Contractors Work with
Unions if in Step, or
Without"

Building contractors today made
Il plain that they intend to declare
npen shops unless the unions come
% terms on wage reductions and
nav working agreement clauses
soon.
A meeting Of contractors repre-
senting every phase OF the build
ins industry was held Tuesday
lint at the Quad-City Builders
Erchange headquarters, 2294z
Eighteenth street, and a publicity
committee was appointed to pre-
mare public statement of their at
titude which is understood to be
on point Of absolute break with the
unions.
Tho contractors will not go to
the unions again, but will let Of
fers already made stand. These
offers call for Is per cent reduc-
tion in wages and sweeping changes
In working condition clauses.
In the face of these proposals
the unions have stood firm, and
have repeatedly announced an at
titude against acceptance Of any
wage cuts.
In their deliberations Tuesday
night the contractors put the
"buck" up to the unions. They say
that any settlement that may be
reached will rest upon the unions
peopening negotiations.
In case this is not done open
shops will be declared by the con-
tractors, according to the publicity
committees statement that eff there
is any work to be done at the pres
cnt time they are going to do it
with union labor if the unions will
get in step, then without them il
they don't"

By DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Arzus)

Washington. April 12.-President
Harding sprang a big surprise in
his first address to congress. He
did not turn his back altogether on
either the Versailles treaty or the
League Of Nations. He came out
ftly for amendment and modifica-
ton OF the Versailles pact. He
urged its acceptance with lex
plicit reservations and modifica-
tions." He rejected the covenant
OF the existing league" but pointed
out the basis upon which America
would enter "a league or IAN as
sociation Of nations"
II the European governments will
separate the league from the Yer
sailles treaty, that is if they will
change the character of the league
so that a member of it will not be
compelled to enforce the provisions
OF the treaty itself, America will
Join. This is precisely the view
urged by Herbert Hooevr and out
lined in these dispatches a few
weeks ago.

address to congress, the Republi-

HIGH SCHOOL NEWS

The senior class has effected an or
ganization of the current year with
the following officers: Ellis Will
liams, president; Greeta Gearheard,
vice president; Eurie McGehee, treas
urer, and Willie Brumfield, secretary.
There are between 80 and 40 stud
ents attempting to qualify as regular
seniors this year.
Miss Clara Eaton, the domestic
science teacher, brought joy to the
hearts of all students Tuesday when
she announced that on Wednesday
morning her culinary art would ac-
crue to the benefit of all the students
in that she would open a cafeteria at
that time, serving good things to eat
and drink to hungry boys and girls.
d. S. no longer means Domestic
Science or dangerous and suspicious
but delicious and sweet. Some of
the boys have dared to suggest that
it means Dearest Sweetie.
A large number Of the students
have entered the preliminary contest
for the purpose of gaining the honor
of representing the Bogalusa High
School in the parish defamation con-
test during the Parish Fair in Frank
linton. Prof. Sims has announced a
new system Of grading, effective at
once that takes away the long strings
of zoos the boys and girls have been
used to having on their grade cards.
The new system involves the use of
the alphabet, a subject that some of
the brighter ones studied when
younger. Grades viii be A, B, c and
D, with minuses and pluses as long
as the supply holds out. What A, B
and C mean is not definite, but D
means failure and is also the first
letter of the word a student thinks
of when he fails.
Tobacco is taboo. Farewe IL
'chaw" and little cigarette. Girls
and boys cannot smoke. it is dan
gerous to heart and lungs and more
dangerous to your school standing.
The merit system has gone in effect
and one smoke is pile of dement's
and two smokes is certain suspension.
Farewell, my cigarette, farewell.
Good bye.
