"WHY" THE WILLIAMS SCHOOL

Some years ago Mr.. Williams noticed
that business college in Texas was
teaching expert shorthand and training
its graduates to do court reporting and
all that, in eight to twelve WEEKS by
simpliiied shorthand system of their
own.
Being university man and Pitman
writer, he Investigated this New Byrne
System and found that instead of all the
long, tedious combinations of consonants
with weeks of time spent to mark
vowels," Mr.. Byrne took the A, B, C's
and with the five vowels "A, E, |, o, U"
by position like music, he started his
students to writing shorthand in plain
A, B, C English the first day in school,
and it read like print, and with only
fifteen workshops instead of fifteen hun
dred in other systems, and fourteen
rules instead of two hundred, the Byrne
students were writing up to, 200 words
minute in TEN WEEKS. This show
ed such revolution in shorthand that
Mr.. Williams, after much correspond
ence, finally secured the Ohio and Ken
lucky Territory for the new system,
which is rapidly superseding all the
others.
Williams is enrolling in his classes
graduates and students from all the
leading business colleges and shorthand
schools of Cincinnati as fast as they dis
Hcover what this marvellous simplified
shorthand is. They are dropping the old
style systems to get the new high speed
work which commands the advanced sal
aries and naturally the demand for Will
iams graduates is greater than the
supply.
He is now training private secretaries
| for United States Court Judges and
president of university ordered in ad-
vance trained to order for these fine
positions.
1t is of vital Importance to the read
ers of this paper to know where to get
the "Best" in educational lines. The
Williams School ten to twelve weeks
course, to learn expert shorthand and
be placed in a position at $40 to $75 a
month to start is certainly not equaled
by any other Ohio school.
1t merits investigation at least

NO UNION FOR THEM
AIDE, Cobb and Others Against join
ing FederatiOn-PrOpOsed Affilia-
ton of League Declared Danger
Ous-Ninety Well-KnOwn Authors
Have Signed Protest.

New York.-Ninety members of the
Authors League of America have signed
and issued protest against the proposal
to affiliate with the American Federation
of Labor. Included in that number are
many well-known writers, such as Jack
London, George Ade, Cyrus Townsend
Brady, John Burroughs. Winston
Churchill, Hamlin Garland, Emerson
Hough, Joseph c. Lincoln, Brander Mat
thews, Ray Stannard Baker, Samuel G..
Blythe, Irwin S. Cobb, James M. Flagg,
Will Payne, Ida M. Tarbell, Kate Doug
lass Wiggin, Owen Wister and Edward
Mott Wooley.
They denounce the proposed affiliation
as inappropriate, disadvantageous and
dangerous" and assert that those ia.
voring it dwell on the advantages OF
standardized contracts in the publishing
magazine and theatrical business but fail
to show that it would attain any of
these advantages.
A promise that the Authors League
would receive the support of the Fed
Grafton of Labor without any reciprocal
obligation or support is criticised as
"one-sided, unfair and wholly unworthy
of the Authors League"
The question of affiliation was re-
ferred to members of the league last
spring. To be effective the proposal
must be approved at regular meeting
of the league.

porous conditions now prevailing struck

fculty is expected by the men in gaining
their demands. They claim that so per

Some interest was caused by the an

to organize union of the unlicensed
river men in the Ohio and Kanawha
river valleys. The movement grew out
of strike called few days ago, just
as coal shippers were preparing to send
large fleets of coal on their way. Labor
officials in Cincinnati declared that the
movement had not reached Cincinnati as
yet. They say an effort is being made
to better the condition of river men, and
also to organize in an effort to make
steamboat owners adhere closely to Fed
eral regulations.
