FAIL TO BREAK SCHOOL STRIKE IN IRVINGTON Board Refuses Demands of | Parents; Attendance Law j Enforcement Hinted. Strike of fifty-six pupils of School 57 as a protest over transfer to School 85 remained unbroken today, despite threats of school board members to enforce attendance laws. Threats were made today by several parents to move to other school dis .icts. Several others planned to enter their children in the Catholic school, two blocks west of School 57. Practically all the striking children remained out of school today. A committee of five, representing parents of the striking pupils, protested recent boundary changes, causing pupils living north of Washington St- and east of Arlington Ave. to be transferred to School 85, at the school board meeting Tuesday night. Refuse to Alter Boundary The board refused to alter its boundary lines announced several days ago. A delegation of more than 100 Irvingtonites living south of Washington St. was present to protest any fhange in the present boundaries. The strike was started Monday when the new boundary lines became effective. Objections presented to the board’s ruling, voiced by Orville E. Crawford, spokesman, were principally the additional hazards imposed on children forced to cross Washington St. and also the unguarded Arlington Ave. Pennsylvania railroad crossing. Promises of police and school police protection at crossings were given by the board. Purchase of seven and one-half acres of ground south of Broad Ripple High School to allow for expansion. urged by a delegation from the north side, was taken under advisement two weeks. Delay Architect Selection The board authorized by resolution a temporary loan of $550,000 to meet current operating expenses, $375,000 to be borrowed from the Shortridge building bond fund and $175,000 from the Arsenal Technical building bond fund. Selection of architects for four grade school buildings was delayed until a special meeting. Resolutions to name two Indianapolis schools after Joseph J. Bingham, former board member from 1871 to 1887, and George B. Loomis, first musical director, appointed in 1888, were taken under advisement.

Good Business The chief interest in railway rates manifested by a good many shippers and receivers of freight is that of having rates on their shipments made and kept as low as possible. Is that good business.’ Every man who understands and appreciates business principles realizes that those with whom he deals must make a fair profit in order to give him the right kind of goods or service. lie could not afford to plaee orders with them if he had reason to believe that their Prices were impossibly low. Such logic is self-protec-tion. The concern that is markedly out of line on 1 lie side of cheapness either will not remain long in business or will be forced to skimp on quality or service in order to “get by.” x So it is with the railroads. Furthermore, the service they sell is so intimately connected with the success of every other business tjiat "the price of it is relatively much less important to the buyer than is the character of the service. It railway service were non-existent or scarce, it would be cheap at any price. fortunately, however, railway service is plentiful, it is, good and it is so efficiently produced in volume that it can be and is sold at incredibly low rates. Where else in the world can a ton of freight be moved as expeditiously, as safely, as reliably, and as conveniently for a small fraction more than one cent a mile? Vet that is the average American freight rate, which means that many shipments are moved even more cheaply than that. Such service would seem nearly the ultimate in economy, yet there are those who would whittle railway rates even lower than they are, ignoring their own interests in having tlie railroads realize such a profit as will enable them to produce service, having the important virtues of speed, safety,.reliability and convenience. I It is not good business to force the price of any product so low as to impair its quality, ami that principle applies with all the greater force in the case of a product which is so essential to individual and national well-being as the service the railroads perform. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. L. A. DOWNS, President, Illinois Central System. CHICAGO, February 1, Fjflc.
