WHAT IS WORKERS
EDUCATION?
By ARTHUR GLEASON
LESSON xiv

The way group of grown persons
best educate each other is in the meth
cd used by Socrates and his friends.
1t is the way of endless discussion
centering on one subject 1t is almost
the hardest work in the world, but the
results are sometimes amazing. A
grown man discovers he is beginning
to grow again. Endless discussion
about one subject can not maintain
itself on words. 1t dies away unless
it feeds on knowledge and finally in
terpretation. 1t reaches out for facts
and then for the meaning of them. In
modern terms, this Socratic method
means a class of from five to twenty
five, who read books, listen to talks
and ask questions. They take to
themselves like-minded teacher, who
is a good fellow, and together they
work regularly and hard. This is the
heart of workers education-the class
financed on trade union money, the
teacher comrade, the method lis.
cussion, the subject the social sciences
the aim an understanding of life and
the remoulding of the scheme Of
things. Where that dream of bet.
ter world is absent adult workers
education will fade away in the loneli
ness and rigor of the effort.

Senator Predicts Passage
OF Bill Permitting States
To Bar Prison-made Goods

New York City q. L. N. S.)-Pas-
sage by congress of the Hawes-
Cooper bill to permit states to legis-
late against prison-made goods from
other states was predicted by Senator
Hawes, of Missouri, at the annual
meeting of the national committee on
prisons and prison labor.
"The smuggling of prison products
into the markets of now helpless
states is about to end in this country
just as a few years ago we barred
from our markets the products of for
eign convicts," he said.
Edward F. McGrady, of the legis-
lative committee of the American
Federation of Labor, opposing convict
labor for profit, said that organized
labor advocated teaching convicts a
trade at which they could make liv-
ing in the world.

RADIO ENTERS
LABOR STRIFE

BY International Labor News Service
Detroit, Mich.-Radio has just been
used here in labor difficulty; estab-
fishing what local trade unionists be-
lieve to be precedent. The circum-
stances are described by C. V. Ulrich,
business representatives of Lodge 80,
International Association of Machin-
lists, as follows:
con March 27 at 8 p. m. the depart
ment Of street railway management
(municipaD posted notice that there
would be no more work that week
until Monday, April 2. The men
thereupon agreed among themselves
to form as a group in the morning
at the city hall and interview the
mayor, dyed in the wool open shop
per-
"The mayor, running true to form,
declined to see the men, and called the
/
away, as a party of senators, the
guard of honor of the late Senator
Ferris, was enroute to pay visit to
the city hall. Later the men adjourn
ed to the Detroit Federation of La
Dor hall to continue devising ways
and means to stop the continual lay
offs. The management, apparently
getting scared, made use of the radio
station WWJ to call the men back to
work. The men were largely unor-
tganized shopcraft men of the street
railway system.
This is a new wrinkle in labor dis
putes and has as yet to be found out
how far reaching such an innovation
can be. At any rate it is one of the
frsts along with the other for the
first time in history"

Woll on Tour Urges Individual
Support Of Union Labor Life;
Montreal Musicians Get Policy

BY international Labor News Service.
Washington, D. C.-With President
Matthew Woll on swing of Mid
West cities where he is interviewing
district agents, the Union Labor Life
Insurance Company reports, through
General Manager Rainard Robbins,
that the Musicians Union of Montreal
has taken out a group insurance pol
icy covering its 500 members with in
surance of $1,000 EACH
This group policy was secured and
written entirely by mail. The union
was so enthusiastic in its efforts to
secure the insurance that it for
warded with its application check
for much more than enough money to
cover the initial payment of premium.
Cities being visited by President
Woll, of the company, on his western
tour are Cincinnati, st. Louis and
Detroit.
Asks Stockholders to Help
In an appeal to all stockholders,
President Woll has asked each holder
of shares to consider it his first duty
to work in behalf of the company
among his friends and associates. In
his appeal President Woll said:
'As a shareholder in this company
you will no doubt be most favorably
impressed with the progress made and
with the extremely encouraging pros
poets before us. AS a shareholder
you should become aroused as to the
great possibilities that lie before our
organization. The progress made
should encourage you to take an ac-
tive part in promoting both our group
and individual life insurance facilities
among trade unions, trade unionists

DAVIS UNDERSHOOTS
On Unemployment,Is Labor
Bureaus View

New York City 0. L. N. S.)-That
Secretary of Labor Davis undershot
the unemployment mark in his report
to the United States senate, is the
view of the Labor Bureau, Inc, which
holds that the high figure of 100000
is a more nearly accurate figure than
the 1,870,050 which Davis reported as
the number unemployed in excess of
the number unemployed in 1925. The
bureau offers lengthy statement Of
analysis to prove it's point, admitting
at the same time that this figure,
too, is an estimate. The bureau says:
Secretary Davis figures on en-
ployment would seem to indicate that
there are 5,790,000 out of work, in
stead of 1,870,050 as he stated, ac-
cording to statement issued today
by the Labor Bureau, Inc.
"The bureau, whose own estimate of
100000 was criticized as too large
by Mr. Davis, argued that its method
Of calculation was more conservative
than Davis and stated that it does
not believe as many are jobless as a
careful examination of Mr.. Davis re-
port would lead the reader to think.
at concluded that on account of the
insuffciency of data all such esti-
mates are largely guesswork, and
charged that the administration had
been negligent in not providing a CO.
ordinated national system of employ
ment exchanges, by means of which
the facts could be known and be-
ginning made at dealing with the
problem.
Secretary of Labor Davis report
to the senate, in response to Senator
Wagner's resolution, is. really not 6
report on unemployment, but re-
port on employment. 1t estimates the
decrease in the number of employed
persons, between January, 1925, ant
January, 1928, as 81 1,S70,O50, but does
not estimate the additional number
for whom there are not jobs, or &C
count of the growth of the population
the movement of farmers to the cities
and the number unemployed at th'
base period. If conservative additions
were made for these factors, the sec
retarys estimate of unemployment
could scarcely be less than 5,796,92O
This is considerably larger than th'
estimate of 100000 made by the La
Dor Bureau, Inc, and criticized b,
the secretary as too large"

stand ready to help by giving training
in the prisons and assisting in the de-
velopment of prison industries on the

Assistant (State) Attorney General

Smith had signed the bill requiring
prison goods from other states to be

Jurisdiction Is Waived
Permitting Mixed Trades
10 Form One Organization

Washington, ID. C. G. L. N. 81
A charter has been granted by the
American Federation of Labor to the
newly formed union of 1000 General
Motors employees in Oshawa, Canada.
The union was organized as trade
union by James Simpson, vice presi-
dent of the Trades and Labor Con-
gress of Canada and is the first big
dent in the non-union ranks of Gen
eral Motors.
One of the interesting features of
the Oshawa organization, according to
Frank Morrison, secretary of the
American Federation of Labor, is that
the organization started as a company
union. But the company union form
of organization was found worthless
when it came to resisting a wage re-
duction ordered enforced by General
Motors.
Unions Waive Jurisdiction
Not only is this the biggest single
union ever formed in Canada, but is
the first union of any consequence
chartered by the American Fedora
tion of Labor to include the mixed
trades of the automotive industry
This was made possible by waiver
of jurisdiction on the part of various
international unions.
A strike to resist the wage reduc-
tion on the part of the newly formed
union was brought to an end through
the efforts of the Hon. Peter Heenan
minister of labor.
Other victories for labor are re.
