What are Fair Wages for School
Teachers?
Commonwealth Journal
Can good teachers make fair liv-
ing in our Idaho schools? There are
a few districts that pay fair wages,
but we think it is fact that in most
of our rural districts the wages are too
low to draw really good teachers to
them. OF course young man or
woman who is barely able to pass a
second class examination, and who
wishes to earn little money or i'm.
prove their education can afford to
teach at $4,000 per month, but $40 or
$50 a month is not enough for a
thoroughly trained teacher, especially
where they cannot be steadily eur
ployed. We want trustees to think
this subject over carefully. and we
invite correspondence upon this sub
ject from teachers, and others inter-
ested.

HOMESTEAD MEN GIVE up.
After the Bitterest Struggle on
Record Strikers Surrander.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, Nov. 2O-The
great strike at Carnegie's Homestead
Steel Works was declared of TO-DAY
after five months struggle which
Tor bitterness probably was never
equalrd in this country. The army
OF strikers finally decided to-day to
give up the fight. The action was
taken at meeting of the lodges of
the Amalgamated Association at
Homestead this afternoon, the presi-
dent finding l0l in favor Of declaring
the strike of, and 81 against it. The
officials addressed the members and in
plain words told them tbs strike was
lost and advised them to take steps to
better their condition. The remarks
met with considerable opposition but
when vote was taken it showed a
majority OF ten were in favor Of de-
claring the strike off A member of
the Advisory Board said to-day that
he had been trying to get the strike
declared off for some weeks a. he
knew it was lost and it would be
better for the men as great many
would have gotten their old places
back. Those who cannot get back
are in bad fix, as the relief funds
will be stopped and many hundreds
OF them have nothing to live on.
The people in Homestead, especially
business men, are highly elat+d over
the declaration to call the strike off,
for if it had been continued much
longer it would have ruined the town.
Many business houses have fallen into
tho hands of the Sheriff since the
strike has been on. The strike at
one time involved nearly 10000 men,
and the loss in wages will reach. it is
said. in the neighborhood of 81 OO0,>
600. Then there is an immense loss
to the firm which cannot be estimated,
hut which conservative people put at
least at double the amount lost nv
the men in wages. To this can be
added nearly half a million dollars
paid to State troops and the costs of
the county of Allegheny for the riot,
treason and other cases growing GU,
OF the strike. At least thirty five
deaths were directly or indirectly
caused by the strike.
