trial of lesser light criminals
Tho Peace Conference ended IN
Paris. 1t ended
German not with the
War Lords unanimity OF
Ewocuted feeling and con-
fdence on the
mart of representatives OF all
countries but clothed with hope
full anticipation.
Unlike the peace conference OF
1919, when we were so certain
that a method had been found to
end wars, the delegates to the
1916 Peace Conference are serv-
ing warning to the peoples OF
the world that the efforts made
bv them are only stepping
stones toward any final solution.
There has been no contention
that perfection was reached.
There remain problems yet UNI
settled. There is disagreement
between our Secretary of State,
Mr.. Byrnes, and Russia's For
eign Minister, Mr.. Molotov.
There is fear on the part of
Britain's Foreign Minister, Mr..
Bevin, that generations yet UNI
born will have to pay for any
mistakes made by present day
diplomats.
And yet the great hope for the
world rests, in part, on the
divergent viewpoints of these
men. Each, we might hope, is
anxious to reconcile differences.
Accomplishments of the Paris
Conference are
Peace far short of the
Conference ideals of honest
Ended seekers of per-
manent peace.
Still the framework for world
peace is established and provis-
ions agreed upon by all nations
to determine future world prob
lens. While many of us have
been made nervous by reports
OF violent disagreements at
Paris We have reason to feel
encouragement because these
dlsagreements developed over
methods rather than detectives.
AS a result of the United
Nations Organization and the
Parls Peace Conference we have
set IN motion a plan which will
keep peace before the people of
the world as an ideal to be
attained through positive action.
In that sense we are much far
Their advanced than in 1919 when
We IN America felt that the first
World War had truly been "the
war to end all wars"
While only a coincidence it is
probable that history will take
notice of the execution of the
Nazi War Criminals on the same
qate as the adjournment of the
rans Peace Conference.

ssLarge corporations holding ex- tensive properties have been quietly working, politically or otherwise. to reduce their tax valuations and thus impose the costs of schools upon the small homes.
 "It is an ironica1 situation that the same anti-1abor groups with which non-union teachers organizations are cooperating closely at the present time in an attempt to stop unionizaion of teachers-have been active in wreck ing the financial foundation of the public schools and thus compelling teachers to leave the profession to earn a living wage"
 In the latter paragraph, the conn mittee referred to the collaboration between the National Association of Manufacturers and, the National Education Association.
 Through this "dea1," the N. A. M. has been able to get an immense amount of anti-1abor propaganda in the schools. The committees report closed with "ca1l to action
 History Repeated
 "Just as the early trade unions fought to establish the public school system," it said, ''so now the great labor movement must fight to save the public schools. |
 "It is time for action on the part Of every affiliated union to support pro- gram of Federal assistance to schools which will keep teachers. in the pro- fession, and eliminate once and for always the constantly recurring crises which face the schools"

Federal Aid To
 Schools Is Urged

One important feature of the A. F. of L. convention i'll Chi cago, which didn't get anywhere near the publicity it deserved, was a sensation report on how greedy interests have crippled the nations schools.
 The labor press has touched on it. Daily newspapers almost totally ignored it.
 A painstaking document, the report was prepared by the conventions committee on education, headed by Presi- dent George M. Harrison of the Railway Clerks.
 ssSerious Crisis''
 Harrison and his associates on the committee charged that the same forces which are trying to destroy organized labor are also at work attempting to wreck the schools and to use them as instru- ments of anti-labor propaganda.
 Right now Americas schools face a "serious crisis" largely because they have been "staved" by elements more interested in profits than in adequate financial support for the education ot this country's children, the committee declared. "A crippled, struggling public school system is contrary to everything for which the A. F. of l.. has stood over the years, the report stressed.
 "Why is it that in the United States the richest nation in the world the work of training the nations chil- dren is constantly hampered by crises which today have mounted to tragic and alarming proportions ?"
 These crises, said the committee, have resulted from the fact that "the enemies of organized labor have also been enemies of the public schools"
 Undermine Support
 ssDuring the last 10 years or ganized business and industrial groups have been assiduously work ing-often with highly skilled, highly paid personnel-to under mine the financial support of the schools for the purpose of reduc- ing local taxes and increasing profits regardless of the result on the lives of children" the union chiefs declared.

Representation Claim

The NLRB holds that a unions no tice of claim to representation must be in the hands of the employer be- fore he renews a contract with bar gaining agent or be in the mail One exception to the new rule is that where union files it's representation petition with the NLRB before the employer signs the contract, the petl- tioning union is protected even though the employer didn't know about the filing when he signed.
