SCHOOL BOARD WORK
The school board yesterday did the
following work:
President Collins declared he would
urge acquisition hereafter of whole
block when site for new school was
obtained, so the adequate playground
and breathing space might be OBJ
tanned.
Chairman Otis announced that
buildings and grounds committee
proposed deVoting all available en-
ergy this year to providing the west
side with newer and more nearly ade-
quate school facilities.
Time clock for educational division
employees in central offices approved.
West Pullman Parents and Teach
ers' association granted permission
to provide lunches for children in the
school there.
Approval given plan for wider use
of school gymnasiums; they will be
kept open an extra hour and a half
to begin with.
Began practice of dividing salaries
into twelve monthly payments in
stead of paying total in ten.
Urged wider publicity to school
board affairs.
Plan to allow parochiaI school pu-
pills to take advantage of public
school facilities referred to finance
committee.
Voted to reinstate Harriet Schnei-
der, former teacher, if she would
drop suits against certain school Of
fcials.

these if the poor man wouldn't work
to produce them.
Is that such a hard matter to solve
that it must be called an unfath-
enable problem? Itlook so true that
I'm positive it's a fact A little do
ing in the right direction would
settle it for good.
If these giant captains Of industry
would start the wheel going and pay
their help good living wages they
would have no trouble selling all they
have to sell at a profitable price to
the American people alone.
That would settle quickly and in
definitely the hard times problem and
the paUper and crime question also.
if I had the work and sufficient pay
I would buy a great many articles
that am unable to buy now, and
there are millions like myself in the
same boat. Changing the tax sys-
TEN alone would produce no great
change as far as adequate justice is
concerned, and not much better con-
ditiOns would prevail than prevail
now, and under no tax correction
without a radical change of the en-
tire system will they prevail
No doubt the single tax system
would do great good, yet there would
be some great factor missing to in
sure complete justice.
After all our studying and trying
to find out what we originated from,
and what we are here for, we are
doing but little better than we ever
did.
What matters it if we originated
from the monkey or the grounding
if we could get our just dues, which |
would be what we produce when we
work at some useful work?

PUT THEM ON TRIAL!-Follow-
ing is the indictment of the Rockefel-
lers by the federal industrial relations
commission:
political domination, intimidation
of the governor, contempt for gov
eminent and the American people as
a whole, prostitution of the state to
private interests, utter contempt and
disregard for state and federal con-
situations as well as statute laws; the
horror of the Ludlow massacre; ex-
pIoitation oflheIpIess miners by eco
nomic pressure and the ViIer forms of
larceny; the attempt to make it ap-
pear that the contemporaries had met
in conference representatives of the
strikers when such was not the case"
These things were shown, says
Chairman Walsh, by the testimony of
young Rockefeller and his personal
ieutenants.
