School Board Meeting.

There was an interesting meet
ing of the School Board held here
last Saturday, which was due to
the charges brought by Supt-slect.
F. o. Chavez, against Principal
Rico of the Brsaux Bridge High
School
At a previous meeting of the
Board, a resolution was adopted
giving Prof. Chavez two days each
month to visit aud inspect the
schools in order to acquaint him
self with the working Of the
schools which will be under his
charge whom he assumes his du-
tics as School Superintendent.
When hs called upon Prof. Rice
to inspect bis school he refused to
recognize the authority OF Mr..
Chavez and protested against this
inspection, Mr.. Rice taking the
stand that tho act OF the Board
was illegal, not having the right
in law to have two Superinten.
dents at tho same time.
When the charge was made the
matter was discussed by both sides
several citizens taking part 10 the
discussion, after which the Board
dismissed Mr.. Rice.
We believe tho Board did the
only thing that was left to do, &c
maintain their authority and th'
dscepline of the schools. We d.
not recognize the right OF Mr.
Rice to pass judgment upon th'
legality of the action Of the Board
10 such small matters as this, anC
the Board had no other cause ! eff
to it except to discharge Mr.. Rice
and We feel satisfied that ever,
right thinking man will approv'
their action, even if it is causing
some little interference in th
school over which MIR. Rice pre-
sided. g.

Success comes from good work
oftensr than it does from good
luck.

LIKE TO HEAR THIS?

Galesburg, ILL.,, Nov. 12.-The edit
ors of labor papers are in great meas
ure those men who are devoted to
the organized labor movement from
deep convictions. 1t is also we'll
known fact that so far as financial
remuneration is concerned the labor
paper is not field productive of very
great financial success. This has
been the history, but, as the move
ment has expanded and the field
broadened, a greater degree of success
has been attained than in the past.
1t is gratifying, therefore, to repro
duce an item recently contained in
the Galesburg Qll) News, which
says: 'The regular quarterly meet
ing of the board of directors of the
Labor News company was held in the
office of the company, with all di-
rectors present, except one. Reports
of the manager and auditors were
read, showing the affairs of the COM
pany to be in good shape, and a 6 per
cent dividend on the capital stock
was ordered paid"

MACHINISTS
4.
ENTERTAIN
LOCAL ORGANIZATION LIS
TEN TO INTERNATIONAL
OFFICERS LESS STRIKES
WITH PERFECT UNIONS,
SOON REACH 100000 MARK.

President VIM. H. Johnston, of
Washington, D. c., president of the
International Association of Machin-
lists, A. o. Wharton, of ST. Louis, presi-
dent of the railway employees depart
ment of the American Federation of
Labor, and Thos. Van Lear, of st.
Paul, business representative of the
employees of the seven principal rail
way systems in the United States,
were guests of the Everett Machin-
lists Union at a reception in the Labor
Temple Wednesday night. All three,
and especially President Johnston,
are widely known. They had intended
to return on the late car but were
persuaded by local union men to re-
main over night and returned to Sc
attic Thursday morning.
That men succeed when they have
faith in themselves and in their fell
low men was the theme of President
JohnSton's address. He dwelt at
some length on the history of union
ism, pointing out its advances, and
pointing to it's goal. When unionism
is perfected there will be no such
things as strikes, he stated Strikes
then will be impossibilities. Each
step in advance makes strikes fewer,
he stated, and improves the condition
of working men. The unions are de-
veloping thinking, reasoning men who
can debate and reason with the heads
of corporations, and can accomplish
more by diplomacy than strikes ever
have done. Craftsmen are becoming
self reliant, through education, and
are gaining more confidence in them
selves and others.
President Johnston expressed conf
dence in the future of the Machinists'
union, which he expects to soon reach
the 100000 mark. He noted the fact
that this union is one of the most
rapidly growing Of all trades associa-
tions and is proving most satisfactory
to the members.
Following the reception and speech
making the meeting adjourned to the
banquet room where the machinists
had provided a bounteous spread.

COOPERATION.

Washington, Nov. 12.-The federal
industrial commission is making ar
rangements with the various bureaus
and departments of the government
that are engaged in research work
whereby duplication can be avoided
and mutual assistance rendered. There
is a general desire on the part of the
bureaus and departments to render
whatever service they can to the in
dustrial commission, and with this as
sistance the commission will be en-
abled to prosecute its work with
method and celerity.

TRACTION EMPLOYEES EX-
EMPTED.

Austin, Tex, Nov. 12.-The state in
dustrial accident board has held that
street railway companies do not come
within the purview of the Texas work
mems compensation act; that they are
exempt under the provisions, which
provide that common carriers are not
subject to the new law, thus making
all steam and street railways exempt.
The board further construed the new
law to exempt ranches because an eX-
emption is made of farm laborers.
There are hundreds of ranches lin
Texas which employ more than five
workmen, and some of the ranchmen
wanted to come under the law, but
the board says the law does not in
clude them. Another ruling is as fol-
lows: Where an employer, corpora
tion, or otherwise, operates a number
of plants of a like industry and these
plants are entirely disconnected as to
their work or their employees, and
there is no interchange of employment
between the plants, then it is optional
with such employer to insure all the
said plants or any one of them, This
rule, however, does not apply to a con-
tractor carrying on more than one
contract at the same time.

CONFIRMED BY SENATE.

Washington, Nov. 12.-The senate
has confirmed the appointment OF
Frank McManamy as chief inspector
of locomotive boilers. This confirma.
tion was held up for some time, owing
to the fact that the Boilermakers pro-
tested against the appointment of Nc
Manamy because he was locomotive
engineer, the boilermakers insisting
that a member of their craft should
receive the appointment because the
Boilermakers are employed in con-
structing locomotive boilers

Hazelton, Pa, Nov 12.-Hardly
wheel turned on October 80 in the an
thracite coal fields of Pennsylvania.
The miners celebrated Mitchell Day
in honor of the anniversary of the sue
cessful termination of the strike of
1900, the first conducted in the hard
coal belt under the leadership of John
Mitchell, then president of the United
Mine Workers of America. In procla-
nations issued from the union head
quarters from the three anthracite
districts all miners were urged to re-
main die on Mitchell Day, except
those whose services were necessary
for the operation of pumps and other
necessary machinery.

DEAL WITH
IMMIGRATION
A. F. OF L. CONVENTION
rs URGED BY ORGANIZED
LABOR TO ASK FOR ADE-
QUATE STATIONS ON THE
COAST.

The adoption of a resolution Of
fered by California delegate to the
Western immigration Conference Sat
urday afternoon last which calls upon
congress to enlarge the scope of the
Chinese exclusion act so that it may
apply to all Asatic peoples, including
the Japanese. was the most drastic
action taken by the conference in its
final session in the Labor Temple
Paul Scharrenberg, of the California
Federation of Labor, was the author
of the resolution, which he offered
from the floor shortly before adjourn
ment, after the resolutions committee
had finished it's report.
THE genlemen's agreement between
the United States and Japan is not
satisfactory, and the settlement of the
Hindu immigration problem is still
up in the air." said Mr.. Scharrenberg.
"If American labor is to be protected
rigid act, excluding Asiatics, should
be passed.
There was little discussion of the
resolution, and it was approved al.
most unanimously. 1t will be pre-
sented to the convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, among others
passed, and the conference will ask
its Endorsement
The immigration delegates agreed
that federal law should be enacted
providing that all emigrants must be
able to read and write their own Ian
guage before being admitted to this
country. Early appropriation of suf-
ficient money by congress to con-
struct and maintain adequate immi-
grafton stations at the Pacific coast
ports of entry to provide for the in
flux of foreigners after the Panama
canal opens, was one of the principal
resolutions adopted.
In general, the committee from the
conference, composed of K. P Marsh
and P. w. Dowler of the Washington
Federation of Labor; Lon Oe Var
mond, of the Portland Typographical
Union; ]. G. Brown, of the Interna-
tional Shingle Weavers' Union, and
Olaf A. Tveitmoe, of the California

mend to the labor federation more
