ARLINGTON SCHOOL BOARD
APPEALS TO THE SUPERIOR
COURT FROM LIZZIE JONES'
DECISION.

On Tuesday of this week a major
ity of the Arlington school board
Comrades Grimm and Morris-ap-
pealed to the superior court from the
decision of Lizzie Jones in the Ian
caster case.
The board discharged Lancaster for
cause, and Mrs. Jones contended that
Lancaster could not be discharged
without her permission, a decision
concurred in by the court. Her con
sent was withheld on the ground that
Lancaster was an able, faithful and
desirable man for the job.
The school board begs to differ.
And thereby hangs a law suit.
The school directors claim to hold
absolute proofs, including some letters
signed by Lancaster, Of the gentle
mans unfitness for the position Of
trust and responsibility which he now
holds by grace of County superintend-
ent Jones.

SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY
MINERS PERISH IN
MINE FIRE.
Gas Explosion Occurs While 931
Men Are in Great Coal Mine
in Cardiff, Wales.

Doubtless all of our readers will
have already read of the disaster of
the terrible mine accident near Car
diff, Wales, by the time the Common
wealth is delivered
Five hundred and sixty men and
boys were entombed. 1t is practic-
ally certain that long before the
flames could reach them, they would
have died painful but still compara-
lively merciful deaths by suffocation.
The fire followed a gas explosion
just after the day shift of miners had
descended the shaft. According to
official figures there were 931 men in
the mine when the blast occurred.
This terrible accident could have
been prevented had proper precau-
tions been taken. But safety meas
ures cost money, and coal is mined
for profits, not just for use. SO long
as the capitalist system continues
there is no hope for the enslaved
working class. They must take such
work as is offered them, or starve!

AN ARE FLATLY DENIED
BY DEFENDANT.

In making several charges against
Comrade Buchanan supplementary to
those filed on September 5, 1913, Mrs.
Lizzie Jones, superintendent of com
mon schools of Snohomish county, de-
clares. in paragraph two of the inn
posing legal document sent to the
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton, that:
IF. L. Buchanan engaged in a dis
graceful street disturbance and fistic
combat in the streets of Arlington in
said Snohomish county, and was ar
rested and confined in the Arlington
Jail over night, then taken before the
justice court in said city of Arlington
and plead guilty to the charge of as
sault and battery and was fined as
provided by law; that during the trial
in said court the said F. L. Buchanan
conducted himself in a most disgrace
full and disorderly manner by attempt
ing to stop the court and get permis-
sion to engage in a fistic combat out
side and beat up officers who had him
in custody"
In paragraph three it is stated that
''on the 30th day of September, 1918,
the said F. L. Buchanan was arrested
and taken into custody in the town of
Arlington for unlawfully taking charge
of the schools in said city and raising
a disturbance therein; putting the pu-
pills and teachers in fear, and when
he was brought into court, signed a
written agreement not to further in
terfere with the schools in said city
until his matter now pending before
your excellency (the "excellency" is,
no doubt, Brother Faucett's) can be
heard" etc.
Exhibit A" charges that Buchanan
alll rs.lg5 met indtdailS il. tie streets
for assault" and that Buchanan was
fined five dollars and costs, amount
ing to $13.75.
Exhibit B" sets forth that George
Lancaster had charged Buchanan with
disturbing the school in Arlington, but
that said Buchanan had agreed, if

away from the school until the legal
controversy should be settled.

CHENY NORMAL BOARD MAY
NOW REHEAR BUCHANAN
CASE.
CASE.

The Buchanan case was up before
State Superintendent of Schools Mrs.
Josephine Preston, at Olympia, last
Tuesday. After hearing all the testi-
mony, the attorney general took under
advisement the question whether the
case should be heard by the superin-
tendent or the Cheney Normal school
board Buchanan, who was dismissed
from teaching the Fortson school for
misconduct" graduated from the
Cheney Normal school and the board
of that institution therefore has power
to revoke his license to teach.
The question of who should prop
erly hear the case first, came up after
all testimony had been taken. The
hearing occupied the morning and
part of the afternoon sessions. Mrs.
Lizzie Jones, Snohomish county SUI
perintendent of schools, who filed the
complaint with the state, testified.
She recited the fact that Buchanan
had entered the Arlington school
trouble and circulated a petition for
the dismissal of superintendent Ian
caster Of the Arlington schools. After
his dismissal for having engaged in a
fist fight with John Fahey in Airing
ton September 4, he is alleged to have
made his threats against Mrs. Jones,
using the long distance phone for the
purpose.
"a viii Get You"
q will get you just as l got Ian
caster and as l am going to get Lam
son. Buchanan was quoted as saying.
Mrs. Jones said she was not greatly
alarmed Lamson is a member of the
Fortson school board, who caused the
suspension of Buchanans teaching
certificate when he failed to get back
from Arlington to open his school on
time.
Buchanan also testified The capi-
talist reporter states that Buchanan
justified his actions in every case.
When he had flnlshed Assistant AltoI-
.ney General John F. Wilson asked him
if he would abide by the decision of
the state superintendent.
IF the Socialist party wants to take
the case higher ! viii so even to the
supreme court of the United States
with it, he replied.
Then it was suggested that the Nor
NAL board might hear the case, hav'
