While we have reason to be proud
of the material gathered in our school
it is gratifying to note the contribution
that the old town is making to educa.
tional interest in other places, and
linking the present with the past when
we were the Athens of the South in
the eyes of our section. Ten of our
girls have gone forth as teachers, all
occupying positions of Importance and
three of our boys have chosen this as
their way of entering the worlds work.
Most of them having graduated at our
high school, seven of our girls and
eight of our boys have gone to more
advanced schools. This list may not
be complete for there may be those
whose names have not been added to

C0RDOVAN TREASURER
 ANCHORAGE SCHOOL BOARD

Five hundred votes were cast at the election to choose directors for the newly created school district at An chorage. There was but one ticket in the field, hence the vote is remark able in that it shows the interest taken by the residents of Anchorage in the matter of school facilities for the town.
 The ticket was:
 For director-Mrs. w. T. Normile.
 For treasurer-M. Finkelstein.
 For Clerk-A. J. Wendler.
 The board will immediately take up the question of a public school and the plan is to begin a school term this coming fall. A corp of three teachers, it is figured, will be required to ade- quately perform the work, due to the number of children of school age now living there.

STRIKING cIoARMAKERS ARE
CHARGING CRUELTY
ARE

Charges Of beating and arresting
pickets without adequate cause have
been hurled in the strike at the La
Kurba Cigar Co. plant, 229 N. State,
where the workers, members of the
Progressive Cigar Makers Union and
The international Cigar Makers
Union, walked out when the bosses
attempted pay cut.
According to Charles Winfield of
the Progressive Union, of which most
of the strikers are members, the po-
lice have beaten boy pickets because
they spoke to the non-union workers
who took the places of the strikers.
The union men expect to Offset
these tactics by letting the girls who
went on strike do the picketing. here
after. Several arrests have been
made, the union strikers taking jury
trials through their attorney, VIM.
E. Rodriguez.
The trouble, according to the union
heads, is the result of an attempt to
cut the wages of the cigar makers
from 81 to $3.50 per thousand. Dis
satisfaction also has resulted from
the discharge of girl who, the union
men say, was fired because she re-
sented the advances of one of her
bosses.
