Discussing American industrial

StdSSen Is Waging'
Campaign in
Minnesota
BY THEODORE HUNTLEY

BY THEODORE HUNTLEY
President Roosevelt's personal
political program, which in his
own words calls for the election of
liberals to office regardless Of
PARTY label. is about to have its
first tryout in Minnesota, which
beat him to the idea years ago
by launching the Nonpartisan
League and following through
with the Farmer-Labor party. And
from all accounts, the outcome
will not be pleasing to the Presi-
dent.
For from this distance, 31-year-
old Harold E. Stassen, COP can
didate for governor and the boy
wonder of the 1888 campaigns,
looks like a sure winner over both
Governor Elmer Benson, Presi-
dent Roosevelt's friend and the
Farmer-Labor choice, and Thomas
Gallagher, the Democratic nomi
nee.
AS the Democratic party went
to pieces in Minnesota with the
birth of the Farmer.Labor move
ment, polling only some $4,000
votes in this years primary as
against 100000 by the Republicans
and 100000 by Farmer-Labor can
didates, Candidate Gallagher does
not even figure in the present
fight. The choice lies between
Stassen and Benson, and they do
say that a hundred thousand or
so Republicans who went into the
Farmer-Labor primary in the hope
of beating Benson for a second
term in the State house will be
back home in November voting
enthusiastically for youth and
beauty in the person of their own
nominee.

LACK OF BALLOT
HELD HANDICAP
TO D. C. SCHOOLS
Experts Report System
Needs Recognizing

Reorganization of Washington'S
school system. with a new method
of selecting the Board OF Eduea
ton and a new code, will be neces,
sary before the Capital can have
an efficient and modern educa
tional system. according to re
port made by the advisory commit
tee on education which has com
pleted a survey of the District
schools.
The report was prepared by
Lloyd E. Blauch, educational Spe-
cialist. and DR.. j. Orin Powers, for
Ii years a member of the faculty
of the George Washington UnlVer-
sity School of Education.
FAULTS CITED
Some of the faults of the Dis
trict school system pointed out in
the report are:
l. Local control of the school
system is lacking because OF re
strictions imposed upon the mu-
nicipal government by Congress.
2. The Board of Education
has been narrowly restricted by
legislation and by its subordinate
position to the District Commits
SionerS.
8. Appointment of board mem
berS by the justices OF District
Court is not representative with
respect to the social, economic,
and occupational groups of the
entire population.
4. An antiquated school code
Is a serious stumbling block to
Q progressive school system.
SUFFRAGE LACKING
Lack of suffrage in the District
was commented upon in the re-
port as follows:
There is now no suffrage in
the District, although it could
be granted by Congress with re-
Spect to local affairs.
If the District of Columbia
should be provided with an
elective city council, it would
probably be advisable to pro-
vide also an elective board OF
education, but, until that is
done, it would appear unnecceS-
Sary and inadvisable to estab-
lish an elective board to man
age the schools"
Criticizing the appointment OF
board members, the report pointed
out that since 1906, when this
system was inaugurated, 28 pei
cent of the board members have
been lawyers, the same educational
group to which the justices belong.
OTHER GROUPS IGNORED
While this was done, other large
groups were entirely ignored in
the selection of board members,
and this cannot be justified under
any circumstances, the report
held.
Overlapping of function be-
tween the Board of Education and
the District Commissioners has
been a source of Irritation and
dissatisfaction" the committee
holds.

Clark Frazier, Baconton, Ga, prob.
ably holds the all-time record for
travelling to pay a traffic fine
800 miles.
His action drew commendation
from Traffic Judge Otis r.

man, $12, Frazier's own price. He
was arrested for speeding jan

Frazier explained he came from
Georgia to pay off because he
didn't want every policeman in
the city looking for him when he
stopped here on business.
Il think ought to be fined
$10," he told Judge Hess. The
judge assessed him that amount

"Frazier's action makes ex-

The league, in the past three
years, has become the outstanding
vehicle for organized labor at the
polls. Green's move, certain as
it is to be adopted by the AFL
executive council, cannot but les
sen league influence, however
small be the shrinkage.
CONSIDERATIONS AIDED
Broa dly, Green's action
strengthens the power and influ-
ence of conservative elements in
the AFL, and thereby reduces the
sway of the so-called leftist groups.
Results of this move, inevitably,
will further split labor sentiment
on wage-hour legislation in Con-

This widening Of the rift started
when the CIO and AFL split will
be evidenced vividly in Pennsyl-

almost certainly find the league

the field as open as it is now,
this could conceivably swing the
election to a Republican, as the
big labor vote had a vital part in
putting Democrats in power.

by the United Mine Workers thir

with a roar of unanimous approval
Of its caustic wording from the

His {Holt's) action opposing

Most of the executive business has
already been disposed of, and only
the decision on proposals to expel
AFL President william Green as a
member of the miners was left on
the agenda as important business
Green announced Saturday that
II he is not too busy at the Miami
meeting of the Federation Council,
he would be glad to appear before
the m liners to answer any
charges of anti-UMW a activity
lodged against him. Whether he
will be called will be decided later

The convention went into its
second week today, with President
John L. Lewis dispatching letter
to all CIO unions, which he also
heads, demanding that the WPA
hire Immediately 100000 unem

DEMAND WPA HIRING
This move of Lewis, supported
by the mine workers in adoption

present one, overshadowed routine
work of the miners convention
Adoption of resolutions, of which
there are more than a thousand

AFL Quit
League

MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 81 QN.S0
The blast was on labor's Non
partisan League today and its
claimed non partisanship was
denied and attacked by President
William Green of the American
Federation of Labor.
A "ventriloquist's dummy fol
the CIO leaders" was the way
Green described it in recommend
ing to his executive council that
AFL members of the non-partisan
league be asked to withdraw from
it.
The league was formed in 1896
to bring labor's support to the
reelection campaign of President
Roosevelt. Major George L. Berry
was chairman but when Berry was
appointed United States Senator
from Tennessee, he was succeeded
as league chairman by John l.
Lewis, CLOS boss, with Sidney
Hillman, another CIO leader, as
vice chairman.
Green charged that since then
"droves of crusading radicals and
Communists" have joined the or,
ganiZation and it has become the
nucleus of an independent politi.

prise"
Green condemned the league for
its support of the "hodge-podge"
