tics" in Ohio.
(Elizabethtown News)

By vote of more than three
to one, the state of Indiana a
few weeks ago rejected the pro-
opposition to make the office of
State School Superintendent ap-
pointive instead of elective.
We reprint herewith a letter
the editor of The views has re-
ceived from Mr.. A. P. Sandles,
of Columbus, Ohio, relative to
the experience of the state of
OHIO with the same kind of con-
stitutional provision as that pro
posal intended for Kentucky.
Mr.. Sandles is editor of The
Rural Blade, and he is one of the
most conservative and best in
formed men of the state. He
resides at Columbus, the capital
of Ohio, where he has excellent
opportunities to observe the
operations of the law. Mr.. San
dies writes:
Received yours of recent date
advising that your state has at
issue a Constitutional Amend
ment which, if adopted, will
take from the people the right
to elect your State Superintend-
ent OF Instruction and vest in
your Governor the power to ap.
point such Superintendent.
"You ask what effect such &C
ton has had in Ohio. Ten years
ago Ohio adopted such a amend
ment. The plea was made that
this would take the Office out of
politics. 1t has not done so.
The Governor always appoints a
man of his own political faith.
''Thirty-four states in the
Union elect the State School
Superintendent. In only six
states the Governor appoints.
In eight States the school head
is selected by Board or Com
mission.
I'm Ohio belief is quite gener-
al that officials who shape our
school policy and educational
sentiment should be responsive
to the people rather than to the
one who appoints.
Recently Indiana decisively
defeated this amendment.
Everywhere there is reaction
against Capitalization of power,
There is decided protest against
further surrender of Home Rule
rights and locating in State anc
National capitol the authority
which the people themselves are
fully competent to use.
Respectfully,
20. P. Sandles.

Packers Declare They Have No
Controversy With Workers.
Employees Refuse Sec'y Davis
Plea for Arbitration.
WAGE CUT EFFECTIVE MONDAY
Union Chiefs Want Present
Scale While Conference Held.
Organization for Walk ut
Being Rushed Now.

Chicago, March 12.-Packers and
their employees today apparently were
still a long ways from reaching an
amicable basis for settlement of their
wage and working conditions dispute.
The appeal of Secretary Davis in an
swer to the request that President
Harding intervene. to the big Five
and to the men to arbitrate their
differences, met with little encourage
ment.
The men, unofficially., took the at
titude that they would be willing to
submit the points of disagreement to
arbitration provided wages and work
ing conditions remain unchanged while
the arbitration in progress.
Packers let it be known unofficial
ly that the cuts in wages and changes
in the hours of work would be effec-
tive on Monday. without alteration.
In the meantime, the strike vote, or
dered by union leaders, was in prog
ress and preparations were being
was being rushed.
Dennis Lane, secretary of the Anal
gamated Meat Cutters and Butchers
union, said that Davis had evaded the
real issue in his message to the pack
ers and did not believe his stand would
help the situation.
"Our appeal to the president was
to prevent a strike by having him in
duce the packers not to carry out
their intention to cut wages and abol-
ish the eight-hour day." Lane said.
"If we submit this thing to arbitra-
ton, wages and working conditions
must remain as they are until this
whole thing is thrashed out and a de-
cision given. Otherwise we would be
like soldiers without guns If we SUBJ
mitted TO arbitration after the change
had been made"
The packers took the stand thai
they had no controversy. that they
didn't ask the secretary of labor te
act as arbitrator and that the changt
in wage schedules and hours of work
was due to an economic necessity ane
they are going to proceed in &C
cordance with their announced inten
