SCHOOL GIRLS STRIKE.
Boys Suspension is Cause Of Trouble
at WatertoWn.

The WATERFOWL school board is hav.
ing troubles of it's own. Just now 1t
is facing strike of the whole junior
class of the high school numbering
twenty-seven boys and girls.
The trouble was precipitated by the
suspension of seven boys of the class
for raising their pennant over the
school building in supposed defiance
of the boards orders that only the
Stars and Stripes should float from
the high school fagpole. In support
OF the boys whom they believed inno-
cent of any intentional disregard of
rules the twenty girls of the class left
the assembly room of the high school
in body, and refused to return until
the boys were exonerated by the
board.
The principal of the high school is
sure the order of the board was pub
lished, while the class is equally firm
in maintaining that only their presi-
dent and two other girls in the class
ever heard of the ruling of the board
made only night or two previous to
the raising of their flag. The presi-
dent of the board is out of the city
and so no action has yet been taken
by that body on the Strike"
1t is rather a perplexing question:
for the board to settle, as it does not
wish to be unjust to the class, nor in
credulous of the principal. nor let lax
in its discipline.

The Massachusetts Republicans
are dissatisfied with The Dingley
tariff law The recent state platform
declares:
we contend for adoption by the
next national Republican convention
OF a resolution calling the congress
10 meet in special session to deter
mine upon amendments to the pres
cnt tariff laws, or the enactment of a
new measure to meet changed condi-
tons, TO remove duties needless eth
err for revenue or protection. and
make such notifications as expert
ence may have shown to be neces
sary."
This is rather indefinite, but DEM
onstraies the dissatisfaction that has
arisen from the Dingley law even
from the Republican camp. 1t ap-
pears that many Republicans are
convinced that the present tariff law
Is ubiquitous in the extreme.

Aleer, OF the st. Louis Americans, to

AT present the batters' box is six
