SCHOOL TEACHERS
TALK OF STRIKE.
Form Teachers Union In Wetzel
Count, While University Instructors
ResIgn-Say Salaries are too low.


Resign-say Salaries are too low.
A school teachers union is to be
formed by the pedagogues of Wetzel
county at a meeting to be held at
Pine Grove, August 80. The object
Is TO get higher wages, and there Is
talk Of strike unless their demands
are complied with. The salaries are
fixed by the sub-district trustees, aud
are said to average about $50 month
which the teachers consider very ina
dequate owing to the increased cost OF
living in recent years.
Half dozen members of the facul-
ty at the State University resigned In
June because of low salaries. The
teachers Of Harrison county have ap-
pointed one of their number, A. B.
Newton to appear before the State
Legislature next winter and ask for
desired concessions, and throughout
the length and breadth OF West Vir-
GINA there is general complaint
against poor salaries for teachers,
which In many cases amount to
mere pittance, as 10 several counties
school Is taught only five or six
months year.
The Wetzel county fraternity takes
the lead 10 following the trades
union movement. The schools are
due to resume next month and unless
the salary list is adjusted SATISFACTORY
ly there are some lively embarrass-
ments in sight. The preliminary union
meeting at New Martinsyille had ufor
its Secretary Frank Bonner, who has
appointed the following committeeto
draft constitution and bylaws: T.
j. Wood, Hugh Harmer, Frank Bon
ner, Charles Johnson, L. E. Sands, l..
o. Work and Marion Moore. Seven
ty-four have already joined the union,
SO men and five women.

SMITH CLUBBED
Varsity Man 4 ssaulted by Pc
liceman in Charleston.
Version of the Affair From the Gazette
The Paper Says that the Clubbing
was Unwarrauted- How the Matter
Occurred smith not Badly Hurt.

The following is taken from the
Charleston Gazette. 1t concerns
Smith an old Varsity man aud will
be read with interest by his friends
here. He is playing with Clarks-
burg this summer
A most exciting and interesting
game of base ball at the park yes
terday was followed by fight that
was most deplorable and the club
bing of one of the Clarksburg play
ers by Charleston policeman. that
was disgraceful to the force and
should be punished by summary
dismissal.
The Charleston team was at the
bat in the ninth inning with the
score at seven to eight in favor of
Clarksbnrg. Murphy was on first,
McGraw was at the bat, and nobody
out. McGraw struck ball down
the right foul line that the umpire
decided was fair, and before it could
be fielded in, both Murphy and Nc
Graw had crossed the plate The
Clarksburg players kicked on the de
cision, and before the audience knew
was going on or how it happened,
Smith, the third baseman of the
Clarksb urg team. and Topping, the
umpire, were engaged in a fight.
After several blows were struck on
each side without damage. Smith
struck out and Topping fell. From
the grand stand it looked as though
the blow fell short, or landed very
lightly, and that Topping caught
his foot aud tripped.
Instantly the audience swarmed on
the field, all carrying base ball bats
who could get them, and riot SEEM
ed immined, except that the visit
ing crowd appeared to be too much
in the minority to make much trou-
BILE
Several police maces were fiourished
il the air and finally one struck on
Smiths head With sound like hitting
new hall with "a heaFt-of-oak bat.
After a good deal of pulling and
hauling and threatening and denounc-
ing Smith was taken from the field,
and the crowd gradually dispersed.
Smith was taken to the hospital,
and his hurt which proved to be mere
ly scalp wound, was dressed.
Later he appeared on the street
seeming not much the worse for the
wear. When seen by a Gazette man
he said he had approached Topping
and asked him what he called the ball
and Topping said "fair.n "Why din
MT you run down 10 the line SO you
could see?' he asked THAT was a
foul ball.
"You are liar" said Topping, at
the same time striking at Smith.
'.Thenn said Smith, 81 hit him and
somebody hit me, and that's all there
was to it,
Mr.. Topping told story that diff
ferS from Smiths version as above
stated. lie says Smith came running
to where he stood and without ado
applied very opprobrious epithet to
him, coupled with an oath, and &C
companied it with blow.
