TO CONSOLIDATE
COUNTY SCHOOLS
Cherokee. Woedlawn and Stanley
Consolidate With the Splendid
Caledonia School.

Pursuing policy adopted in the
administration of public schools
which has proved eminently satisfac-
tory in other states, there have been
some notable consultations Of county
schools within the last two weeks,
namely: Woodlawn, Cherokee and
Stanley with Caledonia; and the
merging of the Thomas School and
the Mullen School into new school.
with a new building TO be erected at
the Windham place on the Pickens-
vile road which will be completed in
time for the coming session.
A transportation truck will be pro-
,ided for the transfer Of pupils to and
from the Caledonia School, the faculty
Of which will be increased to seven
teachers.
Rural Hill, which absorbed the sur
rounding schools number of years
ago, was the first county school to
approximate a consolidated school It
was not, however, recognized con-
solidatcde school, as the legal term
implies, because it did not operate
under the consolidated school law,
which allows separate board of
trustees with the privilege Of petit
tioning the board of supervisors for
A special tax levy.

BOTH SIDES CLAIM
THEY WILL WIN IN
RECALL ELECTIONS
North Dakota Women Will Play
Important Part in Fridav's
Fight, Claim.

Fargo, n D., Oct. 27.-Both sides
Thursday night were claiming victory
for their candidates in the recall elec.
ton aimed at state officials endorsed
by the Nonpartisan league which will
be held Friday.
While a good turnout of voters was
expected, with much. however, depend
ing on weather conditions, it was agreed
| in both camps that the vote will not
equal that of the general election year
ago.
Apathy in both factions is ascribed
rs the reason for the expected decrease
in the vote. Independent leaders de-
clare this decrease probably affects
both sides.
The officials whose recall is sought
are: Governor Lynn j. Frazier. William
Lemke, attorney general, and J. n.
Hagan, commissioner Of agriculture and
labor
Opposing them are r. A. Ntstos for
governor. s. Johnson for attorney gem
eral, and Joseph A. Kitchen for the
commisioDership
One constitutional amendment and
several proposed laws also will be voted
on.
Theodore A. Nelson. secretary of
the Independent Voters association,
said. there has been no marked change
in the political complexion of the state
since Il year ago We expect to make
increases in many counties, Of course,
and in the case of Steele county, where
Frazier's majority a year ago was only
50. we expect to swing the county into
the independent ranks. We look for
marked increase in many of the coun-
ties where Frazier's majority was
largest d year ago. Our majority Fri
day for candidates and the initiated
laws and constitutional amendment,
will be around 10000, if we can get
o;lr voters out
Frank Ostman, publicity director of
the leagues state headquarters, speak
ing for A. A. Liederbach, chairman of
the leagues state executive committee,
who has gone to his home in Dunn
county to vote, said:
The woman vote will determine the
election in favor of the league candi-
dates and defeat the Independents in
itiated laws. Twelve thousand women
in the rural districts did not vote a
year ago but Friday they will be out in
force and swing the election to the
league by majority in excess of that
of year ago"

CONFERENCE IN DUBLIN

Dublin, Oct. 27.-By the Associated
Press.l-Requesting newspaper re-
porters to leave the Sim Fein conven-
ton here Thursday, Eamonn de Valera
said:
This is meeting in miniature Of
the nation, and this is critical time
for the nation"
1--WE who are responsible for the ma
tion's policy he continued, want to
have free expression from the repre-
sentatives of the nation. We feel that
they would be hampered in their ex-
preston and that We should be ham,
pered in giving the advice we have to
give if anything we said should be open
to misrepresentation outside. We have
representatives Of the nation at pres
ent acting on behalf of the nation in
London, and we do not want, if we can
possibly help, it, to cut in upon their
work"
The convention, which opened Thurs
day, was the first of its kind to be held
in two years. Two thousand delegates
from all parts Of Ireland were present.

MINE WORKERS
PEACE MOVES

Operators Refuse

Class Legislation ls
Causing Most o1
the Trouble, Claim.

Washington. Oct. o7.-Peace moves
of the West Virginia union miners were
balked here by the definite refusal OF
the mine operators to deal with the
United Mine Workers when the miners
program of settlement was resubmitted
before the senate committee iEvestigat-
ing the mine disorders Counsel for the
mine owners announced an 'unalter-
able" stand on the question.
! The program. first broached Monday
by Philip Murray, vice president of the
United Mine Workers. involved the use
of the mediatory offices of the investi-
cation committee and the appointment
by Chief Justice Taft. if an agreement
we're reached. of an administrator to
carry out the settlement. Frank Z.
Walsh, head of the miners legal staff.
called the program to the attention of
the committee again Thursday and the
operators refusal was reiterated in un-
mistakable terms by z. T. Vinson, their
chief counsel.
Blame Class Legislation
The hearing also developed another
phase of the operators contentious in
the declaration Of William H. Coolidge,
of Boston, an operator and one of their
lawyers. that congress could obviate

He asserted that in his opinion con-
gress has passed too many discrimina-
tory laws and appropriation measures,
which, he declared, had nullified the
anti-trust laws, so far as labor and
farmer organizations were concerned
were specifying that no funds SO ap
propriated could be used for their prose-
cution.

Don Chafin, sheriff Of Logan county.
who has figured in much Testimony be-
fore the committee, when questioned
by Chairman Kenyon as to the practice
OF permltteng operators to contribute to
the salaries of deputy sheriffs guarding
their properties, upheld the system as
the only method by which law and order
could be maintained in his locality. The
sheriff declared most persons in Logan
county were willing for the operators
to bear the expense rather than have
the taxes raised. and that the financial
status of the country would hardly per-
init an increase in the tax levy.
