DR.. Ballou will attend the reorgan-
ization meeting of the board of edu-
cation tomorrow, and developments
today indicate that a number of per-
picking problems will be thrust upon
him during his first day in Office.
Among them is the case of Roscoe c.
Bruce, assistant superintendent of
colored schools. whose removal from
office has been demanded by the
Parents League.
Took Oath Last Night.
The new superintendent will leave
Washington tomorrow night and re-
turn to Pittsburgh 20 complete his
lecture course. Upon completion of
this course, on July 10, Dr. Baliou
will return here TO take active cha rye
of the public school system. During

DR.. BalIou took the oath of office

ference with Assistant Superintendent
Kramer. which lasted until after mid
night. Mr.. Kramer is en- route to
Washington, and will arrive here to-
night. The new superintendent will
leave Pittsburgh tonight in time to
arrive here in the morning.

called at o'clock.
Bruce Case Coming Up.
When DIR. Ballou takes his seat at
the school board meeting tomorrow
he will be greeted by a delegation of
colored ministers, with petitions de-
manding that he take immediate ac-
ton relative to the removal of As
sistant superintendent Bruce The
delegation is composed of Rev J. Mil
ton Waldron, Rev. H. ]. Calls, Rev.
w. d. Jarvis. Rev. w. T. Lee and Rev.
C. NJ Tanner. This same delegation
called on Supt. Thurston yesterday
and asked him to take some definite
stand on the Bruce case before he left
the school system. Mr.. Thurston,
however. declined to commit himself.
but promised the delegation that he
would consider it's request.
1t is unlikely that DR.. Ballou will,
make any recommendations to the
board tomorrow relative to the Bruce
case However, it is believed in
school circles that this will be one
of the first cases the new superin-
tendent will have to settle
Others Plan to Call.
Preparations also are being made

on their delegates in prolonged Sc
ries of ballots.
Friends Are OverzeaIous.
Perhaps the thing that has hurt Nc
Adoo in the last twenty-four hours is
the too rapid growth of his boom
before the balloting starts. coupled
with the opening of headuuarters by
oyerzealous friends. Anything which
gives the impression that McAdoo is
an active candidate, notwithstanding
his professions to the contrary, gives
an opportunity to opponents of NC
Adoo TO keep on questioning his sin
cerity. And delegates are quick to
do those things. They are already
saying McAdoo is party to a game Of
superstrategy here, and are attackine
him for it,
But William Gibbs McAdoo himself
is doing all in his power to suueIch
efforts to make him an active candi-
date. He has again asked DIR. Rurris
jenkins of Kansas City not to put his
name in nomination before the con-
vention. He has appealed to other
friends to intercede with DR.. Jenkins
and persuade him not to make any
nominating speech. And the Chances
are that this second appeal will pre-
vail and the name of Mr.. McAdoo will.
after all. not be placed in nomination.
OF course. anybody can be voted for
whether or not his name is formally
presented.
Consider the wisdom of the move

WOULD SEPARATE
R. R. WAGE CRISIS
FROM POLITICS
W. N. Doak Tells City Club
Practical Men Should
Handle Disputes.

There can be no industrial peace
on the railroads of the nation until
practical men" are put in control of
wage disputes; until the question of
pay rates for employees are "sepa-
rated entirely and exclusively from
the political arena and the employer
and employe have a right, without
molestation or interruption by any
one, to agree on just and reasonable
rates of pay and proper and suitable
conditions of employment from a
practical standpoint"
This was the keynote G an ad-
dress delivered this afternoon at the
weekly City Club luncheon by w. N.
Doak, vice president of the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen.
Mr. Doak declared the railway en-
ployes are up against it. Many Of
them, receive less than 81 day, and
they cannot begin to cope with the in
fiated cost of living, he said.
Men cannot be expected. nor will
they, in this free country of ours to
work for wages that are inadequate
to maintain themselves and their fam
lilies according to reasonable Ameri-
can standards of living" Mr.. Doak
said.
80 Revolt Forthcoming.
"Such has not been accorded, to
thousands and thousands of railroad
employees, therefore the most natural
American thing has happened, and
that is revolt against such condi-
tions as have been forced upon these
men. We. have, sought for them re-
lief, and none has been afforded. We
no1 1nd fn rnIrh IN
ferent agencies of the government
and to every one in authority to af-
ford some relief and none has been
forthcoping; therefore, revol:
against such conditions is rapidly
forming and the situation must be
met"
, Criticising the theorists" who have
sought to remedy the Industrial sit
uation. Mr.. Doak said:
There have been more remedies
prescribed which guarantee sure cures
for industrial unrest among railroad
workers than there have been patent
medicines advertised as sure remedies
for physical ills. These range from
for failure to so arbitrate of i'm
prisonment for long terms to those
permitting the railroad employees as
individuals to fix their own COM
pensation, none of which, however,
have prevented steady, increased,
railroad workers."
Spirit of Insurgency.
Continuing. the speaker said:
You, no doubt, have, been told that
this is a spirit Of insurgency against
the leaders of these organizations.
Such is mot the case in nearly all
instances. The real fundamental
cause for this unrest and action on
the part of employees is an inadequate
wage upon which to live; therefore,
the effect has been, to a great ex-
tent, a general tendency toward the
decentralization of this great Ameri-
can industry.
"The remedy for this situation lies
in the ability of the American public,
sitting as high court of justice, to
see that men employed in the railroad
industry are treated fairly and
squarely; that they are afforded
remuneration for the services they
perform that is adequate to take care

FLORENCE MACBETH
ONE OF THE GREAT
SINGERS OF WORLD

A daughter Of America, although
of Scotch ancestry, Florence Mac
beth. who will sing here Saturday,
has been pronounced by London
and New York papers as one of the
greatest colOratura sopranos who
ever lived, and the greatest that
this country has ever produced.
When she made her initial debut ii
was said that one day Macbeth
would have the world at her feet,
and it is a well known fact that
the world has not produced a sing
er who has reached the highest
pinnacle of her fame while still in
her early tWenties.
The Minnesota Nightingale, as
she is called, and a second Patti,
has voice of flutelike purity with
which she is singing herself to i'm
mortality, as one critic says. She
has had all Europe at her feet
worshipping the bird-like purity of
her voice, and has received recog-
milton in her own country where
her audiences have Wept with de-
light and appIaudcd With an in
tensity which would not allow the
singer to leave the stage.
An ambition cherished from
childhood to be a great singer was
fostered by her parents, and every
opportunity given her.
Miss Macbeth has fulfilled many
important concert engagements
and appeared with signal success
in the Chicago Grand Opera assoc
citation, sharing with Nine. Gall-
Curci the leading coloratura roles,
winning the unanimous approval
of press and public.

LOW TARIFF IS
4 4 Ill
MENACE To BEAN
INDUSTRY, SAYS

"Members of the New Mexico
Bean Growers association are vital
w interested in q move that is be-
ing made to raise the tariff on I'M
ported beans" said W. 4, Field,
secretary of the association yest@r~
day. should Oriental beans con-
tinue TO arrive in the same volume
as during the past three years, and
no relief is given by congress in the
way of an adequate tariff, 1t may
mean the practical annthilauon OF
one of the largest and most i'm
portant agricultural industries III
this state,
Cheap labor in Japan and China
enables these countries to ship
beans into the United states at a
figure below the actual cost OF pro-
duction here. Beans coming from
the orient are even shipped IRON
the west coast to New York and
from there exGorted to Europe in
competition with beans grown in
the United states. The average nor
NAL production of beans in this
country is around 10,000,909 bush
els, while that Of the ORIENT is 2OO,-
100000 bushels.
AN application has been pre-
scented to congress by the organized
bean growers of the states of New
Mexico, California, Michigan, New
York, Idaho and Colorado asking
d tariff on foreign grown beans of
4 cents per pound. The present
cost of production in the United
States is in excess of 6 IL cents
per pound, while in China and
Japan they can be grown at cost
of not over cents"
Citing the reasons why New
Mexico, as we'll as other bean
growing states should be protected
by tariff, Mr.. Field sid. Nearly
one third of the beans produced
in the United States are grown in
New Mexico. The crop has brought
to the state as high as $2,500,000 of
new wealth in one year. 1t is the
most important crop Of many Of
our counties and thousands of
acres of rich land are unsulted to
other crops. The Orient produces
a close imitation of nearly every
bean grown in this country, and |
believe the bean industry can only
be saved through a protective tar
if sufficient to cover the differ
ence Of the cost of production in
America and Asia
