There seems 10 be n feeling existing with
the school committee that a graduate Of tho
high school cannot be teacher at any of the
public schools, even if they ever so pro-
ficent. The same graduates can command
good positiona elsewhere and are very much
liked. heavy taxpayer and n man holding
an important position as town official told
very strange story yesterday. He has two
daughters, both graduates of the high school.
He applied to one of the members Of the
committee to place one or both on tho whit
ing list for position as teacher. He was
told that graduates from the nigh school did
not make good teachers, n statement that is
considered as remarkable.

TROUBLE BREWING.
Indications of Coming Strike OF
BrocktOn Shoe Workers.
Manufacturers Show an inclination to
Reduce Wage Scale.

Brocktou, Mass. July 2.-What is taken
TO be the initial step toward general
reduction in the prices paid for Goodyear
lasting throughout the city, was disclosed
today, when IL became known that on
their return to work after the regular
summer season the lasters at the Il. u.
Snow Company would be compelled TO
work unGer "a reduction which means an
average loss of 20 cents day. The change
will affect about seventy men. The en-
ployes state that tho new price list will
bo accepted under protest with the undei-
standing. it is said, and from assurance
given by the officers OF the Boot and Shoe
Workers Union that the entire shop Will
be struck when 1.-THE proper time comes. -
The action of the firm is said to have
bean taken in view of the recent report
presented by the committee Of the board
OF trade TO tho effect that prices InIi
labor in the Brockton shoe factories are
ger orally higher than tEos paid elsewhere
and that on this account the BrocktUn
shoe manufacturers had often been un-
dorbid by competitors III other places. 1t
is believed, moreover, that there viii To
general movement among manufactures
here To reduce wages when the fall uu l.
ness starts up. The lasters of the fact0,y
contribute To this feeling by assuming
that tho present cut IS unjust dlsUrimI-
nation against tho employees OF that de-
partment rs operatives In other decart-
monts where less skill is den lded
should at least ! III stand cut.
Among the manufacturers, however.
there is n general inclination 10 place
tho blame for the present CONDITION OF
affairs upon tho unions themsev vas be-
Cause it is said years ego tho labor men
promised 60 bring tho Iricos OF outlying
towns up to those paid here and they
have not done so.
