It is published for working people— men and women. There are some 300 publications of similar character in this country. About half of these are published monthly about half are published weekly. Publishing labor papers is not an easy job. There is a long history of hard work, failure and gradual success back of today's labor papers. Early labor papers were struggling infants, mostly small, mostly edited by men who were carrying a banner into far countries. There has just been held in Los An geles a convention of labor editors representing a circulation of more than 3,000,00t), which would be star tling news to the men who first edited labor papers in the United States. If those same men could know that the total circulation of. all labor papers is perhaps twice 3,000,000 their grati fication would be beyond bonds. There are labor publications today that have as many as 100,000 cir culation and doubtless some run well beyond that figure. There are several weekly labor papers having individual circulation of 20,000 and 25,000. It is time that the country woke up to the fact that the labor press is a big factor in the business of carrying news to the American people. The recent convention of labor edi tors brought out more clearly than ever before the importance of the la bor pre^, its strength, its dignity, its pride in its job and the thoroughness with which it goes about its job. It isn't a little business any more, this business of editing and publish ing labor papers. The labor press rates with the big gest of the vast enterprises now con ducted by labor and it is time to rec ord the fact and emphasize it again and again. The labor press today r~ "Save the the work of good writers. The labor press, not blowing our own horn too loudly, of course, is well edited. It knows its field and it tills the soil of that field with diligence, intelligence and persistence. Labor has its banks, its insurance business, -its educational enterprises, its research work, its publicity men— and its powerful press. It is worth noting that the press succors, sup ports and promotes every other labor enterprise. If some of these other enterprises now and then get a bit haughty about the labor press, let it be remembered that thiB is perhaps natural. The la bor press has been too slow about taking its owh proper rank in the parade.

SLACKNESS NOT EDU CATION Chapel Hill, N. C.—"Slick super ficiality, a shiny veneering which thinly covers a vast amount of ig norance," is passing for education, said Dr. Frederick M. Haines, distin guished physician, at the University of North Carolina. "Our graduates know too much about everything and far too littlev about some one thing," said Dr. Haines. STATE POLITICIANS ASSIST COAL OWNERS Loti Angeles.—Pennsylvania politi cians were scored by President Green of the A. F. of L. convention for the promiscous issuance of police powers to gunmen who are paid by coal cor porations. "I can not understand how such a condition can prevail in free Ameri ca," said Mr. Green. "We can remedy this condition in that boss-ridden state by serving notice on the political pow ers of Pennsylvania that we can mo bilize the political strength of our people and drive from power those who have debauched their offices."
