ianitor."
At Mondays meeting, however,
there were present voters who had
never before darkened the portals of
the building they all voted.
After Clerk Zerba had read his
annual report, and the minutes of the
previous meeting, Chairman Kirk
announced that the election Of school
director was in order. Homer Watts
placed Mr.. Kirk in nomination to
succeed himself, and A. E. Shick
nominated Otho Reeder. Voting was
done by ballot, and resulted in the
voters of the district showing their
appreciation of Mr.. Kinks interest in
school matters, by giving him 83
votes to 33 for Mr.. Reeder, majori-
ty Of 80.
Reviewing in detail, the qualifica-
tions possessed by E. A. Zerba, pres
ent incumbent, for the office Of school
clerk, B. B. Richards placed Mr.. Ter
ba's name before the meeting as the
candidate for re election. Otho Reed
er nominated A. E. Shick, who re-
ceived % votes to 95 for Mr.. Zerba,
a majority of 67 for Zerba.
Mrs. w. O. Read was placed in
nomination for director by Mrs. W..
S. Ferguson. Mrs. Read, who is an
active member of the Parent-Teach-
ers association and participant in
everything for the advancement of
the school, declined the nomination.

But viii Continue Observations.

But VIII Continue observations.
Washington, D. C.-Mars paid its
biannual visit to earth, but revealed
none of its secrets. The giant tele-
scope at the naval observatory here
has been trained on the planet steadily
for the last few days as 1t approached
the earth, but Professor Asa Hall Jr.,
In charge of the observations, said that
nothing not already known had been
CLEANED. The observations will be con-
tinued from here, however, as the
planet recedes.
Professor Hall remarked that in
1924 Mars will approach to within 34,-
100000 miles of the earth, and OBJ
servers will have better chance to
study it than now, when the closest
point Of approach is about 42,Ooo.OOe
miles away.

A PREDICTION

1t is coming, and it is bound to
come, just as sure as daylight. What
is wrong with our railroad operators !?
They want trouble. There is no
doubt about it? 1t is plain every
day facts that the mechanics are just
as essential as the engineers or fire
men. The mechanic is needed just as
bad as both of them. One can not get
along without the other, and we are
going to see both the engineers and
fremen drawn into this controversy.
This is plain fact that harmony
must exist and that is the only sue
cess in any venture or any other plant.
Why can't our railroad and our
mine operators go into conference
with the officers of the various
unions? They can certainly lose none
of their rights by attending a con-
ference. What are they trying to do :?
1t seems right on the face of it. They
want to crush organized labor. A
thing which will never come true.
They might bend them a little but
they will never break them. 1t has
been tried in England but it never
succeeded, and today organized labor
in England is the logical thing. The
English employer wants nothing but
organized labor, but he had to learn
his lesson first. Sure, every employer
is not the same. There are good and
bad in all classes, but why can't we
all come to the point of overlooking
some of our supposed grievances? ?
Learn each others short comings,
thrash them out with honesty. Re
member that any one can make mis-
takes, and mistakes will be made
good many times. We see the en-
ployer getting into the habit more
and more each year to look after the
welfare of his employees. He will find
that in nine cases out of ten that if
he has fair attitude towards his en-
ployes his employees will ready do the
same for him. Heln your employees
and you help yourself. Satisfaction
and harmony will go long way to-
ward keeping your employees from
being discontended.
The employers organize. So should
the employees. Organize, but it should
be with a mutual feeling for one an
other. 1t should be satisfactory to
both. They should pull together, not
away from each other. They should
look after each others interests. Just
as sure as we are a foot high, just so
sure that we get to the point of doing
these things we are going to get back
to the road of prosperity and we will
stay there if we can just get a little
brotherly love for one another and get
away from jealousy and selfshness.

WANTED THE FACTS

Joseph A. Bauer, secretary of the
GAINESVILLE Trades and Labor Council,
Immediately upon seeing last weeks
Leader containing an account of the
murder of John Kalman, wrote for a
number of additional copies, stating
that "our morning paper did not have
much to say" and that the boys in
the Clay City wanted to learn the
truth.
Bro. Bauer tells of big lawn fete
held by the railroad shop crafts at
McIntire Park on August II, which
was huge financial success. The
affair was preceded by a monster
parade, headed by band composed
Of every union musician in the city,
who donated their services for the
occasion.
He also states that "the B. & O.
railroad brought in another bunch of
strike breakers, mostly colored men,
but there will be a bunch of sixty
leave tomorrow, as they are getting
no work out of their scabs after
bringing them in."

GOVERNMENT CAN SETTLE
STRIKE

The administration can make the
railroad executives come to terms by
the simple eXpedient of insisting that
the executives comply with the pro-
visions of the transportation act
which are being fagrantly violated,
according to reports reaching ofhclalss
of the International Association OF
Iachinists. Such insistence would re-
move at once so per cent of the en-
zines now in use and reveal the plight
in which the transportation system
finds itself.
Inspection of locomotives regularly
is required by the transportation act
and the interstate commerce commits
sion is charged with the responsibility
Of examining all data affecting the
safety of engines in operation. The
reports received at the headquarters
Of the machinists organization show
that most of the inspectors reports
are made without actual examination
while in many instances inspectors
are not even submitting reports.
Failure to enforce the law IS re-
parded as one of the reasons for the
tand taken by the executives in re-
fusing. to adopt the presidents settle
ment proposal. A resolution offered
in the senate b. Senator King de
mands that the interstate commerce
commission advise the senate as to
the conditions Of the engines. The
resolution has been referred to COM
mittee. With neither the senate nor
the commission displaying any inter-
estin what is of greatest concern to
the public, the executives are en-
couraged to hold out in their attempt
to break the strike.
1t is known that legislative agents
Of the Brotherhoodof Locomotive En-
gineers are gathering data on the eX-
tent Of defective engines, which data
will be submitted to the commission
with a demand that the law be COM
piled with.
Reports circulated by the railroad
executives of large numbers of work
ers being placed to fill the ranks of
ttrikers are not disturbing labor Of
fcials. Confidential reports are re-
ceived by the strike leaders dailv and
they are said to belle the claims of
the executives. The situation on 36
railroads, which ordinarily employ
about 100000 shopmen, is gone into
a report received a few days ago. 1t
shows that less than 1000 men are
in the shops. Over 1000 of those at
work are credited to the Pennsylvania
system, while the remainino 35 roads
employing regularly $4,000 men have
only 1000 at work now.
1t was pointed out that the men on
strike have become accustomed to ex-
tended periods of idleness, which will
enable them to hold out three or four
months without any difficulty. Within
the next thirty days, if the strike con-
tinues, the railroad brotherhoods may
be driven to retaliate, making the tie
up complete.

DEPICTS SPIRIT OF THE PINES

A gigantic pine tree, standing
among its mates like a sentinel, pro-
vides much of the inspiration for
"The Strength of the Pines" the latest
and very successful novel of Edison
Marshall, the brilliant young western
author. The hero of the tale, called
upon to face great dangers and other
trying experiences, seemed to gain
strength and confidence under some
mystical influence Of the tree. 1t was
as though a spirit dwelt within the
body Of the forest monarch which
came to aid and gave his mastery
over the dangers and difficulties of
his situation.
1t is an amazing story of brave
man and wonderful woman battling
against an evil, powerful and re-
sourceful mountain clan. The forces
of nature are an important factor and
"The Killer" an enormous grizzly, the
last Of his race in the wind swept
mountains, dominates more than one
scene between the fighting humans
whom he hates and hunts. We are
pleased to announce the securing of
this great story, to be run in the New
ark Leader on September 1st.

1T DECEIVED NOBODY

The scheme of dropping a loaf OF
Flanigan's bread by the driver of a
local grocery delivery wagon while on
his way with a load of supplies fol-
the strikebreakers, did not succeed
in it's purpose of getting him in bad
with the B. & O. boys, as it is well
known fact that both Mr.. Flanagan
and Mr.. Doneff have refused to sell
bread to these men.

These lines are not written in glori-
fcation of violence in labor troubles.
Their purpose is only to offer a
glimpse into the depths in which
violence is terminated.
The antagonism between capital
and labor is too elemental, too
profound to be solved by force and
violence. And the worker who resorts
to them is as foolish as the employer
of gun men or the statesman with his
injunctions, jails and machine guns.

 From Further ChiCanery

Berlin, Feb. 1.-The Bunker" press and the socialists of Germany are at odds over a proposed law intended to protect members of the government from insult and to prevent anybody melting others to violence against them.
 Announcement has been made that the government intends to introduce a bill in the Reichstag providing for Imprisonment and fine up to 50O,000 marks for persons guilty of insulting the constitution. the president or any member of the central or federated government"
 The socialists contend that the law is necessary to protect the country against violent and treacherous mon- archistic propaganda and chicanery.
 The conservative and nationalist newspapers protest against it as an attack on free speech and free thought. They accuse the socialists of outraging their own principles, as they formerly fought against laws which protected several royal person.
