PINE COUNTY RURAL
SCHOOL NEWS
A. E. GusrArsoN. County supt.

Almost the entire rural graduation
program at the Pine City high school
auditorium Tuesday evening, July
Is, will be given by various men,
bers of the class. Some of the best
rural musical and speaking talent
will be heard. Very likely local
speaker will also give a Is or 20
minute talk. You will like this pro-
gram.
We hope that all of the 225 grad
yates will be able to attend. Diplo-
mas will be mailed to those who are
unable to come.
A photographer, Mr.. Gray, will
again take a group picture. Most
graduates will want to buy copy.
This will be taken while the gradu-
ates are seated on the stage.
We hope to start the program
promptly at o'clock. All graduates
should meet back of the stage upon
arrival so as to line up for the en-
trance march in the order of school
district numbers.
We need the help of some of our
teachers. We hope most of them
will be home from summer schools
on this date. We hold our annual
rural graduation late in July each
year to accommodate our many
teachers who attend summer schools
away.
In the last issue most of our county
papers did not have room for that
extra list of graduates to be added
to the long list first published. Here
is the supplementary list: Alma
Frehse, Muriel Tate, Bernyce john
son, Agnes Danielson, Archie Bjork-
lund, Victor Widstrand and Clayton
Chaffee.
AS soon as additional information
is received from few other teachers,
as requested, we will be able to de-
termine a few other pending cases.
In order to graduate, a pupil from a
non-accredited rural school, must pass
the state examinations in at least
four of the five regular required sub

Over Half Coal
Miners Back On
Job Last Monday
Fifteen of Fl Associations
Signed Contract. South
ern Operators Didn't.
TROUBLE AT HARLAN

After being idle for six weeks,
100000 coal miners in the coun-
try returned to work last Monday
under the first union-shop con-
tract every signed by John L.
Lewis United Mine Workers of
America &C. l. o. and a MAORI
ty of the mine operators of the
Appalachian conference.
Fifteen of the 81 coal associa-
tons signed the two-year con-
tract, concluding the negotiations
which began two months ago and
were marked by the unyielding
resistance to the union shop un-
til President Roosevelt personal
ly interviewed.
SOuthernerS Dissent.
The six dissenting associations
were all southern groups, en-
ploying about $500 men and pro-
ducing 100000 tons a year, but
les followed the majority and
five individual southern compan-
signed separate agreements
There were indications that per-
haps two entire associations
would break from the southern
bloc and follow suit.
The six that withdrew were the
Big Sandy-Elkhorn, Hazard and
Harlan County Coal Operators
associations, all of Kentucky; the
Virginia Coal Operators associa-
ton; the Southern Appalachian
Coal Operators association (Ten-
nesSee and southwestern Virgin
ia), and the Kanawha Coal Ope-
rators' association.
Immediately following the
signing of the contracts, Gov.
Chandler, of Kentucky, sent
troops to Harlan, KY, where they
had been requested and trouble
broke out there on Sunday when
one man was killed and another
one hurt.
1t was commended, however, that
these shooting were not connect
ed with the labor troubles.
The Harlan operators had re-
fused to sign the union contract
and the union workers there are
expected to give a lot of trouble
until they do comply with Die
tator Lewis request.
