MIGRANT WORKERS GET LEAGUE BOOST AS AIDS TO PEACE (By Associated Press) GENEVA, Sept. 20.—Borrow- ing an idea from the international exchange of college professors, a conference convoked by the labor bureau of the League of Nations has gone on record as advocating a similar plan for young workers. It was argued that this system would lead to more good-will among nations because it would reach the masses, The discussion emphasized the importance of bilateral agree- ments, of which much has been said in Latin America, in regard to .the recruiting and placing of migrant workers. It asked the labor bureau to prepare periodically a survey of the regulations in various coun- tries governing the admission of foreign workers to the benefits of labor legislation and particularly of social insurance. Representatives of 31 countries took part in the deliberations. William H. Stead, an American, executive secretary of the Tri- City Employment Stabilization committee, was one of the vice- presidents, Subscribe for The Citizen—20c a week. velop the habit of study which will spell success—in studies and character culture.” Father Dougherty will meet pupils, teachers and parents and advise the best methods of pro- cedure with each one. “The teachers expect full cooperation from the parents and pupils for the best benefits of their sons in the school work which is a prepara- tion for their life’s work,” he says. “No normal child should fail in school.
