CUTTING SALARIES

New York. The thousands Ui
young men and women who graduate
this month will discover that their
education does not bring them hig.
economic returns, according to sur
vey by the Teachers College of the
Columbia University.
The report, made several months
ago, shocked the nations educators
by It's figures which show that UNI
versities are flooding already over
crowded professions and sinking sal
aries of teachers.
IF colleges continue to send people
into overcrowded professions they are
going to hurt the economic life Of
the country" said DR.. Harold Florian
Clark, professor Of education at the
Teachers College.
THE idea that education will help
people to help themselves is false, :
he said. 1T may send them to heaven,
give them cultural life for their souls,
but we must be honest and admit
that we expect no economic return
from education.
MANY of the youth in America go
through college merely to be consid-
cred respectable"

on larger profit" he said, "the
time is not far off when the mass of
workers, who are practically nothing
more than parts of the machine, and
whose intelligence has been blunted

The delegates visited one of the
Ford plants, where they found condi-
tions previously described by Frank
X Martel, president of the local Fed

was stated, are facing real compe-

completely dehumanize workers by
calling for still higher speed.

the speed-up system, is increasing dis

POWER TRUST
Curb Is Urged BY u. S.
Senators

Washington. - "Curb the power
trust" is called for by the senate
agriculture committee in report ia
vorable to government control OF
Muscle Shoals. A similar resolution
was passed by the last congress, but
was annulled by the supreme court,
following the Coolidge pocket veto.
"In the face of terrible disclosures
by the federal trade commission, the
power trust demands that the natural
resources of the country shall be
turned over to private corporations
for private profit. 1t insists on capi-
talizing for its own profit the prop
erty of the people"
The report calls attention to the
power trusts opposition to govern
ment control of Muscle Shoals that
started the inquiry into the activity
of public utility interests now going
on before the federal trade commits
sion.
The report denies that the question
involved is one of putting the gov
ernment into business" holding that
protection of government property
improvement of navigation and the
controlling of waters is the issue.
The private utility corporations are
accused of undertaking, through the
intricate and secret control of the
most human activities, to build up a
public sentiment in favor of their
viewpoint"
millions Of dollars have been
spent, as shown by the federal trade
commission investigation" it is as
serted, ''for the purchase of news
papers, for the employment of college
professors and school teachers, and

Conference Report Retains Provision Asked By
Labor With Date of Count Unsettled Amend
ment for Tally Of Idle, Together With Distri-
button Inquiry, Finds Approval Labor Officials
Hopeful that Innovation Will Become Perma-
nent Practice.

Washington, d. c., (ILNS).-A cen
sus of unemployed will be taken as a
part of the 1880 enumeration which is
! to be made as a basis for reappor-
/ tionment of the House membership.
The provision for the count of idle
workers in industry has been included
IN the Conference Committee report
and is thus assured Of passage with
the bill. 1t will be the first govern
mental census of unemployed ever
made in the United States.
Objections were raised that such an
addition of the regular census would
entail much additional work and would
slow up the count and were met by
the counter assertions that enumer-
ators have to secure complete infor-
nation in any event and that the tab
ulation of the information will not
add any appreciable burden. But per-
haps more than anything else, the re-
quirement for compilation Of statistics
ON distribution, included in the bill at
the suggestion of President Hoover,
though made by him while Secretary
of Commerce, offset any objection as
to the addition of work necessitated by
the unemployment census.
Problem Grows Yearly
The American Federation of Labor's
legislative committee worked dill
gently to protect the provision sought
by labor and convinced opponents that
the provision was valuable and of BEN
eft to all factors in industry and COM
merce.
1t was pointed out that unemploy-
ment is becoming annually more SER
ious problem and that it is being made
more serious, not by lack of material
prosperity, but by the introduction of
automatic machinery and by the es-
tablishment of age limits in large
plants.
In the House debate it was pointed
out by Representative Chindblom, IL
inois, that the census bureau will be
required to make careful plans for the
unemployment enumeration, compil-
ing new questions to be asked so as to
elicit information that will result in
revealing the proper type of informa
ton From other sources it is learned
that the census bureau has anticipated
the necessity for such preparation and
has had the matter under considera-
ion for at least six months.
Hopes to Confer on Plans
1t is expected by trade unionists
that the census bureau will confer
with labor and employer organizations
in order, as far as possible, to perfect
system of questioning and compil
ing that will produce the most valu-
able record possible under the circum-
stances.
Secretary Frank Morrison, of the
American Federation of Labor, was
today frankly pleased at retention of
the unemployment provision in the
conference report. He believes that
information of tremendous Importance
will be revealed by the resulting
count
Trade union officials, however, go
further than the present victory and
express the belief that in order to be
of permanent value as guide in shap-
ing industrial policies, unemployment
must be made a subject of count in
