SCHOOL PENSION LAW
EXPLAINED BY BAISH
Retirement Does Not Affect Con-
button District Must Make
to Fund

Harrisburg, April 25.--Pennsylvania' $
1900 school boards are being asked
hy pr. II. II. Baish, secretary of the
state teachers retirement board TO
avoid dropping teachers who may be
near the retirement age under the i'm
preston that when the teachers are
pensioned 1t will mean an additional
tax upon the district
"When the question of election Of
teachers and other school employees for
the next term is under consideration, it
is important that there should be no
misunderstanding in reference to the
provisions OF the retirement act" Doctor
Baish says. lie continues:
THE employment Of teachers who are
near the retirement age does not in
any way affect the contribution which
a local board district will make TO the
retirement fund This contribution is
based upon the amount contributed by
the teachers employed in that district
and is not affected by the number OF
employees retired while I'm the service
20 the retirement fund Is approximately
Lnc-half OF the amount contributed by
teachers Of the district.
1T is a mistake to avoid the employ
mcnt of teachers who are near the re-
tireuent age II they are qualified to
teach. Such teachers will be retired
when eligible for retirement and no
ute more or less to the fund because
of their retirement. All contributions
10 the retirement fund are based upon
the salaries Of teachers who are In ac-
tive service, and not upon the number
who are retired"

Six ucw railroad spikes aud one steel

her Company in Aberdeen, were wit

camps and mills OF this section, undoubt-
oily che act OF the radical element of
the I. w. w, steps TO drive which cle-
mCnt out Of the community were taken
last week by committee composed for
the most part, It is said. Of men who
work in the camps and mills and whose
safety is jeopardized and whose efforts
to speed up lumber production for the
program of the War Department are
more or less nullifed.
Perhaps fifty similar cases have been
reported within ninety days in the GrayG
Harbor district, which supplies prob
ably half the spruce now being pro-
duccd for Government use in this
country. \ steel rasp sunk into an
airplane spruce log being sawed at the
mill of the Grays Harbor Lumber Com
pany. in Hoquiam, caused damage TO the
saws estimated at $1,000. on this oc-
casion the head saw, instead of being
stripped of teeth. was stripped into rib.

ribbon being of such size that II circle
man without touching him, according
to the report OF the matter made at the
time.
Donkey engines have been drained in
an effort TO burn out the crown plates
and emery has been placed in oil in
tended for fabrication OF machinery of
donkey engines in the camps and Of the
machinery at the mills, the intent being
of course, to ruin the bearings Of the
engines and other machinery.
Because Of the activities of the dis
loyal element there evidently has been
organized among the workers of the mills
and camps a committee which has de-
termined to do what legal means have
failed to do and quietly TO rid this
section of the State of the dsloyal ele-
ment. The first act of this committee
was the breaking up of the headquarters
of the I. W. W. in Aberdeen. the chief
rendezvous in this section, and the burn
ing Of the furniture and literature found
in the rooms. The second step was the
rounding up of half a dozen known
workers and escorting them to the city
border. with instructions to keep going

from unimpeachabe sources that in
order to bring this economy about the
Pacific Coast Petroleum War Service
Commission has recommended to the
National Commission at Washington
that by means of the priority schedule
Of the fuel administration, classes Z

there would he available. according to
paper estimate, 97,O0O.0 600 barrels OF fuel
oil during the next year. with con-
sumption at the present monthly aver
age. 96,OO0O0O barrels Of this viii be
used, leaving margin Of only million
barrels. Conditions Of transportation
and production are such, however, that
the output probably will be less than
these figures and the consumption con-
sldcrably greater.
Hence, II is expected that within the
next few days the fuel administration
will through Pacific Coast Adm'nistra-
tor Folsom, order the supply to classes
seven to twelve stopped. This order
will affect, among other plants, manu-
faCturers Of agricultural implements,
