HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Last Thursday afternoon the stu
dents were very glad to see Chester
Hartlett, an alumnus of our school.
He talked to the students about the
Student Volunteer Movement of which
he is national travelling secretary.
He told how it was started thitry-
five years ago when five students got
to thinking about world problems,
and formed this organization to help
students in college to meet these
problems.
Norman Golz, an alumnus of this
school visited school on Friday. He
is attending Lawrence college at
present.
Friday afternoon there was a short
mass meeting, Joe Winetski presided
and called on Coach Lean. Mr. Max
we'll, Miss Austin, John Slocum, Clar-

NIT Laabs for short talks. Earl Pom
eroy led a few snappy yells for the
basket ball team.

Stevens Point in the last game of the

ENGLAND HAS A NEW CLASS
"New Poor" Is the Problem There
observation-disclosures of Life Is
Their Tragedy.

England has no nouveau riche-the
to in England today, according to Miss
Ciarissa Spencer who has just re-
turned from London as representative
of the overseas department of the Y.
w. G. A. In addition to England
Miss Spencer visited European coun-
tries to further the work of the Y.
w. c. A. in explaining their peoples
one to the other through tile medium
of their women.
mot starvation, nor LONELINESS, but
the humdrumness of life is the tragedy
Of great portion of English young
women" Miss Spencer says; young
men are few.
For most of the girls who had
been engaged to be married and for
many who had just married at the
opening of the war, life now holds
little but the long years ahead. Some
OF them, of course, will marry. But
many more will brave the endless sue
cession Of days, each the same color
as the last"
Few English girls are idle Most of
them earn their living now. What
has struck Miss Spencer so forcibly is
that work, food and shelter become
meaningless to the vast number of
England's girls who no longer look
ahead to homes of their own.
Miss Spencer believes that not so
many English girls are coming to this
country as are going to Englands own
colonies.

HEARD PLEA FOR
RAIL WAGE CUT
Road Officials Voice Demand for
4 a General Reduction in
Compensation.
u. S. BOARD ROOMS SWAMPED
About Four Hundred Appear at Hear
ino--New Quarters Are Necessary
Train, Engine and Yard
Men Are Exempted.

Chicago, March THE United
States railroad labor board opened
hearings on the plea of the railroads
of the nation that wages of all en-
ployees, except train engine and yard
service men, be reduced. The occupa-
tons excepted at this time are still ne
gotiating with the executives regarding
the proposed cut in wages.
Armed with statistics gathered after
months of effort, the representatives of
the railroads, j. W. Higgins, for the
Western roads, and j. G. Walker, for
the Eastern roads, planned to show
that a cut in wages is warranted, If
based on the wages paid to employees
3 engaged in similar occupations. The
survey Of industries in the territories
in which the roads operate has shown
according to the rail representatives
that wages In most of the industries
are lower, and in cases where an equal
or higher wage is paid the reason is at
tributed by the employers to the high
wages paid rail employees.
Want Territorial Scale.
The railroads. according to their an
inounced policy adopted at meeting
of the American Association OF Rail.
way Executives here October IA, 1921
will ask that the board wipe, out the
uniform scale of wages paid through.
!out the country, asserting that terri
ltorial scale should be fixed in accord
oyoa NTH tho xx,o roc mold cir,,fIor in.
ldustries in the territories designated
and also that wages in metropolitan
centers be correspondingly higher than
In small towns or rural communities.
The fight for maintaining the pres.
ent standard of wages and for retain
ing the uniform scale will be led by b.
NJ Jewell, president Of the railroad de.
partment of the American Federation
of Labor. 1t is understood that he will
contest the claims for reduced wage
on the ground that the cost Of living
has not receded sufficiently TO Justify
a cut, and that the wages of railroad
employees, and, in particular. the shoI
crafts and other groups whose wages
are under consideration by the board
were the last class of employees in any
Industry to receive an increase in
wages at the time the labor costs We're
going up during the war period.
Four Hundred Appear at Hearing.
Mr.. Higgins was to open the case for
the railroads Monday afternoon, but
Chairman II. NJ Barton announced, an
adiollrnmant owing To fhp fact that
nearly 400 men, representing railroad
unions and brotherhoods, and the rail-
roads attempted to crowd into the
boards hearing room, which will ac-
commodate less than 200 persons. Flu
ture hearings, the chairman an
inounced, will be hello in the Masonic
temple.

COMPANY RECEIVES
PERMISSION TO BUILD u
A LOGGING RAILROAD

The land commissioners of the state
at Madison have authorized the STANCE
Lumber company of Merrill to build
a logging railroad between Merrill
and Star Lake, a distance of 100
miles. State lands will be crossed in
the construction of the road. Per-
NIT to the company was held up some
time by the commissioners until they
could determine whether the road, ii
built, would result in the destruction
or timber around lakes on state prop
erty. Ii was found that little dam
age would be caused and the authori-
cation was granted.
commissioners believe that the
building Of this road will give work to
large number of men If construction
is undertaken this year as planned. It
extends through previously unde-
veloped portion of the state into
heavy timber owned by the STANCE
company.
