ONTARIO. Ore, Sept. 1s.-Five
thousand people attended the NAL

I'm order that the program END Of
the fair would be above the average,
a committee secured from the PEN

cred the star attractions and as re-
suit Bob Gavin. who secured second

SCHOOL BOARD MAY
SELL TEXT BOOKS
AT COST PRICES

AS result of complaints that have
arisen this year in connection with
the change of text books IN the pub
,ic schools II Is possible that after
this year the text books for Use in the
local schools may be supplied 20 the
lupils direct by the school hoard Ut
cost prices. This provided 1t Is found
the board has power to engage in such
business.
Although 1t Is recognized that the
margin of profit on text books is
small there has been much complaint
this year because of the necessity OF
buying new books. In many cases the
cost has fallen heavily on people and
the school board has come in for its
full share of criticism despite the fact
the board has nothing to do with the
question as to what text books shall
be used here.
Another source of complaint is that
the local book store handling the text
books does not secure a sufficient sup
ply. 1t Is charged that often the store
will not secure enough books to sup
ply a class and that as a result some
without books to the disadvantage OF
themselves, their teachers and to loss
OF efficiency in the school work.
This difficulty in securing books
wanted is causing much of the senti-
ment in behalf of having the school
board handle the text book business.
IT believe we should be able to get
the books sent us on consignment so
that we could return the books we
do not need" said an influential MEM
Der of the board today. "If so we
would never have trouble supplying
all the books needed and the margin
OF profit, whatever 1t may be, could
be given to the pupils in lower
prices"
Thus far the subject has not been
taken up officially by the board but II
present complaints continue to roll in
there Is probability of steps being
taken In this direction before next
fall.

1---z Chamberlain, Is the re-
duction in the duty on burlap
y bags.
' This question was very care
' fully considered by the demo-
' crats of the senate. and the sub
ject was studied in all of its
bearings. India has a monopoly
y on the production of burlap. and
y and II was decided that to re-

y was to reduce the duty on bags
= and to put the raw material on
y the free list, giving our manu-
facturers the fullest advantage
y in this respect but maintaining
sufficient duty on their finished
product to give them an advan-
y tage in competition with manu-
y facturers in India or other coun-
= tries where labor Is cheap.
= This policy said Senator
y Chamberlain. in discussing this
y item in the tariff bill, will help
y the farmers. while Calcutta is
y deprived of the chance to main

it cannot raise the price to us.
= AT the same time, We have so
y framed the tariff, we think. as
y to avoid crushing out the Am

''The duty, as will be seen, is
really in the interest of the far

were forbidden to wear union buttons.
Union officials gave notice later in
the day to all other companies that
10 900 men are prepared to walk out

to the unions demands
Transport workers in Dublin are
out and the situation is serious at
Liverpool. Tieups in other cities
outside of London are also expected
1t is feared that the outcome will be
strike of all the transport workers
in the country.
Situation Grave.
The English labor situation is es-
pecially grave in view of the fact
that the enormous proportion of the
unionists are bent on forcing speedy
increase in wages, the average of
which is about $3.50 a week for ordi-
nary skilled labor The increase to
be demanded win be from $40 to SIS
a week and the employing class is
looking on so large an advance as
amounting practically to a revolution
and are prepred to resist to the lst

an imposing array of counsel.
Sulzer's attorneys announced they
were present to object to the juris-

There is no question but that the

are hostile to Sulzer Friends of the
governor. however. do not believe that
the hostile members will amount to
two-thirds.
Having registered their objections to
the court as whole, Suffers attor-
neys next objected to swearing In

perger, and Sanner on the grounds
that they prepared the Impeachment
