Henry B. Endicott,
Shoe Manufacturer,
Dies i'm Hospital
End Comes at Brookline to
Strike Mediator and Food
Director for Massachu-
setts During the War

BOSTON, Feb. 13.-Henry B. Endi-
colt, president of the Endicott-J ohnson
Corporation, said to be the largest shoe
manufacturers in the United States,
died last night in hospital at Brook
line. He was operated upon few days
ago on his return from the South.
Henry B. Endicott, official strike me-
dator and food administrator for
Massachusetts during the war, was a
descendant of John E. Endicott, first
Governor of the colony Of Massachu-
setts Bay, and was born at Dedham,
near Boston, sixtysx years ago. He
retained his residence at Dedham all
his life, but was engaged in business
in Boston and other cities, and also in
the State c. Maine. He first entered
the wool business IN Boston, but later
transferred his principal interests to
leather and shoe manufacturing, as the
head of the firm of Endicott, johnson
e. Co. Nearly ten thousand persons are
employed by the firm, and never once
in its history has there been strike.
His success in dealing with his own
employees made him fitting choice
strike mediator during the war, and his
services in that capacity were of meal
culable value to the state and nation.
He was the principal factor in the set
tlement of strikes Of Boston e. Maine
Railroad hands, of Boston elevated
railroad hands, of shoe factory en-
ployees at Lynn, and the textile oper-
atives at Fall River, Haverhill, Law
renee and Lowell, and more than a
hundred others. He served also as
Federal Food Administrator during the
Massachusetts Committee of Public
Safety, concerning his labors in which
capacities Governor Mccall said:
Nothing could exceed the patriotism
and efficiency of the work you have
rendered."
He was appointed by the President
one of the fifteen representatives of
the public in the National Labor Con-
ference at Washington last October.
There he was the author of the adden-
dunn to the resolution concerning labor
unions over which controversy arose
and which read as follows:
This must not be understood as lin
iting the right of any wage Garner to
refrain from joining any organization
or to deal directly with his employer
if he so chooses"
Mr.. Endicott strove valantly to bring
great good out of that conference, but
in vain; and he afterward expressed
the opinion that the makeup of the
three groups precluded the possibility
of accompllshir g anything constructive.
Mr.. Endicott dispatched a relief
train from Boston to Halifax at the
time of the great explosion in that har-
bor getting it under way with supplies,
doctors and nurses, within twelve
hours after the disaster occurred. He
also was chairman of the Emergency
Public Health Committee during the in
t1uenza epidemic in 1918. He is sur
vived by his wife, a son and two daugh-

fered Aid Is Boon Long Desired

State College, Pa, Sept. 23.-"It is
a long cherished dream come true. to
know that the business men of the state
who realize the great Importance Of the

financial support for the many depart
ments of college endeavor.' said DR.. f..
T.. Sparks. retiring president Of the

tary Clubs to back the full development
Of the college. Word was received yes
tcrday to the effect that eastern Penn
sylvania Rotary Club officers. meeting
at York. had agreed to combine their
efforts for bigger and better State

Doctor Sparks also pointed out that
it was not alone the enforced refusal of
almost 100 applicants for admission to
the freshman class that is emphasizing
the inndeQuacy of the plant. but that
the lack of buildings and funds for ex
detrimental work is also a direct loss %
PENNSYLVANIA industry and business.
The Rotary program on behalf of
PENNSYLVANIA State College will open

have all members join II pilgrimage to
the college campus and view at first

TO KEEP Up FIGHT
FOR SCHOOL BONUS
George Wharton Pepper Says
Teachers Must Receive at
Least 5000 at Once

The citizens committee. which had
been COO operating with tho Board Of
Education in an effort to find means
for raising the salaries Of teachers,
will keep right on. notwithstanding tn"
failure to achieve results so far.
George Wharton Pepper. acting
chairman of the citizens committee.
said today: The citizens committee
committees job is to see that each
teacher receives at least 5000 at once,
and the committee must complete that
job.
II do not think that the Board of
Education. having advanced matters to
This point. can let the fight cease now.
Th" committee is glad to operate
with the board in any way the board
may suggest. 1t must not he forgotten.
in this connection. that the Board of
Education has. in addition to the 500.
600 from loan funds. $40, 900 addi-
tiOnal in tho treasury left from the
last state appropriation. This makes
total of S94O.Om available for salaries.
Mr.. Pepper then intimntpd that the
parcels of real estate, which failed of
satisfactory sale when bids were opened
yesterday, can sun d" SOIN aNNhnth
grously. One property j. in KenSingtOn,
on" on the Parkway and the other in
Germantown. 1t was expected to realize
5000 600 from their sale, tho money to
be- devoted to salary increases.
Bids were too low. however, and the
properties were withdrawn. 1t had
been planned to give each teacher 500
cash bonus. and also to advance the
schedule Of salaries paid under what is
known aS the dick plan.
Joseph Catharinr, IL member of the
Board Of Education. said today spe-
rial meeting Of the board should be
called at once to tackle the whole
question afrCSh. ''Thcrc is no reason
in the wurld." he said "why the 500
bonus at least should not b" given the
t"a"h"rs in very short time. AS a
matter Of fact, the teachers should re-
r"iv" cash bonus ranging from $40
to as high as $40. with good luck, in
addition to the salary increase planned
by Secretary Dick.
"Thcrc has been so much delay that
it is becoming NOR" difficult to realize
the amount desired from the sale of
the thrc" properties. The real estate
tide is r"Ceding. Several months ago,
when the sale could have been made,
thrrc would have been no trouble in re-
Ceiving the money wanted. In fact, the
Land Title and Trust Go. had guar
ant"Cd MS $500, 600 after an appraise-
m"nt of the property.
