HALF OF SCHOOLS
TO CLOSE unless
u. S. OFFERS help
Two Thirds Districts in St ate
Have insufficient Funds, SAYS
Murphy

More than half the elementary and
high schools in North Dakota may
have to close this year. unless feter-
al aid is forthcoming, r. B. Murphy,
deputy superintendent Of public In
struction warned Thursday.
At the same time. he disclosed that
approximately 5000 rural elementary
school teachers, and instructors in
other elementary and high schools
face payless months, unless aid Is
given them.
At least two-thirds of the school
districts In the state have not suf-
ficient funds on hand with which to
meet the educational needs. Murphy
said.
More than $1,000, 900 will be needed
to meet the salary needs of the teach
ers, many Of whom received only three
months salaries last year, In cash,
with the remainder OF their incomes
represented in tax anticipation war
rants, he explained.
He pointed out that in many coun-
ties, no more tax anticipation war
rants can be issued, as they have nj
ready reached the total equaling the
amount Of all taxes in the respective
districts, and cannot legally issue
more.
Although some counties have shown
an increase of cash on hand in school
district funds, these amounts have
been offset by prior liens against
them in the form Of certificates Of
indebtedness issued in the past to
meet school emergencies.
Last year for the months OF March,
April and June, teachers received q
total Of $345, 272.43 in salaries paid
from FERA funds, records of the de-
partment show.
Far greater" aid must be given this
year, Murphy said, for conditions are
much worse" in school districts.
1918 school units, with 1893 elemen-
tary school teachers, instructing 81
254 pupils, received q total Of sass, III.
This amount represented teachers
salaries, during March, April and
June, 1888.
Seventy first class consolidated and
high schools were aided by federal
funds. A total Of 800 teachers receiv-
ed their salaries for the same months
through federal funds-a total Of $780,
l28. Enrolled in these schools were
o,l83 pupils.
In addition to these amounts, ap-
$4,000 was spent on \
six point program" by the FERA, in
GLIDING adult education, nursery
vocational rehabilitation. and
student work relief. The money was
spent ct the rate Of $500 per month
from December !, 1888. to June ! Of
this year.
It Is expected the federal aid will
be extended again this year for
viewpoint" program, with additional
expenditures to Be made, Murphy
said.

Roosevelt's Biggest Strike
The order for the strike, the largest
numerically to confront the Roosevelt
administration. was licked out over a
! telegraph key set up in the headquart-
ers of the strike committee. It went to
the local union headquarters over the
country which in turn will transmit it
to their membership.
A large group of United Textile
workers officials and officers of a
number of other labor unions assembl-
ed for the occasion.
In short address to the labor gath
ering. German said. I'VE have ex.
hausted every resource in the direc.
ton on peaceful settlement"
From Charles S. Zimmerman. man
ager of the International Ladies
Garment Workers Union. came a
pledge of full moral and financial
support from 10000 workers in the
Dressmakers' Union Local of New
York City and congratulations were
received from the Oil Workers Inter
national union.
A final drive to stir enthusiasm OF
the workers will be made on Labor
Day in mass meetings in city squares
and other public places in every COM
munity in the strike area.
The strike became inevitable when
manufacturers fatty rejected a pro-
posal by the national labor relations
board for a conference with union
leaders. From New York George A.
Sloan, head of the cotton textile insti-
tute. told Chairman Lloyd Garrison
Of the labor relations board that the
industry would not be threatened
into amending the code.
President Roosevelt is known to be
watching the situation closely, but
what he will do remains to be seen.
It appeared inevitable that the nation
a! strike-would at least start. Many
believe that some new peace move will
seek to halt it quickly to save the
lCCOVCly POS4 o4A 4IOu1 q SEVERE SllOCk.
The strike committee OF the United
Textile Workers said its formal order
would cripple factories from the Can
adian border to the deep south.
The unions executive council ex-
poets to decide Thursday whether to
call 100000 silk, rayon and wooden
workers out at the same time. If the
two-fold walkout takes place, they
estimate it will involve more than
1000, 900 persons, counting workers
and dependents.
Employers Ready to Fight
The manufacturers prepared to
fight. Although some apparently
planned to shut their mills, George
Sloan. head Of the Cotton Textile In

proposed to keep operating. Denying

CHEVY CHASE ASKS
ADDED TRANSPORT
More Street Cars and Bus
Carriers Suggested in Plan
Given Citizens.

More than 200 residents turned out
for the mass meeting called by the
Citizens Association Of Chevy Chase,
D. c., last night to consider public
Transportation for that section. This,
and similar meetings for other WASH
ington areas was recommended by
Peoples Counsel William A. Roberts to
determine the views Of the citizens.
The plan for improving tranSporta-
ton service in Chevy Chase as sub
mitted by j. r. Manning. chairman of
the associations Public Utilities Com
mittee, would: OD Augment present
street car service for Chevy Chase. not
less than 10 per cent-during morning
and evening rush hours only. (2)
Augment present bus service, not less
than 20 per cent-during rush hours
only. 90 Establish one croSs-town
bus line in the vicinity of Porter street,
to run between Connecticut avenue
and Fourteenth street, and Corr
Georgia avenue. (4) Provide trans
portation for residents of Military road
and Rock Greek Ford section, in area
between Connecticut avenue and Rock
Creek Park. 60 Provide adequate
transportation to Alice Deal Junior
High School and Woodrow Wilson
Senior High School.
Vote at Next Meeting.
After consideration of the matter
and a number Of speeches, the as
sociation deferred vote on the report
until next meeting. The plan was in
dorsed by the associations Executive
Committee.
A motion for yearly inspection of
automobiles was voted down. Accidents
from this source, 1t was contended,
were not enough to warrant the
trouble.
The citizens launched bitter attacks
against the present system of trans
portation, stressing particularly the
continuous breakdown Of equipment.
Hanna Sides With Citizens.
John H. Hanna, president of the
Capital Transit Co., declared he SYM
pathized with the citizens as regards
the present transportation service,
saying he himself was not satisfied.
The proposal, he said, to run bus
service from Chevy Chase to the Cal
vert Street Bridge and then transfer
to street cars, has not been considered
by his company.
Mr.. Roberts told the association he
believed underground systems would be
best for certain sections of the city.
Riley E. Elgen, chairman of the
Public Utilities Commission, and Rich
mond B. Keech Of the commission,
also spoke.
George E. Strong, president of the
association, presided at the meeting,
held in the E. v. Brown School. Ed
win S. Hege, vice president, explained
the various proposals.
Fred M. Lincoln, H. v. Schneider
and Atwood M. Fisher were appointed
as a nominating committee to report
in January regarding officerships.

that he can't get a decent job because
Of his appearance. He may be a de-

Questions and ANSWERS

Question: Several workers in this
part of the country (Oregon) would
like to have your opinion through
the columns of the Daily Worker
as to how the Townsend Old Age
Revolving Pension Plan" will eff
feet the nation. This plan is now
out in pamphlet form and it is cir
culated by business men. The
pamphlet states that the plan will
be panacea for all the people.
This pamphlet 7 believe is confus-
ing lot of people and it would be
a help I'm sure if you could give
us some material to work on.
The Subsistence Farm Home
stealing Plan" is another plan
which many a worker is getting
misled over and if you can tell us
about this plan it will help the
workers from going to sleep and
keep them busy for a real way out
Answer: Labor Fact Book III,
by Labor Research Association, has
the following to say about subsis-
tence homesteads:
experiments in subsistence
farming communities for farmers
themselves as we'll as for unem-
ployed city workers have been be-
gun in several rural communities,
particularly in Georgia and Wis

of the Interior, has charge of these
projects.
This type of subsistence colony
and subsistence garden is in fact
direct subsidy to big business and
the capitalist class. It enables in
duStrial concerns to beat wages
down to mercilessly low levels dur
ing periods of competitive economic
expansion and to fire workers
wholesale during other periods.
The existence Of workers produc-
ing even part Of their own food
enables industrialists to do these
things without the necessity of
bearing the burden in the form of
unemployment insurance or higher
taxes for relief. The invention of
this method Of taking care of I'M
employed workers and excess
farmers really aims to make hope
less peasants out Of large sections
of the population, and at the same
time relieves the rich of a large
financial burden"

on the Townsend Old Age Revolv-
ing Pension Plan" but you can
probably get it If you write to the
