This group constitutes more than 25,000,000 persons, 3,000,000 of whom are negroes, he said. There has been a heavy movement from the underprivileged areas of the South to the metropolises of the North, he said. Many 'of these, he said, are children and youths under age and their etducation in the towns and cities to which they have moved is a vi-j tal problem. I "lit is of no slight Edward said, "that the youth of the nation who are being provided the most geager education opportunities are the ones who, in large numbers will find it necessary to seek occupational opportunity outside the community in which they were born.

"Sound social he said, "requires an extension of educational opportunity for a large part of the rural youth of the nation. "What is needed is a reorientation of rural education to meet the educational needs of both those who live in the towns and cities and of those who will remain in the country.

Individuals as well as organized groups on all levels, as never before, are in need of facilities for broadening their information. "The public is keenly concerned about the affairs of the day, the trend of government, where money goes, how to improve one's capability on the job, what preparation to make for this life and the next." 'Supreme Court proposals of President Roosevelt, the sit-down strikes and the Committee for Industrial Organization are subjects bringing scores of inquiries at New Orleans, McGiveran said.

The Spanish war, costs of living in the mid-south, jobs and prices, soil conservation and rural electrification are other subjects that keep library workers filing calls for books. The function of libraries and workers therein, he said, "is to study the trends and interests in the community and to meet instead of waiting until persons ask for specific books.

Haynes issued a special tion to the friends school to attend the services, stating that special will be available for seating. The program will start at 7:45 p. m. invita- of Wil neater paper the NEW ORLEANS, May participation of organized labor, news that eastern industrialists are watching developments closely, and formal action by many community business groups throughout the state, marked the second week of the movement for equitable adjustment of Louisiana's sulphur severance tax, one of the most widely- endorsed efforts for legislative action the state has known.

Labor entered the fight in the form of a strong-worded resolution sent to Governor Richard W. Leche by the New Orleans Building Trades council, which acknowledges the rectitude of the principle of natural resource taxation but said that the results of the unreasonable increase from 60 cents to $2 per long ton on sulphur last July have shown this tax to be out of proportion, both with regard to the Texas tax on sulphur and Louisiana's tax policy on other indus- trise, with consequent harm to our state's general reputation for fairness to At the same time the Council called upon E. H. Williams of Shreveport, President of the Louisiana State Federation of Labor, urging that he enlist all the forces of organized labor in the State in the effort to bring before Governor Leche the need for including reconsideration of this and any other industrial tax inequities at the expected special session of the legislature. Passage of resolutions by the New Orleans chapter of Associated General Contractors of America, and by the Purchasing Agents Association of New Orleans over the week end added force to the fast-growing flood of formal expressions by business groups seeking early action on making this one needed adjustment in the State's welcome-to-industry program.

The latter pointed out that its members, "who, through their diverse contacts with all types of manufacturing industries, are particularly well acquainted with the consideration which industry gives to the study of expansion and relocation have found that in spite of the far-sighted policy of advertising our state resources and its attitude of demonstrative friendliness to new industry, there still exists a considerable reluctance on the part of manufacturers and developers to make substantial investments in Louisiana because of one striking inconsistency in our tax situation, namely the 233 per cent increase in the sulphur tax lart July, only a few months be- lora adoption ol the tax-exemption law for new industries."

SECOND LEWIS RISES AS ALLY OF C10HEAD Iowa Coal Miner Called Twin Of His Famous Leader DBS MOINES, May 18 (UP) Another black-haired, barrel- chested Welshman is emerging from the Iowa coal mines to assume a place of importance in America's labor picture. He is J. C. (Sandy) Lewis, president of the Iowa FederaUop of Labor, whose striking similarity to John L. Lewis, C.

II O. leader, does not stop at the name. The lowan recently was. appointed by President Roosevelt to the national bituminous coal commission and is expected to take the post in June. Although they are not related, the carreers of the two Lewises run parallel in many respects and their physical appearance is much the same.

John L. Lewis was born in 1880 at Lucas, of Welsh stock. J. C. Lewis was bprn in 1876 in Abertillery, Wales, and five years later came to the United States with his parents.

Both started as youths digging in the bituminous coal fields of Iowa. Soon they displayed qualities of leadership that placed them in commanding positions in the mine unions. John L. Lewis moved eastward after digging coal near Lucas for a few years. Gradually hew orked toward the top in the mine union.

He became president of the United Mine Workers of America. Using that powerful organization as an opening wedge, he formed the C. I. which soon became strong enough to challenge its parent, the American Federation of Labor. Iowa's Lewis remained longer in the mines than did John L.

Lewis. After completing the sixth grade in school, he followed his father into the coal pits at Zenorsville, la. For 26 years he dug coal, all the while becoming more prominent in the local chapter of the United Mine Workers of America. Finally he was elected to the executive board of Iowa district II of the U. M.

W. A. and quit his job in the mines. Soon he became president of the state's mine workers and in Ittl was named head of the Iowa Federation of Labor, the post he has held ever since. The two Lewises became fast and allies.

Like John L. Lewis, the Iowa chieftan is bettla- browed with a mass of thick black hair. He is a large man, but not as bulky as the C. I. O.

chairman. Stern of countenance, he seldom smiles and usually remains silent, although he can make a stirring speech when called upon to do so. When the C. I. O.

split with the A. F. of J. C. Lewis immediately sided with the rebels.

At the A. F. of last national convention he made an impressive plea against the dismissal of craft union heads affiliated with the C. I. O.
