of accidents due to coupling and 11ncouplng in countries where automatic coupling has been introduced, and to de fine the extent of the risk of accident in countries which have not yet adopted this system.
 The result of the study has just been published as a statistical report based on information covering fifteen coun- tries and covering generally a>period of ten years.
 The first chapter deals with the me thOdS O1 eSIaDnSn11lS SldlS1CS,- ulS C1I- teria of comparison, the percentage of coupling and uncoupling accidents, etc. Tn the following chapters, as examina- ton is made of the statistics relating to countries where rolling stock IS pro- vided with automatic couplings-the United States and Canada-and also the figures relating to countries which have not a system of automatic coupling; ; namely, the European countries and In dia
 The last part of the report indicates the differences, from the standpoint of occupational risk, between railwaymen employed in coupling and workers en- gagged on other work on the railways, or in other forms of industry.
 The conclusion of the report is that the actual effects of automatic coupling, when introduced, have been most bene- hcial to railwaymen.

|U. s. BUREAU OF EDUCATION APOLOGIES FOR URGING
 END TO CHILD SLAVERY

By International Labor News Service.
 Washington, D. C, Oct. 18,-The United States Bureau of Education doesn't always think it polite 10 tell all the truth
 Recently, the Bureau, m one of its publications, blurted out that the farmer Is vitally interested in the passage of the child labor amendment. This was stressed as a reason why the amend ment should be approved by the States
 A few days later the Bureau tn ought better of its opinion and 1t staged a Strategic retreat'' that would be funny If 1t were not such glaring indictment of the courage of its heads. Of course what the Bureau had said Tn the first place was true but that didn't prevent 1t from making rapid crawl to the rear. The Bureau-but let its own statements tell the story.
 The first statement appeared Tn Rural Schools Newsletter No. 1o, dated '"The Farmers Interest in the Child La bor Amendment" the Bureau said
 Many American farmers will be glad to see the states ratify the child labor amendment because they see in the amendment a means of escape from the ruinous competition engendered by ex- cessive production of many farm com modities. Many farmer who prefer otherwise have been forced to keep their children out Of school and use them as source of labor because so many other farmers with un-American standards of living through exploiting their children have forced down prices to the point where no profit Is obtaina- ble except through a source of cheap labor The farmer knows from bitter experience that the food market is a highly sensitive market. Give a man all he wants to eat and he will pay nothing for a surplus. Put him on short rations and he will pay any price for enough He has seen this principle verified time and again. The short crop has almost invariably brought the big gest money return the excessively large crop the smallest return When govern ment arbitrarily removes a big surplus labor element those who have real American ideals for their children will

UNION FOR NEGRO WOMEN WORKERS
 GAINING GROUND

Ii IS estimated there are 3,OOO,O0O | Negro women engaged in domestic and i personal service occupation Tn the Uni 1 ted States With a view to organizing them into a labor group the National Association of Wage Farmers, Inc, has been formed, with headquarters in the District of Columbia
 Miss Mamie H. Burroughs, Presi- dent of the National Training School for Colored Women and Girls, and one of the outstanding female mem bers of her race, IS at the head of the association, characterized as "a labor organization with constructive program" Race leaders have been talking for years about having a national clearing house at Washington, which is now a reality" Miss Burroughs says. 7 It took Negro women to do 1t. Through this movement they will become tower of strength in the labor world. Women everywhere are enthusiastic over the undertaking, and we believe they are going to give the world fine example of the kind of team work women, the country over can do.
 Negro women wage earners are the only large unprotected labor group IT | America Unorganized labor will be exploited and mistreated An organiz- ed labor group gets faiTer wages, better 1 living conditions, greater respect and economic justice. Then, too, labor or ganization, that functions properly, de velops in the workers greater skill and general efficiency, pride of occupation and improvement Tn general conduct l The latter improvements are as lmpor- tant as the former considerations.
 Our women have had no standing with the American Federation of Labor or the National Won1an's Trade Union League. Nothing has been done tc 1 improve the condition of the, Negro workingwornan. We must therefore paddle our own canoe. A few colored women some months ago discussed the situation seriously and decided not to stop until we shall have organized all Negro worl<ingwonen into a labor union The National Association of Wage. Farmers, Inc, IS the outcome of :, this conference.
 We have purchased headquarters at the Nations capital This IS real triumph The money collected from memberships will be used to pay for the property Every woman who IS a wage earner is eligible to membership. l This Is an organization for every worker, skilled or unskilled, This IS an organization for every woman, high or low, servant or secretary, college 1 president or field hand. Working to- gether we can advance to a place of influence and respect in the labor world"
 Identified with Miss Burroughs in the movement are Mrs. Maggie L ! Walker, President Of St. LuBe's Sav- irgs Bank, Richmond, Va; Mrs. May l Mcleod Bethine, President of the Daytona Normal and Industrial schOo
