FREY TO DELIVER NEXT OF WERTHEIM LECTURES

American Federation of Labor Officer Will Speak Next Wednesday--Has Had Trade Union Career

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

John P. Frey, secretary-treasurer of the Metal Trades Department of the American Federation of Labor will deliver the next of the series of Wertheim Lectures, speaking on the subject of "The Development of Industrial Relations through Mutual Consent." The lecture will be given in Emerson D at 7.45 o'clock next Wednesday evening.

Mr. Frey was secretary of the first labor mission sent to allied countries in 1918 and he accompanied Samuel Gompers as a member of the second mission. Last year he was appointed by President Coolidge as labor advisor to the American delegates attending the International Economic Conference in Geneva.

For 30 years he has devoted himself entirely to the work of a trade union official, assisting in the development of industrial relations and education upon the subject. His career in connection with trade unions began in Wercester, where by 1893 he had rapidly risen to the presidency of the molders union shortly after the beginning of his affiliation with the organization. In 1896 he was one of the vice-presidents of the Massachusetts State Federation of Labor and for 24 years he occupied the position of editor of the International Molders Journal.
