FEDERAL A|DASKED
FOR |LL|TERATES
Situation in Southern States
Cited by DR.. Maphis at
Affairs Institute.
BY the Associated Press,

UNIVERSITY, Va, August 14.-An
emergency Federal appropriation for
the education of the Nations vast
army of 100000 illiterates was advo-
Gated today by DR.. Charles G. Maphis,
dean of the Summer quarter at the
University of Virginia and director Of
the Institute of Public Affairs.
Addressing the special institute Of
emergency educational workers for
Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and
the District of Columbia, Dean Ma
phis said this social handicap" is
particularly burdensome in the South
ern States. -#....
2,500,000 IIliterates in South.
The 1880 census, he said, shows
28l, ,601 adult illiterates in Virginia,
Maryland, West Virginia and the Dis
trict of Columbia and nearly $780,
600 In the entire South.
1T is great reflection on this
county of ours" he asserted, com
mitted as it is to universal education,
that such vast numbers have been in
the past, and many still are, deprived,
either from their own indifference or
the careless enforcement of school
laws, of elementary instruction.
This" he continued, "is not the
fault of the illiterates, but of their
Government"
Whatever the reason, the Govern
ment should provide the remedy, he
said.
Illiteracy Like Cotton.
DR.. Maphis recalled that several
years ago he had said that illiteracy
in the South was like cotton-too
much OF both. He pointed out that
the Federal Government since has
taken practical steps to aid the cotton
farmer. He urged that a similar
movement be inaugurated in Wash
ington to eliminate illiteracy.
Brent D. Allison, F. E. r. A. edu-
cational supervisor, speaking before a
conference of college heads yesterday,
said he believed that relief adminis-
tration might well require that illit-
crates on relief rolls come to adult
schools.

TEXTILE FINDINGS
Of OFN.R.A.ASSA|LED
Workers. Convention Hears
German Term Report
disappointing"
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August l4-Findings
Of the N. r. A. Research and Planning
Division on hour and wage require
ments in the cotton textile industry
were attacked today at the annual
convention of the United Textile
Workers Of America.
Francis j. German, first vice presi-
dent and head of a Research Com
mittee Of the United Textile workers.
termed the report disappointing" and
fallacious in its method of approach.
The report on wages, he said, docs
not fully bring to light important
aspects Of the problem"
S0-Hour Standard Hit.
One finding" of the division, Cor
man said, was that when normal
annual consumption of cotton in the
United States is attained, 1t will re-
quire 80 hours per week of productive
machine operation"
German declared that "the Research
and Planning Divisions suggestion of
a 90-hour standard Is at least 80 per
cent too high"
From our studies" he added, I'VE
are convinced that two 30-hour shifts
would be sufficient to meet present
demands"
He declared the cotton textile
average wage lis still 16 cents below
the average for all manufacturing in
dustries, and it still stands as the
lowest of the rates in all but one of
the 26 industries which report to
the United States Bureau of Labor
Statistics"
The N. r. A. Research and Plan
ming Division reported, he said, that
under existing conditions, a further
increase in wages would involve con-
siderable difficulties"
Net Profits Are Cited.
"It is significant" said German,
that SIS cotton textile corporations
showed net profits on their books for
1888, amounting to $13,456,0O0."
Formation Of a policy on cotton
textile conditions was deferred by
the convention pending arrival of
delegates from North Carolina. The
group, now in a State Federation of
Labor convention, was expected to
arrive tomorrow.
II am convinced" said German,
that there is a grim determination
not to continue under the present
conditions in spite of the conse-
quences.
This action, Of course, must come
from the convention
The convention delegates represent
266 locals in 20 States. They unani-
mously voted Endorsement of a knit
goods workers strike in progress in
New York.

NEW YORK, August 14-Repre-
sentative Fred A. Britten, Illinois Re-
publican, described the last Congress
as IAN orphan asylum controlled Dy a
man with a big smile" in q radio ad-
dress last night.
Representative Britten declared that
the national recovery act has failed
to recover"
Millions on Relief.
"The country generally is of the
opinion that the N. r. A. has been a
failure" he asserted. with more
than 10 millions of adults now out of
employment and more than Is mil
lion people on the relief rolls, no one
can honestly say that the recovery
act has come up to the expectations
of its sponsors.
IF the present administration can
offer nothing better for the relief OF
unemployment than an invisible bread
line paid for out Of the Federal Treas
ury, then it had better try a little
old-fashioned horse sense and 60 back
to the Constitution"
Asserting that "AmericaniSm Is on
trial." Britten predicted that '1f the
present leader of the Government
concludes that the offerings Of his
youthful brain trust have been even
mildly successful. then We may reason
ably expect a fresh consignment of
equally revolutionary ideals for pre-
sentation to the new Congress which
convenes in January"
Administration Critic.
He criticized the administration for
attempting to spend ourselves out
of the depression by all sorts of arti-
fetal devices"
Likewise attacking the securities
act, Britten prophesied that there
would be little or no material ex-
pansion in Industrial development
until this drastic law has been
amended"
Radicals" Hit.
Britten also assailed the young
radicals" in Washington for bringing
the United States into the interna-
tional labor organization of Geneva.
"a creature Of the League of Ma
tions, am satisfied that neither
American labor nor industry has any
thing to gain by an alliance Of this
kind" he said.

the auspices of the Crusaders over an

Mediation Parleys to Be Held in
Pittsburgh.

PITTSBURGH, August IA R-
Peaceful picketing continued today at
six Aluminium Co. of America plants
while both sides in a three-day en-
ployes' strike watched mediation
efforts.
The plants, employing nearly 10000
workers, are shut down. Company
officials have announced they will
make no effort to operate until final
arbitration.
Fred Keightly, veteran United States
Labor Department conciliator, is ex-
pected in Pittsburgh within a few
days to start mediation conferences
proposed by the Federal Labor Rela-
tions Board
Keightly was summoned to Wash
tngton yesterday from Philadelphia,
preparatory to coming here. Govern
ment officials disclosed they plan to
draw upon Keightly's experience in
previous labor disputes in Western
Pennsylvania, including supervision Of
employe elections in coal mines.
Under the law, arbitration by the
board must be voluntary with both
sides.
Company officials said they are in
o receptive mood" for any Sugges-
tions from the Federal conciliator,
but indicated antagonism toward any
CLOSED shops" demand
Similar acquiescence to mediation
demands was expressed by leaders of
the strikers, who are seeking check

seniority rights for the workers, stop
ping of alleged discrimination against
union workers and a general wage

Keightly Due Here Today FOR

BY the Associated Press.
The Labor Relations Board today
awaited arrival of Fred Keightly, a
Labor Department conciliator, before
making any further attempt to settle
the aluminium strike.
Lloyd Garrison, chairman Of the
board, conferred meanwhile with
Boris Shishkin, American Federation
of Labor executive, working with the
Aluminium Workers Council. 1t was
decided Keightly should confer with
Shishkin tomorrow morning He was
expected to arrive here late this after
noon.
What course the boards mediation
efforts will take will be detern ined

striking for a contract, the check

The chiefs Of the Alumir um Work
ers' Council are standing by their
demands, while the company, Mellon
interest. seems adamant in its insist
ence that the union demands mean a
'closed shop"
There were reports that the strikers
had funds enough to keep up strike
benefits for as long as two months.
The strike has the approval Of Presi-
dent William Green of the American
Federation of Labor.
Mediation is as far as the Labor
Board can 60 toward q strike settle
ment 1t may suggest settlement.
but it cannot order the strikers back
to work or order both sides to submit
to arbitration. Under the law arbitra-
ton by the board must be voluntary
with both sides.
Green's approval of the strike and
the report from union sources that
the aluminium workers had q tidy
balance in their treasury for strike
benefits meant the Labor Board might
have a tough problem on its hands
in attempting speedy settlement.
Green Backs Strikers.
Green has backed up the strikers
contention that they had clear-cut
issue in the refusal of a company to
bargain with union representatives.
The Labor Board attempted futilely
to stop the strike before it started.
Frank Bowen, board conciliator,
went to Pittsburgh for conferences
with both company and union. He
was unable to arrange an agreement.

that some of the 80 District employees
who canvassed the Takoma section to

persons they canvaSsed. He said if
these canvassers had not "whooped
up" the liquor business more persons
would have registered.
Canvassers Defended.
Prettyman promptly defended the
canvassers, declaring they all had
been carefully instructed not even to
engage in any discussion of the ques-
ton at issue, and that special check
ers had been sent out to see that this
rule was carried out. In urging a
postponement of the referendum,
Sullivan took the position that dry
residents of the section more likely
would be away on vacation September

INITIATION TALK
AGAIN IS SECUTED
Morgenthau Makes Public
Letter of June ID Au-
thorizing Issue.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A continuation, apparently, of
Treasury efforts to allay imitation
fears over recent silver developments
caused Secretary Morgenthau to make
public yesterday letters from Presi-
dent Roosevelt, one dated June IA,
authorizing the issuance Of silver
certificates.
The silver purchase act was signed
June IA.
This communication and an an
swer by the Secretary related to an
announcement already made by the
Treasury-the fact that under present
plans certificates to the full value
of S1.29 an ounce, the statutory price
of the metal, would be issued against
only 62,000,000 ounces of silver.
This, when originally disclosed, fol-
lowed closely on Siver's nationaliza-
ton, and was accompanied by a de-
cline in Government bonds. The Gov
ernment has around $1,70o, 900, 900 of
financing to do soon.
Will Buy More.
The Treasury is scheduled to buy
about 100000, 900 ounces of silver to
bring the 25-75 ratio goal decreed by
the silver purchase act Should all
the silver so acquired be used as a
base for certificates at the Sl.29 valu-
alton, billion dollars plus of cur
rency expansion would follow.
But Morgenthau reiterated yesterday
that the money to be issued for the
present, anyhow, would equal only the
amount spent for the metal.
The Secretary also disclosed that
the Treasury bought Government
bonds totaling s45,098,100 last week
and that there was also acquired $22.-
100000 in bonds of the Home Owners
Loan Corp. Whether due to the sill
yer development, there seemed no
market for these securities at the
price the Treasury thought they
should bring.
The quick squirt in commodities and
stocks and decline in bonds after
recent silver developments, were fol-
lowed by several parleys by Treasury
officials with reporters at which the
former doused imitation speculation
with ice water.
Reason Given.
Morgenthau said he issued the presi-
Dental letters and his reply to put in
black and white an understanding he
and I have had since before he left on
his trip
The second presidential letter, dated
yesterday, merely authorized the issu-
ance of silver certificates amounting
to the money paid out for them.
The Secretary said silver certificates
would be put out against all the bull
lion acquired, including that bought
by the exchange stabilization fund.
