UNIoN MUST PAY s2s2.ooe.

WAShlNGlON, ID. c., Jan. g.
The supreme court today sustained
the ruling Of the circuit court OF the
second circuit requiring the United
Hatters Of America pay the d. Z.
Lowe company Of Danbury, Conn,
$252,000 damages under the antitrust
law, which provides for treble dam
ages to anyone injured as result
Of conspiracy to restrain trade.
This is the famous "Danbury Hat
ters case" involving the union right
to boycott and the effectiveness of
the Sherman act to treble damages.
The decision was unanimous. It
puts the union squarely under the
Sherman law. When reading the de-
cision, Justice Holmes said that un-
doubtedly many hatters used the boy
cott In attempting to force the un-
ionization of non-union factories.

redistricting of rural schools, the
right to loan permanent school funds

ton of rural districts of the third
class--those having less than $50 pu-
pills each--there will be no increase
in the levy beyond the 5-mill limit.
Under the plan the weaithier dis
tricts would assist the poorer ones

cept those in Independent city dis
tricts), composed Of from five to nine
persons, elected from the county at
large; the board to be nom partisan;
the term Of office to be at least five
years, and the term arranged 80 that
not more than one-fifth would expire
in one year.
A county superintendent Of schools,
professional educator, shall be
chairman Of the board and the only
member receiving pay. The expendi-
tures Of local funds raised by the sub
districts shall rest with the trustees
subject to the approval of the. coun-
ty board.
Other duties devolving on the coun-
ty board will be:
To have general control and man.
oSShChs VI thc sSnOols VI tne county.
To submit estimates to the regular
county taxing authority of the
amount Of money needed to support
the schools.
To regulate the boundaries of the
school subdistricts Of the county,
making from time to time such al
terations as in its judgment would
serve the best interests Of the coun-
ty system.
To locate and erect school build
ings.
To supply the necessary equip
ment.
To fix the course Of study and Sc.
lect textbooks (using the state course
and state-adopted textbooks in the
states where action has been taken).
To enforce the compulsory educa-
tion laws.
To employ teachers, fx their salar-
les and the salaries Of other en-
ployes.
