The semester promotion plan which
was inaugurated last year in the first
grade will be continued in this grade
this year and extended to the second
Grade, according to Supt. II. r. Inflow.
As result Of this, new classes will be
started in the two grades in the middle
Of the year.
A ruling made by the authorities
after careful study by primary teach-
ers is to the effect that to enter the
first grade a child must either be six
Years old at the beginning of school,
or his birthday must come not later
rhan few DAYS after November l.
Those who reach the age of six shortly
after this can start in the class that
will be formed in the middle Of the
year.
Owing to the crowded condition that
prevails in the primary grades an adj
ditional teacher has been secured for
the Fields building and all children
in the first and second grades who live
near there will have to attend there,
Supt. Inflow declared this morning.

eleventh hour shortage of rooms has

MOONEY CASE
Won't Down, SAYS N. Y.
Editor

New York.-"If ever there was a
case where the law has failed to
afford remedy for its own gross mis-
use, it is that of Mooney" says the
New York World in discussing the
confession of John Mcdonald, star
witness for the Mooney prosecution.
"That he (Mooney) had guilty
part in the bomb outrage on prepar-
edness day in 1916 was never credibly
established, That the prosecution en-
ployed methods TO justify his convic-
tion at the time, dishonorable and cor
rupt, is shown in the sworn state,
ments of men once in it's service.
Judges and assistant district attor-
neys connected with the case have
since declared that on the evidence
presented against him Mooney should
not have been convicted.
"Yet nothing is done to rectify 4
wrong which strikes at the very foun-
dation Of the administration Of JUS
tice."

Pronosed Political Lahor PARTY


The formation Of dual economic
and political working agreement Of
the United Mine Workers of America
and the transportation hrothorhoods
was discussed in a preliminary con
ference in Cleveland between three
members Of the miners executive com
mittec and the executives Of the broth
erhoods
The conference was the result at
the action Of the miners convention
last September when a resolution was
adopted proposing an alliance with the
brotherhoods to further the interests
Of both bodies
The proposal contemplates the
handling Of the railroad workers and
the miners to wol& for objects of
common interest such as betterInent
Of working conditions and labor leg
islation
The proposed dual alliance is mod
eled after ahor's triple alliance In
England. where the miners, the rail-
road and the transport workers are
banded In a cooperative agreement.
The matter will be taken up again
at later meeting. If the alliance is
carried through it will mean the for
nation of a labor entente. composing
the largest body of workers In the
country. 1t might definitely upset the
balance Of control within the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor and probably
would result according to labor OBJ
servers, in throwing leadership of
American labor affairs into the hands
of the railroad unions

WAGES EFFECT
MORTALITY

Washington.-In report on infant
mortality in Akron, Ohio, the child
ren's bureau says:
This report gives further evidence
Of the fact shown in previous studies
of infant mortality made by the bu-
reau that as fathers earnings in
crease, the infant mortality falls.
"The death rate in families where
the fathers earnings were not suff-
cient to provide medical and nursing
care and other essentials for the care
of children during infancy was much
higher than in families with larger IN
comes"
In Akron the infant mortality rate
was Sc per thousand births in the
year selected. This is a relatively low
rate, as compared with other indus
trial cities studied, but is considerably
higher than rates in New Zealand cit
les, as in Dunedin, where the rate is
only 46.

THE open SHOP"

When any one tells you the "open
shop" means equal rights for all
he tells you that which isn't true.
The open shop" means closed shop
against all union men, men carrying
union card. They can't get a job
in an open shop if the boss knows
that they are members of the union
The real fight on the part of the "open
shoppers" is against unionism for the
purpose of breaking up collective
bargaining and have the workers
where they are helpless in securing
better working conditions and better
wages.

German Coal Production.

In the year 1913, the production of
coal In Germany was 175,00OOOO tons.
Under the peace treaty Germany has
lost about 35 per cent of its coal pro-
ducing territory; Alsace-Lorraine and
the Saar regions with 100000 tons,
Upper Silesia with Al, 100000 tons, and
the occupied territory with 100000
tons. In addition to this, Germany
must, under the terms of the peace
treaty, deliver from 81 600 900 to 80
100000 tons of coal each year to the
allies. The coal miners under the
new regime in Germany have a seven
hour day, but in view Of the present
crisis, they have agreed to work two
half shifts extra each week at double
pay, thus making a 49-hour week.

HOW ABOUT THE RIVER BANKS;

HOW ABOUT THE RIVER BANKS?
Can it be that Hamilton is going
to let pass by the great opportunity
it has right now for beautifying the
river banks within its limits? 1t
would be a crying shame and a sin
to do So Never will this great
chance come again The Miami con-
servancy district has practically COM
pleted its work in the city, especially
is this true of the work to be done
south of the High and Main street
bridge, and the banks are just in
shape for beautifying. With grassy
slopes, with here and there a little
bed of flowers or shrubbery to look at
north and south, wouldn't it make a
dandy impression on the strangers in
the trains coming across the C. /, &
w bridge, and wouldn't it be a pleas
ing sight to the thousands of citizens
crossing the High and Main street
bridge daily and sight that would
make all point to with pride? We
know that the park commission has
done wonders the past several years
in the way of beautifying our parks
and little spots here and there
throughout the city, and the gentle
men of the commission are deserv-
ing of much credit; but would it be
asking too much of these gentlemen
to get busy and not let 90 by the op-
portunity, such as is knocking at our
doors right now, for beautifying the
river banks and thereby gain the
everlasting gratitude of our citizens
And how about you looking into this
matter, Mayor Smith, or anyone
else whose real duty it is to look
after the city's betterment and i'm
provement? How about some of the
civic leagues getting on the job
anyone, just so that it isn't over
looked.

MASON FOR HOME LABOR

Only home labor is to be employed
to do the city work whenever it is
possible to do so. This was the no
tice given out by Service Director
Mason this week Last summer when
labor was scarce the General Engin-
eering & Construction Co., of Rock
ford, H., was contracted with to use
their apparatus for trench digging
and back filing Mr.. Mason notified
this company the other day that their
apparatus would not be used this
year Service Director Mason said
that there are so many men unem-
ployed right now and it is his inten-
ton to see that they be given all the
city work for which they have to pay
for in taxes. Men who have families
dependent upon them will be given
the preference. This action by Mr..
Mason is very commendable and will
be much appreciated by the unem-
ployed Of Hamilton. Mr. Mason
seems to be going at things in the
proper manner and for the interests

of thugs in the coal and steel indus
try are striving to subvert to a sim
liar state of feudalism the two mil
lion railroad workers who were per-
mitted to breathe freely while the
railroads were under federal opera
ton.
The fight that is being waged by the
leaders of the railroad organizations
is one of the most brilliant and cour-
ageous ever undertaken in behalf of
the workers of the world. They are
not fighting alone for the men in
transportation They are upholding
the cause of producers in all indus
tries. They are safeguarding the
best traditions of the nation and in
sisting upon an application of those
eternal truths that large interests
would reduce to meaningless plati
tudes.
There may be need Of revision Of
working rules and some adjustment
Of wages. But they will be made with
the consent of the workers, after
calm deliberation. That in substances
is what the labor board has decreed
in its momentous ruling The work
ers are recognized as constituting
an integral and important part of in
dustry and must be consulted in mat
ters that affect their Welfare.

Of the most notable of recent devel-
