FEW FAILURES
When the principals of the schools
were asked recently what were some
OF the outstanding features in their
school systems to which they pointed
with pride, Prof. May of Medicine
Lake requested Miss Murphy to
speak for the Medicine Lake school.
Miss Murphy enthusiastically replied
Il am certainly proud of the pupils
who have gone from here as we have
had so few failures. The majority
OF our pupils are very successful in
any profession which they have en-
tered-even that of matrimony. "
Then she told how the girls basket
ball team had won the championship
IN 1928 and had lost but one game in
1926; also how their school had en-
tered the district debating contest
and won first honor last year, Ben
Lundquist receiving highest indi-
vidual honors and how their high
school orchestra was being organi-
zed this year. Miss Murphy will be
remembered as the popular county
superintendent of Sheridan county.

With Jacksonville Scale

CHICAGO, Sept. Termination
of the coal lockout that has tied UP
soft coal mining in Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio and Western Pennsylvania may
result tomorrow from a conference of
officials of the mine operators and
the United Mine Workers Union
here, it was reported today.
A new wage agreement, based on
the Jacksonville wage scale, is in
sight, and tentative agreements have
already been reached by both parties
of the conflict, it was said.
That the strike has been definitely
settled was denied by C. E. McLaugh-
lin, secretary of the Illipois Coal OPP
orators Association.
There have been numerous abortive
conferences between the officials of
District II of the U. M. w. A., in
which is Illinois, but tho the reaction
airy district officers of the union have
tried several times to quit the fight
on the basis of a formal acceptance
of the Jacksonville scale, with actual
concessions in the matter of unpaid
work, etc, these have been opposed
both by the miners and the operators.
The miners demand no wage cut, how
ever cleverly disguised, and the bosses
want clear-cut victory, for it's eff
feet in crushing down the morale of
the workers.

Minority Congress
Delegate Declares
Relief Money Stolen

Apparently we'll substantiated

terested in the Jewish relief move
ment and delegate just returned from
the World Minorities Congress in
Zurich, that much of the money
raised in America for relief of Jews
in Europe has been stolen, continue
to rock Jewish societies.
Mr.. Steuer said, on landing from
the steamer in New York, in a con-
ference with newspaper reporters:
81 also gave considerable attention
to the matter of the manner in which
the vast millions of dollars that have
been sent from the United States for
the relief of the needy and oppressed
have been used. l found that these
moneys during the last two years
have all reached their appropriate
destinations and were economically
administered, and much relief re-
suited.
"But learned to my great dismay
that prior to the last two years not
only were these funds uneconomically
administered, but in addition a sub
stantial part of them never reached
either the places or the persons for
which and whom they were collected
and intended"
"Did you refer particularly to the
misuse of American relief funds for
the Jews of Europe?" Mr.. Steuer
was asked.
yes" he replied. Particularly
those funds collected by Jewish
agencies, and, although these funds
were misused on the other side, the
misuse was by American representa-
tives."

Anti-FasCist Right
ToOrganizeinU.S

SCRANTON, Pa, Sept. 6.-Phila-
delphia lawyers, said to have been
engaged by the Italian Consul Gen.
eral there, have raised questions as
to the legality Of the charter issued
in June, 1926, by Judge Albert L.
Watson, incorporating the Italian
American Anti-Fascist Associa lion of
Jessup, Pa. The majority of the men,
bers of this Incorporated association
are American citizens of Italian birth
working in the anthracite fields of
Pennsylvania.
The Objectionable article in the
charter reads as follows: "The pur-
pose for which the corporation is
formed is to teach the Italian-Amer-
lean loyalty to the United States
government, and instruct him in the
peoples of the United States, and to
preach against the fascist form of
government now existing in Italy, as
being detrimental to government by
people and for the people; and for
the propagation of these principles
and purposes to establish branch as
sociations from time to time in diff
ferent localities"
The association is affiliated with
the non-incorporated Anti Fascist
Alliance Of North America, with
headquarters in New York.
