SECRETARIAL SCHOOL
TO ERECT A $4,000
BUILDING ON TlJERAS

The erection of a two story
building to house the western
School for Private Secretaries at
Tiieras and Keleher avenues will
begin tomorrow. The building VIII
be put up on the site of the
present school at a cost of about
$4,000.
The new building will incorpo-
rate the present residence and
class rooms now in use by the
school. The new part of the
structure will be built of adobe
and the entire building will have
a light plaster finish. The sec
ond floor will be devoted to class
rooms, office training rooms and
student rest rooms. The building
will be ideally lighted and venti-
lated, all of the interior partitions
to be of glass.
Work will begin at once and
will be rushed in order to ac-
commodate the students as soon
as possible. An unusually large
enrolment this fall at the school
conducted by Miss Eugenia Kele-
her and Miss Margaret Kelehet
necessitated the enlargement OF
quarters for the pupils. The plans
for the building were drawn by

LABOR BOARD IS
AFAIL.URE:, SAYS
DAVIS IN SPEECH
Refers to 1t as "a Quasi
Governmental Partisan
Institution; Is a DiSap-
pointment to Its BaCkerS.

Athens. O.. oct. 14.-Secretary
Of Labor Davis, in a speech here
tonight advocated the abolition of
the Railroad Labor board, which
he referred to as "a quasi-govern-
mental, partisan institution and
the relegation to established bureaus
of his own department Of such of
the boards mediation and concilia-
tion functions as might be desira-
BILE for the federal government to
continue in the transportation
field.
The labor secretary said the
Railroad Labor board had demon
strated that it is incapable of full
filling the high hopes of those who
proposed and supported 1t as a
means of industrial peace on the
railroads" He added that another
system OF settling railroad disputes
should be adopted to leave employ
ers and employees ito thresh out
their differences, free from the
hope or the fear that meddling
quasi officials would interfere TO
cast their little influence in the
balance in favor of one side or the
other"
Retention of the board as an ar
bitration agency. Mr.. Davis contin-
ued, served to increase the num-
Der of disputes and generally to
delay their settlement.
Mr.. Davis defended President
Hardings course during the re-
cent coal strike. declaring that
conditions during it had never JUS
titled the administration "in step
ming over the legal bounds of au-
thority" to bring it to an end.
