Determined efforts will be made the Los Angeles convention of American Federation of Labor scrap the Wor ucation Bureau. Ultra-conser within the Federation that the Bureau must walk the nd. they believe they can swing a majority of votes on the issue. The convention opens the first week in October. In an effort to save the bureau, progressives are ng with those forces in the A. F. of L. which feel 13.— at the that research and wider knowledge | of industry will help unions to’ main- | tain their strength. They will be helped by certain Federation leaders who, although they have never rel-| ished cooperation with the bureau, consented to have it taken under the A. F. of L. wing rather than to allow it to pass into the unchallenged con- trol of the radicals. Organized in 1921. ~safhe bureau was started in’ 1921 as an independent organization’ for the furtherance of the workers’ education movement which sprang up during and after the war. New York pro- gressives and radicals, affiliated with various labor parties and _ needle trades unions, were influential in its councils. In 1923 the Portland con- vention of the A. F. of L. ratified an agreement with the bureau by which it passed under official trade union control. Dual and secéding unions were denied representation and many well know labor educators were in- formed that their activ within the bureau would be curtailed or endec Present opposition rises from the obseurantist and anti-intellectual for. ces within the Federation, aided by those who believe the bureau is still critical of many of the practises and theories followed by some of the ia- ternational unions. A long-standing tradition within the . of L. against “outside intellectuals,” who hitherto had been kept out of the trade union movement, was strengthened when the intellectuals were thought to be slipping in through the Workers Education B 1. Another group have scrutinized jeal- ously every scrap of paper leaving the bureau’s office, expecting criticism or antagonism toward trade union of- ficials or practises. Efforts to persuade the trade unions to stud their industries, to institute clas: and to stimulate the desire of craft knowledge among their members have been greeted with cordial response in many bodies, with apathy in others while some have looked askance at ony interference with well established Points of view and customs Personal consideratio: are also known to enter. The fact that James H. Maurer, who organized the bureau in 1921 and has since served as its|_ president, is now heading a trade union delegation to the Soviet Union, has left a bad taste in the mouths of many leaders and a minimum demand that Maurer step out immediately, if ‘the bureau is to be maintained. Progressives intend to put up a strong battle, and in coalition with moderate forces, hope to squelch the ultra-conservative designs. They will point to the bureau’s considera achievements in the field of work education. Seventy per cent total membership of the A. F. of now enrolled on a per capita in the bureau. Last year the t estimated that it had reached 3 workers in 300 centers. The bureau, basis it is felt, is on the threshold of in- tensive development. Scott Case Again.

Fought Non-Partisan League. Opposition to. the Nonpa League and the Industrial Workers of the World, in regions where those organizations are prominent, was carried on by American Legion members. It will be recalled that the first conference of the committee of 48 in St. Louis was almost prevented because Legion res heard that the nonpartisan league was to partici- pate. A resolution of protest was adopted by a committee represent- ing all the Kansas City posts, and according to a dispatch from the St. Louis to the New York Times: “Five men, each wearing the button of the American Legion, called about noon at the investi- gating bureau of the Department : of Justice, in the Federal Build- ing. They said they had notified the management of the hotels that the Legion would prevent the holding of the convention if the government should fail to act in the matter.” When more was learned of the character of the committee of 48 (which contained many former Roosevelt progressives) the opposi- tion of the Legion was withdrawn, but the original attempt to intimi- date the hotels and dictate to agents of the Federal Government remains. Active In Kansas. On May 28, 1920, T. B. Kelley, as chairmen of the “Vigilance Com- mittee” of Argonne Post, No. 180, Grand Bend, Kansas, wrote to George Klein, an organizer of the Nonpartisan League: “This is to inform you that at a meeting of our post here last night, at which seventy-five mem- bers were in attendance, besides several members of the G.A.R., Spanish Ameriéan Chamber of Commerce, a decision was unani- mously reached that the Non- partisan League demonstration would not be tolerated at Elin- wood next Tuesday. We do not desire any violence, and so take this means of informing you of what we intend to do. “A delegation from here, con- sisting of the above and many more, and all Legion, and other good loyal citizens from St. John, Strafford, Macksville, Hoising- ton, Claflin and Larned will be on hand, as advertised, or in any other way. “Tf you will inform us that the meeting has been called off, it will prevent the need of our making a trip to your town.” The Nonpartisan League did not press the issue at the time, but in January of this year it resumed its attempt to organize in that part of Kansas. The Salina County post of the Legion objected at once and was supported by the State exec- utive committee. F. W. Galbraith, then national commander, properly ordered the Kansas Legion to eall off its talks, reminding the mem- bers that their organization was supposedly non-political.
