MCMILLAN SENIORS PRE-
SENT MEMORIAL TO SCHOOL

~
The senior class of Mcmillan pre-
scented the school with a large beauti-
full stage curtain as a class memoir
ial. Nothing could have been more
appropriate for a gift than the curtain.
The school gives a great many plays
during the year and the curtain that
has been used for several years was
only a temporary one which never
gave satisfaction.
The curtain was presented during
assembly Thursday afternoon. All
of the students were loud in their
praise for the memorial. This is a
custom that has been observed by
every class that has graduated from
Mcmillan and it goes to show an APP
probation for the school.
The senior class gave a short pro-
gram during assembly, that greatly
pleased everyone. Mock commence
ment exercises were held and
diplomas were presented by DR..
Ivanoffe morris Keath). The class
song was composed by Misses Mar
g1erite Thomas, Dorothy Wymore,
and Helen Coatsworth. II is to the
tune: "How Can I Leave Thee"
How can / leave thee
Dear Old Mcmillan High
To the Crimson and Gray
Well eve be true.
Dear Alma Mater ours
So near to our desires
No other can / love.
AS we do thee.
Glass of nineteen sixteen
''frue" let our motto be
Loyal we'll ever remain
When far or near
Our pep will never die
For you Mcmillan High
Let Spirit Of class '16
Ever be supreme.

r. C. Journey, director Of the NUM-
cipal Reference Bureau Of the Uni

A board of health, appointed by
the mayor for two years would con-
sist Of members of the city council,
practicing physicians, a bacteriolo-
gist and the sanitary inspector as a
member Of the ex-officio. 1t would De
the duty of the board to keep the
council posted on the sanitary cOndi-
lions Of the city and to aid the in
spector in the enforcement Of the
health regulations.
Ordinances are recommended to
do away with insanitary outhouses;
requiring manure, garbage and other
refuse to be kept in fly-proof con
tainers; regulating the distance at
which stables may be built from
dwellings; requiring tenants to keep
their premises free from the accumu-

mendations carried out at the city's

COMPULSORY MEDIATION LAW
Is BONDAGE, TRAINMEN SAY

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Bitter de-
nunciation of the proposed compulsory
mediation law. modelled along lines of the
Canadian law which President Wilson has
Incorporated In his legislative program to
prevent the threatened railway strike. was
contained in statement given out today
by the four heads of the railway brother
hoods, Messrs. Stone, Carter, Garretson and
Lee. In part the statement says:
Since the abolition of slavery no more
effectual means has been devised for in.
suring the bondage of the working man
than the passage of compulsory investt-
cation acts of the character Of the Canadian
industrial disputes act. In 1910 the men
upon 80 railroads In eastern territory pre-
sented demands for an increase of wages
The companies refused to deal concertedly
and 1t was taken up with the Individual
roads. Three of the properties were
Canadian. so negotiations took place In tho
United States and In Canada. The negotia-
tions in the United States included mediation
and arbitration. On July 10 following
final settlement was made on all American
roads. On that date q strike took place on
the Grand Trunk, a Canadian property.
This was due to delays which the employers
were able to interpose under the Canadian
law.
Moreover, the period of investigation
eternally Is utilized by the employer to in
trench himself In his effort to defeat the
demands of the men. In consequence of
this attitude disregard for the men and
Ignoring the provisions of such laws has
led to placing thousands OF men in the atti-
tude of lawbreakers, as the passage Of laws
which induce men to open violation thereof
Is deadly injury to nation because Il
breds universal contempt for the law.
I'm the present strife, IL such an act
were passed, all that would be necessary
would be for the power of attorney to be
withdrawn from the national conference
committee of managers by the individual
roads and then immediate necessity for $50
investigating boards would be created, or
II only limited number were provided for
men would be compelled to remain for years
In involuntary servitude IL they obeyed the
provisions of such a law"
