MERELY COMMENT The trust press and the coal trust know what they want. When anybody breaks in on the game of the coal trust then the trust press runs his pitcher and tells every body "Soak him." - While they're soaking Milt Booth, why don't they soak the high guys who fix the price of coal? Mysteree: What does a teamster coal wagon driver do with the ?3 a day he earns-? Does he go to Palm Beach and Laws Angles with the Uphams, Pea hody's and Insulls and John J. Mitchells? I And now Sam Insull says fran chises ought to be termlnab'le and Busby says not and Walkowiak backs up Busby and the straphang ers go on straphanging. Easy for a $10 a day reporter and a $50 a day editor t6 knock a $3 a day coal teamster on strike against $1,000 a day coal kings. A little more money in the pay en velope for those coal teamsters is going to help the grocers and land lords., The only losers are the loan sharks and the collection agencies. Fifty cents a day more for the teamsters which they got is more than the Field store folks got for New Years. Thanks!

In each case action has been delay ed months or years. Once more in each case there was nothing doing and the record says "deferred." Vice Pres. John W. Eckhart told rules committee Dawes rule ought to be enforced. Since Jake Loeb was elected president of the board there have been no reports from the school superintendent giving the names of persons, who speak for favors for teachers. It used to be known as the "pull list" Trustee Piggott intimated it makes "mere automatans" out of trustees. Action deferred with all prospects that the rule will be a dead letter and Sup't Shoop will not pub lish any "pull list." Permits for religious services have been granted Roman Catholic and Protestant churches for religious services in public school buildings for many years. "As long as I can re member," said Sup't Shoop. Aqtion of proposed rule to bar religious services of any and all kinds was de ferred. Military training has been estab lished without violation of law, ac cording to Att'y A. R. Shannon, the board's attorney. Also the Chicago Federation of Labor demand for a referendum is in bad because "You cannot amend the state school law by the little ballot," as Shannon sees it o o RAIDER DISAPPEARS Buenos Aires, Jan. 23. German rai'der has apparently disappeared just as mysteriously as she arrived in the South Atlantic. Her next ap pearance, in some far distant part of the world, heralded by another' "drive" on allied shipping, was today predicted as the next word to be heard from the rover, . maa&j&2ti&ti&MMmmMmemmmmad
