RESENT
ACTION Of BOARD
Miss Connolly Has Support
of Warm Friends In
School Fight.


SUMMIT, y. j., Feb. Friends OF
Miss Louise Connolly, formerly a teach
er in 5be District of Columbia public
schools, today began a vigorous cam
paign to force the board of education
OF this place to reconsider their action of
disconunuiIg her services as superin-
tendent of schools.
The acton Of che board in severing
Miss Cono!. Is connections with the pub
lie schools Was taken last night when
citizens Of Summit were asked 10 at
tend the meeting When the president
Of the board announced that a vote
would be taken 10 consider Miss Connol-
ly's replacement there was so much
cheering foc the former superintendent
that a suggestion was made 10 conclude
the meeting privately in another room
This suggestion was greeted with boots
and jeers.
Amid great confusion the votes were
cast, the result being 6 TO- 3 FOR the re-
moval of the woman superintendent.
Immediately the formal result OF the
ballot was made known, the crowd broke
out afresh with such ieoring and hooting
that adjournment was taken at once.
The board took the action they did on
the grounds that Miss Connolly was in
efficient as a superintendent and that
discipline had not been what II SHOULD
under her regime Miss ConnOlIv's
friends are many and strong They say
that favOTitism for man candidate for
her former position is being shown and
that they will make every effort 10 have
her put ack.

GRIST OF MISERY.

More than one purpose has been
served by the strike of working women
in Now York who make shirt waists, and
against whom the police authorities
Disseminated insolcntly and lawlcssly
1t has shown good many people that,
after ALL we do not live under a gov
eminent Of impartial law, as some of us
fondly boast. The action of the police
authorities when they discovered that
they had caught a rich woman in the
net they had spread for poor one was
revelation to many an honest minded
woman of wealth. It has had the effect
too, of intcnsifying the equal suffrage
movement by lifting it high above the
level of feminine fad and making
it an obviouscivic necessity.
The Importance of the direct influence
of women in civic affairs could not have
been better demonstrated than it has
been in the course of that shirt waist
makers strike. Not only has this strike
exposed the police authorities as in collu-
sion with employers who, because 'busi.
ness is business,'' mercilessly degrade
working women, but it's police court in.
cidents have exposed the inhumanity
that prevails in those "poor man 50
courts--a wretched inhumanity of which
well-to-do men have long been cognizant
but of which well-to-do women have until
now been so densely ignorant.
One of the notable occurrences of
the strike in this respect is the awful rev.
elation it has made to Mrs. Belmont, to
say nothing of the agreeable revelation
it is making of her Interested in the
the cause of overworked and undergrad
and police bounded working girls in that
strike, Mrs. Belmont went to a police
court between night and dawn to become
bail for such working girls as had been
arrested for 'picketing,'' and there,
while waiting six hours for the hopper
to grind out its grist of misery, she
saw sights that may we'll have made
her blood run cold with horror and hot

MINE DISASTER A LESSON.

The editor of The Labor News, of Col
orado Springs, Colo, presents the start
ling facts in regard to mine disasters in
the following pertinent editorial:
How long will people insist upon put
ting its greatest burdens upon its weakest
members2
Down at Primero some so widows, with
double that number of children, are left
to battle with the world.
If the verdict of the public officials is
correct, Rockefeller and his associates,
who own the mine, were not negligent
They had complied with the laws of the
state. They had used the ordinary safe
guards.
If this be true-and it is very true as
far as the widows are concerned-there
IS no legal way of compelling the com
pany to repay, if money could repay,
these women and fatherless children for
their loss.
The widow must turn from the task
of home.maker to bread winner. The
boys and girls must leave their schools to
work.
Unless they be of stronger fiber than
most mortals, the shock of the explosion
will not end it's work of desolation with
the burial of the 70 victims. There will
be shattered homes. Perhaps there will
be tempted widows and daughters who
will choose the ''easier'' and darker
paths. The boys may be led to evil
ways The weight of woe will be stretch
ed out through the years to scar and
blast.
Yet, the officials say that this disaster
was beyond prevention by human fore
sight; that it was one of those "inevi-
table, tragedies which are a part Of
dangerous business.
The work which these men were doing
was an essential work. The world needs
coal. Their muscle and courage were
needed to satisfy the demands of modern
life. The fruits of their toll went to
bring cheer to homes. It lighted fur
naccs and set in motion the wheels of
industry and manufacture in which hun
dreds of other men earn a livelihood.
Yet the risk of this business was placed
upon the shoulders of these poorly paid,
foreign workmen. The shock of the ex
plosion transferred the load to the backs
of the widow and the children.
Perhaps, of all concerned in the indus
try-either those who shared the profits
or the direct benefit of the prduct-thcse
alone were the least able to bear it.
a glance at the annual report of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company might
suggest that its enormous profits would
justify placing some part of the burden
| on the shoulders of Mr.. Rockefeller and
recompcnse the widows of these real part
ncrs of his who met death. For they
were partners in the industry, even if
they did not share the profits.
At any rate, this blamelcss' accident
is an argument for a compensatory dam
age law that will care for the widows
and children of men who lose their lives
while doing useful work for society,
whether negligence is shown or not

The fact is much to be deplored that
with most boys and girls the boy who
spends the greatest amount of money
for them, in furnishing them entertain
ment, is the boy most admired and ca

when his money plays out? lie plays
out, too. Consequently, to keep his foot

his employer, commits some other theft
or CANDLES, in order to keep in the swim

sire to supply the demands of worldly
