Taxpayers Hope Economies Will Make Up for Lack of Funds, Taxpayers of Warren township were hopeful today of a nine-month school term for their high school students next year, as township officials slashed expenses to counterbalance the handicap of depleted school funds. Resolving that the best way to lift the township out of the financial plight caused by alleged waste of funds by a former trustee, the advisory board has told Charles M. Walker, present trustee, to stretch available funds as far as possible. The township needs $40,000 to prevent clipping of one month from the school term, a move which would endanger status of Warren high school, rated as one of the best rural schools in the state. A state board of accounts report stated that W. H. Cooper, former trustee, “wasted school funds by excessive and illegal expenditures.” The township must pay approximately $50,000 in debts left by Cooper.

This saving is effected by combining bus routes and by reducing pay of bus drivers from $7 to sll a day to a $6.40 average. Trustee Walker declared. The Warren teaching force also is being reduced in the attempt to negotiate economies. School bus driver contracts were let to the lowest bidders.

PLEA SENT TO ROCKEFELLER ON WAGE CUT Matthew Woll, Federation of Labor Official, Asks Scaie Be Kept Up. By United Press NEW YORK, Aug, 3.—Matthew Woll, vice-president of the American Federation of Labor, today placed before the public for judgment the action of the United States Steel Corporation in reducing dividends instead of wages, and the action of the Rockefejler-con-trolled Colorado Fuel and Iron Company in slashing miners’ wages 20 per cent. Woll’s action came in an appeal to John D. Rockefeller Jr. to restore the old wage level, ordered slashed in C, F. & I. mines last week. The miners are not affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. The C. F. & I. wage cutting policy, will, if followed, lead to “world bitterness, internal dissension, chaos, and world ruin,” according to Woll. Praises Steel Company Woll praised the United States Steel Company for reducing dividends instead of wages as “a rebuke to those who would encourage a wage-reduction policy.” The labor official’s appeal was the second in the Colorado Fuel and Iron situation. Last week Miss Josephine Roche, president of the Rocky Mountain Fuel Company, which had announced its intention of keeping its wages at the existing level, also asked for restoration by the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company of its former wage of $6.25 a day. The company had announced a reduction to $5.25. “The real need is for general and widespread increases in wages, not reductions,” Woll said. Hits at Bankers “It is not difficult to understand the demand of a certain class of international bankers to have the wages of English, German and French workers reduced ‘to correspond to the reduction in prices of commodities.’ It is equally clear why they demand a reduction in the wages of American workers so as to permit competition with the products of other lands “It is evident these international bankers . . . are interested now in encouraging and maintaining a lowlevel of prices so as to play the old game of ‘both ends against the middle,’ with the workers holding the sack, and manufacturers and merchants holding their breath until it is squeezed out of them in the bankruptcy courts. “Sooner or later industry and commerce wijl free themselves from the banking control . . . that seems concerned only in making profit on its international and domestic investments without regard to the social well-being of our people. Appeals to Rockefeller “It is unfortunate that the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company should have succumbed to a like error and should have been concerned alone with reducing wage costs. With so many giant public benefactions to the credit of John D Rockefeller Jr., it is almost unbelievable and certainly most regrettable that his influence has not been brought to bear to stop the wage reduction policy put into effect by this company. “I appeal to him to let his influence be felt now.” Woll praised President Hoover’s reiteration of his stand against wage reduction. $l2O ROBBERr LOOT Week-End Holdups Yield Little Return, Approximately $l2O in cash, clothing, stamps and a fountain pen formed the loot in twelve holdups and robberies over the week-end.

Other persons robbed were: Mrs. Rosie Lee, 136 West New York street, $4.80; Mrs. Mary Scott, 937 North Sheffield street, $11; Joe M. Reid, 3834 East Thirteenth street, S7O; George Gerking, Apt. 4, 1028 Virginia avenue, 300 2-cent stamps, 70 pennies and a fountain pen; T. F Gibson, meat market at 301 Massachusetts avenue, $9.

CHICAGO. Aug. 3.—Gus Johnson, 45, recently bought a black coffin and had it delivered to his home marked “preparation for own funeral.” The undertaker thought little of it, for it is not unusual, he said, for men to buy their coffins “in advance.” In addition to the casket, Johnson bought enough embalming fluid to embalm one body, directed that it be held in reserve, and bought a lot in Graceland cemetery. He also bought anew outfit of clothes. Johnson was found Sunday in the black coffin, dead. The gas jets in his house were all turned on He was wearing the new clothes. On his chest was a harp, upon the strings of which the fingers of his right hand lay.

'MAN WITHOUT COUNTRY' HELD SHIPPRISONER England and America Deny Entry to Stowaway, So He Stays at Sea. By United Press BOSTON. Aug 3—The famous character created by Dr. Edward Everett Hale in his story “The Man Without a Country” seems to have been given life in Peter Russell, stranded on the steamer Winona County, plying between this port and Manchester, Liverpool and Cork Russell, due to uncertainty of his birthplace, has been refused entrance to the United States and the British empire. Until the matter is settled, he is doomed to remain aboard the commercial vessel Russell was deported on the Winona County about a month ago as a British stowaway Authorities there refused to permit him to land, claiming he was not an Englishman, but an American, and he was sent back. When the Winona County docked here Sunday Immigation Inspector Joseph V Mitchell ordered the ships captain, R. B Atherton, to hold Russell aboard ship as a technical prisoner The boat is due to leave port in a few days and, as far as authoroities here are concerned Russell will leave, too. Russell’s claim to American citizenship has been proved false, immigration heads say. Russell shipped originally as an American seaman aboard the S. S. Bannack at Baltimore, he missed his ship at Cork and stowed away on the S. S. Bellflower. When he landed here, he gave conflicting stories about his birthplace. After lengthy investigation, he was deported to England. Captain Atherton, in no responsible for Russell stowing away on the Bellflower, seems to be “holding the bag.” Until British and American officials fight the matter out, he is responsible for the man and under continual bond for his appearance.

Scott Mcßride, general superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League is correct. Dr. Mcßride does not believe the Democrats will nominate Governor Franklin D Roosevelt of New York. “At the opening of the Democratic convention, first votes will go to Roosevelt, but he will not receive sufficient support from eastern and northern states to securd the necessary two-thirds majority,” Dr. McBride said. “Then, with the delegates weary, Smith will be advanced, and the nomination will be his.” Neither Smith nor Roosevelt will be acceptable to the league, Dr. McBride said.

EVIDENCE SEEN OF FAILURE AT ARMSPARLEY Lodge Declares European Sentiment Will Have to Show Change. By United Press WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. Aug 3. —The February disarmament conference at Geneva will result m failure, with each nation trying to shift the blame to some other nation, if European opinion does not change, Henry Cabot Lodge, New York newspaper man and grandson of the late Massachusetts senator, predicted today at the institute of politics. “The singular lack of success of the disarmament effort at Geneva added to the recent declarations of France, Great Britain and Germany, has raised the question in the minds of many workers for peace as to whether the conference ought to be held at all,” Lodge said . The attitude of the participants in the forthcoming conference isthat they are unwilling to make sacrifices, he said, while the danger from world armaments exists in Europe, not in this country. Consequently. he argued, sacrifices by the United States would be useless without co-operation from Europe, Another speaker on the coming disarmament conference was Capt. John Willis Greenslade, U. S. N.. who said the United States can not reduce the number of battleships in exchange for similar reductions abroad because the battleship stands for this country in lieu of colonial bases as protection of vital elements of our great commercial dominion. Professor Jacob Viner of the Uniersity of Chicago, speaking at a round-table conference said the importance of the Austro-German customs union in itself is relatively minor. “It would be Important, however for Austria and potentially important for Germany as a step toward a possible larger customs union, including much of central and south eastern Europe on the future.” HOTEL EMPLOYE DIES Miss Winnie Quick, 72, Claypool Worker for 26 Years.
