Education Board Slightly Mixed
 In its Rules?
Teacher Calls its Attention to Case of Apparent Dis
 crimna.i0n.

At the meeting of the Board of Education, last night, a communication was received from Miss Margaret Mooney, a teacher in Lincoln school, of affffairs that exists regarding the boards rules for deducting pay for days off. Miss Moneys letter, which is self-explanatory, is as follows: Bridgeport. Ct.. Nov. 13. 1911 1 To the Honorable Board of Education of the City of Bridgeport: Gentlemen:-On Oct. g, 1911, sent the following communication to the finance committee:
 "On account of the death of an un- ole, my sister and I were unable to teach school on May Is, 16 and 17, 191L When making out our pay statements we were told to deduct our pay for this period. eve later learn ed that another teacher who was ab- sent two days. May 31 and June 1. on account of the death of sister-in-law, was raid in full)
 ''I spoke to pr. Deane about the matter and he said that the other some finance committed had ruled that teacher was to be paid for time lost on account of the death of Q brother-in-iaw or a sister-in-law.
 .sI cannot understand how any com mittee could so misinterpret the rule tiidt tuSy WOulQ llcluue a DTOCl6r-1n- law or Sister-in-law in the immediate family and exclude an aunt or uncle. An aunt or an uncle is a relative; a brother-1n-law or sister-in-law is a family connection. If the rule in- cludes brother-in-law and sister-in- law in the immediate family, it must necessarily include an aunt or an un- cle. I therefore think that we are en- titled to pay for the time that we were absent and so request that you reconsider the deductions."
 MT. John J. Cullinan, chairman of the finance committee, has told me that the committee decided not to take any action on this case, but that the new rules would take care of such matters do not see that the new rules have anything to do with the case, and as believe that one teacher should receive as favorable consider atfon as another, place the matter before you, trusting that you will give 1t your consideration.
 Yours res1,ectfcily,
 MARGARET M MOONEY.

NO WORK ON SUNDAY.
Six Days of Labor Should Be tho
Maximum Week.

President James NJ. Lynch of the
gives his views on Sunday work as
follows: The seven day week obtain
ed for years in the newspaper end OF
the printing trades. We got over it
by enacting a law which requires our
members employed on seven day situa-
tons to give out one day each week
to the first obtainable substitute. AS
result our wages for six days are
now In excess of the wage formerly
received for the seven day week. The
subject was forcibly impressed upon
me by a paragraph appearing in the
report of sermon delivered by To-
cal minister, who said
at seems to us that the worst enc
my of the workingman is the person
who wantonly removes the saCredness
Of his one day Of rest, commonly call
ed Sunday, for If one line Of amuse-
ment makers be allowed to pursue
their regular line Of business on Sun
day on what logical basis can we pre-
vent hundreds OF other lines from
opening up also? I have in my pos
session most urgent appeal publish
ed by the actors Of this country, in
which they request the clergy to assist
them in keeping theaters closed on

zone Of the local newspapers in dis
cussing this matter truthfully said
that not 1.-THE Of what will come Is
included in the labor Of those thus
called on to minister to the selfish en-
ioyment of Sunday amusement seek
ers. The same license that acquiesces
in lawbreaking for this purpose will
break it for other purposes, and, I'M
checked. we shall come on q time when
there will be no Sunday free from
work for the average man, and, what
is more, the equation will settle itself
SO that in the run of things the work
ingman will get no more for his seven
days than he now gets for six.
Labor has come long way from
the almost unremlttent toll that bound
the worker to his task for practically
all of his waking moments to a time

Tn. Real caus. of High Wages.

1t is familiar adage In the business
world that an efficient man is cheap at
high wages. Yet in its application to
larger questions this adage is never
thought Of In discussing the tariff
and wages people assume as a matter
of course that the employer who pays
high wages must therefore sell his
goods at a higher price. The fact is
that If the labor is well fed and intel
ligent and is applied under good nat
ural conditions and with skillful lead
ership the employer can turn out an
abundant product or a product Of high
quality, sell 1t cheap and still pay his
laborers well. And the real source and
cause Of general high wages, says the
economist, is precisely in these condi-
tons efficient labor, good natural re-
sources, skillful industrial leadership.
Given these and you will always have
higher wages and need not fear com
petition from cheap and inefficient la

A RECORD IN HARMONY.
What Trade Agreements Have Done
For the Iron Moders.

Thirty thousand iron molderS, en-
ployed in the stove and range industry
in the United States and Canada, We're
given an increase in wages of per
cent through an agreement signed re-
Gently in Chicago between the Stove
Founders National Defense associa-
ton and the Iron Molders' Union of
North America. 1t was the twenty
first yearly contract which has been
made between the two organizations,
and during that time there has not
been a strike or lockout or any inter
ruption to business.
The increase, which went into effect
Jan. 1, makes a total advance of 80
per cent which the iron molders have
received through Cancellation since
1898. The stove founders and the iron
molders were the first employers as
ISOLATION and the first labor union to
sign a national trade agreement in this
country, and for twenty years the
same harmony has prevailed in the in
dustry.
1t establishes a new record for the
joint trade agreement and cOngratula-
tons were general when the contract
was signed. The president of the
Stove Founders National Defense as
ISOLATION is George Mitchell of Pitts
ton, Pa, and the secretary is Thomas
J. Hogan of Chicago.
The officers of the Iron Molders'
union who negotiated the contract are
Joseph F. Valentine Of Cincinnati,
president, and John p. Frey, editor Of
the Iron Molders' Journal.
1--WE have set a new mark for en-
ployers and labor unions to shoot at"
said Mr.. Frey-"twenty years with
out strike and relations as harmoni-
Gus now as when we made the first
agreement. 1t is strong argument
for the joint trade agreement move

It's about time the opponents Of
