Daylight Saving

The coal shortage, as a correspondent of The
Tribune points out, gives special emphasis to the
arguments heretofore made in favor Of setting the
clocks forward.
One hour of daylight saving, beginning May 1,
he says, would save 100000 tons of coal. We are
not informed to the accuracy of his figures, but
the saving would, undoubtedly be great.
The country is now observing lghtless nights,
but there is reason, when the days grow longer,
why should not take advantage of an extra hour
OF daylight-which can be had without expense
and without hardship. Congress should pass day

James III. Brady

AS the remains of James II. Brady, u S. senator
from Idaho, are laid at rest, his passing will be
mourned in Tacoma with deep feeling by women cit
liens especially.
AS governor of Idaho he was adviser to Mrs.
Emma Smith DeVoe of Tacoma, who planned and
led the victorious campaign for woman suffrage in
Washington back in 1910 When woman suffrage
had carried every county in the state, Brady was
the man who answered the question, "What are
you going to do now that you have the vote?" by
issuing call to the governors of the other four
suffrage states to a convention in Tacoma to orga-
nize national association of women voters OF
America.
Gov. Brady himself called the convention to or
der Jan. IA, 1911, at the home of Mrs. John @.
Mason. And there the commissioners named by the
governors of the suffrage states adopted brief
constitution.
So the National Council of Women Voters was
formed. With it the name of Senator James Fl.
Brady always will be connected He was one of its
founders and organizers.

NEW HOUSING WILL DEMAND
 NEW SCHOOLS
Date for Opening of Public Schools Set for Sept. g by
 Board of Education.

School children will be seen getting out their school bags next week and looking up text books, as the Board of Education last night announced the opening of the public school to be Sept. g, for an 192 day session. The report of the registration for last year showed more stability of numbers of the schools than the two proceeding years, and an increase in total number of scholars.
 Housing developments will mater ially affect the situation in Bridgeport, according to Superintendent Slawson. The schools in the vicinity of the new homes are already full to capacity, or overcrowded. The development at Carroll and Connecticut avenues will demand at least four new school rooms. The one at East Main street and Boston avenue will demand ac- commodation for 400 children, as the nearest schools, Huntington Road and Garfield, are both filled. Fairfield
 avenue and Brewster street houses,
 near the Black Rock schools, will
 overcrowd them as they already have
 two classes on half session.
 l Mir. Hanson of the Trade School
 has extended the privileges of the
 school and part time work in connec-
 ton with the factories will be inaug-
 ufated for the industrial training of
 scholars
 l A course in patriotic literature and
 training will be established for the
 benefit of children of foreign born
 parents and the special course in the
 Junior High school classes will be ex- tended to five periods a week.

 MT. Weeks, superintendent of the forge shop, started the campaign there. He was ably assisted by MT. Tutoh and MT. Judge, who helped reach the desired 100 per cent
 The campaign as yet has not been extended to all parts of the plant, but judging by the support already given the sale of Thrift Stamps. the Ord- nance expect to drive well over 100 per cent, pledging in all a weekly total of about $2,000.

GET AFTER THE MINE Stacker s.

There Is important war work for
Governor Harding and the state coun-
Gil Of defense and for the national fuel
administrator to do In rounding up
slackers among the owners Of coal
mines in this state. For some inexpli-
cable reason the mines are not being
operated full tine and coal is not
coming to the retail dealers as fast as
the people are willing to take it awaJ.
The secretary Of the district exemp-
ton board complains that many coal
miners are being put in class for i'm
mediate military service because "Any
number Of miners inform rs they have
not worked at their trade more than
four days q month for considerable
period. Uunder these circumstances al
we can do ,s to place them in class L.
Why are not coal miners working
every day and sometimes on Sunday?
Without coal our munition factories
must close down next winter when the
guns and the ships are needed to win
the war and here we are working coal
miners only four days in month. A
coal mine owner who tolerates such a
condition in these times is more Of \
Stacker than farmer who refuses to
cultivate his land. If there were such

local councils Of defense and it is high

WHAT Is A FARM DAY?

A farmer told his story. He had
hands in haying. The morning had been
damp and nobody turned a hand until
10. 30. At six o'clock few loads of hay
remained in the field and it struck the
farmer that as he was paying for full
day the hands might be willing to
throw them on the wagons before quit
ting. SO he sent the wagons out. The
sent the racks back empty. But" said
someone, you didn't pay for the two
hours and a half in the morning did

for. They're got me right where l

must be some give and take. A White
man should be a white man whether
he pays wages or receives them. A

dollars a week for pitching hay is big
money. When it includes meals it is
bigger money. The man who pays it
ought to have a fair return in labor
for it.
That is the personal aand individual
side of it. There's another side. The
crops are the bulwark against the
kaiser. They must be gathered to TIE
last straw and the last bushel as a war
measure. Responsibility for this rests
on the wage Garner as upon the owner
and employer. If man Is willing to
take individual advantage of another
by drawing ten hours pay for six hours
work he should be unwilling to take
that advantage of his country.
Man to man 1t is question of fair
ness. Periodically 1t is a matter of
duty to put in fair hours in gathering
crops.
To take every advantage possible that
will delay or cmbarass the labor of
gathering crops suggests the + w. W.
Be square from both sides. Pay
good wages. Earn the wage. Keep IN
mind the public duty that devolves upon
every man who grows crops and who
gathers them whether for himself or
for wages. The farms and farm work
ers affect the success of this country at
war with an enemy. Be fair. Be

honest wage for an honest days work.
