KIWAN|S CLUB LISTENS To

E H. Davidson, secretary of the

a address before the Kiwanis club
Tuesday. He toll the members of
the club that ''thc open shop was
the only system Of employment truly
American in it's principles"
Isn't it strange that the Kiwanis,
Rotary and such clubs, composed of
apparently fair ana level headed BUSH
ness men, are set on hearing only
one side, that Of the anti-union en-
ployer. on the so-called "open shop"
question?
Most Of the clubs have declared
TO- the open shop and yet not one
of them has ever hearc the labor side
presented. BY such action they have
lost their influence with the public.
They are but moving in circles; they
radiate nowhere outside of their own
cliques.

CARP E|NT'|E|:|RS FIX
new WAGE SCALE
At Largely Attended Meeting
Vote Is Taken to Insist on 81
Cents on: Hour From June /.

At a meeting Of the Carpenters
union held at Workers hall, Nine
teenth avenue West and First street;
Tuesday evening, with 329 members
in attendance, it was unanimously
voted to present a demand to the
general contractors for a wage scale
of STU cents an hour, effective
June 1.
The last year scale of the union
was 81 an hour. In March it was
voted to permit members to work
for as low as 80 cents an hour until
a new scale could be negotiated.
While last years contract with the
contractors was but verbal, it hav-
ing been made on May 6 one year
ago, the union believed it continued
to May this year.
Under the proposed new scale the
carpenters have voted to accept a
cut of 121k per cent from last years
scale. The proposition was submit
ted to the contractors Wednesday and
the union is awaiting a reply. 1t
is understood that a similar rate OF
wages has been agreed to by Superior
carpenters and contractors.
T he union voted on several wage
propositions. One provided for an
S0-cent scale, the second for 87Hs
cents, the third for 80 cents, the
fourth for 95 cents and the fifth for
81. The overwhelming vote was for
STU cents and it was afterwards
made unanimous.
A copy Of proposed contract was
sent to the contractors with the new
| wage scale. In all probability joint
| committees will be able to agree upon
al differences, provided the anti
| unionists do not "butt i'm and at
tempt to exact the pound of flesh

The Great Need of Education.

AS long as a nation is over
shadowed by superstition and
ignorance its progress will be
retarded. We don't have to
review the history of the past
nation to prove this, but let us
turn our eyes for a moment upon
Mexico, Russia and other nations
of like standing, and view the
present conditions. Instead of
finding progress and prosperity,
we find Bolshevism and choos.
What has been the foundation
for Americas advancement? &?
Her educational system. Is this
system perfect? No. Shall we
dare reject education because
the present system is not abso-
lutely perfect? There is nothing
absolutely perfect, not even life
itself, and there are only a few,
in comparison, who cannot
suicide. Then what are we to do?
Enter in and bear our part of
the burden to help to promote
education.
1t has long been conceded
that educated men and women
receive greater recognition than
the mediocre.
Since there are none who are
divinely elected to education.
but gain it by constant applica-
tion and hard study, there are
no longer any need of the poorer
class saying that their children
cannot be educated, because the
present educational facilities
make it Possible for every ever
getic boy and girl to obtain an
education.
Since every one realize that
education is an essential part of
a mans life. it should be con
sidered not only duty, but also
a privilege to every patron and
student to support the schools.
Now that the school year is
drawing near may the faithful
and loyal sons of Jackson County
so cooperate with the teachers
and superintendent as to make
this the best school year in the
county's history.
1t is with pleasure that | con
gratulate our noble editor for his
deep interest and never tireing
efforts to promote education in
our county and state. believe
that am doing the county a
favor as well as fulfilling the
duty to our townsman by re-
commencing that the patrons
make it posslable for every stud
to have an access to the Sentinel.
Sincerely
John l.. Meadows.
