lie by the mayor, who refused even to
discuss it. In the letter, however,
CrOarkin is said to have pointed out
that there was no good reason to de-
mand his resignation, inasmuch as he
has been a member of no cliques, has
given faithful service, and has worked
diligently for clean business methods
in school board affairs.
Meanwhile Trustee Hart Hanson re-
iterated his refusal to be made a
goat for the Severinghaus-Davis
combination which he has been fight
ing. He declared that he is through
with the mayor" but that he has Just
begun to fight to clean out the board
of education" J. Lewis Coath did not
hand in his resignation and this gave
rise to rumors that, with the mayors
approval he has decided to remain on
the board. In these rumors Coath was
even mentioned for president of the
board.

big Bill Thompson, our mayor, has
not been pleased with the record made
by the is-Severinghaus School
Board. So he called in the members
on Monday and asked for their resig-
nations.
All complied except Messrs. Croar-
kin, Hanson and Coath who refused
because they have been trying to ex-
pose wrongs and reform the Board.
AS this feeling grew and many al
dermen declared that in view of the
school board scandal the council
should exercise it's prerogative to pass
on the fitness of the mayors candi-
dates, Trustee Francis Z. CrOarkin
sent a letter to Mayor Thompson fatty
refusing to accede to the mayors de-
mand that the entire board resign.

WILL
SlFT SCHOOL BOARD
APPOINTMENTS

The womens clubs of Chicago de
mand careful investigation by the City
Council of the new School Board mem
bers. The aldermen received a letter
from a recently formed joint confer
ence committee on educatiOn-a com
mittee formed of representatives of
twenty women's clubs and civic or
CARNATIONS that met privately at the
Woman's City club. The aldermen
were urged to put off confirmation for
the time being until every new ap-
pOintee be investigated, if that is
needed.
I'VE would like to see appointment
of the new board put off until States
Attorney Grove has finished his in
vestigation," Mrs William Hefferan
said Mr.. Grove has an investigation
under way. The mayor calls in the
school board and asks them all to re-
sign. Most of them do. He is now ap-
pointing a new board. Simply because
the old board is out every one is go
ing to say, The investigation is over
now, let's forget it,? We don't feel
that should be the attitude. Mr..
Groves inquiry should be completed
before a new board is installed and
we believe the city council should CO.
operate in the matter
Alderman L. S. Schwartz, one of the
aldermen who declared he would op-
pose any attempt at snap action on
school board appointments, said the
mayor had been given an absolutely
free hand for more than two years in
choosing school board members, but
in view of the results the council
should exercise its full authority un-
der the law to protect the public and
the school children.
The men and women placed on the
board should be given most careful
consideration not only by the alder
men, but by the general public before
their appointment is confirmed he
said That was the purpose of the
rule, requiring a weeks delay of con-
frmation, and the rule should be fol
lowed"

The only contest of Mondays cleo

Righeimer and ask for certificate of

elected, although he only received
around 5000 votes" No other names
appeared on the ballot for that office
which is filled by county election.
Attorney Tenny a short time ago

Street CAR
STRIKE LOOMS

Trustees of the Chicago street car
mems union showed no inclination to
hasten a parley with traction officials
on a possible wage cut when the letter
of President Henry A. Blair of the Chi
cagO Surface Lines suggesting a con
ference on a new wage agreement was
read at their meeting.
The letter, after being read, was
voted placed on the table for future
action"
At the offices of the Chicago Surface
Lines it was stated that any further
move in the contemplated wage slash,
following the federal court order re-
ducing fares to cents or three rides
for 20 cents June 10. will await the
return of President Blair. Mr. Blair
has been in New York for the last
week, but the notification for a wage
conference was sent out in his name
following the fare reduction order TO
comply with the agreement under
which thirty days notice must be
given the union before a change in
wage scales can be put in effect
The unions see a strategic advan-
tage in waiting until near the close of
the thirty-day period for a conference,
as a strike threat if their wage de-
mands are ignored would be more
effective at that time.

A clause providing an easier method
of amending the constitution in the
