Miss Meehan was chosen to fill'the position, condition- aly on her acceptance: of the place at $780 a year, the sum Miss Keller was recelving. Miss Meehan was no- tified, of the declsion of the board and later communicated with the superintendent saying that she would accept the position.

LEGION AND UNION O SANE GROOND Both and for Same Thing in Rmerica, Speaker Says By The Assoclated Press. St. Paul, Bept, 17.—~The American Federation of Labor and the Ameri- can Leglon are bound in common bond in a fight “to make for Amer- fca one hundred per cent intelll- gence, intellect and an unadulterat- ed affection and love for country,? George 1. Berry, delegate from Ten- nessee, former national vice-com- mander of the American Legion and president of the International Press- men's union, sald in addressing the Legion’s conventlon today. Speaklng for organized labor and its ppesident, Bamuel Gompers, Mr. Berry declared the aspirations of the two institutions, insofar as thelr specific jurisdictions extend, are identical and that “it was good that in the life of this country there has come into existence an organization such as the Legion, interested In leg- islatioy for human development and econorhic falrness.” “The international trades* union that make up the American Federa- tlon of Labor are both economic and legislative in character,” Mr. Berry asserted. “The American Federation of La- bor is American in its every purpose and sentiment, I venture the ob- servation that no organization of men and women would respond in resentment at anything that is in contravention to our American ideals ad pnurposes any quicker than would the American Iederation of Labor. It stands against sovietism and communism; both of which are un-American and founded upon theories destructive to the well be- ing of our citizenship. “The American Federation of La- bor joins with the American Le« gion in that great legislative pro- gram which seeks to eliminate illit- eracy froth America. The Federation and the Leglon could not be consist- ent, with the broad humanitarian program based upon practical ex- periences, to hesitate in their sup- port and allegiance to the proposi- tlon of eradicating illiteracy. Con- sequently, it s good to be able to point to the records of the Legion and the Federation of Labor in their determination to find the cause and to apply the remedy to illiteracy. “They have concluded that there are two principal reasons for its ex- istence in America. First, the ex- ploitation and use of children in the factories, the shops, the mines and the farms—the commercializing of child life. The remedy proposed by these two great American institu- tlons.is identical. Second, as a fur- ther remedy these two institutions have said that immigration has play- ed its part, and I believe that their conclusion is correct. They, as a consequence, have jointly urged upon the government the enactment of an immigration law that will be both practical, just and responsive to the requirements of our nation.” The Federation of Labor has unanimously endorsed the legislative program of the Legion in toto. Mr. Berry said, and in doing so “there was brought to the Legion's cause the greatest single numerical and legislative force within the con- fines of the nation.” “Labor's answer to the ‘Legion, when inquiries and requests for sup- port were sought, has been ‘tell us what you desire and we shall under- take with you and all other forward looking citizens of our country to secure it for you' This answer has been given without pressure. This has come without the necessity of educating labor as to the accuracy and justice of the Leglon's cause. It has come because of the knowledge of two things, First, that the Le- gion has so adjusted itself as to al- ways be right end, second, labor has felt it an obligation to thus act as a manifestation of gratitude to those responsible for the ending of the World's War and the honorable rep- resentations made in that conflict in the interest of our. republie.” INTER CITY SCHEDULE.
