Conference Does Nothing.

Although the delegates to both min
ers' and operators divisions of the
joint conference are still in the city,
nothing has been done since last
week toward reaching settlement.
AS was the case last year, the miners
are waiting to hear the settlement to
be made in Illinois before they will
be willing to accept any terms except
their own. which are equal to the
maximum obtainable in the state
across the Mississippi. Although a
settlement is hoped for in Illinois be-
fore the end of the week, dispatch
today says that the agreement thus
far reached does not affect the north
ern field, the one in which Iowans are
most interested.
Neither Lockout Nor Strike.
The suspension of work that is
thought inevitable will not be in the
form of either a lockout or a strike
but more in the nature of an amicable
suspension until an agreement is
reached as regards wages The miners
would not start to work for another
year upon the operators terms and
the operators obviously would not con-
tinue work upder the same conditions
.thatene~ govern. pending a settle.
- yse Twill be no strike, of that
Z ;. d aacticaHy sure who IS
acquainted with the conditions, but
the length of the possible suspension
is something which it is impossible to
estimate at this time.
Agree In Illinois.
Springfield, Ill, March 30. - With
the exception of the first district, or
northern field, the scale of wages to
be paid Illinois miners for the years
1904 and 1905 was agreed upon at yes
terday's joint session of miners and
operators. The miners from the north.
ern part of the state are fighting
against a reduction and have the sup.
port Of National President John Nit
chell. In all other districts the min.
ers submitted to the interstate agree
ment, which reduces their wages 8
cents ton. Operators assert they will
not concede any point to the northern
miners, and expect that the entire scale
will be agreed upon and signed by the
latter mart of the week

The Public Service Corporation has

shows how bold these monopolies can
become when they have absorbed
about all the power in sight and are
in q position to say to the public,
what are you going to do about it?

Although the invitation to that com
pany was sent to the chief OF the
street lighting department., a reply
was sent by President McOarter ab-
solutoly refusing to have anything 20
do with the conference. In the Same
letter Mr.. McOarter informed the city
officials that there would be no further
cooperation on the part of the Public
Service toward municipal improve
ment.in Jersey City. All this because
Mayor Pagan refused to give away n
perpetual franchise for a trolley line
on certain streets, claiming that a
twenty -five.year franchise was su ffici-
emit, and also because the mayor dis
putes the right of the trolley lines to
the other streets. Because q public
spirited mayor dares face a powerful
corporation and fight for some public
rights, refusing to give away every
thing in sight, !the company says it is
through with Jersey City except to
squeeze what money it can out of its
citizens. Such q state of affairs should
thoroughly arouse ~the.people. A muni-
--
cipal lighting plant is talked of and it
should be encouraged. Every city
! will have to come to it. When a single.
company gets q monopoly of all public
utilities there is danger ahead. Here
in Perth Amboy this is o warning.
Think of what q saving there would
be with the city lighting its own
streets. Such "a plant would cost money
a. the outset, but it would pay for IL.
self in a few years and would ever
after be a source of revenue to the
city TREASURY besides providing q
cheaper rate for every resident. NUM-

tion every city will have to settle be-

NO SMOKING IN LIBRARY.

The Library Board has shown itse If
to be one of the most progressive
bodies in this city. Even before tho
present handsome home for the library
was built it was thoro ughly up-to'
and since taking possession Of
building the board has
tizens of Perth Amboy an

ideas and new suggestions

nw.,s. ..,rvr sped and put into execution
here for the benefit of Local patrons
There is a question of doubt, how
ever, as to the wisdom in establishing
the latest innovation suggested. A
smoking room III a public library,
especially III che SIS small as Perth
Ambcy has, is something entirely new
and to many people will seem to be
entirely uncalled for. There are sew
eral excellent reasons why no smoking
should BIO allowed any where in the
building. In the first place. the Ii
brary ia f%reqnented by ladies and has
lady attendants. II smoking is allowed
in tho basement, the odor of tobacco.
which should he entirely foreign to
such a place, will surely permeate
through the floors and walls into
the rooms upstairs. Not only that,
but il smoking is allowed in II IN
part of the building, the lighted
cigars, cigarettes or pipes will be
carried through the halls and stair
way leading to that part, making it
disagreeable for the ladies and others
who do moi smoke.
Again, a smoking room in the base
ment is going to have a bad influence
on young men and boys. Such places
have a peculiar fascination for boys
who like to make believe they are
man and do as men do. Such fellows
will always go to tho smoking room
in preference to the reading room.
The board has not money enough to
employ n man attendant to be in
charge of the room, and, the young
men attracted to tho place by the
privileges and with no n to restrain
them, are apt to become boisterous.
Is the lady attendant supposed to
grope her way through n cloud of
tobacco smoke TO keep order? Smok
ing leads to splitting and such a prac.
tice is depIored anywhere in a IL
brary. 1t is feared tho smoking room
would soon become more of a clut
room for the Younger element to gel
in out Of the cold and smoke a cigar.

than many who sought to advise him.
In politics Mr.. Hillard has always
been Republican but in local in
stances he has always allowed his
knowledge of the candidatesto govern
his voting.
Socially he is a member of the Ma
sonic, fraternity, the Knights of
Pythias and the Woodmen of the
World.
In March of this year he sought to
enlarge and strengthen the telephone
business here and sought the cooper
alton of some of the business men of
the village and township who very
readily associated themselves with
him in business and incorporated the
company now known as The Maumee
Valley Telephone company for the
purpose of extending and improving
the telephone system and business,
ands IMPLYING telephone communica-
ton to all parts of this and adjoining
townships.
At the present time there is not a
more efficient or better conducted
telephone system in any town in the
State of Ohio, and the business and
its management reflect much credit
on the village and especially upon
Mr.. Hillard who was elected Secre-
tary and General Manager of the
company.

NEW OHIO SCHOOL CODE,
Continued from First Page)

schools and for the issuing of three
grades of certificates, namely: Teach
ers' elementary school certificates,
teachers High school certificates,
and teachers special certificates.
"The branches required for element
ary certificates are specified and said
certificates being valid in all element
airy schools in the country, not includ'
ing cities The branches are also speci.
fed for high school certificates, and
these are valid in all high schools.
The special certificates are only grant
ed for special branches enumerated
in the law.
This grading of certificates will be
of great benefit to the teachers, as n
person holding an elementary certifi-
cate can teach in any branch in an ele-
mentary school even should his certifi-
cate not include such branch, and
the same is true in regard to high
school certificates. The law provides
for 12 examinations each school year,
one being held each month.
Provisions relating to the kind of
certificates to be. issued by city
boards of examiners are similar to
those relating to county boards. There
is new provision providing for an
appeal to the state commissioner of
common schools in regard to the grad
ing of certificates when an applicant
believes injustice or partiality has
been shown.
MISCELLANEOUS.
THE law relating to the number OF
weeks schools shall be continued was
changed so as to provide that each
elementary school shall be conducted
not less than 80 nor more than 40
weeks. Formerly the law provided
for minimum of "a weeks.
