LEGISLATIVE NIX NVP
FACED BY CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 13.--
Il seems but yesterday that every
one IN the nations capital agreed
congress would adjourn at an early
date to permit members to prepare
for the forthcoming primaries and
elections.
These hopes are falling. The in
sistent demand from the agricultural
sections for farm relief has develop
ed an unexpected situation and 10 one
win predict the date Of ADJOURNMENT.
There are three farm proposals
before congress and each one is urged
by strong partisans. The Haugen
bill provides for a revolving fund Of
$375 100000 to aid in marketing sur
plus crops. Last year, before q meet
ing Of the American Farm Bureau
Federation, in Chicago. TIE president
declared against legislalion Of this
character. -
The Tincher bill, favored by the adj
nninistration, would loan government
money to farm co-operatives to mar
ket surplus crops. Haugen bill advo-
Gates point out that this would only
apply t omembers Of the co-operaive
societies.. A bird bill, Introduced by
Congressman Aswell, Of Louisiana,
would establish national farm mar
ketine association. A fourth group
opposes any farm Legislation. This
element. is especially hostile to the
Haugen bin, which is denounced as q
Subsidy.
The legislative jam is intensified by
advocates Of other legislation who de-
mand action.
Several recognized administration
senators have joined the farm bloc to
secure farm legislation These in
clude avowed standpatters who a few
months ago would denounce these
farn-relief proposals as Wild revolIs-
tion.

HIGH POINTS OF STRIKE

Threatened by a general strike
last year to aid British coal min
ers, the Baldwin government voted
a subsidy Of $1O0,000,000 to the
coal owners to maintain existing
wage scales. A Royal Coal Com
mission was appointed to investi-
gate the coal industry.
No action was taken on the COM
missions report, many features of
which were Objectionable to the
miners.
The wage agreement and the
subsidy expired May 1. The coal
owners demanded district agree
ments because Of varying condi-
tions, The miners replied that this
twill pit one district against an
other" They refused to lower
wages or increase hours.
The government considers the
general strike q challenge and is
putting into effect all Of the pow
ers Of dictatorship granted under
the kings proclamation Of a state
Of emergency.

Local 917 Of Aberdeen confirmed the
action Of the State Council Of Carpen-
ters, and designated May as the date
the increase should become effective.
Local contractors were notified of
this action on February IA.
Between February IA and April %,
on several occasions, individual con-
tractors expressed their willingness
TO grant the increase and carpenters
practically dismissed the matter from
their minds, confident that the in
crease would be granted. However,
few. days before the new wage scale
was to have gone into effect, the con-
tractors complained that the date set
for an increase would be an inoppor-
tune time.
Notwithstanding the fact that $500
per day is the prevailing scale in the
Pacific Northwest, with the excep-
tion Of two or three small cities, local
contractors refused to grant an in
crease to the carpenters, saying that

HIGHER LEARNING
FOR ALL WORKERS
, By KATE RICHARDS o'HARE
Field Secretary of Commonwealth
College, Mena. Ark.

~--~8@t ~-A~A1-s - A.
In the battle which ragged between
the rising industrialists and the de-
caying aristocracy, between eeclesias-
ticism and secularism, new type Of
Institution Of higher learning was
born. The very name college had
come to stand for social snobbery,
intellectual repression, and religious
intolerance; so the more modest Of
the two new types Of school was called
an academy and the more pretentious
a university. though strictly speaking
they were not universities in the ac-
opted sense of the word.
Most Of the new academies and un-
iversities were founded by the rapidly
ascending industrial class as protest
against the social exclusiveness, mar
row culture and repression Of the ply
sical sciences IN the older colleges.
And they grew like mushrooms. The
United States was a rich Nation
where boundless natural resources,
slipshod and corrupt government,
marvellous machinery, and unlimited

GREEN COMMENTS
ON BRITISH STRIKE

WASHINGTON, D. c., May a.
The general strike Of Great Britain
has created most grave situation
and one which causes feeling of deep
concern in the minds of all thinking
people, said President Green.
"This is the first time a general
strike has been resorted to in Great
Britain. The working people in the
United States viii observe with keen
interest this experimentation in the
use of the sympathetic strike as .
means of bringing about the settle
ment of wage controversy in a
single industry.
"The great danger involved in a
general or sympathetic strike is the
possibility that the original grievances
which are the primary cause of the
strike mad which are, in this case,
meritorious, may be lost sight of be-
cause Of the charge that the general
strike Is q challenge to government
and the issues Of the strike obscured
and the the public mind becomes com
fused Public opiniens q Great Brit
ain, might support the workers in
their demand for the redress of just
grievances whereas it would solidly
support the government in its efforts
to maintain control of the govern
ment.
The American Federation Of Labor
/. is strongly committed to the policy Of
collective bargaining, of wage con-
tracts and the observance of agree
ments. II will not depart from this
well-known and established policy. 1t
has made its greatest progress by q
religious observance of contract obli-
cations. In my opinion the organiza-
tions affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor will strictly adj
here to such a program.
However, we realize that economic
and industrial conditions in Great Bri-
tain differ from the economic and
industrial conditions prevailing in this
country. In addition, under the form
of organization prevailing across the
sea, the organizations of the workers
/ in each country may determine their
own policies. The organizations of
Continental Europe and Great Bri-
tain are affiliated with the Interna-
tional Federation of Trade Unions,
with headquarters at Amsterdam, Hol-
land. The American Federation of
Labor is not affiliated with this In
ternational Federation Of Trade I'm
ions.
'The American Federation of La
Dor believes the miners Of Great Bri-
tain are justified in their demands
that they be paid q decent living wage.
We believe their grievances are we'll
founded and should be speedily re-
dressed. We express the hope that
those qualities Of deliberation and
Judgment which have always char
acterized the British people in every
crisis win so assert themselves as to
bring about an immediate settlement
Of the causes Of the strike and to
avert the dire consequences with
the people of the nations are threat
ened."
