BY OILSOK QARDNKR
FASlHNOTON, May 19. The U.
B. nurcnti of Education, which Is
a branch of tho Interior dopnrtment,
Is mndo up of approximately 200 em
ploycfa. Of tills number 130 appaur
on tlio official roll oh drawing a
nnlnry of t per yoar. Tho Kotirco
from -which thesn men aro paid Is
unknown. It Is known In general,
however, that norno of tnCui get their
Biilurles from tho ltockefellor Oonor
al Education board and so mo from
the Hugo Foundation or other bIiiiI
lnr ondowments of private capital.
Tho roporiH made by tlicse cinployeeH
go out as govornmeut publications
with the full preMlgo of official en
dorHpiuent upon them.
Ileprcsentntlvo Hagsdalo of South
Carolina promised a month ago to
look Into this matter and find offi
cially for tho benefit of congrecs who
jinys tho salnrles of those employees
in tho bureau of educntloti. lie was
rhallrnged to do so by Kdward .1.
Ward, who appeared boforo tho com
jnltteo In favor of a school forum bill
for tlio District of Columbia and
who told Itugsdulo that "he who pnyn
tha piper ealln tliu tune." Ward ban
been anxious to get tho mntter Inves
tigated. Itagsdalo hits not yet mov
ed. 1'iKcon Hand Writes
Another authority for an Investi
gation Into this matter Is Frank I.
Walsh, chairman of tho commltteo
on Industrial relations. Tho lnttcr'B
attention was first called to tho sit
uation in tho bureau of education
by (ho circulation a short tlmo ago
of n pamphlot on "Industrial Kducn
tlon," propnrcd by tho National Ah
noclatlon of Manufacturers, and dis
tributed under government authori
ty by tho bureau of education. In a
letter to V. V, Claxton, commissioner
of education, Mr. Walsh denounces
this pamphlet In unmeasured terms,
calling attention to tho fact that tho
National Association of Manufactur
ers, tho author of tha pamphlet, Is
the namo body 'exposed In tho so-called
Mulhall oxposo, when It appearod
that wholcsalo bribery was used by
ths organization In Influencing elec
tions and attempting to Influenco
legislation. Mr. Walsh wrote to Com
missioner Claxten:
"1 cannot too strongly protest
against tho action of a government
official, appointed and paid to pro
moto tbo education ot tho nation's
youth, In thus giving recognition,
sanction and approval to an organ
isation which has been discredited In
tho minds of alt docont cltUena who
aro familiar with Its record as a cor
rupting agency In publlo life and n
champion of the grossest and most
vhamoful forms of exploitation.
OppoMl Child IjiIk.i- lllll
"At tbo very tlmo when you woro
engaged In spreading the propagan
da of this organization, its official
legislative representatives, tho no
torious J. A. Kmery. was appearing
boforo commit toeij of congress In op
position to tho Keating child labor
Mil, and ho thero Mated that, In at
tempting to block legislation to keep
children under fonrtcon out of south
ern rotton mills, he was acting for
the board of directors of tho associa
tion whoso literature you aro dlstrlb
utlng. "A report on tho Industrial educa
tion of our children, published 1)
uch an organization, would, to those
familiar with Its records, entry as
much wolght and no nvoro than a re
port on tho moral welfare of Ameri
can girls If lwjuod by a notorious
lnnd of procurers.
"Yot. by lending tho government
stamp of approval to this document,
you hnvo placed It In the bands of
thousands of men uud women who
may bo deceived by this misuse of
Kovorumcut authority, and whoso
vloup on tho greatest educational Is
sti ir tho thno may thus be uncou
pclnusly perverted.
Itenort I ficlecled
"Without giving the pamphlet an
intrant's consideration, it yhould
bYit been enouRh for you that It was
ytuhllKknti by the National Assocla
ttftit of Manufacturers, an organiza
tion that has earned tho contempt
of tko American people."
Xr. Walsh charged that Commls
loer Claxton had deliberately bo
leitMt the report of tho N. A. M. for
Attribution, and UQted parages In
which child labor was defended and
ndvocated. At the "'o Utuo, ho
charged CuirimlMloner Clttxlon with
