LAW NOT TO BLAME
lContinued from Page Onel

towns have been financially aided in
improving their schools by the
distribution of State School Funds
and this method has been approved
by leading educational authorities.
TN four years over 500 new school
buildings have been or are being
constructed. Most OF these schools
are in the rural districts and con-
veyance facilities have been pro-
vided 50 that today more than 100
modern Ischool transports now are in
use. Marked improvement has been
made in the salaries. In four years
the salaries for elementary teach
ers have been raised from 1858 to
$811 and for high school teachers
from $1,067. to $1.404. This shows
an appreciation Of the work the
teachers of the State are doing.
1.-THE number of students in
Normal Schools has increased from
600 to HOO. The graduates from the
Normal Schools in 1920 numbered
204, in 1923, 400. In four years the
number of High School students
housed in new standard buildings
has increased from $40 to 1883
and the Secondary School enroll
ment in the same period has grown
from 24650 to 3002S.
1.-THE physical needs Of the chill
drAn are being cared for better
than ever before. Supervised play
has been installed in most of the
schools and in over thousand
places where 1t il necessary for chill
dren to bring their dinners, warm
noon lunches are provided. A COM
plete health program has been in
stalled in our schools and today we
have over 100 school physicians, 80
school nurses and so directors of
physical education, the State CO.
operating in this work. A statewide
census of children physically handi-
capped has been completed and
proper attention is being given to
those who need 1t.
Evening schools have multiplied
and one third as many persons are
accommodated in them as there are
pupils in our day high schools.
Agricultural instruction is carried on
in 20 high schools and in this work

In all of Germany, which is sonie-

Tricky Politicians
 Bar Alabama Voters

Montgomery, Ala, August 2.-Citi- zens of this state are becoming inter ested in the fall elections, but they find that if they did not register after the last election, they are liable to be dis franchised.
 The county commissioner may order registration at any county seat, but not within 60 days of an election
 If those in control intended to make it as difficult as possible for citizens to vote, they have succeeded most ad- mirably. In other states the voter reg isters just prior to election when pub lie interest is aroused In this state registration is provided in the various precincts between November 15 and January and at the county site Janu- ary l to 5 This brings registration al most immediately following an election when popular interest has subsided
 This legislation is in line with an act passed by the last legislature providing that the successful candidate for presi- dential nominee in the statewide prim- aries shall be privileged to nominate delegates to the national convention. Under this law Senator Underwood picked his 24 delegates.

LOGGING COMPANIES
 CAUSE FOREST FIRES

Vancouver. British Columbia, Aug. 2.-The provincial government is con scripting workers to fight forest fires. They are being paid 25 cents an hour for risking life and limb. The gov ernment also spends large sums of money educating tourists on the dan ger of forest fires, but never a word is said to the timber barons, who are largely responsible for these fires, de- clares the Labor Statesman.
 The logging companies make no effort to clear the slashings after they cut the timber. During the summer months these slashings are as dry as finder If they were properly cleared, forest fire losses in this province would be materially reduced.
 The labor paper compares the gov ernment's interest in property to its disregard of human lives. Last year this province made a record for deaths in the timber industry because Of speeding-up systems, but no action has been taken by the authorities.

RAILROAD LABOR
 BOARD HAS REACHED LIMIT OF USEFULNESS

Chicago, Aug. 2.-The Railroa dLa- bor Board is challenged by the rail tives of these organizations refuse to road brotherhoods, and representa- recognize subpoenas to testify in their dispute u5:.k -HAStArn carriers.
 The workers are especially resent fu1 at Chairman Hoover of the board because of his leanings toward the railroads The chairman has carried this favortism so far that he sug- gested a law against railroad strikes at a recent meeting of railroad off cials in New York city.
 The workers are now ignoring the board and it's orders. They say the purpose of the board is to delay nego tiations
 "The employees refuse to submit thei rcontroversies to the so-called de cision of the board, not only because the action of the board is premature, but also because the board Is not an
 impartial tribunal" representatives of the workers declare. "The chairman has repeatedly and gratuitously made public attacks on representatives Ot the empolyes and on the policies of their organization, and has disqualified himself as an arbitrator.
 "The cost of submitting controver- sies to the board is very large; de cison of the board is not binding; the board itself is biased, and the em ployes have the right ((recently an nounced by the United States circuit court of appeals in Pennsylvania to refuse to contest a matter before the labor board.
 Therefore, the attempt of the board by indirect means to compel them to submit a controversy to the board Is an unlawful abuse of the powers of the board and a violation of the con stitutional rights of employees and of their representatives.
 Up to date the carriers have re- fused to hold conferences, and in so doing are violating the requirements of the transportation act. The plain duty of the board is to annul its order assuming jurisdiction and to direct the individual carriers to hold legal conferences with the representatives of their employees"

WilkersOn Is Busy;
 Has Injunction Mill

Chicago, Aug. 2.-Federal Judge Wilkerson's court is the busiest labor injunction mill in these parts This jurist came into fame when he en- joined the railroad shop men at the request of an attorney general named Daugherty.
 Later the judge enjoined building craftsmen from quitting work when non-union electrical workers of the Western Union Telegraph Company started to wire the building. The judge held that the right to quit work is not absolute and conditions could arise when an exercise of the right to quit work would be a conspiracy.
 After this interpretation of "Amer- icanism" the judge enjoins striking poultry handlers, commission drivers, and chauffeurs.
