Huge Power Dam =
for Rice Fields

Little Roc, Nov. 12.-Arkansas
will have power dam with a spill
way greater in height than Niagara
Falls when the Dixie Power COM

ect on White river in the vicinity of

estimates of Col. Henry A. Allen,
chief engineer, will be 240 feet high
and 1900 feet in length. Only one
dam will be necessary to supply
100000 horsepower "a hours a day
and one half of this the company
contemplates offering to the rice
belt of Arkansas. Officials of the
company have recently made an in
spection Of the rice district and be
lieve that the field will be material
lv increased with certain and
cheap power. For this reason a con-
tract will be entered into with a
distributing company, should one be
organized in the rice belt. to supply
10000 horsepower the 100 days of
the wear that water is pumped onto
the rice.
The Dixie Power company project
is $10,0O0,000 proposition. and the
engineers are now working as
miles above Cotter. There are 40
men in the corps. and their work is
practically completed The over
flow or backwater from the dam will
extend to Forsythe, Mo.
Should the contract to supply the
rice fields be entered into, the COM
PAW will bring it's highpower trans

Conway or Morrilton. offering pow
err there for the development of
manufacturing enterprises. The line

For nearly three years
Mr.. G. D. Horton of Sing

from one of the most ma
lignant and painful diseases
to which the human flesh
is heir. Naturally he had
become morose, despond-

pronounced his case incur

One day in a fit of desper-
alton he started to walk out
of town down the railroad
track. He didn't KIN o w
where he was going and
didn't care. H e wake d
awhile and then, being seiz-
ed with unusually severe
pains, he sat down to rest.
Shortly thereafter a ragged,
unkempt hobo appeared and
spoke to Mr.. H orion:
"What's the matter, old
rnan?" he said. kindly.

Baby Play
Still Continues At Hamilton
Machine Tool Co.

1t seems that there is to be no let
up in the baby play indulged in at
the Hamilton Machine Tool company's
plant in Lindenwald. 1t was thought
that lesson had been taught when
the company applied for an injunc-
tion against its former machinists
and were told by Judge Clevenger,
who heard the case, that it was mere
child's play Tor words to that effect)
but it seems that some never learn.
Last Friday afternoon, two boys
about Is years of age, noticing one of
the strikbreakers on the street made
some remark about scabbing. The
big "workingman" started after the
boys and (it is said beat one of them)
chased them down the street Later

and advice we can't say warrants
were signed for the boys who were
ordered to appear in Judge Kautz's

pare pupils for community life.
When the teachers attend the meet
ings of the Labor organizations, they
come back with new civic sense.
Teaching, said Mr. StilIman, viii
never be profession until the teach
ers have voice in the schools. But
this does not mean, he said that the
teachers would displace the admins
trative officers of the schools.
The most critical situation exists in
the matter of wages, Mr. Stillman
said. One normal school that had
formerly class of 90, this year had
a class of nine Another normal
school had but two-ffths of the usual
number Economic pressure is driv-
ing the men and women out of the
profession. Teachers are leaving
their profession by the thousands.
The American Federation of Teach
ers, according to Mr.. Stillman does
not intend to fix wage scale for the
country, but has, however, adopted a
minimum wage of $1,000 as the ideal
wage The matter of wages will de-
pend upon local jurisdiction, and the
conditions of each community, he said.
The average wage is now 5000 a year.
Teachers depend more on legisla-
lures than most other classes, said
Mr.. Stillman, and when they are or
organized and have organized Labor
behind them, they will be more effec-
tive in getting favorable laws both in
the state Legislatures and in Cong
ress. The teachers federation is now
carrying on a campaign in support of
the Towner Bill, creating federal
Department of Education. This bill,
among other things, provides for an
apportionment of $20,000,000 for
physical education, including health
education and sanitation.
The chief things that will help the
teachers in bettering their conditions,
Mr. Stillman said, is the alignment
with Labor Labor, he said, is inter-
ested in securing the best educational
opportunities for the children of all
the people. Some conflicting forces
are fundamentally interested in keep
ing taxes down, while Labor is deter
mined to raise efficiency of the schools
The affiliation of teachers with the
Labor organizations would throw
them in close touch with the parents
of the children of the laboring class,
and bring about greater sympathy
between them. This sympathy be-
tween the parents, and the co-opera-
tion of union Labor, will give the
teachers a greater power than ever
before. The teachers will have their
delegates at Labor conventions, and
will be able to present the needs of
the~schools to organized Labor, and
thus aid Labor in outlining suitable
program for the advancement of the
schools.

day morning at the time set for
hearing the case, the firm was well
represented by its officials and attor-
ney who were there to prosecute the
boys of their heinous crime. The
Judge after listening to both sides dis
missed the boys for lack of evidence.
Those not knowing just what was
taking place thought that some one
was being tried for murder and were
disgusted after hearing the case and
the Judges decision. Disguised no
doubt at the petty action of big
firm like the Hamilton Machine Tool
company is supposed to be.
The officials would do better if they
devoted more time to the interests of
the firm and less to an institution of
correction. They will be able to stay
out of the hands of receiver just so
much longer.

There has been little opposition

overwhelming majority of cases boards
Of education and superintendent of
schools welcome the new possibii-
ties for closer contact and cooperation
with the community opened up by the
affiliation of the teachers with the
federation of teachers.
"The American Federation of Teach
ers" he continued, is of course alb
solutely autonomous, demoeratically
organized, and conducts it's affairs
without suggestion or dictation or in
reference on the part of other labor
organizations or any other organiza-
tion whatever. 1t is scarcely neces-
sary to say" he added, that, in com
mon with many other federations of
public employees, it does not use the
method of the strike.
''The American Federation of
Teachers has and will continue to find
its greatest support among the class
room teachers of the public schools
1t has not carried on any considerable
campaign among the larger educa-
tional institutions, but it has an or
ganiZation in the University of Illi-
nois, among the teachers of greater
New York, a member of the faculty of
Columbia University being the pres
ident of this organization, among
teachers in the collegiate schools of
Boston, the North Dakota Agricultu-
raj College teachers, and in several
normal schools"
The greatest progress in unionizing
the public school teachers has been in
California, Mr.. Stillman said, where
the organization now has state fed
GRAFTON of teachers. New England at
present has eight local organizations,
and the movement is strong, he said,
at St. Paul and Minneapolis, and in
New Orleans. In fact, there is praci
cally no section of the country that
has not been touched, observed the
teachers federation president, but in
some of the states no locals have been
formed. The total membership at the
present time is about 10000, Mr. Still
man said.
The organizing of the teachers
opens up to them an almost unlimited
field for their activities, said Mr.
Stillman, and the matter of salaries
will be one of the things that will be
given attention. This, however, Mr..
Stillman stated, is not the chief object
and reason for organizing. The teach
ers have been recluses, to greater or
less extent, and in sense prided
themselves on their aloofness from
the economic and industrial life. The
organization of the teachers into a
Labor organization, and the affiliation
with other Labor organizations gives
them the opportunity to get in contact
with the industrial and economic
world. Teachers, continued Mr.. Still
man, who have no contact with the
community cannot be expected to pre-
