ILLITERACY

There are indications of an awaken
ing to the shame of permitting illit-
eracy in this richest of nations, which
above all others can afford to edu-
cate its citizens. Approximately five
million Americans are illiterate in the
meaning of the word as used by the
census bureau, that is, they can not
read. How many others have next
to no education, though they may be
able to read and write few words,
| is not known but it must be large.
Two counties in the United States,
to their credit, have realized that il
literacy is an evil that should not be
endured and have determined to end
| it within their borders. One is Bun
combe county in North Carolina,
which some time ago undertook to
wipe out its illiteracy by 1880. The
other is Dane county in Wisconsin,
which has set out for this same goal.
There are thousands of counties in
which there could be complete clean
up of illiteracy, if the public's con-
science was sufficiently aroused and
existing forces organized to deal
with the evil. Buncombe and Dane
counties are showing the way. 9th
ers can follow if they will.

INSEPARABLE

Perhaps the most important task
of organized labor at the present time
is to lay the foundation for perma-
nent attachment of every member.
This means that better understands
ing of trade-union history will have
to be impaired and spirit of loyalty
must be implanted that will not be
shaken by temporary adversely. If
organization overcomes destructive
labor competition an dhelps the work
ers in times of prosperity, it certainly
must have potency when times are
dull and the competition is all the
keener. There is no good reason why
any union should show decline dur
ing dull periods, other than the de.
plorable fact that the workers have
no real understanding of the union
and its many functions. Those who
drop their membership when the union
temporarily fails to provide opportun-
ity are either unprincipled or unin.
formed. We may well be charitable
and assume the latter is the case.
Organized labor should proceed tc
build on permanent basis. 1t should
educate it's members to maintain 8
spirit of loyalty and determination ir
the face of adversely.

CONVICT MINE
LABOR HAS ENDED
IN ALABAMA

Birmingham, Ala-Seven hundred
convicts permanently left the coal
mines of this state for state farms
and road camps.
Alabama is now rid of an issue that
has been before the people for Is
years. The convict leasing system was
fought through the administration of
four governors, and has been the SUBJ
ject Of heated controversy and bitter
feeling. Public sentiment crystalized
against the system after the alleged
murder of James Knox, a convict, by
one of the prison wardens. The trial
revealed that other prisoners had
been cruelty treated. The state legis-
lature abolished the system in Janu-
ary, last year.

"LADY LINDY"

When you hear some one lauding
the achievement of Miss Amelia Ear
hart in being the first woman to cross
the Atlantic in an airplane, stop them
long enough to ask who it was that
accompanied the lady.
Chances are about hundred to one
they won't know. Well, that you may
be informed, it was Lieut.. Wilmer
Stutz, pilot, and Lou Gordon, me-
chanic. The plane was equipped with
heavy and serviceable pontoons.
The flying time was 21 hours and
the distance 2,100 miles.
Some day woman will make the
fight alone.
1t is complimentary to call Miss
Earhart the Lady Indy"
Lindy has as yet no rival in his
achievement.

SQUARE DEAL

Somebody who likes to ask ques-
tions in newspapers recently sought
an answer as to what labor unions
expected from a certain presidential
candidate, and he was answered
Nothing but square DEAL"
The answer is simple, not in respect
to presidential candidates but to Ia
Dor employers in general and coal
operators in particular. A square deal
in this country depends on collective
bargaining. The fake attempt to es-
tablish so-called company unions in

CIVIC DEPRAVITY

Seattle once stood before the world
in a misrepresented sense as the core
of all extremism. The world got a
good deal of distorted picture of
Seattle in those hectic days. 1t is
getting no such picture now.
School teachers, denied the right to
organize, compelled to sign hateful,
enslaving, un-American yellow dog
contracts, have gone back to their
classrooms relinquishing for the time
being their rights as American citi-
zens.
That any community should make
such demands upon citizens in any
category is an example of civic de-
pravity hard to beat.
