HENRY r. LINVILLE,

IT is to be hoped that President Green will

they can present a united front against the

Labor can not afford to reject the affiliation

the Matt VOLS to speak for it and to direct it's
policy, it will deserve the charge of Benjamin

Liberal Viewpoint
BY DIR. HARRY ELMER BARNEs-

MATTHEW WOLL seems to be up to his old
1N1 tricks again. malicious campaign has
been started against liberal teachers Such
teachers are almost invariably the ones who
support labor unionism in their teachings and
public statements. They are also those most
inclined to favor the unionization of teachers.
It would have seemed that Mr.. Vol as vice
president of the American Federation Of Labor,
would have been one of the first valiantly to
array himself on the side of the teachers now
under fire. Instead, he has thrown himself
heartily into the heresy hunt.
For this he is called" in cogent and timely
fashion by DR.. Henry Lincile of the Teachers
Union in the following letter to William Green,
president Of the American Federation Of Labor:
"DEAR Sir and Brother:
- Il writing to you to enter formal
protest against the participation of Matthew
VOL a vice president of the American Fedora
ton of Labor in the "heresy- hunting" activities
of the Hearst newspapers, which are being d-
rected against liberal college teachers in some Of
the great universities.
ut is true, Mr. Vol now speaks as acting
president of the National Civic Federation. an
organization that was active in the state of New
York in support of the Infamous LuSk school
laws, which organized labor itself helped to
abolish in 1923.
However, it is because of Mr.. VOLS respon-
sibility as a leader in the labor movement that
organized union teachers are forced to bear the
brunt of the discredit of his stand in opposition
to the spirit of academic freedom in the schools
and colleges of this country.
For several years teachers unions have been
trying to further the organization of the college
teachers who are friendly to organized labor. We
are obliged to state frankly at this time that the
most serious obstcle we have met in this en-
deavor is the current belief among educators
that Mr.. Vol represents a reactionary and
fascist spirit and because of his frequent public
utterances of the character such spirit tends to
be charged against all labor leadership, no mat
ter how progressive it may actually be.
Since Mr. VOL appears to be Indifferent to
the need Of protecting academic freedom in the
colleges even in behalf of the interests of or
ganized labor, we believe thatit is incumbent on
enlightened labor leadership, of which your own
attitude toward intolerant Fascism is we'll
known example, to protect the labor movement
from discredit in this emergency.
81 bespeak your deep concern in this matter of
making it known to the liberal and progressive
elements throughout the country that organized
labor stands for freedom Of conscience, freedom
Of inquiry, and freedom of speech, not only for
the workers in industry, but also for the white
collar" workers in educational institutions with
out whose trained intelligence, scholarship, and
friendly cooperation organization labor may
not be able to make effective Roadway against
the social forces aligned in opposition to our
movement"

 For Aldermanic Board
Believes Fixed Salary Better Than "Jnnket Trip; 1. Objects to Life Appointments for City Employees

Republican Town Chairman Frederick w. Palomba Is opposed to creating a life position for any, one, regardless of whether they are republican or democrat, be- cause he believes 1t to- be contrary to the constitution. He made known his views in an address to members of the Waterbury Wo- mems Club at meeting last night.
 MT Palomba, who is assistant clerk of the senate, referred par- ticularly to the bill now before the legislature, scheduled to come up for hearing to-day, which would give Miss Kathleen Crowley life job as woman probation officer. He said he holds no briefs against Miss Crowley but believes no one should be given life position.
 Mir Palomba talked considerably about the bills to be heard on Wa terbury Day at Hartford, March 2l. He urged all members to at- tend this session of the legislature and state their opinions about the various bills that will be heard. He urged support of the republican bill, providing for competitive bid- ding on all contracts awarded by the city, The present charter per nlits the. letting of contracts with out competition if the department head files statement saying it is for the best interest of the city.
