 L., and George Hedrick and William | J. Tracy, president and secretary-treas-
 urer of the A. F of L., building trade. l department, Secretary of Labor Davis
 said My spirit is with you in the tri
 bute you are met to pay to the new
 leaders of trade unionism, the men who will lead the forward march of Ameri- can labor toward the betterment and happiness of the man who works.
 These men are old and experienced in the trade union movement" continued Secretary Davis "They have fought the battles of American labor in the ranks and in responsible executive positions Under their guidance we may look for true progress, for action in tune with modern conditions, for the preservation of all that American trade unionism has won during the wonderful 50 years of leadership of our late revered leader. of new victories in keeping with the ever forward moving ideals of our times. Men change, times change, me thods change. We must keep step with development which I knew when I en- tered the movement more than 30 years ago must give place to methods which fit conditions today. Then, unionism fought as the under dog. Today 1t stands upon more equal footing with the employers with whom it must deal.
 Under the leadership of the men you honor tonight, we may look for a stir ring revival of the age-old principles of trade unionism True service of these principles lies not in the hatreds born of controversy in the political arena. It lies largely in bringing about a closer understanding between the man who works for living and the men who manage the idustries which must supply the nation.
 ''It lies in the closest possible coop eration among trade unionists every where, and in the elimination of all conflict and friction throughout the broad field of trade unionism. These things we may expect from the leaders in whom the American unionist now re- poses his confidence
 "To these leaders and to every trade. unionist I pledge my heartiest support and cooperation in every movement that may be attempted for the advancement of the man and woman who works.

 Haiti is densely populated. Much oi the land IS mountainous or arid. Farm ing is primitive Marketing is badly or ganized. But the people own the land themselves and if trained in good me thods of farming and marketing and ii the arid plains were irrigated and owned then aby small farmers, Haiti could be- come prosperous, and the people retain ther economic and social independence
 "Haitians long had law against for eigners owning land. They had re- membered their former slavery Ameri- cans occupied Haiti in 1915 and changed this law. American-owned plantations were soon started but blights game in cotton and fruit, and the sugar was badly managed, and local judges, who were not controlled by the American marines, refused to recognize the new law of foreign ownership.
 'The blight in cotton is now being overnone, sugar is better managed, and the owners of the pineapple plantation are hopeful There is belief current, too, that the local judges will be cir cumvented. Still another law will be passed which will allow easy .foreclo- sure of farm mortgages when the pre- vailing high interest money is unpaid As a result, Haiti will go the road of the other countries. Since illiteracy is higher, the people simpler, the popula- ton denser, and good land scarcer, the result will be greater poverty and gros- ser wrongs than in the other coun- tries.'

 For reply the union goes on organ izing and gladly accepts the gauge of battle. They regard the editorial as ex- pressing the most reactionary point of view and as indicating what the union is up against in the effort to organize bank clerks 100 per cent strong in New York.

 The unionists also stated that they conferred with officers of the fleet cor poration on January 20 last and sug- gested that if the American merchant marine is to be Americanized the pres ent order should be repealed, the order of December II be reinstated and union seamen employed instead of communist and l. w.

 The trade unionists insist that it is useless to consider the Americanization of this country's merchant marine under conditions that are driving white men from these vessels.

 is not and should not be an imitatio of adult education as provided by many agencies. Labor Is striving towards something new. It aims at fundamental changes. It wants to see a better world and it realizes the influence that edu- cation exerts in this respect Therefore, it must of necessity give a new meaning to many social and economic standards.
 We invite every honest and earnest person to make his contribution, whe- ther as lecturer, instructor or in any other capacity, but he must come as an individual ready to serve the cause These persons will find the workers classes fertile field where they can plant intellectual and spiritual values that will some day bring good results.
 Those active in the workers educa- ton movement within the trade unions should resolve for the new year that the first essential for success in this movement is faith in 1t and an aim and a plan to achieve results, and not tenn porary setback or slow progress should deter the person from his objective.
 And last but not least they should remember that this movement will have to be financed and supervised by the trades unions. The labor movement pro- vided funds for its manifold activities, and it will have, unqualifedly, to in clude workers education amongst them.

RESTORE WAGE CUTS
 IN ANTI-UNION FIELD

Indianapolis, Feb. 14-Al1 of the coke companies in the Connellsville, (Penn.,) field that reduced wages last year have restrode these cuts, according to officials of the United Mine Workers.
 "This action knocks the foundation from under anti-union coal companies of West Virginia and other fields who demand wage reductions" says the Mine Workers Journal.
 The Connellsville field always was notoriously anti-union. Following the nationwide miners strike of 1922, unionism gained foothold in that sec ton, but the workers permitted them selves to fall into the non-union rut
 Except the H. C. Prick company, owned by the steel trust, the Connels- vile output competes with union coal and with the non-union coal of West Virginia and Kentucky. These anti union concerns have insisted that wages must be reduced to sell coal. They have secured the aid of other coal owners to attack the United Mine Workers.
 Nothing more is needed to show that the clamor for wage reductions is mere bunk" says the United Mine Workers Journal Those vociferous anti-union coal companies of West Virginia and kentucky must now find some other ex- cuse for their wage cutting, because the anti-union companies of the Connels- vile field have shot their argument full If holes n
