LABOR STIRRED BY EDITORIAL ON DIXIE WAR Scripps-Howard Criticism Is Debated Hotly by Federation. P'l Bcrlppg.Howard Sewnpoprr Alliance TORONTO, Ontario, Oct 15.—The American Federation of Labor contrition here today was to consider appeals from southern textile trikers, following disussion Monday of a Scripps-Howard editorial criticising the organzation for failure to defend more aggressively labor's rights in the south and elsewhere. After President Green and several delegates had attacked the editorial as unfair and untrue, other delegates defended the record of the Scripps-Howard newspapers as friends of labor. A resolution censuring the editorial finally was withdrawn at the request of Green, who explained that he would take advantage of an invitation to reply through the Scripps-Howard newspapers to the editorial. The editorial, which had been; read to the convention, stated as facts that the A. F. of L. had failed; appreciably to increase its member- j ship, which now is less than 3,000.000 ! compared with 5.000,000 in 1920; j ♦ hat it had failed in the southern j textile situation; that it had been unable to stop the growth of the injunction evil and protect labor’s constitutional rights; that basic industries remained unorganized. While placing joint responsibility for conditions on the government and industry, the editorial stated that it was the specific Job of the A. F. of L. to protect the interests of labor. Delegates today were prepared to submit appeals for A. F. of L. aid from the textile strikers in Marion N. C.. where six strikers were killed recently A plea from the Marion local union of the A. F. of L. said; "We need salt pork, flour, clothes and protection for evicted families. Also need competent lawyers to give us all possible protection.” 44-Hour Week Urged R v f nitud Prrn* TORONTO, Ont., Oct. 15.—A shorter Saturday with a forty-four-hour week in United States govern*’ ment departments, including the postoffice, has been indorsed unanimously in a report of the legisla-

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

EDUCATION BY USE OF TALKIE IS AIM OF FOX Film Producer Proposes to Shorten Schooling of Children. ; Bu United Presi NEW YORK, Oct. 15.—William Fox, motion picture producer, will devote the next twenty-five year* of his life to giving American children "more time in the sunshine." j He proposes to accomplish that by spending one-fourth of his gigantic fortune to introducing talking pictures as a means of education. Fox, on his fiftieth birthday Sunday, expressed the opinion that the “talkies” could teach children in three hours what now requires six hours to learn. He also believes it would permit the most expert educators to address the entire audience of American school children. "For instance,” Fox said, “if Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia university took geography for his subject, it w r ould be posible for every child to learn the same subject from the same man at the same time." He also proposed to use the talkies to aid religion by having the world’s most prominent religious leaders record sermons for use all over the country. One feature of the educational program would be the photographing and sound recording of famous surgeons during an operation so medical students might study their methods.
