Incompetent Teachers
Forced on Illinois
Children by Poor Pay

PEORIA, ILL.,, Oct. 7.--Declaring that
the school children OF Illinois are in
the hands of Incompetent teachers,
due 70 the low salaries paid them,
they being in some counties as low as
y562 a year, DR.. David Felmley, presi
dent of Illinois State Normal Univer-
sity at Normal, in an address before
the fall meeting OF the Schoolmasters'
Club at the Block & Kuhl tea room
last night predicted further slump
in the efficiency Of the schools unless
higher salaries were paid.
Averaging the wages OF county su-
perintendents, principals and teachers
in 10 counties, the speaker found that
the average salary was $500 q year,
in Ave counties $500 and In Edwards
county the remarkable sum OF $562
year.
Another serious problem IL the
number OF teachers in the field COM
pared to vacancies" stated Dr.. Felm-
ley. Figures for last year show that
there were 1889 new instructors GER
titled in the state, while there were
only 4,314 positions open. This ex-
oludss the renewal OF teaching certih.

a strenuous debate. The reactionary
Buzzell INDUCED in vicious and ig-
norant red-baiting, attacking the spon-
sors Of the resolution instead Of deal
ing with the resolution itself. 1t avail
ed him nothing, however, except to
shown him up in his true colors. The
resolution was adopted.
Furesuth For strike-Breakinp.
The left wing was gaining support
with each resolution. One in support
Of Sacco and Vanzetti was adopted,
but the one in support Of the British
miners and condemning the digging
and transporting Of coal TO break the
strike was defeated.
The efforts of the left wing, led in
this debate by Del. Feinstein, would
have met with success were it not for
the opposition of Andy Furesuth who
wants the sailors to carry coal, for
strikebreaking. The reactionary old
windbag resorted to the tactics of
confusion and INDUCED in the usual
red-baiting. The resolution was de-
feated by small majority.
Mooney for Class Struggle.
Whilst the peddlers of spook dope
and the agent of the strikebreaking
American Legion were invited to
address the convention, all who adj
dressed the convention did not deliver
such tripe. To the discomfort of some
Of the leaders, the militant note of
struggle was sounded by A. J. Mooney,
a leader Of the bitter carpenters
strike in San Francisco.
Mooney heaped scorn upon paci-
flcism and told the delegates that
more progress had been made in five
months of fighting than was made in
five years of negotiation"
"Those had rights who dared main
tain them" quoted the speaker who
commended that policy Of struggle
would be pursued until better condi-
tons would be wrested from the en-
ployers.
Macdonald a Fighter.
Another speaker who breathed de
fiance to the employers and their
agents was Frank Macdonald, presi-
dent of the State Building Trades
Council. He assured the delegates that
the carpenters would not curl up and
quit in face of the smuggling tactics
of the industrial association and their
hired thugs. They would meet them at
their own game. The capitalist courts
also came in for severe castigation
at the hands of Macdonald.

GENERAL STRIKE
OF FURRIERS AT
WIN ZIP EG, CAN.
Strong Picket Line to
Beat Open Shop
BY LESLIE MORRIS.
Especial to The Daily Worker)

WINNIPEG, Oct. 7.--Commencing
on Monday morning, oct. 4th, a gem
eral strike Of all the fur workers in
the city Of Winnipeg was declared by
Local 81, International Fur Workers
Union of the United States and Can
ada. The strike was originally de-
clared on Saturday, September 25th
in five shops, and extended to sixth
on Sept. SOth.
Strike Big scab Shop.
The sixth shop struck was that OF
Elias Reich and company the larg-
est fur manufacturer in the city and
unorganized until the time Of the
strike. However, this establishment
being the center of the fur industry
in the city, the strike committee Of
the union called shop meeting Of
the workers in the Reich plant and
succeeded in calling out the major
ity of them.
Call General Strike.
Following the adoption of New York
gangster tactics by the furriers' sec
ton Of the retail merchants associa-
ton, and the absolute refusal Of the
bosses to surrender, a general strike
of all fur workers in the city was
called in an attempt to force the de-
mands of the union.
These demands are incorporated in
the form of an agreement that the
union seeks to have entered into by
the bosses, and contains as its prin-
cipal clauses the adoption of the A
hour week, recognition of the union,
and pay for legal holidays.
Fight Open Shop.
At the present time the fur work
ers are working from As to 40 hours a
week under open shop conditions.
Scabs have been enlisted by the
bosses, taxicabs used to escort them
to and from work, the aid Of the po-
lice and detectives secured, and no
means spared to defeat the strike.
Picket Line Effective.
In the face of this, the strikers
have maintained strong picket line
in front of every struck shop and
have succeeded thereby in persuading
many workers to cease work. Pick
citing generally has been 1.-The most
successful weapon of the strikers.
The Trades and Labor Council have
endorsed the strike and promised f.
nancial and moral aid. The general
boards of the International Fur Work
ers Union have promised aid to the
strikers, and at mass meeting ar
ranged this week further appeals will
be directed to the organized workers
of the city.
Union Grows.
Inspired by the success of the New
York furriers the strikers are holding
their own and are determined to win.
When it is considered that only a 25
per cent organization existed at the
beginning of the strike. and that the
number of strikers has trebled in
the course of a week, a case OF re-
markable solidarity can be seen.
Mostly Young Workers.
In the meantime the strikers, the
majority of them youthful workers,
are using the Labor Temple as their
headquarters, and are active day and
night in gripping the entire fur in
dustry in order to force the bosses,
at the time of the busy season, to
grant their just demands.

spread terror from North America
to Sicily, is reasserting itself.
Every year the fleets are increas-
ing steadily on Indiana lakes, the
youngsters are trying to learn anew
the sailing crafts their fathers knew
half a generation ago.
Two of the finest, fastest and most
modern boats are owned by Eli Lilly
at Wawassee and Ed Culver at Lake
Maxinkuckee. Among those not
lured away by the gasoline fumes
are Charles Schaf of Indianapolis,
whose Glyndwyr was a famous
champion of Wisconsin lakes fifteen
years ago and still is fast enough
to take care Of itself in any COM
pany, and Blythe and Thomas Hen
bricks, also OF indianapolis.
With Bob Wolf of Columbus, Ohio,
the Hendricks brothers own the
Araby, the Second, at Lake Maxim
kuckee, which probably complies
more mileage during a season than
any other Hoosier sailing craft.

Sailing is coming back in Indiana.
Twenty years ago Hoosier lakes
were dotted every breezy day with
flying white canvass craft, their lee
rails hecked with the spray and
foam of scudding water.
Weekly regattas at Maxinkuckee
and Wawassee during the summer
months received big space in the
newspapers and sailing champion
ship trophies of the old days are
among the highly priced trophies Of
many old-timers.
Then came the motor car, and in
the first wild burst Of joy riding
the water was deserted for the buzz
buggies. In few years cat boats,
sloops, knockabouts, sand baggers,
pumpkin seeds and Wisconsin racers
were almost extinct.
Only a few of the veterans stuck
to the old game, preferring the thrill
Of battling out smashing squail
in clean air and water to the druid
gerry of changing a tire on a dusty
road.
But now the pendulum is swing
ing back. The motor car has be-
come a conveyance, and the latent
sailing instinct of the Hoosier, dat
ing back to the long gone centuries
when Viking forefathers swept out
Of the North in the long boats and

SCENIC BEAUTY Of
STATE PRESERVED
BY RESERVE ACT
Turkey Run Reflects Charac-
ter of Indiana Territory
Days.

Endowed with great stretches of
primeval forests only a few decades
ago, Indiana has been forced to OBJ
serve the major portion of this
primitive beauty vanish before the
axe of civilization and commercial
ism.
While neighboring States took
cognizance Of the rapid disappear
ance of their native woodlands, In
diana remained loath to preserve her
natural heritage until 1916. 1t was
in this year, the States centennial,
that concerted action came into play
and definite move was made to
forestall the destruction Of her
diminishing reserves.
Virgin Wilderness
Following long litigation the State
came into possession Of Turkey Run
State Park, a 750-acre reserve Of
heavily wooded territory which is
generally acknowledged to reflect
truly the characteristics of Indiana
in her territorial days. To this
original tract, additions have been
made, bringing it's size to approx
mately 1000 acres.
Turkey Run, the most extensively
developed Of the chain of six State
parks, lies in northern Parke Coun-
ty, siXty-three miles from Indian
apolis. Through it's confines flow the
waters Of Turkey Run Creek and
Sugar Creek, joining at a point near
the modern hotel erected recently 70
accommodate visitors. Two hundred
and eighty acres Of the reservation
represent virgin wilderness, hiding
beneath it's foliage great rocky can
yons, carpeted with ferns, Iuxuriant
grasses and rare MOSES and lichens.
Vegetation Rare
Practically every variety Of wild
fowl native to Indiana is to be found
in Turkey Run. Similarly, the rar-
est Of vegetation is couched beneath
the protecting limbs of giant trees
of all varieties. little wonder that
naturalists from far and wide are
attracted to the spot. 1t is no I'M
usual thing for college class in
natural sciences to spend several
weeks at Turkey Run, so complete is

CHAPTER xxx.
Love VS.. Duty.

The telephone kept on tinkling
shrilly as Betty hesitated. Why
answer it? If 1t should be doctor
calling her on a case, how could she
refuse? And yet, it might not be. 1t
might he Jimmy arriving home
earlier than he had expected; it
might be something else important.
With sudden deliberation she
crossed the room and took down the
receiver. Almost Immediately there
came that quick professional:
Miss Ames?"
And her response. Yes, doctor"
It was a case-an accident-patient
taken to Baldwin Hospital. Could she
report at once?
And then almost mechanically she
heard her own voice speaking.
I'm sorry, DR.. Adams, but I'm i'll
today. I'm in bed. No. nothing
serious. I'll be all right in a day or
two. I'm so sorry" And then she
was replacing the receiver on the
hook. stiffly. mechanically, like ar
automaton, her heart racing in her
breast.
She had refused a case, an accident
case at that. Suppose another nurse
wasn't Immediately available! She
would be responsible for what hap
