r OS ANGELES, April 21.-How
to convince $4,000 INDECENT
Mexican citizens that they
~ should give up the fat prospect
of free food and no work here
and return to an uncertain existence
in their native land is giving Los
Angeles County charity officials some
thing to worry about.
On its face, the problem is simple:
The INDECENT persons would make
nice train journey to their homes
with all expenses paid by Los An
geles County and accept 90 pesos from
the county on arrival at their destina-
ton.
But there's kink in it.
The average INDECENT Mexican.
whose family generally numbers FIVE
or more, is hesitant about going home.
He dwells on the greatness of the
United States and it's President and
the charitable principle that all shall
be fed. He thinks maybe if he went
back to Mexico he wouldn't eat at all
unless he worked hard.
$4,000 Return.
In spite Of the many obstacles they
have encountered, however, county
charities department workers have
convinced $4,000 Mexicans repatria-
ton would not be disadvantageous
The cost Of transporting these 10000
aliens to their homes has been high
II,t -
ant superintendent of charities in
charge of repatriation work, said to-
day it has saved the county far more
than that.
These 10000 Mexicans represent
but $500 cases on the welfare rolls.
On the basis of $50 per month per
case, they were costing the county
$4,000 a month.
The alien Mexicans are not in this
country illegally, Thomson pointed
out. Most of them came across the
border when it was wide open" as
labor crews recruited by the railroads
or for industrial and agricultural en-
terprises.
The depression put these aliens out
of their jobs, and they could not be
deported except for conviction Of a
felony.
Mexico Co-operates.
Thomson said the Mexican govern
ment has co-operated in the repatria-
ton movement to the utmost Of its
ability.
Mexico is happy to have its citi-
zens return" he said. "As one gov

n YEW YORK, April 21.-From an
M experimental project at Bay
" lor University Hospital, Dali
4 las, Tex, the plan to provide
form of non-prof1t hospital
insurance for persons of moderate
means has spread in 4 years to 80
cities in this country. 1t is called
group payment for hospital care"
and now finds its most ambitious
manifestation in New York, where 100
of the city's largest hospitals are ex-
pected by its sponsors to join the
movement. 1t is designed to give
members three weeks of "semi-priv-
ate" hospital care for $40 annual
fee.
The American Hospital Associa-
ton Endorsed this theory of hospital
insurance a year ago, and its presi-
dent, DR.. Nathaniel w. Faxon of the
Strong Memorial Hospital in Roches-
ter, N. Y, is leading the campaign
to inaugurate the voluntary insur-
ance plan in New York. Here the
experiment finds its chief support in
the United Hospital Fund, an organi-
zation with Sc member hospitals, with
which it co-operates in providing free
treatment to needy patients. Every
voluntary hospital in the city and the
metropolitan area meeting the stand
ards and approval of the American
College of Surgeons would be eligible
to membership, as well as certain
qualified proprietary hospitals.
Costs SO Year.
The Associated Hospital Service, as
it would be known here, would under
take solicitation of annual member
ships among employed groups arrang-
ing with employees and employers for
pay roll deductions. Memberships
would cost $40 year and would apply
to employed persons only, not to their
dependents.
Baylor University Hospital Is going
a step further than this and is now
using a family plan of group hospi-
talization, applying only to the de-
pendents of employed persons covered
in the original plan. From the lun-
Der camps. oil towns and mining
camps of the State many families.

GabriIowitsch of Opinion
Period of Transition
Continues.

DETROIT, April 81 R.-The
New Deal" in music, says Ossip Cab
rilowitsch, conductor Of the Detroit
Symphony Orchestra, depends on the
ability of the masses to respond in
telligently to modern mechanical de-
vices.
I'VE are still in the period Of transi-
tion," Gabrilowitsch said. The num-
Der of persons listening to music is
growing while the number actually
playing their own music and taking
lessons Is dwindling. The problem is
to prove that making your own music
is more fun than just listening. When
you have proved that you will not
need to worry about the future Of
music"
Best Orchestras Here.
He said he was inclined to be opti-
mistic about the result.
The rapid development of mechan-
lied music, he hopes, will create a
new army of players, mediocre play
ers perhaps" but more intelligent
listeners in the great concert halls.
The United States possesses the
greatest orchestras in the world, Cab
rilowitSch asserted.
America has the pick Of the
worlds best musicians and has been
in this position at least for the last
20 years." he added. They came
from all countries of the world and
we have made of them a dozen ex-
cellent major orchestras and four OF

In Europe there are perhaps so major

/ Federal support of education come
well certain European conditions
which substantiate their position.
The contention that Federal aid
means Federal control with its pos
sible subsequent evils evidently has
considerable basis.
Freedom Allowed.
No courses of study are prescribed
by the national board; no text books
are selected. No specific methods Of
instruction are insisted on for any
grade or any subject. On the con-
trary, the American ideal Of provid-
ing freedom and individuality and
experimentation is encouraged as es-
sential for genuine progress. Op-
portunity for diversity and variety;
for spontaniety and innovations is
believed to be vital in enabling both
teachers and pupils to realize their
fullest possibilities.
From the standpoint of the parents,
equal freedom Is guaranteed. It is
incumbent on them to see to It that
every child receives an education up
to the age Of at least IA and to Is
or 18 at the option Of local authorities.
But whether that child attends a pri-
vate, semi-public or a genuinely
public school, a denominational or a
sectarian institution is left entirely to
the discretion of the father or mother.
Moreover, in a manner rivaling the
best Of our parent-teacher associa-
tions, these parents are encouraged to
cooperate in every way possible in all
the activities directly or indirectly re-
lated to the schools. The result has
been a development to an extraor-
dinary extent Of the voluntary workers
connected with education.

HOLDS EDUCATORS
MUST MEET FOES
Illinois U. Dean Says They
Must Counter Demands
of Industry.
BY the Associate Press.

BY the Associated PreSS.
URBANA, Ill, April 21.-It is high
time, says Dean Thomas E. Benner
Of the University Of Illinois College
of Education, that educators counter
the attacks of industry on school
budgets by a true statement Of a
changing social order that has brought
about present conditions.
I'm its essence" he says, "the So
called New Deal is a belated effort to
secure recognition of some of the
problems which have been created by
industrial, economic and political
change and belated effort to find solu-
tions for them"
Dean Benner says the schools need
every cent allotted to them and can
not afford to take drastic cuts in in
come.
Enrolment Increased.
"In 1900, for example, the enroll
ments in the high schools in the
United States totaled 500,000," he
says. by l92O, they mad increased
800 per cent to 4,500,0 ,000 At the OPEN
ing of the present school year, there
had been a further increase to ap-
proximately 5,500,000."
He says up to and including 1910
each Federal census showed an in
crease in the percentage Of children
between 10 and Is years gainfully en-
ployed in industry.
But, in 1920 Dean Benner says this
figure had fallen from 1874 per cent
to less than 9 per cent, and by this
year it was probable it had shrunk to
less than a fraction of l per cent.
"This," he says, explains in large
part the extraordinary growth in pub
lie school enrollments in the upper
grades of the elementary school and
in the high school during the same

wage for substitute postal employees, many OF
whom remain substitutes for as long as IA or
Is years. Pres. Leo. E. George of the National
Federation of Post Office Clerks told Federated
press. The bill passed the House late on April
10, with the amendment approved by the Senate
providing for a minimum OF 100 hours of employ
ment a month for substitutes, as first passed it
had called for a minimum wage OF SIS per week.
The rate for postal clerks and letter carriers is
Csc an hour.
Substitute postal workers are Subject to call
at any time on any day and are thereby deprived
of other opportunities for employment to exc out
their meager earnings which have been subject
ed to the general Is per cent reduction and to a
deduction of 31-2 per cent for the retirement
fund.
The bill had the support of the National Assn.
of Letter Carriers and the Railway Mail Assn.
besides that of the Post Office Clerks. 1t was
opposed as inadequate by the National Assn. Of
Substitute Post Office Employees, which is not
affiliated with the American Federation of Labor
and which has conducted a number of demon
s%trations Of postal substitutes.

THE UNION LABEL

Since the advent of the MIRA, a drastic effort
has been made on the part of open shop manu-
facturers to make the Blue Eagle a substitute
for the Union Label. The move is evident, es-
pecially in Butte stores. Stores that once hand
led heavy line OF Union Label goods have moth
ing to offer, other than articles bearing the Blue
Eagle. As the Blue Eagle idea moves on, or
ganized labor can we'll see that the Eagle is a
poor substitute for the Label. The Eagle, i'll
most industries merely means a starvation wage
and the sharing of work by the workers, under
the guise of a shortened work week. The Eagle
has done little to restore an American Standard
of living to American workers. The workers
guarantee OF living wage is the Union Label.
The month of April has been set aside by the
American Federation OF Labor as Union Label
Educational Month. In line with the program
the MONTANA LABOR NEWS prints facsimi-
les of all the Union Labels. These labels on
any article of goods or these cards in any shop
or store mean that the workers have the high
est wage scale for that class of work i'll the
United States. They mean that the scale of
wages for employees are far above the Code
Wage scales of the industry. They mean that
the industry complies with the spirit of the NRA
100 per cent by allowing the workers the full
rights of collective bargaining. Study the labels
closely. Demand these labels on all goods you
buy and demand to see the card in every barber
shop, hotel or restaurant you frequent.

One reason the Administration fears
the LaFollette bill is the young SEN
ator's success in boosting the inher-
itance tax to go per cent. His amend
ment to the revenue bill rode through
the Senate 65-14. The LaFollette
rates range from l per cent on net
estates up to $4,000, to so per cent
on estates over $4,000, 900. The tax
is estimated to yield $50, 100000 in
revenue.

By a narrow margin it failed to de-
clare for "the naturalization of bank
ing, basic industries, transportation
and communication and the s~ocializa-
ton Of economic processes" The
conference had implied its approval of
a socialist state, middle-grounders de-
clared, but it was a bit too much to
say it in so many words. The vote
was about 125 for socialism, It's for
soft-pedaling.
The conference did "appraise as fu-
tile, toward the final elimination of
unemployment, those attempts of the
Roosevelt administration in an era Of
surplus economy, to raise prices by
substituting scarcity, whether in fac
tories or on farms. In an economy of
abundance such as ours we believe un-
employment will finally be eliminated
by production for use rather than
profit. Both productive and distribu-
tive industries are public services"
