REPRESENTATIVE OF MUSIC
DEPARTMENT SELECTED
Judges Found 1t Difficult to Make
Decision Between Contestants.

Three of the pupils from the music
department of the Dawson public
school, Miss Hutcheson director, en-
tered into a contest Friday for first
place to determine who should repre-
sent Dawson at the Third district
school meet to be held IN Ashburn
some time in April. The judges, Mrs.
A. ]. Paschal, Mrs. w r. Woods
and Mrs. w. r. Melton, were kept
apart from the performers, knowing
them only by number.
The difficult selection was brilliant
" rendered by each contestant, but It
was found that Miss Esther Hind had
scored highest, making 90 points. Miss
Estelle Dekle made 90 SO and Miss
Ethel Horsley 81 1-3. Little Miss
Horsley, who is unusually gifted, was
somewhat handicapped by the embar
rassment of being the first to play
She is the younger of the three, and
has bright prospects in the musical
world
The contestants, both boys and
girls for the honor OF representing
the school in the debate at the district
meet are now proceeding on the sub
iect: Resolved, That the State Should
Give the General Assembly the Pow

BETTER TELE-
PHONE SERVICE
Help Easier to Obtain and Dis
cipline Easier to En-
force.

The public is getting better tele-
phone service than it has been get
ting for some time.
Unemployment, causing a surplus
of applications for jobs as operators,
is the i'll wind which in this case is
blowing the public good, according to
Arthur " Scheiber, city telephone
supervisor, whose report for February
forecasts a return to normalcy in
phone service.
Complaints concerning service,
nine-tenths of which refer to delay in
getting the operator, fell off 92 per
cent, his report will say. Complaints
of the company's failure to extend
service to new applicants also fell off
about 10 per cent.
The surplus of applicants for jobs
permits the company to choose it's
operators more carefully and requires
a higher standard of discipline, it is
declared. For the first time since
1915 the company has a waiting list
of 100 names.

PACKERS AND
UNIONS AGREE
Davis Announces Settlement of
Dispute Over Wages and
Working Conditions.
CONCESSIONS ON BOTH SIDES
AlschuIer Agreement Embodying g.
Hour Day and Acceptance of
Wage Reductions to Con-
tinue Six Months.

Washington, March 24.-Peaceful
adjustment of the labor dispute in
the packing industry was reached here
when representatives of the big
Five" packers and their union en-
ployees signed a compromise agree
ment. The settlement followed a
series of conferences held with both
sides by Secretary of Labor Davis,
who acted at the direction of Presi-
dent Harding and was assisted by
Secretaries Wallace and Hoover. The
dispute came to a dramatic close
when the packers representatives in
dicated a desire for further discus
sion, Secretary Davis forcibly ex-
claimed:
'Oh hell, what's the use of. argu-
ing further? Sign!''
Both sides then affixed their sigma
lures to the copies of the agreement
and the case was closed.
The agreement makes concessions
TO both sides. 1t continues for a
period of six months, the Alschuler
administration agreement embodying
the eight-hour day, and at the same
time provides for acceptance by the

PACKERS DO WELL
Should Raise the Pay of Workers
and Lower Prices to Con-
SumerS.

The packers surely suffered finan-
ciallX last year by not getting all the
money in the country.
Take Morris & Company for ex-
ample.
They have a capital of S3,000,000.
And they have just hauled out, it
is alleged, $37,OO0,0OO of undistrib-
uted profits.
Only 1888 per cent of a dividend.
This is a stock dividend, of course.
And under the Supreme Court rul-
ing is free from income taxi
Well, if this is the case we do not
blame the underpaid stock yards
workers for demanding more money
for their labor.
And we do blame the Quiescent
jackasses who make up the Ameri-
can public for standing for high
prices for beef, pork and mutton.

leader had just come from a meeting
at the Great Northern Hotel, where
the Thompson committee had been
electing officers.

nine Republicans, will be opposed by
the Thompson camp, but it is under
stood that seven or eight of them will
be candidates for denomination with
the backing of the Deneen-Brundage
group and the Democratic organiza-
ton.

There will be three tickets in the
field at the coming judicial election.
The Democrats will put up a full
ticket.
The Deneen-Brundag Republican
committee will name a slate for
Judges.
The Thompson committee has prac-
tically agreed upon its slate.
The Brundage-Deneen people did
not attend the meeting called by the
Thompson people at the Great North
ern Hotel.
I'VE will control the real nominat-
ing convention when it is held, April
25.' said Attorney General Brundage
This meeting of the Thompson COM
mitteemen is illegal, and for that
reason we have decided not to par
ticipate in it,"
Thompsonites disputed Mr.. Brun-
dage's claim, however, and said that
under the recent decision of Judge
De Young in the quo warranto pro-
ceedings their meeting is legal and
that Homer K. Galpin is no longer
chairman of the committee.

switches on railway lines and armed
