EVASION
OF Postage By Corporations
Blocked

Washington.-Of of public
utility companies and other large
business concerns started an organic
ed attempt to sabotage the govern
ment by schemes to evade the in
crease in postage rates on first class
mail from 2 to cents.
The favorite scheme was to hire
private concerns whose employees are
paid low wages to delivery bills in
stead of sending them through the
mails. 1t was estimated that by pool
ing their bill deliveries in the hands
of private concerns the big companies
could blk the government out of
$1,000 on every 100000 bills.
The post office department blocked
this scheme by pointing out that the
postal laws do not permit anyone to
enter into competition with the pos
tai service in carrying letters. A
company may use its employees for its
own deliveries, the department said
but two or more companies will not
be allowed to use the same employe
nor hire messenger or other deliv-
cry service to deliver their bills.

GLASS WORKERS
TO RESIST CUT

Toledo, Ohio (ILNS)-When the
American Flint Glass Workers Un-
ion met here in convention this week,

ditions which have caused widespread
unemployment"

ization to exert it's utmost endeavors
in the direction of finding a solution
for the current economic difficulties.

MAGAZINE
Ordered Destroyed For
Talking" Out Loud

Washington, d. c. (ILNS)--For an
editorial saying our forefathers, if in
the position of today's unemployed,
would take down their fintlocks and
enforce their rights" the Freeman,
published by Emanuel Haldeman-
Julius at Girard, Kans., has been sup
pressed, postal authorities holding
that for purposes of destroying the
issue involved the regulations against
"obscene" papers can be invoked.
On the first page of the same issue
there was an editorial attacking Pres
ident Hoover, but the authorities say
they didn't act because of it.
The publisher, who went to Girard
poor, married a wealthy girl and
took over the Appeal" made famous
by Fred Warren and Zone Hay Way
land" says he wrote in metaphor
and that the suppression for lob
scenity" is just subterfuge. He once
worked on the late New York Call
and the Milwaukee Leader.

TEACHERS In FOR
ORGANIZATION


Chicago.-The American Fedora
tion of Teachers at its sixteenth an
ual convention here determined to put
into immediate effect plans for an in
tensive organization campaign. The
work will be under the immediate
direction of the secretary-tr treasurer.
Mrs. Florence Curtis Hanson Cen
ters will be established in four Sec
tions of the country, Atlanta for the
South, San Francisco for the Pacific
coast, st. Paul for the North Cen
tral, and Wilkes Barre, Pa, for the
East. Each of these centers will be
under the direction of a district rep
resentative.
"The American Federation of
| Teachers is convinced" declares the
official statement of the federation
announcing the campaign, "that the
only hope for safeguarding public
education from the onslaughts which
are being made upon it at this time
lies in the sound effective organiza-
tion of teachers into trade unions af-
| filiated with the American Federation
of Labor.
at has found that all over the
country the only support which the
teachers have received in their re-
sistance to salary reductions, curtail-
ment of the curriculum, shortening of
the school year, lengthening of the
school day, increasing of the teacher
load and all those things which make
for the reduction of costs at the price
of lessened efficiency and service to
the children, has been from organized
labor
'The teachers of America are real
izing their responsibility in this Sc
rious situation which jeopardizes the
future of our public schools and are
prepared to take steps to resist those
influences. The American Federation
of Teachers through the plan which
is being worked out will give the
teachers the opportunity to work in a
constructive movement to save our
schools for our children"
Mrs. Hanson plans to give her
time and services throughout the ma
ton wherever the need seems great
est, visiting Massachusetts first in
September upon the opening of the
schools. She will present the cause
of the teachers and public education
to the American Federation of Labor
at its annual convention in Cincin-
natl in November.
The American Teacher, the official
publication of the American Fedora
tion of Teachers, will continue to be
issued as an organ for bringing to
the attention of teachers and the pub
lie the true situation in the schools
Mrs. Hanson is the editor-in-chief OF

Absolute prohibition of the manu-
facture and sale of dangerous toys
such as air rifles, cap pistols, sling
shots, bows and arrows, darts, toy

are now in schools for the blind some
500 children who have lost their sight
as result of accidents, chiefly
through the use of fireworks, air rifles
and other weapons. Each year be-
tween $50 and 1000 children suffer
accidental eye injuries in the United

BAKERS UNION
Place Bakeries Failing to
Sign Up on Unfair List

At the recent expiration time of
the agreement between Master Bak-
ers and the Bakers Local Union
No. 81, some of the master
bakers showed reluctance
to sign the new agreement. The en-
ployes showed every patience in try
ing to persuade them to see the stu
alton from their side and refrained
from taking action that would in any
way injure or prove detrimental to
the employers interests.
In the very beginning a majority
signed up readily and others came
over since, but there are three of the
masters who steadfastly have failed
to cooperate with the journeymen
bakers in their attempt to adjust
matters in a friendly way, and the
union has finally placed them on their
1--WE don't patronize" list, and they
ask all organized labor members and
their friends to be guided accordingly.
The bakeries placed unfair are:
The Banner Grocers' Baking Co.
purity Bakeries Corp.), makers of
Taystee Bread, Geier's Bakery and
Philip Millilo, 802 Heaton street. The
journeymen are anxious that the sit
uation be cleared up in an amicable
manner, that the bosses will see the
advantage to all concerned of coming
to a quick adjustment of their differ
ences so that the former friendly re-
lations can again be resumed as soon
as possible. And all organized labor
hopes for the same.

Third of Parks Donated

Park and recreation areas valued at
more than $1O0,000,000 and compris-
ing $4,000 acres have been donated to
municipalities in the United States,
according to a study made by the
National Recreation Association.
These parks comprise one-third of all
municipal recreation areas, the study
reveals, the remainder having been
secured by the expenditure of mu-
nicipal funds. Some cities, including
New Brunswick, N. j.; Oneonta,
N. Y, and Raleigh, N. c., reported
that every acre of their existing
parks was secured through gifts.

THORNTON, LABOR
FRIEND, MAY GO

Montreal (ILNS)-Rumors from
Ottawa, published in the Montreal
Star, are that Sir Henry Thornton's s
presidency of the Canadian National
Railway may be terminated soon
His contract expires in 1888, but it
is not stated whether the rumors in
dicated severance of relations prior
to that expiration. Sir Henry has
gained wide reputation as friend
of labor, and for his work in devel-
oping union-management co-opera-
ton. He was one of the speakers at
the Montreal convention of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor.

Long Under Petty Fire

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)--It is
learned here that there have been
other rumors of the retirement of
Sir Henry Thornton. He has long
been under fire of conservatives in
the Canadian government on petty
grounds. His position on labor rela-
tions has brought him constant oppo-
sition from die-hards and reaction
aries. New rumors of severance of
relations do not cause surprise here,
but their accuracy is seriously
doubted
