Electric Power Age
Brings New Methods

Washington, June 9.-'The age of
giant power is here" says the Journal
of Electrical Workers and Operators.
This union publication urges workers
to awake to the change to electric
activities of one city that saved its
water power from private Interests:
Formed a large and representa-
tive citizens committee to take care
of the public's interests.
Secured cooperation of labor rep
resentatives in the city council, of the
city attorney and of the city engineer
in a fight for power rights.
"Sent a deputation to Washington
to appear before the federal power
commission asking for recognition of
municipal rights in awarding power
licenses.
with the aid of city engineer and
power engineer, prepared plan foi
municipal power plants.
Prepared an amendmen1 to the city
charter for submission to voters per
hitting the city to go into hydro
electric business (often this step Us
not necessary"
The labor publication disagrees with
a wen-known economist who has said
that giant power will harm, rather
than benefit, labor unions. In oppos--
ing this viewpoint, the Electrical
Workers Journal says:
1--WE believe that mechanization has
not and can not go so far in the cleo
trical world as it has in the steam;
that conditions are not analogous as
between the new revolution and the
old, inasmuch as unions are now on
the ground with experience, philoso-
ply and practical methods; that the
general public, in its rebellion against
private monopoly, tyranny and high
costs of private waste, will have TO
cooperate with and strengthen labor
unions"

Dimly Lighted School

Nations Eye Detectives

Bv International Labor News Service
New York City, June 9.-Dlmiy
lighted -caooIhouses hinder child prog
1ess ami swell the ranks of the ma
tons exc detectives, it is asserted oy
he Eyesight Conservation Council OF
America. Il
Poor Illumination is general In the
school buildings of this country, ac-
e0nliae TO the council, disclosing
faults common both in the large cen,
tefs Of population and in the rural
regions Surprising defects, II was
said were revealed in the cities.
1t Is conceded" says a statement
by Guy A. Henry of New York, gen.
eral director of the council, "that un-
favorable school lighting is contrio-
utory source of defective vision
While the measure of damage thus IN
tieted can not be determined with ac.
curacy, still it is possible to say that
in itself it is sufficiently large to war
rant remedial action"
Another reason for what is said 10
be an increasing demand for better
lighting is the wider use OF schooi
buildings for night classes and publle;
meetings. Both in the large cities and
in the small towns the schoolhouse is
developing as a center of community
life. :.
The lighting of school buildings, II
was said, is far below the standard
prevailing in commercial and indus
trial Establishments. In Cleveland
Ohio, the school board made survey
of l25 school buildings and found tna'
"A buildings were inadequately ligh'-
ed.
Correct school lighting is said to
be accomplished by controlling day,
light, by proper artificial light, ano
By avoidance of glaring reflection
Diffusion of light is called the most
difficult problem confronting lighting
experts. Design and location OF build
ings are regarded as vital factors.

Columbus, Ohio, June 9.--ln an
address before the general assembly
of the Presbyterian church, VIM.
Green, president of the A. /. Of l.,
compared the economic foundation OF
trade unionism with the artificial

tions, owned by stockholders, who do
not know the employees nor even the
location of the plant.
The operation of memorable eeono-
mic laws, which irresistibly drove in
dustry into organization, made the or
ganization of trade unions necessary,
said President Green.
ut was illogical for industry and
capital to organizes and labor-the
great producing factor in industry
to remain unorganized. II was out
of this situation that the present-day
labor organization grew. Ii evolved
out of the needs of the workers, thai
they might cope with combinations oil

"Obviously, labor organizations car

they are independent, and unless theA

the workers themselves. 1t is thu

LEASING OF ALASKA
PUBLIC LAND ASKED
Governor Suggests Use of Area for
Fox Farming and Reindeer
Grazing.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Amendments to the Federal land
laws for the Territory of Alaska to
permit leasing of public lands for fox
farms and reindeer grazing were rec
commended to the Secretary of Interior
today in the annual report of George
A. Parks, governor of Alaska
With fox farming already ranking
as one of the territory's chief indus
tries, the report declared it was neces-
Sary that the Government permit the
use of public lands for this purpose in
order to encourage the Territory's de-
velopment. Leasing of lands for rein
deer grazing, it was added, would do
much to protect the reindeer in their
ranges.
"A per cent increase in the value
OF the Territory's fisheries, despite the
Governments curtailment of the fish
ing season, was noted in the report.
y gradual resumption of mining, both
placer and lode. was apparent in all
the districts, and gold production dur
ing the year exceeded that for the
previous Il months.
The Territory looked with interest
on the possibility of shipping reindeer
to other countries as meat by use of
modern refrigerating facilities, the re-
port said, adding that barren portions
of the country were adequate as graz
ing grounds for 100000 reindeer.
The need for medical and hospital
facilities in the Yukon district was
emphasized.
Creation of constabulary or terri
torial police responsible for law en-
forcement in the Territory to replace
the eight organizations now in ex-
lStence also was urged.
