Swanson on the School Book Question.

Congressman Claude \. Swanson has
made the following statement. defining
his position on the school book question.
My experience, both as n pupil and as
a teacher in the public schools OF the
state. has convinced ne that. as an orig
inal propositions the single list isprefera-
bile. The adoption OF such n list gives
uniformity in the text books thrOugOut
the State, and hence. when pupils 90
from one district To another. orfrom one
county or city to another, they are not
forced to the necessity of purchasing new
books
Again. the single list will result in
saving 10 the people OF Virginia a vast
sum of money in the purchase OF hooks.
II do not favor sudden and radical
changes of hooks with theinc0nyenience,
losses and annoyances incident thereto.
II would favor, as member OF the
State Board OF Education, reaching u
single list M soon ~ it can be- done with
out entailing loss, Inconvenience and an
nOyance.
III should be elected Goyernorand be

absolutely free and untrammelled, and
with no purpose except to get the people
OF Virginia the best books at the best

NON-UyION NEN ARMED
Chicago Strike Breakers Garry Rifles
on Each Wagon.
RIoTING is OPEN AND VICIOUS
Arrival Of 1900 Strike Breakers
Caused Trouble and Resulted In
Employers Aiming Them-AII Ef-
forts at Settlement Failed.

Chicago. May Conditions In the
teamstcrs strike are worse than at
any preceding time. The strikers are
in uglier mood. the rioting is more
open and vicious and the attacks on
non-union men more frequent and dar-
ing than al any time since the be-
ginning OF the strike The chief cause
OF the increased belligerency on the
part OF the strikers and their friends
is the fact that the Employers Team
ing Association brought 1900 men into
Chicago to take the places of strikers.
and 500 more are said 10 be now on
the way and will arrive today These
men will receive the full pay of union
men. and IL has been guaranteed to
them that their positions will be per-
manent Among the strike breakers
are 200 farmer boys. All efforts TO
bring about a settlement have so far
failed.
Whenever a wagon Of the Employ
ers' Teaming Association goes through
the streets rifle will be carried on
each wagon in open view. During the
last week there has been much com
plant on the part Of the strike sympa-
thizers Of the readiness with which
non-unlon men. particularly negroes,
have used revolvers A number OF
strike breakers have been arrested on
charge OF carrying concealed
weapons. and the attorney Of the En-
ployers' Teaming Association called on
Chief of Police O'Neill and asked II
their men had not the right 10 carry
weapons. provided they were held in
open view. Chief O'Neill replied that
there was no law against it, and ar
rangements were promptly made by
the employers to place rifles on every
one of their wagons.
Over 1000 rifles were purchased. and
during the latter part Of the afternoon
a number of wagons went through the
streets with a rifle lying across the
knees of the driver and his asst tant.
The reason for this move on the part
of the employers Is that. nOtwith-
standing the utmost efforts of the po-
lice. non-unlon teamsters did not have
the protection that the Employers AS
sociation regarded as adequate.
Five men were seriously hurt dur
ing the fights and many others were
hurt.
