Labor Only Effective Voice
"The only authorized voices that
could get to the hearts and the minds
of the people of the Pan American
countries and remove their fears and
make it impossible for the agents of
the totalitarian governments to plant
their position seeds, are the voices of
the American Federation of Labor,
the Mexican Federation of Labor and
the Pan American Federation of La
Dor.
"These are the voices of authority,
these are the voices to which the peo-
pie of the Pan American countries
will pay attention"
Morones described his own organi-
zation as the only independent labor
organization in Mexico and declared
it had suffered unbelievable perse-
cution" at the hands of the Mexican
Government because of it's refusal to
accept political domination.

Morones' warning that European
relationships were stirring up i'll feel

prophetic, coming within six hours OF
the rioting before the United States
Embassy in Mexico City.

"For this individual you have a
right and duty to claim not only the
means of a bare existence but also of
the enjoyment Of health, security and
happiness over the entire period of
his life. For him must also be vindi-
Gated certain definite rights that arise
from the fact that he is essentially a
social being with natural tendencies
towards association with others, in
volving in particular the establish
ment of family and home. This in
wolves on his part responsibilities for
the support, the education, the prepa-
ration for life and a proper participa-
ton in the enjoyments of life for
those who depend upon him in So
cial atmosphere. To meet these social
responsibilities he must be given ade-
quate opportunity and aid. In this
connection it is well to note that birth
control and other social evils are in
no small measure traceable to fail
ure on the part of human society to
grasp or recognize the full implica-

"Your Federation of Labor has also
a very important mission in the field
of social welfare. Working men and
working women are integral parts OF
community life whether it exist in the
scattered rural populations of the
countryside, or in the more concen-

the city, or whether we view it from
the larger angle Of the state and ma

"In every community, large anc

physical structure in keeping with the
progress of civilization. Indeed thu
building up of such structure is {
part but not the whole Of the progress
that civilization achieves There is {
still greater need of building up il
every community a definite mora
structure based upon self-respect, de

the elements Of mutual security ant
peace. In every community there
must also be created facilities for {

A. F. of l.. for time, we were not
happy from the very first moment
when we disassociated ourselves from
the American Federation of Labor,
and we were not at all happy dur
ing the entire time we were out, be-
cause we realized from the very be-
ginning that there was no justifca-
ton for division in the labor move
ment, although we desired more
progressive and militant attitude to-
ward organized and unorganized men
and women and toward the method
of organization, as well.

sidered it afse way and not an
easy way, ana +, hope others will
regard it in the same spirit.
"There is one remark that John
l.. Lewis made on the floor of the

statement he has yet made. He said
that the C. /. 0. is too weak today
in order to effect peace. There was
a time when the G.. |. o. was stronger
than it is today. When they were
stronger spiritually, morally and or
ganizationally, peace was blocked be-
cause peace was not desired, and |
believe that even today, when the C.

be made toward uniting the labor
movement.
"Just as the gambler who, when he
wins at the start continues to gamble
and does not stop even when he is

and the membership of our union,
wish to express our JOY and our great
satisfaction that ultimately, though
it took us a little longer, we have re-
joined the American Federation of
Labor, where we belong and where
we want to be. And should we have
any disagrcements in the future we
will not hesitate to give expression to

Taking the Temperature of Lard

taxing the temperature OF Lara
Cooks who measure quantities with
a cooked head and squnt used to
tell when the fat for dcep-fat frying
was hot enough by watching for it
to smoke. Today home economists
urge housewives to avoid hit-andmiSs
methods and to use a thermometer.
When the fat temperature reaches
$50 to 800 its time to fry. For lack
Of a thermometer there is another
method-that is to drop cube of
crustlesS bread into the hot fat. If
it takes more than a minute to brown,
the temperature is less than $50 de-
grees; if it browns in minute the
heat is somewhat between $50 to 800
degrees, and if it browns in 40 sec
onds the temperature is soaring up
around $40 degrees.
Use straight-sided deep kettle for
deep-fat frying.
Never fill the kettle more than two
thirds full, and under no circum-
stances should the fat be heated until
it smokes. There is no danger from
spIattoring if foods arc wiped dry
before they are dropped in the hot
fat.

By A. B. PHILLIPS Superintendent, Juneau Schools

A city that takes no pride in It's schools usually takes no pride III anything. Juneau does, and always has. The citizens have watched the schools grow from small, one room, one-teacher school to the present system consisting of two large buildings and 33 teachers. Not only have the people Of Juneau watched the schools grow but they have demanded always that they be kept modern and up-to-date.
 The Juneau schools are divided into two buildings one for the first eight grades called the Grade School building and the other for the next four grade ninth to twelfth inclusive, known as the High School building.
 The Grade School consists of two kindergarters, each operating half a day, two first grades, three sec ond grades, two third grades, two fourth. two fifth, two sixth, two seventh and two eighth grades. Be- sides teaching regular subject mat ter as is usually taught in the var ious grades, the seventh and eighth grades also have sewing and cook ing for the girls and manual train ing for the boys. One teacher de- votes her entire time to teaching art and vocal music in all grades.

Midwest Sends Us
 Teachers
Five Members of Juneau Faculty Have Taught
 Here Ten Years

The teachers of the Juneau Schools come from all sections of the United States, particularly from the Middle West States.
 There is no particular reason for this except, perhaps, that coming here from Seattle is not great thrill, whereas teachers coming from the Middle West often ride a steamer for the first time when they come to Juneau. Not used to tide flats, canneries, boats and mountains, these teachers find in Alaska an appeal lacking to Pacific Coast teachers.
