to believe that the rank and file Of
workers were not in favor of a strike"

here before there was any strike.
There was no evidence of strike senti-
ment In our reports"

the Mine, Mill and Smelters Workers
Union. an afndavit submitted by Stiles

A list of l3 correspondents was iden-
tifled by Stiles as one which had been
presented to the La Toilette Senate
Committee by Robert A. Pinkerton,
youthful president of the agency.
Stiles explained that his firm was
engaged to protect the steel company
against outside Communists and
labor racketeers." He defined labor
racketeers as people who get hold
of legitimate labor organizations and
shake down employers and employees. -
At the time the agency was en-
ployed in JUNE, 1886, Stiles said:
There was lot of unrest and vio-
lence. The company antici-
pated they might have trouble, and
they wanted to know what was going

Also Refuses to Inject Self Into
Arkansas Senatorial Race,
Reporters Told.

BY the Associs ted Press.
President Roosevelt refused yester-
day to inject himself into either the
New York mayoralty or Arkansas
senatorial races.
One reporter at the Presidents press
conference asked whether support of
Senator Wagner of New York and
Postmaster General Farley for Jere-
miah Mahoney, Democratic opponent
Of Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia. was
indicative of administration views.
Another questioner asked regarding
the fight in Arkansas over the seat
formerly occupied by Senator Robin
son. the Democratic leader.
The Presidents reply was the same
in both cases. He suggested that the
reporters get the usual mimeogra phed
form on answers to such questions
from the White House press depart
ment.

said: They (the people, want the

want the human budget balanced as

the President said that the admins

The American educational sys- tenn spoon-feeds and pampers the student, tending toward mechan- ization of his mind by its lack of emphasis on thinking ability, the Rev. Gustave Dumas of the Ford ham Graduate School, declared to Fordham Summer session stu dents in a special lecture on French secondary education.
 We are not turning out stu dents capable of thinking we are turning out merely factual stu dents. Americas attempts to mechanize everything have spread to the field of education" Father Dumas asserted.
 The professed end of American education is general culture he added, but the system is not in conformity with its end. Manual training, for instance, though good in itself, does not lead to a "cul- tural foundation" he said.
 Turning to French education of which he has first hand know ledge as a doctor of the Univer- sity of Paris, Father Dumas as serted that there must be ln- dications that the student is think ing" in his examination papers. "Of the candidates taking the baccauaaureate examinations not

ALASKA ONLY COST UNITED STATES $1,400,eoo; HISTORY
 SHOWS THAT'S AMOUNT PAID

WASHINGTON, Especial Cor. respondence) - Alaska enthus. lasts who have been using the figure generally recognized as the amount of the purchase price paid for the Territory of Alaska when it was purchased from Rus sia in 1867, namely, $7,2OO,OO, as a base from which to show the value of the Territory through pointing out how many times over Alaska has paid for itself in its production from fisheries, min erals, furs, and other resources, were apparently ultra conserv- ative in their statements if the report of a "bit of history" chron- icled by Hon. Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of the Interior during the Wilson administration, is ac- curate. In fact, it appears that the values shown by such compari- sons could properly be multi piled by four and be approximate ly accurate.
 The error seems to have occur red in accepting the amount of $7, 100000 as the purchase price paid for Alaska, the price noted in history books, while the evi- dence now at hand indicates the price was actually $l, ,400,000- the balance of the money trans ferred to Russia by the check ap. parently being the settlement o1 debt of honor of the United States, contracted with the I'm. perial Russian Government for ( display of friendly naval pow.
