Public Meeting Held Last Evening
Brings Out Discussion. Agrees
to Raise $4,000 Under
New Law From
the State

Last evening the pubhc meeting
called by the County Commissioners
to consider the matter OF raising
money TO repair and improve the
Kings Canyon road 20 Lake Tahoe
or Glenbrook on the shores OF the
Lake, was more than we'll attended.
The meeting was most enthusiastic.
the courtroom was crowded and the
citizens, mostly taxpayers, were
there meaning business.
The meeting was called to order by
Chairman Kitzmeyer OF the Board OF
County Commits sioners. He stated
briefly but emphatically the intention
OF the meeting He remarked that
many OF the heaviest taxpayers OF the
county had urged the County Com
misSioners to call for a special cleo
ton i'll order TO raise money to make
road repairs. He with his elected
associates had declined to call an ell
ection until an expression OF the tax
payers was heard the people who
must foot the bills, and he also want
ed to hear from those who opposed
sue.
There were no protests arising
from the hundred or more present at
the meeting. Mr.. kitzmeyer then
called on Governor Oddie to give his
IDEAS OF the proposition. The Gov
crnor stated briefly that he was an adj
in the state. and that the state was in
position to lend the counties money
at the rate OF per cent. This money
coming from the idle school fund
| money whic indirectly goes back to
the counties. He cited the provisions
of the Russell Bill, which provides
that the counties can. by special ell
| ection create a bond issue for county
improvements, the election to be held

| per cent of the taxpayers. The law
was gone into i'll detail and its pur-

sion to state that the Capitol was To-
Gated in Carson City for all time and
that Ormsby County should see to il

tiful city.
Mr.. kitzmeyer then explained that
the county at present could spare
about $1,000 for road repair on this
route There was also due the coun-
ty from the state about 5000 worth ot
labor, which was assured the county
by the Prison Board This, he believ-

The Wfe!ess STikt


San Francisco. May 7.-As the YES
sells bearing wireless operators touch
this port the keymen are joining with
the wireless operators in their strike
to secure an increase in wage and bet
ter conditions. There seems to be a
unity of feeling against the low wages
paid to this class of labor. While some
nonunion men are being procured, yet
he supply is not sufficient to relieve the
situation. OF course all the transmits
sion companies are assisting the wire
less to the limit in it's effort to defeat
the union. Information has been re-
ceived that there also is impending a
strike of the wireless operators on the
300. transatlantic and coastwise
steamers as a result Of the efforts Of
the wireless operators on this coast,
the grievances being similar.

(Ry Theresa H. RusseII.)


A public school teacher of New
York City, married woman made
application to the Board of Education
for years leave of absence for the
purpose of becoming mother and OF
giving her child few months of per-
sonal care before going back to work.
Her petition was denied. From the
press dispatches it may be gathered
that the tender sensibilities of the
male members of the Board of Educa
ton were shocked by the immortality
of her request, for we read that dis
cussion of-the subject was cut short
The woman school teacher audaciou#
enough to make SO outrageous re-
quest is therefore left in the following
position. She is married and pre-
sumably she must continue to teach
school. l have known many school
teachers and have yet to meet one that
would voluntarily keep on with hel
long hours of nerve wracking work
| if she could afford not to. If the New
York teacher did not find it necessary
to work for living she would doubt
les not be working by this time. So
We may assume that she is compelled
by financial pressure to work for TIE
support of herself and her child.
Prevention of maternity is in this
| country a crime. Legislators and

rigid enforcement of their edicts on

This Won't Get Very Far

Harrisburg, Pa, May by a bill
introduced in the State Legislature it
is provided that employees of public ser
vice corporations must not leave their
wor kas the result of a dispute. In
feet, the bill provides for the estab-
lishment of board of arbitration,
the members of which are to be ap-
pointed by the Public Service Commits
sion, a bill for the creation of which
is new before the Legislature. The
provisions of the bill provide heavy
punishment in the event an employe
or employees go on strike, or if anyone
abets them, or even encourages them
to strike. A section of the bill also
provides that it shall be unlawful for
any employer to declare or cause a
lockout or for any employee to go
on strike on account of any dispute
prior to or during a reference of such
dispute to a board of Cancellation and
Investigation. The Legislature may
pass, bill of this kind if it desires, but
no State Legislature will be able to
effectually tie men to their work and
deny them the rights guaranteed under
the Constitution Of the United States.

scouts out on the streets and shine
for five cents. The proprietors craw7
fished, and there was no advance iii
price.
Here is where the Associated Press
presumably got in its work. A story
was sent broadcast that the boot
blacks union had been compelled to
lie down. The unions generally were
blamed for the hold ups of the visi-
tors, and an effort was made to let
the visitors know that not it was
safe for them to come to Des Moines
and that in the bootblack business at
least, the boy scout movement would
be used to see that they got a square
deal. ~
The story was generally believed.
The labor press and the Socialist press
took it up and exploited tito the limit
and l am rather of the opinion that
this story has resulted largely in Civ
ing the boy scout movement a black

the movement is dying out.
Ihave written a number letters
in answer to inquiries on this subject

cIcARMAkERs WIN LONG FIGHT

Peoria, ILL.,, May Tn January, 1910,
the cigarmakers entered into negotia-
lions with the cigar manufacturers for
an adjustment Of the scale. The scale
at that time had been in force for
nearly.eighteen years, and no material
change had been made, although there
had been innumerable changes in the
conditions under which the cigarmak-
ers worked. The new agreement, con-
tanning the new scale and the better
conditions, was presented to all the
manufacturers, most of whom signed
up, but one firm refused to agree. OF
course the union men struck against
this firm and now. after having been
manufacturing non. union cigars for
three years, the firm has entered into
an agreement with the Cigarmakers'
Union, paying the advanced scale and
employing members of the Cigarmak-
ers' Union only. An interesting Incl
dent of this long strike is that wher
the strike first occurred quite bod,
of cigarmakers were employed, but a.
the settlement only one-fifth of the
original number was employed by the
firms signing the agreement.

BOY SCOUTS BOOT BLACKS.

"Weere the Boy Scouts used to
break up boot-blacks' strike in Des
Moines?" This question has been ask
ed several times and a well informed
comrade sin Des Moines has sent us
the following letter in regard to the
matter:
"The facts are these: Just prior
to the state fair to be held during the
latter part of August, 1911, the pro-
prietors of the shining parlors in Des
Moines served notice on the public
that the price of a shine would be ten
cents during fair time. This announce
ment was simply in line with the gen
eral policy. of restaurant keepers,
BARRIERS and other small business men
to hold up the farmers apd visitors
that come to town on such an occasion
The bootblaeks themselves are not
and were not at the time organized,
and had no hand in it, and likely
would not have profited in the least
by the advanced price.
Shortly after the announcement
was made 0 the increased price, one
of the boy scout captains secured in
interview in the daily papers and an
nounced that he would send the boy

Only recently we have witnessed a
drastic drag net" prosecution of per-
sons guilty of merely transmitting in
| fromation concerning limitations OF
maternity.
SO this avenue was not open to the
| woman school teacher unless she was
willing to subject herself and her med
zeal advisor to the brand of criminal
and the chance of prison sentence.
The processes of Nature being inexor-
able, there remains for her one other
ernative-suicide. But suicide is
also crime in New York state.
With this perfect example of the
justice and protection afforcd to them
by man made laws, it is difficult to IN

the married woman who found it IL
cesary to continue teaching schoo1.
She might have left her husband or
poisoned him
OF course under Socialism child
bearing and child rearing will be re-
garded as valuable~functions and will
be treated accordingly But Social
ism as we all know, is an immoral
and a pernicious doctrine because it
would break up the home"
