Editorial

During the first week before va
cation, first-grader, Harold Gompf,
was struck by a car while he
was crossing street-corner in
front of the grade school building.
Although he wasn't injured, the in
cident caused precautions to be TAX
en- in order that the same thing
might not happen again-with more
serious consequences.
The school has taken part of the
precautions by putting regular pa i
trolman on duty at 1870, the time
when the first and second graders
are dismissed at noon. The incl
dent should make all school stu
dents more careful to obey the traf-
fic rules, and respect the patrol
mans orders. II should, however,
have its greatest effect on the
toWnspeople and workmen who use
the streets near the school. Drive
slowly, and look out for the other
fellow. as we'll as for yourself es-
pecially when the other fellow
IN the case is child too young to
protect himself.
We hope that this unfortunate in
cident may redouble the efforts and
cooperation of the patrolmen, the
school children, and the toWnspeo-
pie to preserve Libby's exception
ally low number of traffic ac-
cidents.

Packrats Are Active GROUP

Although it is not very we'll
known, the Packrat Stamp Club is
one of the busiest clubs in this
school Since this club is open to

of Mr.. Wood, the club adviser and
John Friend, the president, the club
has planned an active program for
this school year They plan to hold
several stamp exhibits next spring,
one at which they will display a
complete set of standard United
States stamps, which have just been
issued. This club has helped great
~ to revive interest in stamp col

Under the Microscope

Here IS your old friend, Profess
sor TWeedlesnitz, just returned
from the Wilds of Study Hall with
a prize senior specimen: the we'll
known pianist of the genus Rich
ardson, species Jeanne. Let us OBJ
serve her closely She is tall and
slender Her hair is dark brown.
her eyes blue-grey. An unusual
point about this specimen is that
she literally can't stand hot water.
We hope she will never get into
hot water in life.
Let us now inspect the subject TO
discover her aims and ambitions.
She likes to design dresses It's
done purely for fun but she hopes to
turn it to practical use some day.
Would she like to go to Holly
wood? Yes, but not to act in movies,
Just to see what goes on there. !"
She is a Peptomist of long stand
ing Asked if she has ever been
in a school play, she replied Eyes,
IN the fifth grade I had the part
OF an egg, We feel sure she was
good egg.

j. N. v. DEMAND
3O+H0UR WEEK
Convention Orders Officials
to Make Terms in Soft
Coal Contracts.

The United Mine Workers' conven-
tion ordered union officers today to
demand . 30-hour week In the 1899
contract with soft coal operators.
In all other respects. the conven-
ton gave the officers . free hand In
dealing with the operators, directing
them merely to obtain the best pos
sible agreement"
Numerous complaints from dekeates
OF conditions in their districts, were
referred to district officers.
Joseph Gladski Of Shenandoah, Pa,
said the Philadelphia & Reading Coal
q Iron Co. had instituted q system OF
double physical examinations that
made 1t impossible for miners with
some physical trouble contracted In
the mines to get jobs.
The miners in his area, Gladski
said, were threatening to strike unless
this situation was changed.
The Mine Workers coasted to an
anti-climatic ending of their 35th con-
vention today after = dispirited de-
cision yesterday afternoon to leave "the
case Of William Green" to their Inter-
national Executive Board.
Empowered to revoke the member
ship Of Mr.. Green, now president OF
the American Federation Of Labor
and for 48 years . member of the
U. M. W., the unions Executive
Board gave no indication today a
to when. If ever, it might call upon
the Federation chieftain to make q
last stand. Mr.. Green refused to
appear before the board in November
1896, on the grounds it was a preju-
diced tribunal. He refused to appear
before the present convention on
grounds 1t had no authority to try.
Only . few speakers, with Presi-
dent John L. Lewis not among them
arose yesterday to express themselvea
on Mr.. Green and the charge OF
treason directed at him. But when
the question was put Of approving
the recommendation to refer the issue
back to the board with power to expel
the 2,009 delegates arose without dis
sent in SUPPORT.
