Good Ch &c
For Stenographers And Others
Seeking State Positions.
Ia Ia Ia

There will be a splendid opportuni-
ty for Stenographers to get good
state positions through examinations
to be conducted by the State Civil
Service Commission within the next
three weeks. In spite of wide pub
licity, there have been very few ap-
plications filed. and it is altogether
probable that all who pass will be
appointed.
The demand for Game Wardens,
Assistant Physicians for state insti-
tutions, Examination Clerks, Assist

Free Employment agencies and many
other good positions is greater than
the supply, and it is going to be much
easier to get good state position

classes are much larger. The Noffi-

Boston,-A short time ago this

armistice was signed the project has
been abandoned, because of the in
creased prison population. In the
Charles street Jail in this city the
number of inmates has jumped 100
per cent since last November.

Typographical Union
Met Wednesday.

Hamilton Typographical Union No.
290, held their regular monthly meet
ing Wednesday night in Trades Coun-
ell hall. The general run of business
was transacted, besides several i'm
portant communications which were
read and acted upon.
A communication was received from
the international giving the names of
school book manufacturers who oper-
ate their plants under union condi-
tions. A list of these will be forward
ed to the Board of Education with a
request that they purchase school
books from these firms.
The members were anxiously wait
ing for the executive board to report
on the new scale for newspaper Of
fees, but the board failed to attend
the meeting The report will prob
ably be made at the next meeting in
March. Some of the members are
not satisfied with the present scale of
wages, claiming it is entirely too low
for printers. A report on wage scales
throughout the state showed that
printers in cities the size of Hamilton
and some cities smaller are receiving
increases from five to eight dollars
more than the Hamilton printers re-
ceiyed.

He was for a number of months the
first editor of the Butler County
Press after it's founding in 1901 and
always since then displayed deep in
terest in its welfare. In the passing
away of Bert S. Bartlow, organized
labor has lost a true and staunch
friend Mr.. Bartlow was elected a
member of the state legislature in
1897 and again in 1899. During his
four years of service in the legisla-
ture he worked and voted for every
measure tending to the advancement
of the cause of labor. And even after
leaving office he always showed a
keen interest in labor's advancement.
To the aged father, sisters and rela-
tives left to mourn his loss, organized
labor extends it's tender sympathy and
all join in saying May He Rest in
Peace.

Bill Becomes Law.
Superintendent Darrell Joyce Spoke Favorably On Bill
Before Committee.

the bill to great extent, but other
organizations rapidly are swinging
back of it with full force.
Mark Thomson, president of the
Cleveland board of education; A. G.
Eldredge, assistant superintendent
of schools at Cleveland, and H. T.
McTyler, president of the Cleveland
Teachers Federation, and Superin-
tendent of Schools Joyce of Hamilton
presented arguments for adoption of
the bill at the committee hearing.
They declared that passage of the
measure would give teachers square
deal, insofar as their jobs are con-
cerned. Others advised that the job
be made permanent after five years
instead of three. This change prob
ably will be made, and the issue given
public hearing.
Passage of the bill is of vital i'm
portance, not alone to teachers, but
to all interested in the welfare of the
public schools. 1t will mean that
teachers, freed from the worry OF
where their bread and butter is com
ing from, will be able to give THEN
best to instruction of the children.

citizens write their representatives

Hamilton organized labor bows its
head in sorrow today. For today, all
that is mortal of one of its best and
truest friends, Hon. Bert. S. Bartlow,
is laid to rest in the little churchyard
at Scipio, near where he was born.
1t was with a great shock to his
hundreds of friends and neighbors
that the news was received on Sun
day of the passing away of this noble
character in the far southern city of
Greenwood, Miss. Especially was it
great shock to all the workers of
the city who knew him and by whom
he was liked and respected Bert, as
he was known to everyone, was one
of those big good natured, jovial dis
positioned fellows who makes friends
of all and enemies of none. Every
body liked him.

Columbus, Ohio-Affiliation with
the A. F. of L. of Ohio Teachers or
ganizations is looked for if the Wen
ner Bill, acted favorably on by COM
mittee in the legislature is finally
passed. The measure provides that
after three years employment,
teachers, principals and supervisors
shall serve for life.
The act has practically the en-
thusiastic support of every organi-
zation of teachers in Ohio. Mr.. Wen
ner, it's author, is from Ashtabula.
About the only opposition to the bill
comes from board of education mem
bers, who are laymen, and school
superintendent, who don't have to
depend on the caprices of higherups
for their jobs.
The greatest trouble teachers have
encountered in organization, and per-
haps the paramount reason why at
tempts at real organization have re-
suited in pitiful failure, in most in
stances, is the fact that teachers
have been quietly let out when any
attempts were made to affect real
organization.
This will be overcome if the Wenner
Act is passed, because it provides
that teachers may be dismissed only
for gross inefficiency, immortality,
neglect of duty or improper conduct.
Charges must be reduced to writing,
and opportunity given for defense be-
fore the board or committee. In all
such cases the accused shall have the
right of public hearing and represen-
tation by counsel, unless both rights
are waived.
However, the act states that moth
ing in it shall be construed to mean to
prevent the removal of teachers,
when it is shown conclusively that
a reduction in the number of pupils,
makes necessary a reduction in the
number of teachers. 1t is further
provided that demotion in rank or
reduction in salary shall entitle a
teacher, principal or supervisor to
the right of a public hearing with
representation by counsel as in case
of dismissal
Teachers shall not be dismissed at
the end of any school year, unless
notice of the intention of the board
of education to vote on the question
Of his dismissal, and statement of
charges in writing delivered to the
teacher, not later than one month
before the last day IF the school term.

Won't Re-emplOy Strikers As
Recommended By
War Board.

Kansas City, Mo.,-The Kansas
City Railway company has refused
to reinstate striking employees, as re-
commended by the national war labor
board. President Kealy notified the
strikers committee, when they of
fered to return to work on conditions
directed by the national war labor
board, that the company could not af-
ford the wage increase and that it
would be breach of good faith if
he discharged the strikebreakers.
An award was made by the board
several weeks ago. The company has
fought the case in courts, denying the
authority of the board, and is also
attempting to raise fares. Joint
Chairman Taft and Manly charge the
company with being more interested
in keeping wages down than in Sc
curing fare increases and quote Kealy
to this effect. The company's plea
before the courts contain so many
fantastic" statements regarding the
alleged powers of the national war
labor board, that Joint Chairman Taft
and Manly declare "'it is difficult to
be patient with it."

the George Washington
During Heavy Storm

The George Washington is speed
ing toward Boston without a convoy
of naval vessels, according to a
wireless message from the L. $. s.

The New Mexico was forced to fall
behind when her port turbine en-
gine suffered an accident and
the heavy storm has forced the
conveying destroyers to slacken
speed and trail the big TRANSPORT.
1t is indicated that so soon as the
seas quiet, the destroyers will cram
on all speed and rejoin the Presi-

into the port at Boston.
The New Mexico was forced to
