FIRST WEEK OF FOURTEENTH MITTEE HAS PLAN TO INSURE 8ESSION DEVOTED TO PREPPEACE. , PERMANENT ARATION FOR FUTURE WORK. HOUSE DELEGATES AT NATIONAL CON. VENTION DISCUSS PLAftS FOR YEARS WORK. SUCH IS CHARGE MADE BY PRESIDENT OF UNITED STATES CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. Will Endeavor to Secure the Protection of a Tariff and Will Investigate Measures of Marketing and Manufacturing. Says 8hort Sighted Policy in Failing to Recognize Dignity of Teaching Profeeaion Has Led to Clase Coneoiouenees in Profeesion. Would Authorize President to Invite All Nations to Send Delegates Salt Lake City. At the opening .session of the annnal convention of the National Woolgrowers association, on January 17, it was made clear that the woolgrowers will push their efforts to .secure the protection of a tariff; they will investigate closely and adopt measures of marketing; they will avail themselves of the benefits to be derived from the licensed and bonded warehousing act, and they will wear clothes made from pure virgin wool grown in the United States. President Frank J. Hagenbarth of the association sounded the keynote of the convention as one of business, one in which the sheepmen are to confer on their urgent economic .problems and to take measures to deal with them. Upward of 500 sheepmen, and some women, too, came from all the western .states and many eastern points to attend the convention. And - they brought with them, if not their fighting clothes, at least a fighting frame of mind; for thpre was no denying the feeling present tfniQng those about the convention hall that they are going to get out and take most active measures for the preservation and better- ment of their industry. The report of the success which has attended the efforts of Montana growers to find a market for their - product, through the manufacture of their virgin wool into cloth for clothing, into blankets and other commercial products, was welcomed with a roar of approval. President Hagenbarth was greeted with prolonged applause when he char--x acterized this work of the Montana mS aa.p3Ylair- - tfteWay to wSkt may lead to the greatest wool mill in the country, and serving at least notice to the middleman that the .producers are awake to their methods. Governor Charles R. Mabey welcomed the sheepmen on behalf of the state and was introduced by President e Hagenbarth as a sheepherder who knows the problems of the industry. Governor Mabey expressed his sympathy with the difficulties the woolmen have encountered in recent months and pledged himself and the state to their support. Washington. Conditions in the public schools are contributing much to unrest throughout the 'country, and the situation has become so serious that the states and the nation should to remedy them, according to a statement issued by Joseph H. Defrees, president of the United States Chamber of Commerce. Our policy in failing to recognize the dignity of the teaching profession has led to a class consciousness in that profession which has made itself felt in the classroom and left its indelible imprint upon the impressionable minds of the ygung, declared Mr. Defrees, who adds that of the 500,000 public school teachers in the United States: One hundred thousand are under the age of 21 ; Thirty thousand have no education beyond the eighth grade; One hundred and fifty thousand have no education beyond the - third-yea- r high school; and Four hundred and eighty thousand, s or of the total, have not had two years of special training, the minimum required In other countries. One reason why radicalism has not made the same headway in the United States that it has. In Europe, Mr. Defrees continues, is the fact that hundreds of men occupying positions of the greatest importance in this country began life as poor boys. But what have we got to say of the inequalities of education? Eighteen thousand classrooms in this country are said to have stood idle last year through lack of teachers. puTaking an average of twenty-fiv- e pils to each, classroom, Jthat; means 450,006 cftfldnti were'fetther denied education altogether, or were crowded into their classrooms, where they were given such education as they could get from an overworked, underpaid, undertrained teacher. - Washington. Steps looking toward disarmament were taken on January 15 by the house foreign affairs com' mittee, which reported a resolution authorizing President Wilson to invite all nations to send delegates to an international, conference to consider ways and means. Although all members of the committee voted for the proposal, Democrats objected to its adoption now, on the ground that it might embarrass the president. They contended it was a question which should be considered by President-elec- t Harding. Chairman Porter, an advocate of the movement, insisted, however, that it was the desire to have the resolution ready for Mr. Harding if Mr. Wilson did not act on it. Representative Brooks (Rep.) of Illinois, author of the resolution, announced that efforts would be made to expedite its consideration by the house. There was no Indication of any movement to get together with the senate, which has pending a resolution by Senator Borah (Rep.) of Idaho, providing for armament reduction by the United States, Great Britain and Japan, and a resolution by Senator Walsh (Dem.) of Montana, authorizing the president to appoint a member of the disarmament commission of f the league of nations. -- per-fiaps one-tim- CONGRESS 8ETS ARMY LIMIT.
