Education Makes Thinking
Possible; Trained Mind
Is Equipped To Think

New York, Jan. 23.--The value o
any education lies in its power 10 de
velop thinking, said VIM. Green, pres
before the National Republican clul
The speaker said his experience has
led him TO the conclusion that the
value of education lies in its power tC
make people think right and hon
estly."
"A mind which has been trained ano
cultivated, through educational pro
cesses, is better equipped TO think pro-
foundly and search for TRUTH" he
said. Academic, technical or practi-
cal education is of little value unless
it develops the latent power of thought
and reason"
President Green said there is no
group that stresses the Importance OF
education more than the waoe-earnlng
group. He quoted this declaration by
the first convention of the A. +. of
L., in 1881;
I'VE are in favor of the passage OF
such legislative enactment as will en-
force, by compulsion, the education of
children; that If the state has the
flInL 10 exact certain GOlipiidbSt Win
its demands, then it is also the right
of the state to educate its people to
the proper understanding of such de
mands."
The trade unionist referred to the
adult workers education movement
that is sponsored and developed by the
A. f. of L.
This education the A. +. of l..
committee on education reported last
year, sis the witness that the world of
culture and the world Of labor that
seemed to be drawing apart in our
rapidly developing industrialism has,
in fact, found basis of accord.
Because of their reciprocal needs,
thy should be joined in a common
bond, for no culture which is achieved
without some form of creative labor
is worthy of the name of culture
And no labor which is uniformed on
cultural standards as service or use
or beauty dignifies sustained human
activity. In this linking anew of la
Dor and learning, labor has disclosed a
vast new opportunity for creative
participation not only in the product
but in the process of education"

IGLESIAS FINDS NO ''SCARE"
In The MEXICAN CASE
the scAB

The writer has given a let of
thought as to just the definition OF
the word seab really meant among the
labor organizations in the various
cities.
The seab is often defined as some
one that has no principle and willing
to take another mans job that Is oui
on strike in order TO make his work
ing conditions better and receive a
decent living wage, and when another
man comes along ana takes the union
mans job that i out on strike he ls
classed as seab.
But the writer has often wondered
how many union men were scabbing
on themselves when making purchases
and buying unfair merchandise anu
merchandise that does not bear the
union label, and spending his good
union money that he fought to make,
for seab made merchandise and With
firms that are not with organized la
Dor and don't care for organized
labor. When the union man draws his
union wages from boss that is fair
and takes his union wages and spends
il for bakery goods, tobacco and
cigars and other merchandise that Is
not made in union shops and does not
bear the union label, lie IL scabbing
on his brother union man that is also
striving for good conditions, and
worst of all he is scabbing on himself
and denying his brother union man
the same chance TO have good condi-
tons that he wants for himself.
The writer was in grocery store
some time ago talking TO the proprie-
tor that was handling bakery goods,
this store had union made bread and
non-union made bread in it, and man
came in this store and bought loaf
of non-union made bread, and the boss
of this store said, see that man that
got that bread, and | said yes, and this
store boss said well that is a union
man but he isn't living up to the prin-
ciple of his organization and what he
breaches.
| hope that union man that reads
this will profit bv it as it makes bad
impression for the labor organizations
and the union men when our own
members don't live up to the principle
of what they preach.

German Worker Admires
Spirit of Solidarity

Cincinnati, Jan. 28.-The spirit OF
solidarity among brewery workers in
America is admired by h. Backert,
representative of the German Brew
cry Workers union, who made a re-
cent tour of the United States with a
delegation Of German trade unionists,
Writing in the Brewery Workers
Journal, published in this city, Mr.
Backert, who has returned home, says
"our German colleagues can learn
something from this spirit Of sOli-
darity."
what | have seen in America along
the lines of industrial development
and activities in general surpasses all
that has been imagined in Europe
said Mr.. Backert. Living conditions
Of the American workers, including
those Of the members of our organiza-
ton. are decidedly better than those
of the German workers in general"

That is the message brought back
from Mexico by Santiago lgieslas
Spanish language secretary OF the
pan-American Federation of Labor
who has just returned from a trip to
Mexico City, Orizaba, Pueblo, and
other cities in Mexico.
Not only that" he continued, ''but
can safely predict that the Pan-Am-
erican Federation of Labor is due for
a great increase in strength and IN
fmence in the immediate future"
Sees Morones and Gales.
While in Mexico Secretary lgleslas
had dozens of conferences with Off
GERS of the Mexican trade union move
ment, with its leader, Louis N. Moro
nes. who is minister of industry, COM
merce and labor and confidante of
President Gales. He had three ex-
tended conferences with President
Gales and terms him "a man imbued
with the principles of freedom, DEM
ocracy and justice, truly great man
whose energy seems limitless and
whose tact and administrative abill-
ty are marvellous"
Il not only had unlimited oppor-
tunity to meet and confer with the
leaders of labor in Mexico Mr.. lg-
lesias said, "but | was in contact with
the rank and file, seeing them IN
their homes as we'll as in their places
femployment. | came to know more
than ever that those who believe Mex
leo is at the beginning of great era

Studies Land and Oil Laws.
Secretary Iglesias made a special
study of the land and petroleum laws
now the subject of correspondence be-
tween the United States Government
and the Mexican government. He
brought back with him copies of these
laws in the original and in transla-
tons. 81 can not go into my findings
in regard to this situation until | have
reported to President Green," said
Secretary Iglesias. 81 shall report to
him in great detail Immediately"
The impression is clear, however,
though Secretary Iglesias is reserv,,
ing his comment on the international
situation pending his formal report,
that he does not believe there is any
occasion for uneasiness or for any al
legations that Mexico is in any way
evading her obligations. 1t is be
lieved that he will report that he
could find no evidence of any intent
to evade obligations in the land and
mineral laws and that the retroactive
feature which the United States allie
ges is the ground for complaint does
not exist in fact.

Business Agents Go to
School to Study Emo
tiOns of Workers

New York, Jan. 26.-Among the
courses given at the Workers Uni
versity this year is a class in social
psychology for business agents. The
old concept of walking delegate has
long been dead. Now he is becoming
student of human nature as well as
a practical adept in the art of getting
along with crowds Of fellow workers.
The course is to show why the un-
ion man or woman responds to certain
emotions and how best to keep up the
morale of the organization. This is
an evidence of the growth of the labor
movement beyond the questions of
hours and wages into the realm of
social conduct and responsibility to
the union members as well as to in
dustry.
