The Grand Jury Report.

To the Hon. Circuit Court of Crawford
County, November term, 1908:
We, the Grand Jury, have examined
l43 witnesses and found AZ true bills,
and have examined and investigated all
other matters coming before US. In the
investigation Of the Justices OF the
Peace abstracts we found that Is OF
them have failed to make any reports,
and had some complaints of Justices
refusing to act when called upon to do
80. We have examined all of the county
property, Jail, court house outbuildings
and fencing around the same, and with
the exception of the Jail we found all in
a deplorsble condition. The Jail is clean
and in good sanitary condition. The
prisoners are well fed with good and
substantial food, and there were no
complaints made by any of the prison
ers. There are confined in the Jail 20
prisoners, 4 of whom are insane and who
will have to remain until vacancies in
the asylum at Little Rock occur but
they are we'll cared for and humanely
treated
We found the court house In bad
condition, inside and out. Windows are
broken, paint has peeled off both the
metal and wood work exposing them to
the elements The floors are extremely
dirty and the main steps leading to the
court room are heaped with dirt. The
walls Of both of the jury rooms are de-
fected and unsightly, The fence around
the court square is broken down in
many places and we find 1t unsuitable,
1t Is certainly not ornamental, and in the
light Of facts it is not durable, The
closets we condemn as unfit to be en-
tered by human being, much less to
be forced to use them.
We have presented the facts, let the
proper authorities apply the remedy.

TEAcHERstIN UNION.
Instructors Object TO Low Wages and
May Organize.

From Saturdays Daily.
And now the school teachers are
thinking of organizing a union and the
superintendent in the various schools
are experiencing mild fright over.
the prospects of strike and the ac-
companying shortage in the ranks of
the rod wielders. The news is being
whispered in labor circles and it is
said comes direct from the headquar-
tiers of the State Federation of Labor
that the teachers are dissatisfied with
the scale of wages being paid, which
they claim is inadequate, and will or
ganize for their mutual protection.
One of Ottumwa's prominent young
women teachers when queried by a
Courier reporter as to whether or not
she WAS in sympathy with the propos-
ed organization, expressed herself as
being strongly in favor of joining with
her sister and brother instructors in
an effort for higher wages.
Labor Leaders interested.
The general complaint of the low
wages paid to teachers, especially in
the rural schools of Iowa, has attract
ed the attention of the officers of the
State Federation of Labor. A high Of
fclal of that federation said today that
an effort would be made to get the
teachers to form unions and join the
state federation. This movement has
been carried on successfully in Chica-
go and it is believed by union men
that it is the only solution of the vex-
ed question. A. E. Holder, of Des
Molnes, president of the state fedora
ton, is in favor of getting the teach
ers to ally themselves with that or
ganization. Recently, Superintendent
Barrett received a letter fom young
woman teacher Of Dubuque county,
which categorical the various ills from
which rural school teachers are suffer
ing. This letter, which Mr.. Barrett
pronounces the best summary of the
case he has yet seen, showed that in
Dubuque county the best and most eff
ficient teachers were receiving but s25
to $50 per month, and that with this
pay it was impossible for them to at.
tend Institutes clothe themselves.
Keep abreast OF the times in an edu-
cational way, and in short maintain
themselves at the high standard ex.
| pected of them.
Average for Women, $3o.17.
The school census for 1902 shows
the average monthly compensation for
female teachers has declined from
$30.6S in 1901 to $30.17 in 1902, the
lowest figure reached in the last seven
years. This average includes all the
female teachers, both those in the
cities and the rural schools. The com
pensation for male teachers, as shown
by the census returns, has increased
from $41.53 in 1901 to $43.66 in 1902
The number of teachers who attended
normal institutes declined largely in
1902.

All of these men have been working
together for the Plano company for
several years, but on January 1 Mr.
Wilson and some of the others will

short time, remove with his family.
