general are soreiy in need of scien-
tific overhauling. Even when new
buildings are constructed little effort
is made to utilize the most modern
methods of construction, nor are the
best facilities acquired.
An illustration of this was cited
some time ago by the teachers or
ganizatio- when a vigorous campaign
Of critici'a finally succeeded in pre-
venting the construction of a school
building with an actual" seating ca
pacity of 1000, and a potential
seating capacity of 10000. Instead,
the school was built along the lines

Advocates of union organization
among the teachers here are pointing
to the example set by the teachers of
Chicago who have succeeded in build
ing up powerful organization and
thus exert a tremendous influence on
the entire educational program.

Report Compromise Over
Muscle Shoals; Federal
Operation for Five Years

WASHINGTON, Sept. IA. - A
plan for federal operation Of the
$10O,00O,OO0 Muscle Shoals project
over a limited period of years. was
under consideration, today by ad-
ministration leaders.
The project would be operated
by the government primarily for
the manufacture of nitrates and
fertilizers under this compromise
plan with provisions for the sale
of all surplus power to private COM
panies on fixed terms.
This disposition of the great
water-power site indicates par
tial surrender by the insurgent
bloc of congress, which has fought
for eight years to prevent private
operation Of the project. The bloc,
under the leadership of Senator
George W. Norris (R) Of Neb.,
was reported to be seeking support
for ten-year government-opera-
ton program, but there were indi-
cations the compromise, if adopted,
would limit government operation
to from three to five years, and
remove Muscle Shoals as a cam
paign issue.

Tunney Has Alibi Ready
in Case of Losing

CHICAGO, Sept. 14.-The bunch
players are making sudden shift
toward Jack Dempsey and today were
backing the veteran to regain his
title. The action is due to the view
they have taken of the pre-fight pro-
ceedings which shows the history of
1926 being exactly reversed.
Prior to the 1926 affair Tunney's
life was tranquil and peaceful, even
as a marine he never did any fight
ing.
Dempsey's was hectic and agitated
by an almost endless procession of
law suits and a parade of process
servers to his doors. Dempsey this
year is free from legal snarls. Tun-
ney is all tangled up in them. A So
cial secretary has filed a suit against
him; action has been started by Tim
Mara and also Max Hoff.

Agitation for the construction OF
elevators in 600 school buildings in
New York City will begin soon. With
the opening of the schools this week
and the announcement of a probable
registration of over 100000 pupils
teachers and parents organizations
will resume their campaign to allie
viate this danger to the health of the
children.
Some of the buildings that are not
equipped with elevators are a block
long and from five to six stories in
height, according to statements con-
tanned in the "Union Teacher" the
official publication of the New York
Teachers Union, of which DR.. Henry
r. Linville is president.
Serious Problem.
The absence of elevators in the
school buildings, it is pointed out, is
only one of the archaic features OF
numerous buildings thruout the city
but presents an active problem tC

With nearly 100000 on a part-time
basis and many of the high and ele-
mentary schools conducting their SEES

authorities this year plan to curtai
the actual time of the class periods
In many cases as little as two min.

Danger To Health.
The strain involved in this proce.
dure is pointed out as a constant
source of danger to the health of ths
school children, especially in view Of
the large number Of cases of tenn.
porary illness, aenemia, and especial
ly malnutrition. 1t is estimated thai
over fifty per cent of the entil5
school population of the city suffer
from malnutrition.
The latter problem, various teach
ers assert, could be slightly remedieC
by the distribution of free lunches il
the various schools of the city.
Buildings Unfit.
During the past few years some
effort has been made to remove some
of the more Anticipated features Of
the school buildings, but many struc
lures are still considered highly un
fit for the purposes for which they
are used
Many of the buildings, it is pointed

That from 100000 to 100000

senactment of law by congress to
"legalize the presence here Of such
responsible persons who entered the
country prior to adoption of the quota

dueed to speak.
"The last time l spoke here" as
serted Hyman, "your manager told
me that Sigman said that he only
came to Chicago for an investigation.
But latter events proved otherwise.
After Money.
CAS- soon as Sigman heard that the
Chicago Joint Beard had $4,000 in
its treasury he started to sing a diff
ferent tune. He made up his mind
that he was going to get that money
in order to wreck the union.
"Some workers have asked me about
the next convention Of the Interna-
tional. In my opinion it will be the
end of Sigmanism. AS to the injunc-
tions obtained by the right wing, do
not pay any attention to, them, but
keep up the fight as the overwhelming
majority of the cloak and dressmakers
are supporting you"
