"A majority of the coal miners of the
Union are now out on n strike. The
wages they have been receiving have
been miserably low and the only method
left them to get fair treatment is by unit
ing in general strike. The greed OF
the average coal operator has reduced
wages to less than living figure and the
miners seem to be faced with two alter
natives-s strike or stnrve. Arbitration is
proposed. This is always fair. A failure
Of the operators to submit to fairly
chosen board of arbitration will subject
them to the Indignation Of II suffering
public. Such situations rs the present
emphasize the demand for law requir-
ing arbitration OF labor disputes. The
business, comfort and safety Of tho pub
lie is always more or less affected by
these conflicts and equitable laws should
be framed for the protection of the
rights Of the directly Interested parties
and the many thousands who suffer ip-
convenience and loss by the cessation of
labor.

Total expense

In answer 10 questions the following
facts were presented by the board:
The bonded Indebtedness is $1,000 Mt
per cent and is being reduced at the
rate Of $1,000 per year. The ennmera-
tion the lust census WINS 513. At the pres
ent rnte OF increase by the time school
opens the district will have enrolled more
pupils than are now in the district. Ten
rooms will be needed by Jan. ]. Nine
teachers have been engaged. The u.s.
sessed valuation of the district is s400. 600
and the law allows bonded indebted
ness Of only 3ls per cent Of the assessed
bonds can be voted by the district. Dur
ing the last year the rooms were badly
crowded. One teacher had 10 scholars
and only "a desks.
d. W. Barkley moved that n school
house OF four rooms and n hall be built
now, and in such n way that four more
rooms can be added later. Clwo rooms
on first floor and two on second floor,
with n hall on one side)
w. r. Gibson amended by providing
that the proposed building should not
cost more than s6,5O0.
After much discussion the motion was
adopted rs amended.
W. N. Randall moved that the new
building be located on the old school
house site in block 81.
G. II. Taylor suggested that the lot
might not he large enough. CThe size is
125x2l2ls feet.)
r. s. Beall objected to the site. The
northwest part Of town was preferable.
Various suggestions were made us to
different sites. but no one present was
authorized to name prices for any of the
blocks suggested. As it was necessary
to definitely name the cite at that meet
ing the only locations available were the
old school house lot and the block on
which the large school building is situ-
ated. The discussion developed great
opposition to erecting any more build
ings rs far from the center OF town as the
present school house.
Mr.. Randalls motion was adopted by
n vote OF " to Is.
The vote on the question Of issuing
s6,5OO in bonds showed 4S votes for
bonds and Q against.

ment in town would divide families OF
