CONGRESSCALLOUS
Unemployment Grows, Yet
Lawmakers Kill Bill to
Remedy Situation
New York. Unemployment grows
and congress indicates its callous in
difference by defeating the Kenyon
unemployment bill, says Max D. Dan
ish, managing editor of Justice, of
ficial magazine of the International
Ladies' Garment Workers' Union.
"In one church unemployment bu
reau in New York city 7,500 ex-ser
vice men registered since last Sep
tember, are still out of work, and
the effort to reindustrialize the former
soldiers is not making any progress,'
says the labor editor.
"And in the light of these stag
gering facts comes the announcement
from Washington that the Kenyon
unemployment bill has been killed in
the senate, after an amendment had
been adopted which practically de
stroyed the measure. It will be re
membered that the provisions of the
Kenyon bill were drafted from recom
mendations of the much-heralded
Harding conference on unemployment.
These provisions were designed to
make possible long-range planning of
all public works. The amendment
which emasculated it exempted from
the bill all river and harbor develop
ments, flood and expenditures on irri
gation projects, after which it was
sent back to the committee on labor
to die a peaceful death.
"We never expected much from the
unemployment conference. Neverthe
less, even skeptics had thought that
the Kenyon bill, which intended to re
lease considerable funds for the con
struction of public works in slack
times, would be adopted in an effort
to afford some relief to the millions
of destitute unemployed. The heart
less slaughter of the Kenyon bill is
but an additional index of the utter
callousness of and brutal indifference
which the present congress has main
tained right along towards the idle
working masses of the country."

Schools Must Meet Changed
Conditions
Washington.—"Changed social and
industrial conditions demand changes
in the schools," says the United
States bureau of education in a sur
vey of Elizabeth City, N. C., schools.
'*Fifty years ago the environment
of the average boy and girl furnished
an education in whole some activities
that developed intelligence, initiative
and industrious habits. But during
the past half century has come the
growth of the modern city, until now
half the population of the country is
concentrated in cities, and the city
with its overcrowding, its mills and
factories, and office buildings, which
gradually grow up on the vacant lots,
is depriving children of the opportun
ity for the healthy, wholesome work
and play which are essential elements
in their education.
"The city home, whether in a large
or small city, is very unlike the farm
with its many necessities for 'learn
ing by doing.' It offers great educa
tional opportunities in the way of
healthful work which develops the
ability to think by attacking problems
to be solved. There is no planting
or harvesting to be done few if any
animals to be taken care of, and it is
a rare city home that has a workshop
or laboratory. Yet, children until re
cently have received much of their
education through the opportunity to
handle tools, to take care of animals
and to experiment in making and us
ing things. But the city not only
fails to educate children in the right
direction it educates them in the
wrong direction, for the street, with
its dangers to the physical and moral
life of the children too often becomes
their only playground. And street
plays mean education not in health
and strength and wholesome living
but precocious education in all the
vicious side of a city's life.
"For these reasons, it has come to
be recognized that the city school
must not only supply the opportunity
for study in good class rooms under
wholesome conditions, but it must also
return to the children the opportunity
for the helpful work and play which
the home can no longer supply."
TEXTILE_BARONS
Practically Own Rhode Is
land Through State
Senate Control
Providence, R. I.—The present strike
of textile workers is both a protest
against wage reductions and the feu
dalism of mill owners in this state.
Rhode Island is owned by the tex
tile interests through their control of
the state senate. This body is com
posed of one senator from every city
and town without regard to popula
tion. The senate can be controlled
by 20 members who represent less
than 8 per cent of the population. The
senate can elect substitutes in place
of the governor's nominees for certain
stat offices. If the senate does not
like the governor's nomination for
state commissioner of labor it can
elect one. The same is true eff factory
inspector, and of every other law and
administrator of law that has the re
motest bearing on the textile indus
try.
The state labor board is appointed
through the grace of the senate. This
board appoints the board of mediation
and conciliation. One writer in a New
York newspaper recently summed up
the textile strike thusly:
"The Rhode Island textile industry
has no money to pay its workers a
standard wage, but it has money to
buy the elections in 20 or more Rhode
Island towns and to maintain a costly
political machine which corrupts the
voters in the small representative dis
tricts into which the cities are divided
The whole spirit of the governing class
in Rhode Island is the spirit of autoc
racy and it manifests itself in an
emphatic manner in the textile strike
and in a multitude of instances incon
spicuous in themselves."
MEDDLERS BUSY
Throughout Great Britain
In Attempt to Reform
Labor Unions
Manchester, England.—The "trade
union reform association" is the lat
est attempt of busybodies to regulate
the British trade union movement
The "association" admits any one, be
he employer, mollycoddling philanthro
pist, crank or political wire puller.
"If it were not for certain injurious
results which may accrue, the loving
solicitude of these meddling outsiders
would be amusing," says the Cotton
Factory Times.
"One gang is ever telling us that
we are the mere tools of the bloated
capitalist and the scheming politician
the other gang say we are marching
headlong to anarchy and destruction.
Under the guise of soldiers and sail
ors' organizations, empire leagues,
comrades of the war, etc., the work
ers are being primed and poisoned
against even a sane labor movement
and the communists and ex-pro-Ger
mans are doing their best to demoral
ize the unemployed. The unemployed
committees, in many cases, are now
mere puppets in the hands of adven
turers ever on the lookout for turmoil
and discontent, with possibly a few
well-paid jobs with little work as an
outcome.
"As a result of this many unem
ployed committees have alienated the
practical support of trades councils
and other bona-fide bodies of organ
ized labor. There can only be one
course in such circumstances. Our
trade unionists are still the over
whelming force in the labor world,
despite a lot of loud-mouthed rene
gades' and outsiders' pretensions. If
our officials and members will reso
lutely set their faces against these
people we may go forward to the com
ing fight with some confidence. But
if labor is to be the shuttlecock of all
the paid agitators, job-teekers, politi
cal! jerry-manderers, and unscrupu-
lous party leaders, then it is a poor
lookout at the next election."
WOULD DILUTE
UNIONS
Manchester, England.—The central
bodies of several English cities and
towns are at sixes and sevens because
of the attempt to alter their consti
tution and admit members of the labor
party and others who may or may not
be trade unionists. In Rochdale the
feeling has reached a high point.
Trade unionists resent the flippant
declarations of alleged intellectuals
that the central bodies "need ginger
ing up," and that they "have outlived
their usefulness."
"Organized labor," says the Cotton
Factory Times, "still has its duties,
and the trades councils, pure and sim
ple, are still necessary, as distinct
from a labor party of varied elements.
"Fire-eating, self-constituted 'lead
ers' of the labor movement keep crop
ping up here and there with their su
periority and sneers at the bona fide
representatives in and out of parlia
ment.
"As the trade councils are present
constituted they can keep the bogus
labor men outside with the proposed
amalgamation any man who can get
a card of membership of the so-called
'labor' societies may come in and help
to rule or ruin our union policies."

LESS COAL ACCIDENTS
Washington.—Idleness in the coal
industry is reflexed in the decreased
number of accidents, which resulted
in a smaller loss of life last year than
in any year since 1903, according to
the federal bureau of mines.
Information from all state mine
inspectors shows a total of 1,973 men
killed as compared with 2,271 in the
preceding year, a reduction of 298
fatalities, or more than 13 per cent.
