Much Talk in Village about Who
Will Be School Superintendent

Who is to be the next superin-
tendent of the Chapel Hill
school?
This is the subject of a great
deal of talk in the village now.
The school board has been hold
ing meetings to discuss it. These
meetings have not been public
and no statement has been is
sued with regard to them, but
it is common knowledge among
the citizens that there has been
considerable difference of opin-
ion about the choice of a super
intendent.
1t became known last summer
that Isaac C. Griffin, superin-
tendent of the Shelby schools,
and for several past supervisor
of normal instructor in the Uni
versity summer school, was be-
ing considered for the position
here, and he was approached
with the proposal that he come
to Chapel Hill at the opening of
the fall session. He couldn' t
come then because he could not
leave Shelby, so there was an
understanding, though no defin-

ite official agreement, that the
place would be offered to him
next spring.
Meanwhile, L. R. Sides was
appointed principal and acting
superintendent, and he has been
serving in that capacity since
September. Mr.. Sides conduct
of the school has brought forth
much commendation, and it is
said that many of the parents
of school children are in favor
of electing him superintendent.
Mr.. Griffin, through his con-
nection with the summer school,
has become we'll known in Chap
ell Hill and has made many
friends here. There are some
citizens who think he is the
right man for the job-there
are others who do not. At pres
ent the whole situations "in the
air."
The members of the school
board are w. S. Robertson, chair
man; N. w. Walker, secretary

Things That Didn t
Happen

Editors Note: l have been
warned against indulging In
such foolish fancies as these. r.
ID. w. COnnOr, when he met me
on the street the other day, re-
minded me that twice / had
caused misunderstanding. This,
despite clear explanation by
headline and otherwise. For in
stance, there was the case of
Fairfax Harrison, president OF
the Southern Railway. / pictured
him rising in a board of direc-
tors meeting, declaring that the
company should not pay divi-
dends until it had made expen-
ditures to make it's stations de-
Gently clean. Mr.. Harrison
wrote me a letter sOlemnly de-
nying that he had ever done
any such thing. Then, in a
piece labeled 1854" / had L. r.
Wilson retiring to become Lii
brarian Emeritus of the Uni
versity. The man who clips for
the Raleigh Times took the para
graph and reprinted it shame
lessly with out the explanation
that it was an event of 80 years
hence, and a lot of people
thought that Mr.. Wilson was
actually retiring from active
duty.)

gether, the time about which
they like most to reminisce is
the period of the Armistice-
when they were going to and
fro about Europe enjoying them
selves at the expense of the gov
ernment. A day or so ago DR..
Abernethy and I were swapping
tales of this delightful era. He
told me how General Pershing's
headquarters had sent out an or
der, not long before Christmas,
that one officer from each regi-
ment should be sent to Paris to
locate trunk-lockers that had
been carried there and stored
away-nobody knew exactly
| where-when troops had land
ed from America during the
fighting. Upon receipt of. the
order Colonel Abernethy got his
officers together. "Now, if l
sent a major to Paris" he told
them, "the other majors would
be jealous, and so with the cap
tains and the lieutenants. So
I'll just 60 myself" He went
to the capital and had a high
old time for two weeks. And
spent all the money he could
lay his hands on. Fortunately,
however, just before that he
had visited a provincial lace
shop and bought an embroidered
table-cloth for Mrs. Abernethy !;
which cloth adorns the home on
Columbia street today.
A student told me the other
day that he had gained Is
pounds in the last three months.
/ asked him where he ate and
he told me Swain Hall. He
said that increase in weight was
common among Swain Hall
boarders now. So the Universe
ty is getting the reputation of
being a good feeder.
Chapel Hill empties itself of
students with amazing speed.
One day last week the main
street was alive with them; the
next day, you would have
thought the place was a desert
ed village. The busses speeded
back and forth between here
and Durham, the students jam
med inside and the running
boards piled high with suit-cas-
es and handbags. Ten days
hence it will be the same way,
as the stream turns backward.
If the bus men could fix the
University schedule, my guess
is that they would decree study
periods of two weeks alternat-
ing with holidays of the same
duration.

1925 TO BE BIG
BUILDING YEAR
University Will Continue to Ex-
pand and the Village Will
Keep Pace
MAIN STREET STRUCTURES

Nineteen Twenty-Five prom
ises to be a big year for build
ing in Chapel Hill.
The University's operations,
of course, will come first in
point of money expended. The
trustees have asked for more
than 100000 to complete the
$6,OOO,OOO fund requested in
1921 for the six-year building
program. All of this may not
be granted by the legislature,
but part of it surely will be.
There is hardly any doubt that
Atwood-Nash, Inc, and T.. c.
Thompson and Bros. will keep
intact the organizations they
now have and will go straight
on with whatever buildings are
authorized by the legislature.
The next twelve months will
see built up the entire block on
the north side Of main street
from the post Office to Andrews
corner. Brodie Thompson is to
start work a few days after
Christmas on the building just
west of the Sutton and Alder
man drugstore and will carry
it to a height of two stories.
The ground floor will be occu-
pied by stores; the interior OF
the upper story may be left un-
finished for a while. Further
west, beyond the Cate jewelry
store, w. B. Sorrell is planning
to erect two-story brick build
ing, with stores on the ground
floor and sleeping rooms and
fraternity meeting rooms on the
second.
HI. M. Wagstaff, soon after
New Years Day, is to put his
home on rollers and move north
ward down the slope to the part
of his property at the corner OF
Boundary and North streets
and when it is out of the way
he will proceed to build him a
new home on the site of his pres
ent one.
M. r. Trabue has made good
progress in filling in the lot he
bought from H. H. Williams and
will build before summer. c.
A. Hibbard has already had
plans made for his home facing
on the new street that John M,
Booker is running through the
old Battle place.
Mr.. Thompson hopes to com
plete in June, for Mr.. Booker,
the reconstruction of the former
Battle home, and in the same
month the Sigma Nu and Theta
Chi houses in the fraternity
court on Columbia street. Out
in Carrboro he is building for
Mrs. Stone a brick structure
divided into two parts, on the
triangle where the Sturdivant
store once was, and he has the
contract for Lueco Lloyd's two
brick stores.
w. L. Tankersley is having
MIR. Thompson put up for him
on North street fraternity
house, and plans to start within
a few weeks a new home fol
himself on the same block.
Charles Martindale, who hal
put up about a dozen buildings
in Chapel Hill in the last year
has the Prouty home well on to
ward completion, and has the
contract for brick store to re-
place one of the buildings recent
ly burned in Carrboro.

SPANISH DICTATOR,
BOUND FOR MOROCCO,
FACING MARY DEFEATS

Especial to The DAILY WoRKER)
ALGEclRAs, Spain, Sept. 9. An
other Spanish warship left for Nor
Deco today, carrying General Primo
Rivera, dictator of Spain and head
of the Spanish military directorate,
who will make desperate effort to
retrieve the fortunes Of the Spanish
troops in the colony.
The peasants Of Morocco, infuri-
ated by long years of oppression
and exploitation, have inflicted de-
feat after defeat on the Spanish
forces. In this they have the help
of Frsnce, which hopes to wrest
control of the colony from the
hands of Spain. Morocco is one of
the richest agricultural regions in
the world.
Primo Rivera has been selected
for the job on the strength of
long record of suppressing revoIts
in Spain. BY consistent use. of the
militia in strikes, he has succeeded
in nearly crushing the labor move-
ment here. He has declared the
General Confederation of Labor Of
the country Illegal. Then, in spite
of the fact that the unions were no
longer supposed to exist, another
law was passed requiring the pres
ence of government official at ev-
cry union meeting.
Liberals" in Spain are appealing
to France for help against Morocco
on the ground that defeat of the
Spanish government in the colonies
might bring workers revolt at
home, and endanger the security of
the French republic.

1000 PATERSON
SILK strikers
ON PICKET line
Protest Against Injunc-
ton Secured BY Bosses

Especial to the DAILY WoRKER)
PATTERSON, N. j., Sept. g.
Over 1000 pickets are on the
picket line in the Paterson silk
strike as a protest against an in
junction secured by the Rosen-
stein Silk Company against
picketing.
A hearing has been set for
next Monday morning to decide
whether the injunction will be
permanent.
Pockets March Thru Town.
The strikers committee has in
structed the pickets to avoid clashes
with the police and to keep right on
picketing the Rosenstein Silk Com
pany.
Every day the picket line marches
from the Turn Hall, where the strik.
ers meet, and gather more recruits as
they march thru the town. At no
time is there any disturbance The
motorcycle officers who accompany
the pickets find no occasion to make
arrests.
Strikers Out on Bail.
The 107 strikers who were arrested
for picketing are out on bail and the
hearing has been set for Friday at
ten o'clock.
Appeals for aid for the strikers
have so far met with good responses
from the nearby cooperative stores
which donate bread and meat. A gen
eral appeal is being sent out to all
labor organizations to help the strik-
ers with food and supplies and funds
to carry on the strike.
In New York City big mass meet
ing is to be held to launch the relief
drive for the strikers.
= Appeal for Funds.
The strike committee calls upon all
sympathizers to help as much as they
can with funds for continuing the
strike. Anything that will be sent
will help-to keep up the fight until it
is brot to victory for the strikers.
The bosses have made every effort
to secure scabs. They have secured
some scabs, but work is practi-
cally at standstill due to the mex
perience of the scabs and the ener-
getic fight put UP by the strikers.
Gilt Edge operates about 240 looms
and is bitterly opposed to the right to
organize. 1t has refused to grant the
demands of the Associated Silk Work
ers' union, which is conducting the
strike, for the 2-loom and S-hour day
with wage increases.

Fifteen more shops have settled. af-
fecting $50 workers. More than / 500
workers are now back at work under
the new union conditions. Adolph Les
sig, one of the union officials, asserted
that the employers talk of the mills
moving to New York and Pennsyl-
vania was propaganda to intimidate
workers who have established homes
here.

The speakers dealt with the signi-

in America and how important it was
to the Communist movement to or
ganize the working class Industrial
youth
1t was pointed out that Youth Day
arose in the late world war, when a

aries from the youth organizations,
raised the slogan of "War Against
War!" Yet today, ten years later, we
are facing another imperial war and

The Young Workers. League have

Enthusiasm ran high thruout the en-

Of course this is campaign opposi.

likely that the British foreign policy
will change to any considerable ex.

by the permanent officials in the for
