CITY BOARD TO ACT
IN LABOR DISPUTES

some time ago by City Attorney
Harmon, as a means by which the
city could officially interest itself
in local labor disputes> Altho the
board will not have official pow
er to settle any disagreements be-
tween working men and their en-
ployes, it will be in a position to
learn both sides of a controversy
and bring together the factions.
1t will act similarly to the me-
diation board created under the
Adamson act, holding regular ses-
sions whenever there is any labor
dispute to be settled, and calling
witnesses.

WAR MAKES MANY
CHANGES IN SCHOOL

Tacoma schools will open Mon
day.
The fact that America Is at war
will not interfere with the IN
struction of the city's boys and
girls; nor will 1t result in a de-
crease in the, total attendance,
Supt. .Geiger believes.
The gaps In the ranks caused by
the calling of some of the older
high school boys into the army,
and by older boys and girls going
to work, will be filled by new
pupils added by the increase In
Tacoma's population.
The war, instead of retarding
school work, will have the effect
of centering the efforts of the
boys and girls on subjects that
can be put to practical. valuable
use.
Courses Revised.
Courses have been revised thru
out all grades, so as to leave out
obsolete subjects of little practi-
cal value, and retaining only es-
sentials.
In addition, the children will
have a chance to take a real par,
In war activities. The home econ.
omic and manual training courses
have been shaped to give the boys
and girls an active part in Red
Cross work. Under Supervisor,
Post and Miller, they will make
Red Cross supplies and boxes.
