The Gas Case Again

Attorneys Ashcraft and Bolton have
returned from Canton where they
have been on business connected with
the escrow fund of $31 900 still held
by trustee appointed for that pur-
pose in the gas rate case. The court
of appeals will not be insesion until
fall, but a hearing, at which final
disposal of the fund will be made,
was secured at Mansfield for June 20.
1t is expected if an adverse decision
is made the gas company will file ap-
plication for another injunction. The
public is becoming tired of and thor
oughly disgusted with the long drawn
out never ending litigation in the gas
case and will heartily welcome a de-
cision which they hope may be final,
but "for ways that are dark and
tricks that are vain" the law has the
heather Chinese beaten forty ways.

Welfare Work of Food
BarOnS is Discussed

East st. Louis, Ill. - The Union
News discusses the welfare plan OF
Swift & Co., which, it is announced,
"will bring contentment into the work
ers' lives" The labor paper asks
why the company fought the woman's
eight-hour bill, if it believes in real
welfare work, and then continues
with these embarrassing questions:
"Does the welfare plan provide
better homes for the workers?
"Does the welfare plan provide
more to eat for the workers and their
families?
"Does the welfare work make the
job lighter and the hours of labor
shorter?
"Does the welfare work buy more
clothes for the workers or their fami-
lies, or does it provide necessary
books for the children so that they
may be given decent education, or
give them music lessons, if they de-
sire this sort of pleasure?
"Does it buy more ice in summer
or coal in the winter, so the workers
family may enjoy some of the things
the employer Enjoys"
The Union News then asks why the
packers are so interested in the well
fare of their employees who, before
they were organized, worked 10 hours
day at an average rate of 271a cents
an hour, with an average yearly wage
of $700 when government statistics
showed that it took nearly twice thai
amount to live.

Notes of the Game

After the third inning Ertley had
the B. & o. heavy hitters waving
their bats at the ladies on the tennis
court back of center field.
The result of the game demon
strated beyond doubt that gasoline
has not yet acquired the efficiency
Of steam.
In spite of a to defeat Manager
Hess is still wearing the same old
smile.
When "Pete" Nutter pulled Leach's
high foul out of the grand stand he
reminded old timers of the days when
Erve Wratten romped around third
base.
"Hank" Kennedy carried off the
fielding honors. His great one hand
stop of Stamps sizzling drive over
first base would have made Hall
Chase turn green with envy.
Little Fitzpatrick the B. & O.
midget left fielder, played his usual
good game. He sure broke Basher's
heart when he picked a sure hit in
the fourth.
Martins drive to center, in the
fifth, was the only hit made off
Stevens.
Dennison on second made a fine
catch of Ertley's low liner in the
fourth inning.

INTERESTING LETTER FROM
SPECIAL WRITER
Resolutions COndemning NatiOna
Prohibition AdOpted-Mrs.
Mooney Cheered

Pierce Hayden, Staff Correspondent
Atlantic City, N. 1.-THE Ameri
this year has new look. There are
many new faces and some long
familiar ones. are gone. There are
more women delegates this year than
ever before, and it was interesting to
note that the women delegates voted
in about equal numbers for and
against prohibition.
Organized labor has officially
voiced its disapproval of the war
time prohibition and the inclusion of
| light beers in the Constitutional
amendment and has recorded itself
26,475 to 4,005 for a resolution in
| troduced on behalf of the heads of
more than a hundred representative
labor bodies affiliated with the Fed
Grafton, which urged the immediate
repeal of the wartime measure. The
convention decided to bring matters
to a climax and accepted an invita-
ton from the Washington bodies and
visited that city Saturday by special
trains, where a monster demonstra-
ton was staged and committees
visited congress.
On the day Mrs. Tom Mooney
visited the convention she was greet
ed with cheers when introduced by
Pres. Gompers. In few words she
reviewed the alleged frame-up against
her husband, related how she herself
had been cast into prison on false
charges. There was no effort to
adopt any resolution with regard to
the nationwide strike proposed for
July 4th as the protest of labor
against further Imprisonment Of
Mooney without a new trial but as
this question has been placed up to
the committee on resolutions there
will be a report made later in the
convention.

War on anti-union steel employers

No more complete bill of particulars

the steel industry; it takes in every

pany union" as an instrument of war

in it's effect and in it's operation. Ac-
cording to the resolution introduced
by request of the national committee
for organizing iron and steel work
ers the employers cham string such
organizations and render them use

A demand for more adequate treat
ment of the Department of Labor by
congress has been voiced by Presl-
dent Gompers. In the course of his
address President Gompers also took
occasion to express his opinion Of

member of the House. Demanding
better treatment of the Department
of Labor President Gompers traced
the history of the department from
the time of it's creation as an in
dependent bureau Of labor statistics

School Board Grants Increase

At the regular meeting of the
Board of Education Tuesday evening,
an increase in wages was allowed the
custodians of the school buildings in
accordance with request presented
by Engineers Union No. $50 with
which they are affiliated. These hard
working employees most certainly
earn the increase granted, as few
people realize the many hard and
weary hours of labor their duties re-
quire. Especially is this true in the
winter, when it is sometimes neces-
sary to be on duty as early as three
o'clock in the morning in order that
the school rooms may have the
proper temperature when the pupils
assemble. The action of the board
should meet universal approval.

disaggreements among trustees, and
then among patrons, whereas if the
law had settled it even those who are
opposed to the law would have accept
ed it as matter of course. We be-
lieve in the democracy of the school
law, but there are some things in
connection with it that it would be
better to have settled without sub
mitting them to the people.
We advocated compulsory at
tendance law on the stump in this
county the first time we were elected
to the legislature, and introduced
bill some 16 years ago which was de-
feated, but we have all the time'been
an advocate of compulsory attend
ance and would be glad to see the
experiment succeed. Of course there
must not be too much force at the
beginning, but it is bad to have too
much regulating about the details Of
enforcement
If the other children can go when
the school opens we do not see why
all of them can not. And then the
law provides that where there is urg-
ent reason the child may be excused
and come in later. L would have
been much better, as we see it, to
have settled the matter in the law
itself, and that not being done should
have been settled by the county
board without asking any adyice
ABOUT it. And the compulsory at
tendance should begin with the open
ing of the school term. Otherwise
there will be no end to the confusion
that is possible: And that is the re-
commentator of the State board.
There was a good meeting and
much interest taken by the trustees
and the teachers who were present.
This is very important matter and
we hope that the law will operate
smoothly and well.
In the Newberry schools the COM
pulsory attendance begins with the
opening of the schools and the same
we understand is the case at Pros
perity. That is unless the county
board should make different rul-
ing.

SPECIAL SCHOOL TAX VOTED
NEWBERRY SCHOOL DISTRICT

The special school tax Of two mills
for the maintenance of the city
schools was voted almost unanimous
ly on last Saturday, though the vote
was exceedingly small. It stood 47
for the tax and two against it. There
seemed to be practically no interest
in the election, and yet that was not
the case. The fact is, every one
took it for granted that the tax
would be voted and it was not worth
while to 60 to the trouble of voting.
That is very dangerous position
to take. Some time in the future
there might be an awakening that
would be bad, by following such a
course. In this case we had not
heard of any one who was opposed to
the take, and the better maintenance
of the schools, but out Of the 49
votes cast there were two against it.
Well, it is carried and the trustees
will be able to pay the teachers a
better salary and thus encourage
them in substantial way to put new
energy in their work. Prof. Cannon
says he has the best teachers in the
State and we are pleased that the
trustees will be able to pay them
more money.
The next move for the schools is
for better physical equipment and
more room. That will require an
act Of the legislature which no doubt
will be passed at the next session.

PROSPERITY HIGH SCHOOL
HAS FINE OPENING
Enrolment Around 250-Large 10th
Crade-Alf Teachers Present
But One

The Prosperity high school had a
fine opening on Monday morning.
The exercises were held in the large
and handsome auditorium at the
school house. Miss Mayme Switten-
berg the efficient principal was in
charge. Devotional exercises were
conducted by the Revs. c. j. Shealy
and J. C. Griffin.
Miss Swittenberg then presented
DR.. Geo. B. Cromer who delivered
an address that was full of sound and
healthful example and advice to the
boys and girls. Col. E. H. Aull who
was present was also asked to make
a few remarks which he did.
It is always a pleasure for US to
attend the opening exercises or the
closing exercises of this school, and
we rarely permit an opportunity
to pass without being present.
Miss Swittenberg said they had the
largest tenth grade that they have
ever had and there is also large
ninth grade.
The total enrolment will be more
than 200 and will reach ESQ. The
building is as neat and cozy looking
as any school house you would wan
to see. Everything clean and neat
and that is part and an important
part of the education of the child,
to have neat and clean and sanitary
environment. This school took the
prize last year for sanitary neatness
and if the pace set at the opening is
kept up it will be entitled to prize
this year.
The following are the teachers for
the session:
First grade-Mrs. M. C. Morris;
second and third grades-Miss Clara
Brown; fourth and fifth grades
Miss Goode Burton; sixth and seven
tn grades Rosine Singley.
High school-Miss Mayme Switten-
berg, mathematics and Latin; Miss
Rubie Thorn, English and history.
Miss Amy Werts was to teach science
but on Saturday she was married to
Horace Swittenberg, the proper
thing for her to do, and while the
trustees have selected teacher to
take her place they did not care to
announce it yet.
Mrs. Browne and Mrs. Quattle-
baum will teach music.
The school starts off we'll and the
compulsory attendance begins with

Testing the New Fire Engine.

The Herald and News stated last
week tnat the new fire engine bought
by the town would be shipped last
Tuesday. It was just misunder-
standing. The statement should have
been that it was expected to arrive
in Newberry that day. Neither
statement would have been correct.
It was expected to arrive Tuesday
but did come durng the week.
Chief Wells and the department
had the engine out in Main street on
Monday at one Of the dead ends for
the purpose of testing the pressure.
It was found that the pressure at
this dead end at the end Of Main
street was without the pump at the
power house and without the engine
only 25 pounds. With the use OF the
new fire engine the pressure was IN
creased to 100 pounds. With the
power house pump at work without
the use of the fire engine the press
ure was 70 pounds. With the power
house pump and the fire engine both
the pressure was raised : to 200
pounds. This insures much better
protection against fire to. those who
live on the extreme end of town and
near what is called a dead end of the
pine line. These tests were made
