TROUBLE AT
STOCK YARDS

Chicago, Dec. $500 policemen
were sent to the stock yards this
morning when long before daylight
several groups of persons gathered
about the stock yards. Only few
hours before 200 policemen had fired
into strike sympathizers who had at
tackled plant employees and finally the
policemen. Last nights toll OF casual
ties included 8 seriously injured
when mounted police chars-
ed into the crowd.
All saloons in the neighborhood of
the yards were closed today by order
of Chief of Police Fitzmaurice.
The chief said the trouble would be
stopped at any cost. When the strike
went into effect Monday there was
little trouble and the situation re-
mained quiet until last night. Strike
sympathizers blocked the workmen' (
ways to the car line. Hundreds swell.
ed the ranks of the sympathizers un-
til riot calls were sent in. When re.
Inducements arrived the crowd was
finally scattered and the hevay guards
withdrawn.
Efforts to verify the report thai
a negro was thrown In a creek neal
here were unsuccessful.

DISSATISFACTION
MAY Be EVIDENCED
IN DALI E|REANN
CONSIDERING TREATY
1t is Believed That the Treaty
With England Will be APP
proved, However There is
Evidence That There May be
a Split in the Cabinet Over
the Subject.

Dublin, Dec. 8.-The Dali Eireanr
cabinet assembled here today to con.
slider the treaty signed in London
creating an Irish Free State. Its act.
ion is fraught with great significance
rs it is expected to develop for the
first time the real attitude of Eamon
De Valera and his associates on
which De Valera has steadfastly re.
fused to comment.
His continued silence has been in
terpreted in many quarters as indi-
eating his dissatisfaction with the
terms. The possibility of split in
the cabinet is being talked and the
resignation of some of the members
is predicted Some of the leading
members of the cabinet are known to
object to the form of the oath Of alle-
glance laid down in the treaty.
However it is believed the treaty
will be approved in the end.
Republicans of the rank and file
make no secret of their dislike of
the oath involving fidelity to the
British sovereign and criticize the ap-
pointment of a governor general and
the financial clauses.
The public organizations are antag-
onistic over what they call surren-
der to Ireland.

BROOKS REPLIES
TOQUEST|ONSPUT
BY Mr.. D0UGHTON
REGARDING
Says Cost Running Schools Due
to Increased Salary Paid
Teachers Authorized by Last
Legislature. Did Not In
tend to Violate Tax Limit,
Mr.. Brooks Said.

Raleigh, Dec. 7.-Regarding the
fight being made by Representative
Bowie on Superintendent Of Public
Instruction Il. c. Brooks regarding
the cost of running the schools OF
the state, Mr. Brooks was under ey-
animation yesterday and questions
were put to him by Representative
Doughton regarding the cost of run
ming the schools of the state.
Mr.. Brooks explained that the Cen
eral Assembly OF 1920 authorized an
increase in the salary limit of teach
ers and that the counties had en-
ployed an unusually large number of
them, and there was not enough
money to pay them.
Mr.. Doughton asked the question
II it was the intention of MI Brooks
department to live within the ten per
cent, limit written into the revalua-
ion act. Mr.. Brooks replied that it
was, but that he could not do it..
The counties were responsible for
they increased the salaries under the
act of the legislature according to
the standing of the teachers.
Mr.. Doughton asked Mr.. Brooks:
did you ascertain that the coun-
ties had done this before you sought
the ruling of the attorney general
as to whether the counties were
bound by the pledge?"
DR.. Brooks replied in the affirm
ative. Mr.. Doughton inquiry con-
cerned the opinion given by Attorney
General Manning in September. 1929,
that the 10 per cent limit was not
binding if it was not sufficient to run
the schools for six months. A supple
mental opinion was rendered in 1921
to the effect that the 80 cents limit
was not binding, if, because of reduc-
ed values, it did not raise sufficient
funds to run the schools.
