London. The government introduces a 320 million bill to raise compulsory schooling age from 14 to 15 and create a ministry of education. It abolishes elementary and higher schools, establishes primary secondary and further stages, extends technical training, increases penalties for noncompliance, and provides aid for poor children and church schools. An order to raise the age to 16 could follow as soon as 18 months.

Lewis and Green, contrasts their methods with Gompers, and claims divisions hinder democratic labor unity. He cites Philip Murray and the CIO leadership as reasons for representative exclusion from Philadelphia.
