Striking labor unions along the coast
are unfortunate in their strategy. When
ever foodstuffs and the necessities are
curtailed the average citizen is the one
who suffers-and this good will and
support is necessary for any fundamen-
tai change in the scheme of things. Pub
lie opinion can defeat the most powerful
program if sufficiently aroused by un-
wise leadership or policy.

TODAY'S YESTERDAYS

Nov. 10, 169O-George Fox died,
aged &C. He was 10 when he felt the
call to preach which resulted in his
arrest for disturbing the peace and
his establishment of the Society of
Friends (Quakers) to which Herbert
Hoover, Smedley D. Butler and many
another notable American belongs to-
day.
Priests, lawyers and soldiers were
all obnoxious to him." says a bio
grapher. Consequently, every type
of persecution was practised on the
sect in England and the American
colonies; for long time it was a
worse crime to be a Quaker than a
thief William Penn was jailed be-
cause he was a Quaker; this induced
him to come to America. Numbers
of Quakers men were put to death
in Massachusetts,; in New Hampshire
Quaker women were stripped and
whipped from one town to another,
for Quakers were the first to acknow-
ledge the equality of men and women
in religion and allow women to
preach.
Yet these prosecutions played an
important role in American history,
for they caused liberals in the Colo
MES and infant Republic to set up
the safeguards of religious liberty
which exists to this day.

600 a year, which would make the to-
tai State budget. as now requested
amount to $44, 100000 year., or about
$12,OOO,OOO a year more than it is at
the present time, and without MAX
ing any provision for old age pensions
and other social security measures.
Getting down on a very cOnserva-
tive basis, then, it is agreed that the
school forces will request at least an
increase of $5,OOO,OO0 year more
than the schools are now getting, or
an appropriation of $26,00O,OOO year
for the public schools This, with
the $14,5O0,O00 already requested by
all the other State departments and
institutions, brings the total budget
for State purposes other than high
ways and social security, to $780,,
900 year, or $8,OOO,OOO more than the
present general fund budget, includ-
ing the amount for the public schools.
Won't Show Hand
But for some reason or other, Sup
erintendent Erwin has declined so far
to submit any definite budget request.
Some believe that one reason for his
retlcence to set up any definite figure
is that neither he nor the school

members of the new General Assem-
bly, know what they are going to try
to get from the assembly They want
to make it game Of stud poker and
keep their cards face down until fin
ally called by the General Assembly.
Others, however, maintain that
superintendent Erwin is making
play for the good will of the General
Assembly, but that he does not want
to win the antagonism of the extreme
approTriationists among the school
forces by fixing school budget
smaller than what they want. So in
order to play along with both the leg
lslature, which he is sure to antago-
nlze If he puts the budget too high,
and of the school forces, many of
whom still think he sold them short
in the 1885 legislature, Erwin is
pussyfooting and not making any bud

the meantime it is understood that
ne is trying to maneuver the State
school Commission into making I'D
the budget request and thus pass the
buck for whatever dissatisfaction
might develop among the school peo-
pie on to the commission.

partments and institutions before
the Advisory Budget Commission last
week and this week, amount to ap-
proximately $14,5O0,000 or some 3d.
100000 more than they are now get
ting, according to Frank Dunlap, as
sistant director of the Budget Bureau.
Thus, if Superintendent Erwin should
not ask any increase in the appro-
priation for the public schools for
the next two years, the general fund
budget would amount to $35, 100000,
or $3,000,000 more than it is at the
present time.
Want Salaries Restored
It has been known for some time,
however, that the school forces are
planning to ask the General Assem-
bly, to restore the salaries of school
teachers to their pre-depression level,
or approximately 10 per. cent above
what they now are. This would re-
quire at least $2,500,0OO a year more
for salaries alone, based on the
amount being expended this year, for
teachers salaries, it is pointed out.
In addition to higher salaries, it is
known that the school forces also
want sick leave with pay, a teachers
retirement and pension law, a reduc-
ton in the pupil load per teacher,
provision for 900 additional teachers,
more school buses with adult drivers
and many other items. In fact, those
who have computed the cost of all
the things all the school people want,
maintain that the school appropria-
ton would have to be increased from
