CONTINUATION
SCHOOL PLANS
Majority of Employers Will
Comply With Law Without
Any Trouble, it is Expected

Just what arrangements the sew
eral plants in the city will make in
regard to the new continuation
school program prescribed by the
State Board of Education and which
requires the attendance at school
of every child under the age of six
teen for six hours week is NOT known
definitely. 1t is thought, however.
from some few of the replies that
have been received by Superinten-
dent Samuel E. Shull in answer to
the letter he sent out a short time
ago, that the majority of the plants
will comply with the new law with
out any trouble. 1t is possible
however, that some few OF the
plants, rather than bother with the
breaking up of the regular factory
week, will lay off all child labor and
employ only those who do not come
under the new ruling. Still others
have not yet designated what action
they will take in the matter.
The time for these classes are yet
to be arranged by Mr.. Shulf There
are several requirements in the
course of study laid out by the state
which have been worked out by the
superintendent and have been ap-
proved by the local board of educa-
tion. The course must be divided
into practical and academic subjects,
according to the needs of the indi-
vidual pupils and is calculated TO
offer them what they lack in regular
school work as far as possible and
still prepare them their outside
work.
The following course OF study has
been presented to and accepted by
the board of education from which
subjects and requirements will be
taken for use in the continuation
classes:
Hygiene-Good health, personal
appearance clothing. cleanliness, rec
reation, colds, infectious diseases

Republicans, those who will cast a
vote but not campaign; and third

MAN CONFEssES
FORGING CHECKS
George Wright Held for Grand
Jury; Bail Not Fixed Has
Criminal Record.

George Wright, the man arrested
on Wednesday night by Patrolmen
Jorgenson and Buehan charged with
forging the name of Comegys
Brother g. Company to checks, two
of which he passed in this city. Is
being held to await the action OF
the grand jury. Bail has not been
fixed as yet.
Wright confessed his guilt in con-
nection with stealing the three
blank checks from the check book
OF the Comegys store and signing
their name to the checks. Detec-
tive Sergeant Lawrence Long ques-
toned, the man considerably, and
also secured a record from New
York of his having served one term
in Nevada for forgery. He was ar
rested there on April IA. 1917, and
sentenced TO serve from one year TO
fourteen months, his age given at
that time was twenty-three, and 10
the local police thirty-four.
The first report the local pollce
received regarding the man was
from Louis Kaden. owner of shoe
store in upper Smith street. Wright
tried to pass a $40 check on him
and left the store while Kaden was
communicating with Comegys on
the value of the check. kaden saw
Wright later in the night, watched
the latter get on a South Amooy
car, secured Oficer Buchan, who
was going to headquarters to report
for duty, who with the assistance OF
Patrolman Jorgenson placed the
man under arrest at the state
bridge.
After his arrest it was learned
that he had passed a $50 check on
the stenographer in the office of the
John w. Olsen Coal Company and
s77 check on |. l. Block. proprietor
of a haberdasher shop in Smith
street. According to Wright's story
he spent all of Olsen's money, Dut
he returned the suit of clothes, nat
and money to Block.
According to the findings OF De-
tective Sergeant Long. Wright gave
the name of Frank Ford when ar
rested in Nevada and his home in
Chicago. II is likely he was releas-
ed from Jail in Nevada about April.
1918, and from checks and other
documents found on him. it is found
that he has been passing forged
checks throughout the south and
east since his release from prison.
The arrest of the man in this city
speaks well for the work of the To-
cal police. for it is evident that he
has eluded the police right along
since his release.
He has been aided in his work by
rasing as a salesman of typewriter
oil.

ersi who last night accepted and
signed a new two-year contract with
coal operators, based on the award
of the anthracite coal operators
commission giving hard coal work.
ers increases ranging from eighteen
to twenty-five and seven-eighth per
cent, met today to formulate plan
for reopening the wage agreement
and asking further increases. The
union leaders declare the contract
just signed is unsatisfactory in that
il gave the workers little more than
the offer of the operators suggested
last spring.
The full scale committee repre-
senting three anthracite districts
met to draw up a communication
to be addressed either to President
Wilson or Secretary of Labor Will
son, which will set forth the reasons
why the award they were pledged to
accept is not satisfactory. 1t will
be along the lines of the statement
made to operators yesterday.
The mine owners declined to re-
ceiye new wage demands, asserting
that they had no power to do so and
based on the award of the commits
sion. In asking the President or
secretary of labor to reopen the ne
gotiations the men are following the
procedure used in the soft coal fields
after the bituminous commission
had made its award.
In that case the president con-
sented to reopening on condition that
soft coal miners then on strike, first
return to work.
Many .collieries throughout the
anthracite region were idle due TO
workers remaining away from the
operations, as a protest against the
terms of the award.
Union leaders declared they did
not sanction the suspension of miners.
while operators expressed the opinion
that leaders are not unwilling to see
the mines idle pending effort to get
further wage increases.
Only Five Mines Operate.

OF SWINDLERS
Confidence Men, Said to Be
/. Implicated in Bond Plot,
Sought.
CBy Herald Leased wire.)

New York, May 10.-As a result
of confessions in the $4,000. 900
bond plot and tips received from
private sources, the police today
are prepared to round up many
well-known confidence men in the
United States and Canada.
Men wanted in the bond plot are
said to include crooks involved in
wire-tapping gangs, bucketshops
and almost every kind of swindle.
The plot reaches nearly every
part of this country and some cities
in Canada" said Saul s. Myers,
attorney for surety companies. 1T
is going to take some time, but in
the end they all will be convicted" !"
James o. Kean, former manager
of the Burns Detective Agency, in
Montreal, is said to have admitted
he entered into the bond theft plot
with big Ed" Furey, Joseph Gluck,
messenger who has confessed, and
his brother Irving. The detective
confessed he "double-crossed" them.
With Furey shouting '1iar," Kean
also told of shaking down" auto
mobile thieves in Binghamton last
fall. He said he and Furey, posing
as detectives, told a garage pro-
prietor they had come to see about
cars stolen in New York. The
garage man, he said, gave them
$500 and then took them to a
friend who gave Furey $3.50 more
