WpA Adult Education
Enrolment Passes
5000 Mark

Fitting into the expanded national
adult education program of WPA,
which is expected to reach an en-
rollment of 2,OOO,0 900 persons before
the end of the year, State WPA Adj
ministrator Joseph E, Parker today
said Montana's adult education en-
rollment last month had passed the
5000 mark, with increases reported
every period since then.
The Montana Works Progress Ad-
ministration's division of education,
following its highly successful
teachers training conference at
Montana State College this summer,
opened its biggest season in Septem-
Der with class attendance reaching
1898 by the end of the month.
Indicating the extent of the pro-
gram, statistics compiled for that
month show that WPA classes pro-
vided 5,993 enrollees of all ages and
classes with a total of 1883 hours
of instruction.
Located in practically every com
munity in the state, and offering
carefully planned instruction in
courses ranging all the way from
the fundamentals of reading and
writing to the ~intricacies of adj
vanced calculus, 1876 WPA teachers
each gave an average of 468 student
instruction hours. Since September
enrolment demands have increased
to such an extent that 275 WPA
teachers r now employed.
In the major divisions of the pro-
gram, vocational subjects, with 2,269
persons enrolled, were most popular.
Next was Naturalization and Lit
eracy subjects, which offered a guild
ing hand to 1,494 persons who de-
sire to become citizens or to be
better citizens. Other divisions in
order of enrolment were: Avoca-
tional, General Adult, Correspond
ence courses, Physical Education and
Occupational Therapy. The educa-
ton program of WPA also includes
the operation of a score of nursery
schools which benefit several hun
bred needy tots monthly, Mr.. Parker
explained.

Public Hearing On
0~teupaiiOnaI Diseases
To Be Held in Butte

The state occupational disease
commission was created by a reso-
luton passed by the last session of
the legislature. 1t is made up of
two representatives of labor, two
of the industries chiefly concerned,
and one of the state.
Labor's representatives are James
D. Graham, president of the State
Federation of Labor, and Denis
Mccarthy of the Butte Miners
Union; representing industry are J.,
], Carrigan and Carl Traderman of
big and little mine operators, and
representing the state is DR.. w. F.
Cogswell, secretary of the State
Board of Health.
The commission will hold public
hearings in the following places:
Nov. 25th, Billings.
Nov. 18th, Great Falls.
Nov. 30th, Helena.
Dec. LIST, Phillipsburg.
Dec. End, Anaconda.
Dec. 5th, Butte.
The hearings will start at 10 a. m.
and it is expected that the various
courthouses can be secured for the
occasions.
1t is the purpose of the commission
to determine what oc%cupational
diseases constitute a health hazard
in the state because at the last two
legislative sessions silicosis compen-
sation measures were introduced and
were amended to cover lead, mer-
curry and arsenic poisoning, burns
from X-rays. anthrax, and carbon
monoxide poisoning by garage en-
ployees.
All of these will be covered and
silicosis is to get the greatest con-
sideration.
At the hearings both sides may
testify and the Butte one was made
last because it will be the longest
and most interesting.

CHAIRMAN LEWIS RE(ITE5 LONG LIST OF
Achievements since ORGANIZATION, 1895

Entertains Delegates from All
Sections of the United States
and Canada.

PITTSBURGH. - Delegates from
every mass production industry and
from all parts of the United States
and Canada assembled at The
Grotto on this industrial city's North
Side for the first constitutional con-
vention of the Committee for In
dustrial Organization, and hailed the
imposing list of gains amassed by
the CLIO in the first three years of
its existence.
From Chairman John L. Lewis,
who opened the convention with a
long report on the CLOS activities
under his leadership, they heard
that the "CIO has brought body and
substance to the idea of progressive
democracy and economic stability"
Lewis noted that:
1. CLIO membership stands at A.
037,877, divided into AZ international
unions and organizing committees,
and 675 directly chartered local in
dustrial unions.
2. Twenty-thre state industrial
union councils and 164 local indus
trial union councils are now affili-
ated to the CLIO.
3. The clio is always ready for
labor peace, but will refuse to be
another Czechosolvakia, to be dis
membered and destroyed by such
powers as seek peace at its expense"
4. The CLIO has been a bulwark
for progressive legislation, and is
determined to press forward to new
gains for labor.
5. The CLIO has a seven-point pro-
gram for bringing about greater
prosperity for American workers
and a more stable and equitable
economic system.
6. The CLIO, by ~weathering the
economic depression and protecting
the rights of the jobless, has earned
an ever greater place in the life of
the nation.
Z. The representatives of the CLIO
unions are assembled to dedicate a
labor movement, impelled by the
unquenchable desire to better the
lot of fellow men and led onward
by the just principles upon which
our nation was founded. In the CLIO
lies the hope of America"

PLANS FORUM
PROGRAM

The Adult Education Division oil
the WPA will encourage and assist
the development of a community
forum program in Butte, according
to Richard Lake who is supervisor
of public affairs in that division.
The community forum program
will differ from the Studebaker
forums held in Butte and other Mon
tana cities last year, in that they
will be of and by the community,
Lake said. Speakers will be recog-
nized leaders and thinkers of Butte;
and topics to be discussed will be
chosen by a forum council made up
of leaders of all representative
groups. Thus the forum will be in
fact a clearing house for Butte's
ideas and problems-free and open
to all interested persons.
The program will be in no sense
a Works Progress Administration
program, but will be definitely the
community's own, Mr.. Lake empha-
sized.
The program will be conducted
on a no-expense basis. Meetings
will be held in the old Butte high
school at the corner of Park and
Idaho Streets.
An initial series of three forum
meetings will be organized and
sponsored by the local adult educa-
ton program under the supervision
of Mr.. Kenneth Mulholland. If, al
the end of that series, public inter
est and enthusiasm warrant the con-
tinuance of the program, it will be
handed over to the forum council,
which is now being selected.
No definite date has been set fol-
the beginning of the initial series, as
a reserve list of speakers and sub
jects must first be built up. Public
spirited persons who believe in the
value of free and open discussion Of
contemporary problems, and who
feel that they would like to con
tribute their knowledge and expert
ence, are urged to get in touch with
Mr.. Mulholland at the old Butte high
school.
The forum movement is spreading
rapidly over the country as a whole.
according to Mr.. Lake, and there is
every indication that Butte can have
as fruitful and provocative a pro-
gram as any. In the face of en-
croachment of totalitarian and ter
roristic methods of government
throughout the rest of the world,
Americans are r~easserting their
traditional love of democratic pro-
cesses and their traditional faith in
pooling ideas and arriving at COM
mon solutions. One of the most
hopeful signs of this new declaration
of confidence in democracy is the
growth of the forum movement, in
which persons Of all ideas and faiths
may participate in arriving at a
democratic answer to common prob
lens. Many prominent thinkers re-
gard the forum movement as Amer
ica's most distinctive contribution tc
democratic government, Mr.. Lake
said.

Ignoring itutional rights and

However, a group of union mem

in a manner sufficiently convincing
to cause the measure to be tabled
