TRADE UNION SCHOOLS SHOW INTEREST OF LABOR IN EDUCATION --? -i :(By Afsodated Press.) CHICAGO, Not. 30i. Organized labor' Interests in educational facilities of its bwiHustfated by the authorization of a cfommittee by the American Federation of Labor to study the possibilities of a central labor university is evidenced in the formation of "trade union colleges" in a number of the large cities of the country and elsewhere in other educational enterprise, according to Charles B. StUlman, president of the American Federation of ' Teachers. Among the trade union colleges established are those at Boston, Washington, Philadelphia and Seattle, Mr. Stillman said. , New York Cooperates. In Xew York City he said the ladies' garment workers' union had secured the cooperation of the board of education in providing school rooms and "teachers and had supplied a number "of lectures of their own. More recently, he added, various unions there ' have united in developing this educational work on a larger scale. In Chicago the schools committee of the Chicago Federation of Labor and the educational committee of the - Women's Trade Union league arc cooperating with the board of education holding classes once a week at the rooms of the offices of the Women's Trade Union league. The board of education supplies the teachers, with the exception of the public speaking teacher, who is a University of Chicago professor and not on the public school payroll. Besides public speaking, parliamentary law, essentials in English, and short stories constitute the mate rial offered. Need Civic Intelligence. "The increasing interest in the establishment of labor colleges is a very hopeful sign in this reconstruction period," Mr. Stillman said. "There is the most urgent need for trained civic and industrial intelligence. Organized labor ha3 always recognized this, as is shown by its vigorous part in the creation and development of our public school system. "But hundreds of thousands of workers have been prevented by economic reasons from continuing their education as far as they desired. The night school classes of the public schools partially meet the situation for large numbers, but often the special subjects and character of instructed needfd can be provided only by the workers themselves, in cooperation with members of public school, college and university faculties. "Courses in English, literature, public speaking, history (political and industrial), civics and citizenship, labor legislation, history of the labor movement, economics, mathematics, sanitation and social Tiygiene, have proved most in demand. "The movement has already demonstrated not only that labor will extend this educational work under its own aiispices, but that the public schools will broaden their educational tacilities for adults to help meet this growing demand."

At Plalnfield is the Indiana Boys School where 570 youngsters between the ages of ten and seventeen years are detained. A few of these boys are really bad and a few more might with propriety be in a home for mental defectives, but the majority the great majority are just boys. Many of them are handsome boys with clear, clean minds; some have positive genius; and almost all of them are affectionate and appreciative. About nine out of ten of these boys are victims; the victims of stupid courts, careless officials, disrupted homes, faithless parents, and other persons and institutions that have robbed them of proper home training and the right sort of an environment, casting them finally into the boys' school, pretty much as wreckage is cast up by an angry sea. : The school itself is not at all a dreary or forbidding place. On the coatrary, it offers more pleasing surroundings and better care than most of the boys ever experienced before. There are comfortable quarters, plenty of wholesome food, and warm clothing. There are trade schools and graded schools and employment of various kinds to occupy the time of all the youngsters. But in one respect there is a lack which is positively pathetic. The small library of the institution is absolutely inadequate to meet the demands made upon it. Each evening in all the company buildings the boys have two or three hours when they may devote themselves to reading, writing or other quiet diversions. Naturally most of them desire to read and there is not a sufficient amount of reading matter on hand. The library, as before stated, is quite small and a large per cent of the books it does contain, are over the head of the average boy in the school. The consequence is that the suitable books are read and re-read by these entertainment-hungry children, who welcome the rare additions to their shelves with veritable cries of joy. Since the imperative material needs of the institution quite exhaust the legislative appropriation, it is proposed that the good people of Indiana be called upon to supply the literary deficiency. In practically every home in this city, where boys have grown up. there are today boys' books that are never opened and never used fairy stories for children, and tales of adventure, travel, and school life. These books, which now serve no useful purpose, can be made to bring joy and happiness into the lives of hundreds of youngsters that simply yearn for them, and whose none too rosy existence they would bless most abundantly. This paper is going to call upon the people of Richmond to contribute these books to the good cause that best of good causes, the making happy of children. Go through your shelves at once, while the thought is with you, and make your selections, remembering especially those little tadgers of only ten and twelve, and then bring these former treasures of your own more happily circumstanced children who have now grown beyond them, to the public library or to the office of the Palladium. This city alone, by a proper response, can make that little library at the boys' school fairly bulge with the possibilities of pleasure and happiness for those whose lot i3 one which is at best pathetic, and which, despite the creature comforts and the institutional kindness investing it, smacks in a sense of childhood's tragedy.

involving government work and this he clearly understood. Upon my request he paid me subsequently the $600 as follows: February 18, 1918, $300; June 26, 1918, $200; and August 5, 191S, $100. I ha've no knowledge of where this money paid me by Mr. Sands came from. Tells of Loan Mr. Sands also made me a loan of $300 on May 21, 1918 for which I gave him my note. This was repaid by me to him July 14," 1919, with interest, at which time Mr. Sands said he was unable to find my note. However, I have my cancelled check bearing his indorsement. This represents every cent Mr. Sands has paid me since Dec. 31, 1917. Of the $40,000 which Mr. Sands says was paid for procuring contracts, I never heard until it was mentioned in anonymous letters, coupled with threats that unless something was done to stop the proceedings of the department of justice against Mr. Sands, that my name would be brought into it. Upon the receipts of these letters I personally reported the matter to the department of justice, requesting that an investigation be made of my transactions with Mr. Sands. "I feel that it is unnecessary for me to say that I never, by word cr deed, tried in any way to assist the Providence Engineering corporation or any other company to procure a contract. Says Statement False "Regarding the testimony given before the committee by Benjamin F. Fuller, who has been indicted for forging and uttering and sentenced to the penitentiary for four years, in which he states that Mr. Sands gave me a check in his presence; I beg to say that his statement is absolutely and unqualifiedly false. I therefore most urgently request the committee to require Mr. Sands to immediately produce all of his checks made to me since January 1, 1918."

But if this is true, Governor Lowden is the only one of the defeated candidates for the Republican presidential nomination who can be said to have a claim on Harding for aid in getting the nomination. General Wood, as a matter of fact, was conspicuous in holding his delegates to the end. All the Republican leaders agree that after the Harding nomination was made, General Wood went out of his way to give conspicuous support to Harding and to induce his followers to do the same. The net of all this discussion of the political aspects of General Wood's relation to the office of Secretary of war, is that they neither qualify or disqualify him, and are unfair, as much of the cabinet gossip is unfair both to Mr. Harding and the man discussed. Used to Authority. The objections made to General Wood by a few among the Republican leaders consist chiefly of doubts as to his tempermental adaption to the kind of teamwork that is necessary in a cabinet. General Wood's career and all the distinction he has earned have been chiefly in situations where he had sole control and sole responsibility.

SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND,

GREEK MINISTER AND WIFE SAIL SOON FOR EUROPE M. Tsamados, minister, resident and counselor of the Greek legation at Washington, D. C, and his cLarminp wife have just returned to the capital from a trip to Wyoming. They will sail soon for Greece. ious army posts where he achieved his honors. Some wonder is expressed 03 to whether , this kind of one-man experience may possibly have led General Wood to be unadaptable to that kind of friendly co-operation and teamwork and to the taking into account of political and personal considerations which Republican leaders regard as essential to the new cabinet. It is cited as proof for this argument that General Wood is believed to be in a state of feud with some of the higher officers of the army, and the existence of this factional feeling is given as an additional reason why the selection of General Wood might be inadvisable. A cabinet should be a happy family, and the higher officers of the army notoriously do not compose a happy family. Colleges Want Him. The truth is, these very qualities of decision and the habit of authority which make General Wood one of the outstanding personalities of contemporary American life, and cause so many to admire him devotedly, have been a detriment to his success in the field of politics. Incidentally, there is some reason for saying that the trustees of two large universities are considering whether they would enlarge General Wood as a national asset, and take advantage of his capacity for inspiring young men. by making him a university president Much that has been said about Gen a

eral Wood applies also to General Pershing. The traditional objection to putting an officer at the head of the war department applies to him, and also the objection that his appointment would- renew or intensify feuds already existing among high amy officers. Some Republican leaders doubt whether General Pershing would care for the office. Doubt Pershing's Desire. From youth up his experience has been that of an army officer only, with an army officer's personal authority and personal responsibility. Whether he would care to exchange this or would, indeed, be successful in an attempt to exchange this, for the greater give-and- take of a position that -in all circumstances must have some political aspects, may reasonably be doubted. Any army officer, considering General Pershing's situation would say that it would be foolish for him to exchange what he now has for a four years' tenure as secretary of war, and that the thing which General Pershing might be expected most to de:-ire would be the opportunity to continue to be in fact what he is in name, ihe military head of the American army. Next to General Wood and General Pershing, the man most frequently mentioned in connection with the war department is Congressman Julius Kahn of California. The reason lies in the fact that Congressman Kahn is chairman of the house committee on military affairs, and as such has a body of information and experiences which is not. duplicated by probably any other Republican. On geographical grounds it is pointed out that the Pacific coast ought to be recognized and that Mr. Kahn has proved his popularity ther. In the recent election he had both the Republican and Democratic nominations. Nolan Suggested One the same geographical ground?, however, it is pointed out that Congressman Nolan, also of California, is being discussed as a cabinet possibility. The truth is, however, that geographical grounds do not need to have much weight either for or against any man. When a president is backed by an overwhelming majority in as many sections of the country as Senator Harding was, he does not need to consider the geographical distribution of his cabinet. The mention of Senator George Chamberlain of Oregon rests chiefly on the theory that Senator Harding may wish to appoint at least one Democrat in his cabinet. Mr. Chamberlain is the present senior senator from Oregon. He was defeated in the recent election by a bare three or A Woman's Right is to enjoy good health.

four thousand votes, although Harding carried the state by an unprecedented majority. Chamberlain Mentioned Senator Chamberlain had tens of thousands of Republican votes, and his popularity among the Republican voters of Oregon is not less than the friendliness held for him by Republican leaders in Washington. If the theory that Senator Harding may wish to appoint a Democrat has any existence in fact, there probably is no Democrat whose appointment would be more appreciable to so many Republican leaders. The equipment of experience which suggests Senator Chamberlain for the particular office of secretary of war lies in the fact that he was, for the many years of Democratic control in the senate, chairman of the senate committee on military affairs. He was chairman of that committee at the time we entered the war. and the fact that as chairman of the committee he was willing to incur the displeasure of his own party chief by criticizing the conduct of the war by President Wilson and Secretary Baker helped to create the favor in which he i3 held by Republican leaders.
