NEW YORK. Dec S0.-The great
strike of Garment workers that is ex-
pected TO involve 125.000 men and
women in this city was inaugurated
here today in a driving rain storm.
More than 1000 drenched pickets
took their stations at as many fac
tories at ! a. m. and notified all the
workers arriving that the fight for
higher wages and improved working
conditions had begun.
Reports 10 union headquarters stat
ed the strike order was generally
obeyed and President Rickert of the
United Garment Workers predicted
that by night 10000 would be out
New York's s2O5, ,532.727 annual out
put of mems ready made clothing has
been completely tied up according to
strikers and if the struggle is success
full here it will be extended to other
large cities of the country.
Forty thousand women under the
leadership of Rose Schneiderman
probably will join the strikers.
A spokesman for the four thousand
manufacturers involved said that the
employers would refuse to deal with
the United Garment Workers Of
America, under whose auspices the
strike was called. The demand of the
strikers is for an increase of from Is
to 20 percent in wages. an eight hour
day and the abolition of tenement
house work.
Mrs. o. II. P. Belmont and Mrs
Rose Astor Stokes are said to be plan
ming to cooperate with the women
workers. According TO this report
they will endeavor to get the Ladies
Waist and Dressmakers union TO join
in the demand for an increase In pay.
The waistmakers are expected TO
strike within ten days, affecting 10000
workers.

AT Board of Education Meet
ing Kelly Recommends All
Schools Be Patterned Aft
er Those in this County.
THE TEACHERS ARE
GIVEN GOOD WAGES
An Increase of $1,000 in
1912, Over 1911, in County
Teachers Pay Roll, Justi-
fled, Says Williams. -

AT the meeting of the state board
of education at Indianapolis last week
the Wayne county school system was
held up as model and it was recon-
mended that all county systems be
modelled after the one in vogue here.
Aside from the Richmond. Hagers-
town, Milton and Dublin schools the
schools in the county are operated on
a system demanding the same re-
quirements for graduation in all
schools. A record of each pupils
work is filed each year with County
Superintendent Williams and refer
ence to these reports can be easily
obtained by request. This system &C
cording to President r. l.. Kelly Of
Earlham, the representative Of the
state board Of education who made the
accommodation to the board, is of
great help to college authorities who
wish to learn definitely what work
has been completed by applicants to
the colleges from this county.
Examinations Hard.
In other counties the work is irreg-
ular and not as well systematized as
here, it is said. Different require
ments are made of the students in
the advancement of class is held
back because of few less capable
or less Industrious students. The
system of teachers requirement exam
nations in Wayne county was also
recommended to the board. --~--.-~
THE teachers in Wayne county are
higher salaried. said Supt. Williams
this morning. This is due to the stiff
examinations required Of the teach
ers. The examinations are more diff
cult here than elsewhere and more ap-
plicants fail to pass the examinations
here than any other county in the
state.
In Wayne county there are four
district school teachers receiving $50
per month and fifteen receiving SIS.
The average throughout the state is
$65.
A Big Increase.
There is an increase Of $4,000 over
the pay roll for teachers in Wayne
county during 1911. In 1911 the total
amount paid was $172,000.
Randolph county has the best school
buildings of any county in the state
though the system is not considered
equal to that of Wayne and the school
sessions are not held as long, Over
$250.0O0 was spent during the past
five years for schools in Randolph
county.
1t is expected by the local school
authorities that an action will be TAX
en- by the state board of education at
their February meeting to systematic
the school work and regulate all the
systems after the one in Wayne coun-
ity. The Wayne county schools are in
session 100 days while the average
county school session is 144 days.

BIG AMOUNT SPENT
ON C|TYS PARKS
Number of Improvements
Made During the Past
Year at Glen.
WANT MORE ANIMALS
Hollarn Will Recommend
that a New Boat House
Be Built.
MORE ANIMALS

( During the year of 1912 more money
was expended on the Richmond city
parks than was ever expended in any
one year, according to the annual re-
port of Park Superintendent Edward
Hollarn. During the past year $500
was expended. The main things ac-
complished were the remodeling of the
roads in Glen, Miller. building a new
arch and bordering the ravine in the
front part of the park, building a
greenhouse, cleaning the lake, build
ing new fences, procuring new
benches for all the parks and trans
planting and trimming all trees and
shrubbery.
The pay roll amounted to $4,000;
bordering the ravine and making the
arch cost $1,652.S2; installing a new
lighting system s435.4S. coal for the
greenhouse $3.50, city's share of the
new band stand $3.50, building a new
greenhouse and installing new boil
ers, $4,000, roofing barns, s491.22,
purchasing a team of horses, S435, re-
pairs on Star Park house, $3.50, paint
and hardware. s156.20. cleaning the
lake, s127.50, two hundred new
benches, 1895.
Glen Improvements.
As many as $50 loads of mud and
sand were removed from the lake at
the Glen park. Next year a new boat
house probably will be built or the
old one remodeled as Superintendent
Hollarn states that tais will be one of
the recommendation which he will
make for next year in his report to be
submitted to the board of works at
the first meeting in January. A new
catch basin has been made at the end
of Glen Miller lake for the purpose OF
fuse which might tend to block the
sewer.
Among the noticeable features OF
| the Glen are the excellent roads. AS
result of an order issued by the su
perintendent, all automobiles and
heavily loaded carriages were exclud
ed from the park in the early spring
until all the frost was out of the
ground. This rule will be enforced
each year. Over 14O feet of brick
curb and gutter were layed in the
Glen and 325 feet of tiling for drain
ing purposes We're placed. A seventy
five foot walk was constructed.
Food at Zoo.
| The food for the animals in the
Glen Miller zoo cost the city s127 so
This amount is small considering the
number of animals at the park. A few
acres of ground enabled the park en-
ployes 10 raise vegetables which con
stituted a large part of the animals
! food. Three hundred bushels of corn
! sixteen tons of hay and four ton oi
! alfalfa were raised. All the monkey
| food except the whiskey furnished
, them through the cold weather, was
| raised in the park garden. Cow beats
potatoes, turnips and cabbages were
| fed the monkeys
| Among other things which will be
recommended that the city purchase
are two cub bears and three young
deers. There is at present only one
deer at the park. One of the elks has
been for sale or trade for the passed
six months but as yet nothing has
been offered which would justify q
sale.

WAITING GAME IS
PLAYED BY TURKS
And Resumption of Hostili-
ties Appears to Be Ger
tain Right Now.
(NatIonal News Association)

LONDON, Dec. 30.-With the dead
lock firmer than at any previous time
and with the possibility Of 4 resump-
ton of hostilities looming up with
menacing distinctness the negotiations
into the Turko- Balkan peace confer
ence was resumed today in St. James
palace.
Rechid Pacha. speaking for the Tur
kish ENJOYS told the representatives,
of the allies that he had communicat-
ed with Constantinople but received
no instructions which would allow him
and his colleagues to withdraw from
the stand they had taken. This reply
angered the plenipotentiaries of the al
lies who pointed out that the Turks
We're clothed with all the power nee

every time an obstacle arose. The
Turks insisted that they were justified
in demanding the retention OF Adriano-
pie because 'ft was being bravely de-
Tended" when hostilities came to a
close.
A Balkan Conference.
Today's session did not begin until
afternoon and during the morning the
delegates representing the allied gov
ernments conferred at the quarters
of tn Greek delegates. Premier Veni-
los of Greece. presided at the meeting
and after it broke up the gravity of
the conference indicated that the Bal
kan envoys had resolved on a bold
step.
DR.. Daneff of the Bulgarian ENJOYS.
sounded a note OF warning before the
conference was resumed:
We desire peace but We do not de-
sire TO fight for il unless forced to-
said Dr. Daneff.
IF We are compelled to resume hos
tilities Turkey must be prepared to
accept no quarter and some of the rep
resentatives of the allies have been
treated unjustly by the Turkish en-
voys. We have appealed to the British
foreign office for counsel and were ad-
vised TO put up with certain obstruc-
tions in view of the traditions of the
Turkish diplomacy. However. our for
bearance is about exhausted. We are
being chided by our own countries and
unless We force an issue we will look
ridiculous in the eyes of the world.
Our armies have been kept in the
field and We are able to - sumo the
war upon an hours notice"
The deadlock in the peace confer
ence is again menacing the tranquility
of Europe as no definite steps will be
taken to settle issues arising from the
Balkan war until ii is seen whether
