EDIICATION

ATTENTION was specially focused on education
by the national education program proposed
by the Presidents Advisory Committee and be-
cause Of concern for the rapidly expanding pro-
gram for vocational education. The afirmationS
and principles adopted by the Houston Convention
in reality constitute comprehensive statement of
the American Federation of Labor educational
principles and youth program.
The Federation reaffirmed its endorsement of
the Federal grants in aid for education, pointing
out that low income states also were high birth
rate states and consequently cannot provide equal
educational opportunities with California, New
York Only through Federal grants-in-aid can
there be provided equal educational opportunities
for ALL The Federation, however, insists that in
making such grants the Federal government should
conform to the democratic practices existing local
ly in providing that in the allotment of grants an
advisory citizen committee should advise the Com
missioner of Education.
With regard to vocational education the Fed
Grafton insists upon retaining the safeguards and
protective measures written into the Smith
Hughes and George-Deen Acts, and in making d
condition for grants, compliance with labor stand
ards with reference to wages hours, and conditions
of employment fixed by the Committee on Appren
tice Training and other Federal agencies. The

THE FIFTH MAN
(FrOm the Evening Star, Washington,

If present trends continue the total
of traffic deaths this year will be only
80 per cent of the fatalities recorded
in 1887. In other words, where five
lives were lost last year, one should
be saved in 1888. That means that
some 5000 people who would have
been dead in 1887 will be alive when
this year draws to it's close.
The National Safety Council has
issued a warning, however, that mo-
torists must drive more carefully than
ever during November and December
if the traffic death rate is to be held
down for the rest of the year.
For one thing, the records show
that the death rate triples after the
sun goes down. Then there is also add
ed danger of skidding in November
and December, when sleet, rain, snow,
ice and wet leaves on the pavement
add to the hazards of motoring.
The advice of tho safety council is
timely and should be needed by mo-
torists and pedestrians, too. With
just a little extra caution on the part
of all concerned, it should be possible
to keep that fifth man alive.

GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES

fIlE reports, resolutions and discussions of the
Convention emphasized the increasing num-
Der of government employees and their distinctive
problems. Government employees through their
must rely upon legislation and civil
service for protection and the advancement of
their interests. Problems must be studied and un-
form policies agreed upon before legislation can
be drafted which all can support. For this reason
detailed problems and plans of special groups of
workers come before American Federation of La
Dor conventions instead of receiving attention and
within their own organizations.
The key to many standards of employment
classification, promotion, etc, is the Civil Service
Commission. Government employees feel that this
partial administration. The Convention unani-
mously approved this principle and pledged legis-
lative help to government employees in the com
ing session of Congress-.

The Convention recommended that the Execu-

some of our emergency services for youth part
of our permanent education program. Economic
and family misfortunes curtail educational oppor-
tunities for many girl and boy through no fault

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

The return of the American ambas-
sador from Berlin, even though not
formally recalled, is distinct rebuke
to the Nazi government. President
Roosevelt's words on the question, en-
phasize that rebuke. Especially these:
81 myself could scarcely believe that
such things could occur in a twentieth
century civilization"
AS a matter of fact, the mobbing
and robbing and persecution Of the
Jews and the mobbing of Catholic pre-
lates did not occur in twentieth CEN
tury civilization. Macaulay speaks of
the evil deeds of a government (which
has the strength of civilization with
out it's mercy" He never had such
an example as the Nazi government
would furnish him now.
For as a plain statement of fact,
the Nazi government has taken leave
of every attribute of civilization, ex-
cept it's power. Using all the agencies,
both productive and destructive, that
modern science has placed at the dis
posal of man, it is conducting perse-
cutions the like of which have not
been seen in any part of Europe west
Of Poland since the Thirty Years War
ended in 1648.

The Nazi Minister of Economics,
Walter Funk, says that 100000, 900
Of wealth owned by Jews, about one
third of the total wealth owned by
Jews in Germany, has been con-
fiscated. And the 100000 fine
levied on German Jews because of the
shooting of a Nazi official is still to
be collected. Funk summed up his
work in the words:
"The measures thus far taken will
permit complete exclusion of Jews
from the business world"
In addition to the savagery of it.,
Funk's statement confirms the repeat
ed stories that Hitler is having hard
time getting cash.

In spite of all disturbances in the
international field, British trade union
membership has increased more than
100000 in the last year, and now
stands at 1851, 900.
Except for the World War, that is
the highest membership British unions
ever reached.
While union membership grows, the
number of British unions declines.
There are now 1,033 unions in Britain,
40 fewer than five years ago. Twelve
unions have nearly half the total
membership, and 40 have more than
three-quarters of it.
With this fact in mind, the fact
that British workers are getting more
and more angry and disgusted with
the British foreign policy has large
meaning. The last bulletin received
from the Trade Union Congress, with
headquarters in London, contains a
scathing denunciation of the Munich
agreement, and contains the definite
charge that Britain and France, under
Chamberlain's leadership, threatened
military measures against Czecho-
slovakia if she resisted
"Czechoslovakia was like a person
held down by his friend so that his
attackers can rob him BETTER" says
the bulletin.

THIRTY HOUR WEEK
THE HOUSTON CONVENTION again

THE HOUSTON CONVENTION again made The
thirty-hour week primary objective Deer
concern was manifested that in spite of Herculean
efforts and expenditure of vast sums of money
since the depression the number of unemployed
has never dropped below 100000. In the mean
time since 1929 the productivity of those workers
employed has increased "A per cent. On the other
hand, average hours of work for all workers have
been under forty, dropping to 34.3 hours during
the first seven months of 1898.
Labor cannot longer temper its demands for
the thirty-hour week in the face of what seems to
be permanent inability to find work for over seven
millions of wage-earners at existing standards
The Convention therefore urged upon all organi-
cations to renew efforts for the establishment of
the thirty week. We shall seek this end bot,
by voluntary agreement and by legislation. The
United States cannot afford to withhold opportun.
itieS to work from its citizens.

Anthracite coal producers boost
prices. Not much, it is true, but the
boost is sure to be reflected in already
high retail anthracite prices.
That doesn't look like very bright
move.
Hard coal is declining industry.
Oil, soft coal and other fuels have
been hitting anthracite demand for
years.
Anthracite industry has endeavored
to meet the competition by publicity
and advertising urging the merits of
it's product.
But unless the industry has the
ability and the will to compete with
rival fuels on a price basis, the
chances are it will continue to lose
ground.
Anthracite is not the only industry
that hikes prices when demand falls.
Railroad industry has followed this
unwise policy.
Other industries raise prices when
demand increases.
If industry knows what is best
for it, it will take smalled profits
and keep prices down as business
activity gains.
That means larger purchasing pow
er for the consumer and greater con-
sumption.
Price boosts, especially if sharp,
threaten continuance of the present
recovery.
Here is something for organized la
Dor in every community to watch. If
prices soar, labor can do a patriotic
duty by asking, chow Gomez" and
pounding away everlastingly for ade-
quate answer.

gifts bearing the union label would

Maybe Herr Hitler and his gang
have bitten off more than they can
chew, this time.
Their barbarous persecution of the
Jews is serving as nothing else has to
line up world opinion against the
Nazi regime. ....,..,..
This feeling is bound to be reflected
in decreased demand for German prod
ucts.
Strengthening of the boycott won't
help Nazi industry or finance and it
can easily offset all the Nazis take
from the Jews.
Sooner or later every tyrant stubs
his toe.
