The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1920-05-13
The report follows /:

The present plans for the grammar
school as drawn by Baldwin q Swope
are considered unsatisfactory for the
following reasons:
The cost is in excess of present funds
available. Baldwin q Swope state pos
itively that it cannot be built for cent
less than $50, 0O0. The auditorium as
shown is not satisfactory in size or
shape as it cannot be satisfactorily
adapted to moving picture requirements
and after the addition Of stage and
dressing rooms it will not have any
| greater seating capacity than Mclsaac's
hall. The state fire laws require more
exit facilities with better access to the
same, firepr0Of floors and ceiling, seats
secured to the floor and fire proof
lamp house. If these requirements are
complied with it will destroy the use
fulness of the hall for general assembly
purposes.
There has been no provision made for
play room for the students. This the
committee considers primary requi-
site in a building intended for a gram
mar school.
If the building is to be constructed
for this cost of from S25, 900 to $50, 0001
there is no money left to provide class. |
room equipment and the additional |
teaching force necessary. These lat |
ter requirements are as essential as a
new building.
If it is the general opinion of the
people of this district that this elabor-
ate building should be built for the cost
Indicated, then combined auditorium
and playroom can be built for, an add-
tlonal $4,000, as indicated by black
board sketch. The auditorium can be
added at any time.
After a careful consideration of the
plans the committee is of the opinion
that this building would make an ex.
cellent high school. If placed on pres.
ent high school site it can easily meet
all the requirements of junior and
senior high school building and there is
possibility that the present high
school building can be moved to gram
mar school site ant made satisfactory
by some slight notifications and addi-
tions.
The present high school consists of
SIX first year, seven second year, and
four third year pupils. With normal
increase larger high school does not
now appear necessary if grammar
school requirements are taken care of.
For this reason the committee feels
that the best solution will be the con-
5truction of less elaborate building at
less cost, providing playroom facilities
for bad weather and leaving sufficient
funds available to provide class equip
ment and additional teachers neces
sary. If this is the general opinion of
the community it is suggested that
either these plans be submitted to
other builders for their estimate of ex-
penses under.a bona fde contract or that
Jther architects be asked to submit
Dlans for a building to come within

UNCLE SAM FEELS RISE
IN STREET CAR FARE
Will Cost Government $4,000 in
Next Five Months for Let
ter Carriers Alone.

Our Uncle Sam is feeling the in
creased cost of street car tickets, just
as much as any of tho thousands OF his
workers.
The raise in street car fares is going
to cost Uncle Sam $4,000 during the re-
naming five months OF the fiscal year
for letter carriers alone.
This amount was allowed in the de-
ficiency bill after First Assistant Post
master General Koons had explained
that the strictest economy would have
to be exercised to get by on that amount
He told the House committee that the
$50, 900 increase in car fare is due solely
to the increased rates authorized by
the public utility commissions. Where
We used to have five-cent rate in
many cities we now have to pay z
cents and where we had a fiat rate
contract, as we had in many cities to
transport our carriers for so much per
annum, the companies refuse to renew
them and now require us to pay the
regular rates. OF course. as the car fare
goes up, we reduce the travel just as
much as possible, because the more it
costs the less advantage 1t is to us

COAL MINING is ABANDONED
BY THOUSANDS OF WORKERS
All Interests Involved Expect That Great
Changes in Methods Will Result
From Movement.

sale desertions of the miners are ad-
vanced by operators. mine superin-
tendents and bosses and others familiar
with present conditions. OF these the
first is unwillingness of young men who
served in the American Army or Navy
to return to mining after receiving their
discharge from the service Next. ac-
cordtng to statements of officials and
others in close friendly touch with the
mine workers. is the feeling that coal
mining Is an overcrowded line of work !;
in other words, as the men themselves
miners" The last Of the three % nrime iu.
reasons is dissatisfaction with the re-
suit OF the recent coal miners strike.
with working conditions in general and
desire to engage in work above
ground.
Notwithstanding the fact that coal
miners as class were given de-
ferred classification in the draft be-
cause of being employed in an essen
tial occupation. thousands of young
men from the mines volunteered or
waived exemption and served in the
American land and sea forces. Large
numbers OF these young men saw
service in France and Belgium or ON
the seas.
After months spent in the open
handed them the papers that said
their services as soldiers or sailors
were no longer required. were un-
willing to return to the underground
work of digging coal and cast about
for other employment
Several Towns Cited.
From a single town of about 1900
inhabitants in the western Maryland
coal fields nearly seventy-five of
these ex-service men had departed,
up to December I. to seek employ
ment in other lines. Most of them
had obtained work in automobile fac
tories in Cleveland. Toledo. Akron.

INDUSTRIAL BLINDNESS
IS DIAGNOSIS At GARY
Continued from First Page.)

no one pays any attention to SO long
as they come to work every day. No
mill in the country has higher repu-
tation for neatness and good order
the superintendent there, hates dirt,
waste. rubbish. and will not abide
them. He thinks them unsightly and
dangerous! And yet they leave this
human wastage neglected in dark
corners Of the town and wonder that
it flames up in spontaneous combus-
ton.
Well, these ignorant foreigners
they have never for the most part
been organized in unions at all-hold
their meetings. They feel that some
thing is wrong in the mills. 1t is in
the. very atmosphere. Some of them
perhaps have read pamphlets dealing
movements. Everything is there so
clearly explained, Nothing is more
beguiling to ignorant men than a
patent remedy. whether for body or
mind. They want a quick cure. and
take it instantly. In the early days
frankly advocated the immediate
seizure of the mills by themselves
the workers!
No one has explained anything to
them. or tried to; no one, SO far as
they know. has tried to remedy the
conditions under which they feel that
they suffer.
Nine hundred miles away from all
this in New York sit the Commanding
men OF tie steel industry. They have
given the workers Of the town much
good housing and cheap: they have
provided safety appliances at the
mills-.-really in a wonderful way
they have instituted a pension fund.
and they invite the workers to in
vest their savings in the stock of the
corporation on a helpful and gen.
erous basis.
See what We are doing for them"
they tell US.
1t seems like black fngratitude that
workers after all this should strike .
twenty-five years ago I saw men and
women hungry in the model homes of
the town of Pullman during the great
strike there. Mr.. Pullman had done
everything Che thoughD for his
Lear over the tragedy Of their in
gratitude.
Well. those things do not prevent
strikes. and never have: for they do
not touch the heart of the trouble.
Do Not See Real Trouble.
I puzzled a long time at Gary how
how to express it. 1 am not pre-
sumptuous enough to imagine I can
explain it all. but one thing at least
think / see clearly. In the earlier
part of this article. speaking of the
self-delineated portrait of industry
as it is to be seen at Gary, 1 re-
ferred to certain strange aspect of
the eyes. I know now, and feel like
whispering the truth. Blind! No
vision-or clouded vision. They do
not see what the real struggle is:
they do not unite to meet II.
For a little while last year-that
wonderful year when our soldiers
were in France-American indusry
opened its eyes, looked up! Both
sides nearly forgot they were working
for money: they forgot long hours
they even forgot profits (some of
them): they forgot to quarrel: they
were united. For once they made the
monster slave of mechanism sweat at
his task. For they had a vision of
ships plying the Atlantic loaded with
American soldiers. of railroad

gades to fight with. How they all
worked and produced for that clear
purpose! The eyes of the whole world
watched with admiration how we
turned out ships and cars and rifles.
All that has gone now. We had a
glimpse of a better way. we tried
uniting to depose the genius of mech
anism. which sits upon our souls, tried
working together for a high pur-
pose; we achieved miracleS-and are
back again cropping in the old mnrk-
mess. quarrelling with one another
and crippling the giant that feeds us.
We could unite and produce and sac
rifice to protect the nation from a
danger from without; we seem to
have no appreciation of the danger
within, no vision Of the task of meet
ing it. And where there is no vision
the people perish.
New Vision Coming.
Not long ago I read in an account of
a. recently discovered manuscript of
the New Testament remark OF the
Master to shoemaker at work:
Man. if thou knowest what thou
dost blessed art thou. but if thou
knowest not thou art condemned"
1t is a very wonderful place-Gary
an extraordinary demonstration OF
the sheer genius and energy of hu-
man beings, but one wonders, having
been there, having seen the cripped
mills, the dissatisfied workers. the ir-
ritated manag ement. the losses in pro-
duction, wages, profits; the soldiers
patrolling the streets with charged
arms. and groups Of revolutionaries
plotting disturbances and groups OF
officials planning suppressions-one
wonders if those who manage and
those who work at Gary do not war
rant the condemnation of not Knowing
what they are about.
And yet having SAID this on 1ary,
have said too much for industry In
general, for there is a new vision
coming in industry; new leaders are
at work; new experimentation Is go
ing on. Industry in some or lts

Army Shoe Measuring Device.

The foot measuring device adopted
by the War Department is small,
substantial metal platform: upon
being measured for shoes, having a
plunger which records the length.
running from size 4 to size Is, and
fianges on the side placed at such
an angle as to indicate automatic
ally the width. running from A to
EE.
To insure accuracy in measuring a
metal tester" is used as guide to
see that the device is in perfect line.
This tester is so made that when
placed in the machine a perfect &C
is recorded. If through usage the
fanges are out Of line. adjustment
of the width indicator may be made
by regulating a set screw.
The old size stick and tape had
never been, satisfactory. as the size
varied with the person or persons
stick used. Some sticks record the
actual shoe measure to be used,
while others simply measure the foot,
to which measurement a given num-
ber of sizes should be added to do
termine the shoe size. Measuring for
tape. as the width ascertained de-
pends upon the angle across the ball
of the foot and the accuracy in get
ting the tape on the most prominent
ball spots.
All this uncertainty is removed by
the use Of the device. as 1t is made
on unchanging mathematical lines.
The personal equation never enters.
and it is only a matter Of some If
teen seconds to measure mans
foot.
When thousands Of men have to be
measured and fitted each day, a de-
vice that relieves the fitting crew"
of the necessity of trying on four or
five pairs of shoes per man means a
great saving to the government.
