Progress in Shorter Hours.

Considerable progress was reported
in the matter of securing a shorter
work day for various trades and oc-
cupations. 1t being added that "the
rapid trend toward the general estab-
lishment of the shorter work day de-
veIoped during the war must not be
allowed to wane during the period of
reconstruction" The executive coun-
Gil recommended that the entire mat
ter be taken up by the convention for
it's consideration and action
Under the heading Labor and
Peace" the report quotes the deolara-
ton issued by the American Fedora
ton of Labor March IL, 1917; discusses
labor's effort toward the war, and
continues:
Turning from war to peace. upon
the signing of the armistice, a condi-
ton soon became apparent to every
one that had long been. feared by or
ganized labor. It was made apparent
very early that there had been no

made for the transition from 4 war

Discussing what fs called the "msat

the report of the Federal Trade Com
mission to President Wilson and said
that hearings by the House interstate

regulates the prices Of beef, lambs,
hogs ana other meat, but also eErs,
butter. poultry. cheese. rice. fish, can
NED goods Of all descriptions, ieath-
er and wool. 1t is then stated in
SO far as this combination restricts
the supply and enhances the COST of
these necessaries, the laborinE people
OF the country are adversely Affected
and the matter becomes one of vital
concern to the American Federation
of Labor"
1t is charged in the report that the
packers during the war shortage Of
leather, when it was dificult to fur
nish shoes for soldiers, boarded such
quantities Of hides that 1t was impos-
sible to find proper storage room for
them" The development Of Armour

definite recommendation are mada hv

out.
The menu, prepared by the donaes-
tic science class under Miss Pearson's

It was deliciously prepared and beau
tifully served. The place cards, pan
sizes for thoughts" were artistically
executed by several of the juniors.

School, was postmaster.
Tom Quick, as president of the

the very pleasant evening.

fair and will go down in the memo

NEGRO KILLS
FRED ROGERS.
FOREMAN
Was Spirited to New Or
leans While Coroner's In
quest Was Being Held
Monday Afternoon.

Joe Allen, aged Is, who came here
from Texas. and was employed at the
Marsden camp, shot and killed Fred
Rogers, steel gang foreman of the
same camp, early Monday morning.
Three shots were fired into the body
of Rogers, after which the negro used
the butt of his revolver to beat his
victim. Allen then took to the woods,
but was discovered coming into Be-
galusa Monday afternoon and Off
GERS attempted to arrest him. He
started to run and made an attempt
to shoot the officers. 1t was only
after several shots had been fired
that he was captured. Allen had two
fevolvers in his possession when ar
rested. He was taken to the city
jail and later in the afternoon rushed
to Amite, where he was put aboard
an Illinois Central train and taken
to New Orleans where he will be held
until tried.
Evidence at the coroner's inquest
developed that Allen reported with
the gang for work Monday, but when
the others started to work he refused
to work. Words followed and the
negro struck the foreman. He then
drew a revolver and fired three shots,
causing instant death.
Fred Rogers had been employed at
the Marsten camp for four years. He
is a Mexican by birth but has re-
sided in the United States since boy
hood, coming here from Uneedes.
The remains were inferred in the
Bogalusa Cemetery Tuesday.

ALL JITNEYS WILL

Bogalusa Will Also Have
Additional Members On
the Parish School Board
Heintz Attends Meeting.

At the regular meeting of the
Commission Council. which was held
Tuesday night, it was learned that
Bogalusa is entitled to three members
on the Parish School Board, instead
of one, and recommendations viii be
made to Governor Pleasant for the
appointment of the two additional
members. At the meeting the ques-
ton of a more equitable distribu-
ton of the parish school funds was
discussed and action will possibly
follow. Bogalusa is receiving the
same amount of money from the par
ish it did two years ago, despite the
fact that the city is paying into the
parish school fund several thousand
dollars more.
An ordinance was also passed MAX
ing it a misdemeanor for any person
to operate jitney after June / who
does not furnish an indemnity bond.
The ordinance, as proposed, was for
bond of $4,000, but on recommen-
dation of City Attorney Talley it was
reduced to $500. A large number of
operators of public cars were present
and approved the passage of such an
ordinance.
Probation Officer Fred Heintz of
Covington attended the meeting and
urged the enforcement of the COM
pulsory education law, which applies
to all children between the ages of 7
and IA. He also asked for a strict
enforcement of the city ordinance
relative to children driving public
cars.
Warren Thomas was granted per-
mission to erect building in Rich
ardsontown after insurance COM
panies had specified the kind of roof
to be used so as not to endanger the
property or advance the fire rates on
nearby property.
Commissioner Starns, who sue
ceeded C. j. Mills (resigned), attend
ed his first regular session. Com
missioner of Finance E. R. Cassidy
was out of the city.
Much routine business was dis
posed of and the placing of bridge
across a creek on the South Side was
asked and the city engineer instructed
to prepare an estimate of the cost.

ELKS IN DRIVE TO
DOUBLE THEIR |
MEMBERSHIP
Propose to Initiate Class of
Two Hundred at Their
Third Anniversary Cele-
bration.

When the Bogalusa spirit takes
hold of any drive it is certain to go
over the top, and this was never bet
ter demonstrated than in the drive
which the Elks inaugurated last week
for fifty new members. During two
days fifty-nine applications of the
proposed fifty were secured and the
number was then placed at 100. A
few saays later the committee re-
ported seventy-five of the 100, and
now it has been decided to double the
membership of the local lodge, which
at present is FOG. The committee in
charge of the drive, of which ]. B.
Lindsey is chairman, is confident
the number can easily be secured if
all members do their part.
In order to keep ahead of the work
a special meeting of the Elks' lodge
has been called for Friday night to
vote upon the applications already re-
ceived and to receive the new appli-
cations.
If Bogalusa can secure her class
of 206 members it win be the first
lodge South to double its member
ship at one initiation and will per-
haps be the largest class initiated in
this or adjoining states for several
months, except that of New Orleans.
1t is the plan to have the initiation
on the third anniversary of the local
lodge, and it is the intention to have
Colonel John P. Sullivan, past grand
exalted ruler, and the New Orleans
officers of No. 80 to confer the de-
gree upon the candidates, they being
recognized as the best in the coun-
try. 1t is also planned to make the
third birthday party one of the most
enjoyable in the history of Louisiana
Elks.
Several prominent citizens Of the
state have stated that they would be
here for the occasion.
