THE HIGH SCHOOL

THE School Board is moving
along popular lines when it
plans for the erection of the
proposed new high school on the
Hoffman Woods site. There are two
reasons why no time should be lost
in this development. In the first
place, the old Central High School is
no longer fit for the purposes to
which it is being put, while the
Technical High School building is
very badly needed for additional
junior high school uses.
Once the school pupils of the city
are all quartered on the Hoffman
Woods site, it will be possible to use
the Technical school structure to
house all of the seventh, eighth and
ninth grade girls and boys of the
central part of town in the Technical
school. remodeled to meet the needs
of those grades, which will give Har-
risburg three modern junior high
school buildings of sufficient capacity
to take care of our needs for six or
eight years and will combine the
high schools in a way that will give
the students of those grades what
will amount to all the advanta ges
they would receive did they attend
any one of a hundred of the minor
colleges of the country, and that
without cost OF tuition or board. To
be sure, we must look out for our
finances, but at the best several years
must elapse before the proposed
changes can be made, so now is the
time to plan.
We are fast approaching a place
in the school history of Harrisburg
where We shall be able to compare
our educational facilities with the
best there is in the country, and while
the cost for the moment may seem
to be excessive the results will be
we'll worth the expenditure of any
sum that may be needed.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-09-17

thing that contributed largely to
this attitude was the insistence
that the unions must abide by their
contracts. "A little at time" was
his advise, when he was confronted
with the criticism that the arbitra-
ton commission had failed to rec
ognize the unions. Anything gain
ed is better than nothing, and the
big thing is the main thing-the
honor of our organization. That is
all a union has to stand on-we
must keep to our agreements, if we
expect others to keep to theirs"
Against lawlessness in any form
he was inflexibly opposed. Before
the strike commission of 1903 he
made his position clear on this
point in the following language:
An American First.
II want to say, too, as to the
matter of lawlessness, that before
being president of a union, I am
over and above everything else an
American. believe that every
miner should first be an American.
There is no man connected with
the organization who would con-
denim lawlessness more strongly
than L would. If I did not do it
because I am opposed to lawless-
tates against the success of a strike
and against the advancement of the
organization. I do not believe law
lessness ever won a strike. 1 have
an abiding faith in the American
people. l believe that when they
understand a cause to be right they
will support it, and without the
support of the people no great
movement can hope to succeed.
This is true of a strike. II the peo-
pie of the country are not in SYM
pathy with it, it must fail, and I
am sure that the sympathy of the
people will never be with those who
violate the law"
He believed in the strike" and
the boycott" as the ultimate weap-
ons OF labor warfare, but viewed
them as "wasteful' and only to be
employed when all efforts for arbf-
tration and peaceful agreement had
been exhausted. He was opposed
to the sympathetic strike" At
the special convention held at
Wllkes-Barre, Pa, in July, 1902, to
consider the calling of a sympa-
thetlc strike in aid of the anthra-
cite coal miners, he said:
Sympathetic strikes have many
adherents and the efficacy of such
methods appeals strongly to those
who. being directly involved in
trouble. do not always recognize
the effect of their action upon the
public, but the past history of la
Dor movements teaches lessons that
should not be forgotten. So far as
my knowledge goes, I do not know
of one solitary sympathetic strike
of any magnitude that has been
successful; on the contrary the
most conspicuous among the labor
struggles have resulted in ignomin-
ious defeat not only for the branch
of industry involved, but also for
the divisions participating through
sympathy. Each defeat should tea ch
lessons of inestimable value In
framing the lines upon which pres
| ent and future battles shall be
| fought and won"

RecOmDense

Brief is the time for song,
Yet the brown thrush sings,
Careless of winters long
Or of vanished springs.
Grief is the lot of all,
Yet the meadows know
Only when gray rains fall
Will the harvests grow.
Swiftly the years are spanned,
No dreams abide;
But steadfast the great hills stand
Till the stars have died.
Sing then thy song nor care
If the winter near;
Know that the rains prepare
For the springtime's cheer.
Heed not the dying rose
BY the seasons stain;
Fair till eternity's close
Love shall remain.
Arthur Wallace Peach in the
Christian Herald.

There are a lot of things about the

LET US HAVE IT

PROPOSALS that the President OF
the United States be made a
member of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and that all strikes
now in progress throughout the
country be Immediately cancelled in
order to meet the present ''periious
situation" by which the foundations
of our free democratic Government
are threatened" are novel, to say
the least. Just what advantage the
public would gain through member
ship in the Federation for President
Wilson it is rather difficult to deter
mine. The President does and
should stand between the employer
and the employe, between capital
and labor, as the champion of the
public. His judgment should be as
free and unbiased as is possible. and
membership in any union, whether
lit be that of employers or employees,
would hardly tend in that direction.
But there can be no contention
with the proposal to declare an in
dustrial truce for six months. In
that time capital would be able TO
get its breath and the President
would have demonstrated what it IS
possible to do in the way of reduc-
ing the high cost of living. Both
sides would receive advantages
through such an arrangement.
1t must be perfectly clear to every
body that so long as wages are IN
definitely increased so long prices
will continue to advance. and strikes,
which reduce production, always
have a bad effect on the market by
decreasing the supply, increasing the
demand and, therefore, advancing
the costs. If business for the next
six months were able to adjust itself
to the existing conditions without
the constant fear of fresh demands
or cessation of production and the
President is at all successful in his
fight to lower living costs. we should
face whatever demands develop by
that time on a new foundation with
much more opportunity for sane
judgment than is now possible. BY
all means, for the sake OF both en-
ployer and employe, let us have this
truce
