Quick Justice for Underpaid Teachers

An insidious and peculiarly dangerous
form Of opposition to the increase OF sal
aries OF the public school teachers has de-
veloped. The advocates OF revolutionary
reorganization of the local school system
and of the board OF education have posed
as the friends of the teachers. and have
competed In protestatons of solicitude for
their welfare and of a fervent desire to en-
large their inadequate salaries.
1t is now beginning to appear, however
that some of the reorganizers are merely
masuuerading as advocates OF increased
salaries for the teachers. Stirred by The
Stars urgent appeal that the disputed re-
organization proposals be postponed until
next session, and that everybody In favor
of increasing the teachers salaries unite
and concentrate efforts Immediately to Sc
cure this Increase this opposition now de-
clares that the local public schools already
cost too much money, and that the under
paid teachers must wait for reasonably ad-
equate salaries until the money can be
saved from other school items of appropria-
tion. as by largely disseminating free text
books, by discharging some of the special
teachers and supervising principals, by
building a small number of large school
houses in place of the more numerous
existing small school houses, the latter then
10 be sold. and by cutting off the $500 per
annum paid to members of the board of ed
UCation.
To postpone increase of teachers salaries
on this pretext is clearly to deny the In
crease altogether Only through united ac-
ton. unembarrassed by any hotly disputed
contentious. can the salary increase be ac-
complished in the short time remaining of
this session.
II the money necessary for such increases
Is not to be obtained except at the expense
or the discharge of other teachers and
supervisors. the cutting down of free text
books, the sale of some existing school
buildings and the rebuilding of new and
larger structures in lieu thereof II will not,
of course. be secured al this session. OF. as
The Star believes. at any other session.
it is well. however, that the public school
teachers should understand this dangerous
form of opposition to their increased sal
airy movement An additional reason is
thereby supplied for the quick and strong
combination of all sincere workers In be-
half of the underpaid teachers

there Is no agreement a strike order VIII
doubtless Issue, to take effect next Mon
day morning.
Considering the enormous losses certain
to result from strike of the GOAL miners
In either field. and especially in both fields
simultaneously, It is a bitter reflection that
the fate of a multitude Of people now
rests with a very few men. who are actu-
ated TO ell appearances solely by selfish con-
siderations and without regard for the pub
lie welfare The operators claim that they
are resisting the demands Of the hard-coal
miners because they are not willing to bur-
den the consumers of anthracite with the
added cost of fuel which would be caused
by the granting Of those demands. Re-
ms1mbering the experiences OF 1902. when
the public paid enormously and suffered
severely In consequence of the prolonged
strike. II remains to be seen whether the
operators win be the more considerate OF
the consumers by yielding something to in
sure peace or refusing all. and thereby pos
ssbly precipitating q strike. On the other
hand, the miners leaders have 1t in their
power to order the strike whether the
operators offer compromise or not. They
will doubtless claim in this case that they
are charged with a special responsibility
which Is greater than the general RESPONSE
bility involved in thrusting the confusing
public into condition of loss and hardship.
Unfortunately no automatic process Of adj
justment Is available for the solution of
such problems to prevent a calamity like
this now threatened. A compulsory arbi-
tration provision of law has long been ur-
gently needed in this country. to be In
Voked in the name of the public at crit
ical iuncture In the relations of workers and
employers. Another coal strike. resulting
from the stubborn insistence of the two
sides to this controversy, will go far toward
persuading the people that such system
must be provided.

Organized Labor in Politics.

Organized labor, we are told intends to
catechise both parties on the subject OF
isbor legislation, and throw its strength to
the one promising a compliance with it's
wishes That is all very well. but let US
not forget that labor is powerless In the
strongholds of democracy What can labor
do In the south. where it has no organize
tons Of consequence. and no choice of
parties? There Is but one party In the
south AS matters now stand, labor will
dash Itself In vain against the democracy In
that section. For an instance, John Sharp
Williams. who Is responsible for the MI
hority membership of the House committee
on labor. snap his fingers in Mr.. Com
pers race Only death can deprive him of
election to the next House, or of the speak
ership OF that body If the democrats con-
troll II.
1t Is in the debatable sections of the
country that labor will have its chance.
and there Is where the bidding for its vote
VIII take place. In those sections there are
two parties, and the republicans will be
obliged to watch their corners I.abor.s
whole strength is there. and IL, as Mr..
Gompers threatens. it is going to take a
hand In the game, we may see some sur
prlses next fan. Unlike Mr.. Williams Mr.
cannon. who is responsible for the major
lty membership of the House committee on
labor. may find organized labor a factor
against him.
The executive council Of the Federation
OF Labor at its session Saturday said this:
we reaffirm as one of the cardinal prin
c!ples or the trade union movement that
the working people must unite and organ
lie. irrespective of creed, color, sex, ma
tionality or politics"
Mark the word color" Organized labor
has itself hitherto drawn the color line
Does 1t now favor the organization of COL
ored laborers for political purposes? And
VIII 1t cooperate with them for political
ends? If so it can hope for help from that
source only In the debatable sections: and
there again the republicans may suffer.
The negro is not voter In the South. and
is not likely TO be In this generation. He
Is barred from the polls. either by state
constitutions or by party arrangements
which operate to bar him
Labor as a distinct factor in our noIitics
means a good deal. but the details of frs
activities have yet to be worked out. II

Last Week of the Coal Agreemsr+s


one week now remains FOR the coat miners
and operators, In both the bit,Iminous and
anthracite fields to get together for a com
tiHuation of the existing agreements. The
negotiations for adjustment are at present
in a very complicated condition, especial,v
in the soft-coal region. where there ia q
possibility OF strike weakened by defec-
Slons from Mitchelrs leadership. Indeed
the indianapolis convention has TINS far
proved decidedly unsatisfactory TO all sides
having developed chiefly that there Ia a
spirit Of faction within the ranks of hoth
union and operators. But there is mn
hope that strike order would not he
obeyed by sufficient number TO cause a
tremendous effect upon the Industrial world
despite the vast stocks of soft coal that
the larger manufacturing corporations have
accumulated during the past few months.
The negotiations In the anthracite field
have halted at the stage of the operators
proposal of further conference. The en-
gagements of Mitchell and his iieutenarts
in Indianapolis have prevented immediate
acceptance of this proposition. and Ii IS now

College LaWIessness.
the New York Evening Post,


Another folly of the American college, for
which it's faculties are primarily RESPONSE
BILE, Is the retention In this enlightened day
of the medieval idea that the college COM
nunity is not amenable to the law. An
ordinary citizen could not kick In another
citizens door without serious danger of be-
ing shot, under the legal right of self
defense, or arrested and punished in the
courts. AS between students in American
college buildings. such action may be in
dulged in with almost complete inpunity.
The student Is not encouraged by the fac
ulty to maintain his own rights, and 1t is
rare that the college authorities In such a
case will go any farther than to demand
repair of the damage to property. The Of
Tense against the laws OF the state Is abso-
lutely ignored. 1t is only In colleges stu
ated In the larger cities, where outside
pressure is heavier. that college authorities
have shown the slightest tendency to invoke
the aid of the authorities against student
lawlessness.

A Plea.

Speak gently to the millionaire.
Oh do not be unkind!
You know he has lot of care
And trouble on his mind.
He cannot see the humor which
Inspired your merry chaff.
He's been so busy getting rich
He hasn't time to laugh.
He has to labor night and day
Our college folk to tell
The way to make their wisdom pay
And also how to spell.
Don't teer with saturn1ne intent
The wealth that brings him fame.
It may have been an accident
For which he's not to blame.

Contempt of the Supreme Court.
From the Chicago Post.

A rabble that INDUCES in lynching is not
likely to distinguish between one court and
another. The only tribunal 1t knows is it's
own passion. But there Is likely to be some
educating done in Chattanooga. In that
city--by no means a remote or obscure 10
cality-a mob has just interviewed between
a prisoner and the Supreme Court of the
United States. The prisoner was under
sentence of death and stay had been
granted by Justice Harlan. AS this pro-
ceeding did not meet the approval Of GER
tain citizens of Chattanooga, the order was
overruled and summarily annulled by the
capture and informal execution Of the ne
gro. The participants in this act are guilty
OF murder and of contempt of court.

The Human Hog.
From the Richmond Journal.

From the RicnInOnu JOurHHI.
The man who thinks Of nothing but max
Ing money may not be capable of realizing
that other people can think of nobler pur-
poses. Like the pig, with It's snout so deep
In the trough that its eyes are buried in
the slop. its human prototype may also be
unable TO see or think of anything in the
world but the one business of getting all
that's to be got 1t is right and proper
that the pig should have no thought bur for
its stomach-it Is made that way. But with
man ii is different to have pigs mind he
must acquire ii by killing the best there
is in him. By viii he renounces manhood
and debases himself to the level Of the
animal. He spills blood, but he murders
a man to make a pig. II is the basest of
suicides, and perhaps the commonest.

Steamboat Inspection
 Service For Alaska

Capt. A. M. Walton, inspector of hulls, T. J. Heeny, inspector of boilers, and G. 'E. Hart, secre tary, passed thru on the steamer Sarah on their way to Tanana and Cinema. These gentlemen constitute the new Yukon district in- spection board of hulls and boilers. It is newly appointed and succeeds the old board which has been transferred from the Yukon district to the newly created division of southeastern Alaska and the coast running westward to the Aleu- tian islands.
 The board will spend the summer on the Yukon and at St. Michael and Nome. In the winter they will be stationed at Honolulu headquarters.
 An exchange states that Captain Walton says that the inspection rules will be enforced to the letter. and that all wise steamer owners always desire this for the protection of their boats and their passengers. It is the cheap est as we'll as the safest for all involv- ed.

New Regulation Tor
 Gold Dust in I ransit

The Dawson merchants are desirous of increasing their trade with the Am erican Yukon, and have succeeded in securing the enactment of regulation permitting Alaskan gold to be sold there and that neither the buyer or the seller need pay any royalty on account of the transaction. The Dawson Daily News comments upon the innovation as follows:
 Hereafter, miners and others bring ing gold from the lower river, that is the American Yukon, for the outside, will be required to enter it at the cus- toms house, in Dawson. and then, if it is destined for the outside, to take it to Comptroller. Lithgow to have it proper ly stamped as American gold. Other wise the gold may become confused with Canadian gold which is subject to royalty of two and a half per cent. After the gold is entered here. the ow- ner, perhaps in any event, whether it $ to go outside or not, should take it to the comptroller.
 If it is sold to the Dawson banks, the banks. so long as it is isolated and identified as American gold, also will escape paying the duty on it, and there fore can afford to pay the original ow- ner more for the commodity. Much American gold already is bought here by the banks. The merchants and others desire to see the American gold sold here for the fact it helps bring trade to Dawson"
