with it. When the proposition came
before the city council this summer fol
their consideration, they turned it down
and were in favor of giving Peter Gropel
H. who teaches boys band, two oil
these sixteen concerts, the amount to be
deducted from the appropriation usually
given to the Barre Citizens band; that
would leave a sum too small to maintain
an organization and be able TO pay their
bills, therefore the band disbanded.
This Peter Gropelli is an expelled
member of our local with fine of $50
against him for violating one of our
rules. Mayor Gordon, Aldermen Rossi
and Reynolds, union granitecutters, voted
for Gropelli, as also did Alderman Shurt-
left. Alderman Reynolds was notified by
our secretary of the standing of Gropelli,

appeared before the city council in favor
of the boys band were John Callaghan,

the situation and know who are response.
bic for the lack Of support given to the

are in sympathy with the boys band

port and encouragement, but not to en-
ter into competition with a union organi-
cation.

THE BAND QUESTION.
Revived by Employment of Band t.
Head Labor Parade.

With the city council at grips over
the motor truck question, the band ques
ton has been relegated to the rear at
city hall, but the controversy started
when the Christofer Colombo band
dipped in its oar for a portion of the
concert appropriation has spread to 9th
er fields. Last weeks announcement, in
connection with the Gompers mass meet
ing in the opera house Wednesday, that
a union band would head the parade was
significant of the stand that organized
labor in Barre has taken in the matter.
Inquiry disaloses the fact that the per-
sonnet of the band that is to march
Wednesday evening includes many mem
bers of the Barre Citizens band and adj
ditional light on the situation is shed
in communication received by organized
labors representatives. Here is the let
ter as released by the local branch of the
Musicians protective union:

ton with sending our report to our head
quarters to send also to each local in

ganized labor.
"To explain; The Barre Citizens band
was union organization in good stand

TWO WITNESSES.-The Fedora
ton of Women High School Teach
ers have delegates in the Chicago
Federation of Labor sitting with
those from the Chicago Teachers
Federation. The two declarations are
sisters. An. official statement of the
time and activities of the high school
teachers organization for 1914-1916
says this:
Legislative work is recognized as
an essential part of the program of
any live teachers organization. Last
year we opposed the bill for the dual
system of education and supported
the I-2O bill for increased revenue for
the schools, the bills for a nine-hoUr
day for women, minimum wage, one
days rest in seven, raising Of the
compulsory school age. In regard to
all these bills we sent letters to con-
gressmen individually, as a legisla-
tive committee and as an organsza-
ton. We exerted our strength es-
peciaIly against the Cooley bill for
the introduction of a dual system of
education. The committee on Voca-
tional education planned and car
ried out a benefit performance Of the
Yeomen of the Guard at the Oudito-
rum, the proceeds Of which were
used to support the unit system. We
sent a representative to Springfield
to work against the Cooley bill and
for the I-2O. We contributed to the
expense Of Mr.. Roman, who appeared
with Mr.. Cooley before the senate
committee and was largely instru-

ass n, and you reading this now get
a vivid flash of the social forces now
grappled in Chicago. Says the Man
UfactUrers' News this week:
Pres. Loeb, John w. Eckhart and
other trustees are fighting for the in
dependence of the schools against
the domineering and pernicious infiu-
ences which threaten the efficiency
of our schools and the liberty Of non
union school teachers VINO are tired
of the threats and petty prosecutions
of organizers Of the teachers union"
Organization means power to re-
sist. The proposition Of the manu-
facturers and their man, Jake Loeb,
is that such power must be broken
before it goes too far. That's one
bottom cinch in the whole fight
against Margaret Haley, the Teach
ers' Federation and it's members
dropped from public schools service,
though Supt Shops markings
showed them to be excellent" "su-
perior' and good" as teachers.
WHO'S A HERO? - The school
board president IN chicago pictures
himself to the public as a hero, a man
of deep convictions defending the
rights of school children and parents
against what he calls 'pernicious" Ia
Dor unions. He calls on 'red-blooded
men" to help him. And he says all
honest men" ought to be with him.
If it's red-bloOded to fight women
by taking away their jobs by ambush
tactics Of savages, then Jake Loeb is
red-blOOded.
If it's honest to wreck civil service
and give merit rule the chloroform
while the right of the school board
to take such action is still being con-
sidered by the higher courts, then
Jake Loeb is honest.
If it's a good thing for children in
the public schools to have teachers
fired of the job because the super

The Anton Tanberg farm, 16 miles
southeast of Dickinson, presents the
appearance of one of the most thrifty
and prosperous farm homes in this
portion Of the country. The improve
ments are all up-to-date. A cozy and
pretty cottage was recently built and
is handsomely furnished. A large
barn to accommodate the many head
of horses stands to the south and is
connected with an immense cement
silo, filled almost to the brim with
corn ensilage. Every week Mr.. Tan
berg makes trip to Dickinson in his
Ford car, bringing in cream. All
kinds of modern machinery and sheds
are in evidence and to the north
stands well advanced grove Of trees.
A fine bunch of hogs is being raised
at the farm, as we'll as cattle. Some
time ago Mr.. Tanberg purchased his
fathers interest in the farm but the
aged couple still reside at the home
place, only a few steps from their
sons residence, where they are given
the most kind and considerate care.
On Sunday Mr.. and Mrs. Tanberg en-
tertained number of friends to din
ner in honor of the 82nd birthday Of

his age, is still very spry, having done
most of the moving the past season.
The old couple are among the early

of the heavy Cadillac car threw it
against the outside bank, the car
turning over on it's side. No one in

Fixing the Weak Spots
Around the Barn

Most every barn has them. They
happen suddenly sometimes, and then
again they are merely the result Of
constant wear and tear.
By fixing them when they are first
noticed, the cost of up-keep can be
quite materially reduced because
small weak spots that are not at
tended to usually grow to big ones
soon.
