Says Board of Education
Cannot Order His
Children Vaccinated.
NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW
Queen Says It's Health Boards
Right and That Body
Passes It On.

Nearly all the members of the Board
of Education were present at last night $
meeting, but little outside of routine busi-
ness was transacted A resident OF Bruns-
wick street sent in communication,
complaining that his son, Edward, nao
been sent home from No. School pc
cause he was not vaccinated, and that
his little daughter, Mabel, who attends
No 1 School, had been notified that un-
less she was vaccinated she would have
to leave the school. The writer said
that he had been a resident of the city
for twenty-five years and had never be-
fore heard of compulsory vaccination
Director Lewis wanted the board to go
into committee of the whole to argue the
matter. He said there were honest dit-
ferenees of opinion on the subject OF COM
puisory vaccination.
Director Ward wanted the subject re-
ferred to the legal light of the board.
1t was decided to lay the matter over
until next meeting.
President Mulvaney says there is "a
State law bearing upon the question, but
that it hardly bears the Interpretation as
compulsory vaccination.
Adele Campbell was transferred as a
teacher from No. 20 to No. q school, and
Annie Bristol from No. 20 to No. school,
both transfers to take effect March z.
Mary MeNally was granted a leave OF ab-
sence with one months pay on account OF
illness. Esther McNeill was also granted
a months leave of absence.
Corporation Attorney John W. queen
when seen this morning at his office said
that he knew of no law that warranted
the expulsion of a public school pupil
under such circumstances as those cited
in the communication received by the
Board of Education last night He had
never given an opinion on the question
and he was unprepared to discuss it He
said that the Board of Health could ex-
Glide scholars if their attendance in the
school rooms caused danger of contagious
diseases.
Inspector Benjamin of the Board OF
Health said this morning that the Health
Board was prepared to vaccinate but
was not in position to act any further
in cases affecting school children. He
said it was a rule of the Board of Edu-
cation.
There is a difference of opinien on the
power of the Board of Education to en-
force such rule.

STRIKERS STILL QUIET.
And Still the Reserves Are
On Duty Protecting"
Barnes's Plant.

Nearly two weeks have passed since the
employees at the Barnes Manufacturing
Company's sash and blind factory on
West Side avenue, went out because the
f1rrn insisted on their working ten hours
for the same pay they had been receiv-
ing for nine hours work. The strike has
been conducted in most orderly manner,
and no trouble of any kind that could be
traced to the locked out men has been re-
ported. Only those assigned to picket
duty have. put in an appearance in the
vicinity of the mill, and yet every day all
different precincts of the city are COM
pelIed 20 do extra~duty there
Officers who would otherwise be secur-
ing the rest to which they are entitled
are compelled, after being out all night,
to go to the mill and patrol the streets in
the neighborhood from six to eight o'clock
in the morning and return there to pro
tect'' the "scabs'' returning from work in
the evening. During the entire day from
dozen to fifteen policemen are compelled
to remain on duty with apparently no
need for their services.

criticism of the action of the police au-
tnorities in furnishing this protection

There was absolutely no change in the
situation of the strike yesterday afternoon
or up to noon today, except that the num-
Der of men who were working in the
places of the locked-out employees had
been reduced one-half. Only six men were
seen to go to work in the mill yesterday
which would seemingly indicate that the
claim of the owners that they could get
all the men they wanted is without foun-
dation.
Business Agent Thomas F. Conroy of
the United Building Trades Council an
nounced this morning that, in conformity
with the orders of the Executive Board
of that body, he would commence at one
