have an A. F. Of l.. committee on
education and our Workers Educa-
ton Bureau for the latter. Hundreds
of committees on education, appointed
by local central labor unions, CO.
operate with these two national
agencies to carry into effect the fed

"The tendency in trade unions Is
away from force and toward the con-
ference room. Unions are assuming
the attitude that their problems are to
be studied and facts and information
brought to bear upon them until solu-
tions develop. We prefer to deal
with our problems intelligently and
resort to force only when no other
recourse remains.
"In politics we are taking the re-
sponsibility Of citizenship seriously.
we believe that politics is a method
by which we handle certain of our
common interests and that the ballot
affords each voter an opportunity to
participate in determination Of poll
tical policies.
Information for Voters.
1--WE hold, therefore, that use of
the ballot should be based upon in
formation and as an organization we
supply our membership with informa-
ton necessary for intelligent action
upon matters in which their interests
as wage earners are concerned.
"The union is concerned with wider
issues than the strictly economic and
exerts important influences extending
into many other fields
"In that unions have promoted in
dustrial justice, higher standards of
living for millions of our population,
wider educational opportunities for
the masses of our citiZenry, better
homes, more stable and more efficient
management methods, they are an i'm.
portant force in determining the di-
rection and the degree of national
progress.
1.-THE United States is fortunate in

principles of our American trade
union movement. We are ready to
cooperate in constructive under.

A Hard Coal Mine Explosion.

A fatal mine explosion is reported

would have lost their lives, as six
who were saved were just about to

An explosion in an anthracite mine

These are usually what are known as

gas. The explosive emanations are
much more common in the btumi-

the heaviest loss of life occurs.
These mine explosions are usually
attributable to acts of CarelessneSs.

The Rising Tide of American Life

President Coolidge's proclamation
day of general Thanksgiving and
prayer is an epitome of the condition.
of the country:
As a nation and as individuals we
have passed another twelve months
In the favor Of the Almighty. He
has smiled upon our fields and they
have brought forth plentifully; busi-
ness has proSpered. industries have
fourished and labor has been we'll
employed. While sections of our coun-
try have been visited by disaster we
have been spared any great national
calamity or pestiential visitation. We
are blessed among the nations of the
earth.
In this brief compass is told the
story of American material life dur
Ing the past year. There is abun-
dance of all that is necessary to sup
ply the needs of existence. There is
prosperity in trade All who have
wished to work have found employ
ment. No large section of our people
has suffered save from the passing
visitations of the elements.
With all this material prosperity
there is without doubt an advance in
the intellectual life. Education is uni
verSal Schools are open to all. Great
institutions of learning are filled to ca
pacity and new ones are being found
ed while old ones are being enlarged
Opportunity for advancement lies be-
fore every citizen.
The standard of life in this country
is UNNECESSARILY higher than in pra :
tically any other land in the world
Failure to profit by the advantages Of
fered so freely is the fault of he in
dividual. The prevalence of crime,
civilization, is a passing phase. 1t is
being resisted by the clements of
order and law, by the citizens in or
ganization in an educational campaign.
Faults OF the judicial system are in
process of correction.
A low state of political morals has
been disclosed in certain places in this
country within recent months, but the
public reaction to that disclosure has
been wholesome. The faults of the
political system have been exposed in
a manner to stimulate the country to
efforts to effect a cure.
America is not decadent. 1t is pro-
gressive. 1t is a living organism,
growing wholesomely. 1t is justifying
the faith of the founders. creators of
q new state out of a system of de-
pendent colonies. Observance of
Thanksgiving day by the people an
nually is token of the spiritual in,
tiuence which is. after all, the chief
factor in the national life.
