H. p. Churches Ask
That Practice Be
Stopped
SAY PARENTS
ARE DEFIED
Ministers Also Object
to Dances On Prayer
Meeting Night

Dancing in the public schools OF
Highland Park was the subject OF
animated discussion. Monday night,
when. In a meeting of the Federation
Of Mems clubs of Highland Park
churches, so members who we're
present went on record as being op-
posed to the practice. A petition
was drawn up in the form OF a re-
quest to the board of education OF
the village, asking that the dancing
he discontinued during school hours
and In the school buildings.
Objection to the dancing was rails
ed on the score that teachers insist.
ed on teaching their young charges
dancing regardless of the parents
wishes in the matter. and that in
some instances where the parents
openly objected the dancing lessons
we're given in private. Ministers in
attendance at the meeting, who
spoke upon the subject. declared
that although they did not object TO
the dancing In itself, they thought
that the school was not the proper
place for teaching the terpsichorean
art.
Included in the request TO the
board of education also was a clause
regarding the Wednesday night
dances that are held by the teachers
in the schools. The ministers OBJ
jected to these affairs because We'd
nesday Is the night on which the
mid.week church services are held
and the dances. they said, kept many
away from the services on those
evenings.
Every Protestant church in High
land Park was represented at the
meeting. and all present were unani'
nous in agreeing that the school
dancing should be discontinued.
Walter J. Hoshal. campaign man
ager for the Wayne County Anti
Saloon league, addressed the meet
ing and received the assurance OF
oil present that they would actively
support the dry" cause In the fight
next November.

Machinists Demand g.
Hour Day and No Re-
ductiOn In Wages
1,4OO EMPLOYEES
LAY DOWN TOOLS
Pickets Are Employed,
But No Violence Is
Reported

Detroit manufacturers are facing a
serious shortage of machlnists in
their shops.
In addition to the already widely
felt scarcity of skilled laborers,
strikes during the past week, which
resulted In the walking out of 400
machinists, tying up number OF
plants and seriously Gripping 9TH
ers, have left many employers in a
quardary. with thousands of orders
for mechanical products on their
h1nds and no workmen 10 man their
machines.
The "eight-hour-day," at the same
wrges now paid for the day OF nine
or ten hours, is the slogan of the
strikers. The movement is thought
to have had it's origin in the organ
izing activities of the Machinists'
union recently inaugurated among
the automobile workers.
These men, who formerly worked
at wages fixed indiscriminately by
the foremen at the tie of their EN-
ployent. have joined with enthu.
siasm in the movement started by
the machinists' organizers and now
machinists in nearly every automo-
bile plant of any importance in the
city are organized and prepared to
strike In unison for the right to
work eight hours AT standard scale
<,f IL
that the automobile workers will
have to resort TO any stringent meth
DDS, as most factories already are
operating under conditions favorable
to the men and organizing of the
machinists in these shops is said
to be merely protective measure.
Since week ago Monday. strikes
have been taking place III some of
the largest factories in town. The
last of these tc go out were the ma
chinists in the plant OF the Hayes
Manufacturing Co, who struck Mon
day noon. At their factory 40 men
went out. In addition 10 these, 80
ca. penters, employed by the same
nrm, struck last FRIDAY.
In the Detroit Gear ard Machine
Co. plant out OF 425 men who were
employed there only 80 men remain
at work, according to officials OF the
Machinists' union. Other plants in
volved are the Murchey Manufacture
ing Co., the Michigan Machine Co,
the Michigan Cash Register Co,
Kraetke Brothers Co, Detroit Tool
Co., Stoddard-Jakel Co, Blodgett-
Sanderson Co. Mailometer Co, Ex-
celsior Tool Co, Eclipse Counter
bore Co., Kelsey Wheel Co, Indus
trial Electric Manufactures Co, and
a number of others.
All the strikes have been effected
without trouble and disturbance, anu
no friction has arisen between the
workers and employers, although al
most of the factories affected pick
cts have been placed on duty by the
unions.
