SH!PYARDS
AREC CLOSED
100000 Workers Are Locked
Out in England

London. April 12-(By the A. P.)
About 100000 shipyard workers
Great Britain are lock-
ed out today in consequence of the
failure of the striking members OF
their union: in Southampton to re-
sumo work yesterday in conformity
with the ultimatum of the ship
building emp oyers' federation. The
lockout Is effective only at South:
ampton where the yards are being
kept open for those men ready to
go i3ack ~ work. Whenever the
Southampton members Of any OF
the 80 unions involved resume la
Dor the lockout against their fell
low members in either yards will
be withdrawn, employers declared.
Union officials appealed TO. the

measure, but the employers con-
tended they had no alternative.

At present. it is necessary to
march the pupils of the Junior High
school twice II week to the Roosevelt
school for gymnasium work. Stu
dents who have to walk long distance
to the William Moore school have no
cafeteria service there and must take
cold lunches from home. If by rea-
son of the change, it is pointed out,
some student had to walk little
farther. it would be possible to sup
ply them with warm lunches at noon
during the severe weather.
The William Moore school was
built in 1883 and is now over crowd
ed and it is only a question of time
when this building must be wrecked
to make way for new school AS it
is not fire proof and wholly without
modern ventilation. 1t is pointed
out by many patrons of the school
that the Roosevelt school now has
four rooms unoccupied and the wise
thing to do is to use the better equip
ment as against the poorer and more
antiquated.
Supt. II. O. SaXvik when inter-
viewed upon the matter today by The
Tribune was heartily in favor of this
scheme from every educational stand
point. He declared it would give all
the Junior high pupils now served
by the William Moore school better
facilities and work a hardship upon
none.
Several members of the school
board also said they favor the plan. o.
Should this plan not meet with
favor there is another alternative
to make possible the use of the
splendid new school building. An
additional teacher can be employed
so that the west end of the city can
enjoy the same seventh and eighth
grade facilities as are now enjoyed
by the patrons of the Richholt and
William Moore schools. Patrons who
live adjacent to the Roosevelt school
feel that they should enjoy the same
school facilities as are given the
patrons of the William Moore and
Richholt. They declare that they are
merely demanding what are their
rights as taxpayers and by reason
of the fact that a modern, beautiful
school where educational facilities
are available should be used to the
fullest extent as the city has the in
vestment and upkeep in any event.
The utilization of the Roosevelt
school was discussed tentatively at
a meeting of the school board last
evening but no action was taken. 1t
is believed, however, that this mat.
er will be decided in the near future.
