Members of the Central Labor Union
will nttend n meeting of the Hoard of
Education this afternoon to see what
action has been taken on a complaint
made by representatives of the unions,
that Miss Mary M. McCurdy. a teacher
In the Rherlden School, Is nllegcd to
hnve spoken against union labor.
The committee on cducntlon of the
Central Labor Tnlon requested nn in
vestigation or its complaint tn a leuer
to the board.
The letter from the Central Labor
1'nlon called the board's attention "to
n dangerous policy said to be followed
by Miss McCurdy."
The message pointed out that or
ganised Inbor In Philadelphia does not
believe in militancy and has never in
any labor dispute countenanced vio
lence or terrorism.
"We believe the Honrd of Education
holds with us," says the letter, "that
both capital nnd lnbor are entitled to n
'square deal.' Wc are confident you
would appreciate our calling breaches
nt tbnt snunre deal; to vour attention,
lust as we would welcome a similar
action bv those outside our ranks."
It is because of its belief, the letter
says, that the Central Labor rnion
iisks an investigation of charges that
Misa McCurdy Is stirring up industrial
disorder In the northeast.
"We nre informed that she has re
viled the union movement to the scholars
in her continuation classes, that hc has
endeavored to convince continuation
pupils, who nre working in union shops
that "union leaders are unfit to follow
and that she has advised her pupils to
go home nnd urge their parents to get
out of the unions to which they belong,"
Denies Truth of Charges
Miss McCurdy denied the truth of
the Central Labor I'nion's charges.
"There is absolutely no 4ruth in the
statement," 'she said. "1 liuve no
recollect on of having mentioned hiboi
UmloiiH to the children, as I hnve no oc-
CUH10I1 lO 10 li". rtlluuilHll i until s:ui
rent events, I hnve not bad ocension to
speak of labor unions for n long time.
"Misunderstandings of the teacher's
words by the pupils are common occur
rences. The children in my classes are
from fourteen to sixteen years of, ago,
both boys and girls."
Samuel Toiupklnson principal of tlie
school, sent for Mrs. Agnes Tate, an
other teacher in the ssinii! grade, to con
film Miss McCurdy's statement.
"Such mistiiiderstnndliigs are fre
quent," said Mrs. Tnte. "We have two
current events classes, and Imvo spoken
to the children about wage reductions,
nolntinc out that if prices nre to come
down wages must be reduced. We also
hnve told the pupils thnt a fair day's
wage should be paid for a day's work."
"We have frequently deplored boi
shevism in talking to the pupils," said
Miss McCurdy, "but we never have
sought to corniest bolshevlsni up with
the labor unions." lioth Mrs. Tnte
nnd Miss McCurdy said they were not
miti-unlon.

WED INJVRONG STATE
Danville Couple, Married In 1903,
Go Through Second Ceremony
Danville, III., March S. nccause
thev were married on the wrong side of
thn' street. Mr. nnd Mrs. Almon J.
I.encve, of Danville, wedded since 1003,
went through a second ceremony nt
T'rbnna, to make the wedding legal in
Illinois.
After obtaining a license In Danville
in 100I1, to marry Louise Johnson, Le
(neve decided that the ceremony should be
performed In the new home ho had fitted
up for bis bride lu the town of .State
Line, on the Illinois-lndlann border.
Tho house was just over the line in
Iiidlann, but the question of legality of
the license did not occur to the Leneves
until recently, following tho marriage of
their daughter. Attorneys were con
sulted, and as a result the second wed
ding was arranged.
OAVES CHILD FROM FLAMES
Mrs. James Hughes, 18,'tO Smith
Fifty -sixth street carried her Infant
child to a neighbor today before sum
moning engines when she discovered
n fire in tho kitchen of her home. A
defective Hue Is believed to have caused
the blaze. The flames were confined to
the kitchen, Tho damage Ib estimated at
$G00.
Carl Anderson bought n gun after
burglars had made five attempts ' to
break Into his home nt 2'JO North
Fifty-fourth street, and early this
morning, when they tried a sixtli time,
shot one of them.
The wounded burglar escaped with
two companions in a long. tow. red
touring car, which bad been parked,
with the engine running, across the
street. Kvery hospital and physician
in the city lias been notified to watch
for a man seeking treatment for a gun
shot wound.
Anderson's aunt, Mrs. II. B. Smith,
conducts a cigar and grocery store at
the Fifty-fourth-street address. Ander
son, since the first attempt to enter
the place, mado live weeks ago. has
been sleeping on the first floor nt the
rear, the better place to guard against
robbers.
"It wns nbout 12:30 o'clock this
morning," snid Anderson, when I henrd
a noise. I woke up and said to myself:
'There's somebody trying to get in
again.' I thought I'd get him before he
got me, so I cocked my gun. A mo
ment later there wns a noise of rendin?
wood, and I saw the window of my
room go up nnd n man appear there.
1 lirccl and the window went down
again suddenly. Then I shot ngnin
through the glass and rushed to the
window.
"I fired two more shots. I could
see by the light of the arc lamp that
one of three men who were running
ncioss the streit was limping, ami I
heard him sav to one of his compan
ions: 'Jim, I'm shot.'
"The cur was standing just ncrnss
the street. Its engine was running, nnd
tho three jumped in and sped nwav."
Anderson telephoned to the police of
the Sixty-first nnd Thompson sheets
station, nnd tho motorcycle bandit
squads were sent out to scour the
neighborhood. The rakish red ear.
however, hod got away, und the huut
was abandoned after some hours.
Tlie first time burglars sought to get
Into the houso they made three at
tempts in one night. Anderson each
time scaring them off. A week Inter
they tried again, this time with n
skeleton key. oAgaiu Anderson's
watchfulness frustrated them. The
fifth attempt was made with a "jimmy"
on the side door. Anderson heard the
noise nnd drove thew away once more.
After this fifth attempt bo thought
it was iidouc time to arm lilmseir.
"WETS" TRICK "DRYS"
AND PREVENT HEARING
Break Up Quorum, Scoring In En
counter on Enforcement Bill
Du n Slntf Correspondent
Hnrrlslmrg, March 8. Wet members
of tlie House scored a b ir moral v c
tory today in tho first real encounter
between the wet and dry forces this
session.
Twelve wet members of tho House
law and order committee, the commit
tee which passes on nil wet nnd dry
legislation, remained away from tlie
committee meeting today and nrcventcd
a quorum when the committee met to
tnko action on tho Martin bill, which
repeals the lirooks law and provides
tor real state cntorsement.
Tho trickery had its Inception a week
ago. During the absence of Representa
tive John Ickerman, of Allegheny, and
Representative J, Ross Horne, of Cam
bria, who were not notified of a meet
ing of the committee, tho twelve wet
members of the committee jammed
through a resolution which made thir
teen of the twenty-five members of the
committee necessary for a quorum.
The drys have a majority of one
vote. When the committee met today
onu dry was absent. There were still
thirteen members present, because in
ifddltion to the twelve drys one of the
thirteen wets missed his cue and turned
up in the meeting,
The committee wns nbout to act on
tho bill when there was a rnp at the
door of the committee room. Tho wet
advocate was called out. He never came
back.
The moral victory of the wets N ex
pected to be shortlived.
Another meeting of the committee bas
been called for today.
Pennsylvania Itnilrond officers nnd
employes would be permitted passes for
use only in "the performance of their
duties," nnd their wives nnd families
would lose the pass privilege altogether,
under a resolution referred to the board
of directors by the stockholders today
nt their annual meeting.
' The resolution wns introduced by
II. K. Alexnnder, a stockholder, who
maintained that the distribution of such
grntulties amounted to millions of dol
lars annually and wns detrimental to the
interests of the stockholders. The reso
lution follows :
Whereas: 1'nder the present nnd
past managements of the Pennsyl
vania Ilntlroad Co. its olheers Imvo.
in the performance of the duties as
signed them by the stockholders of
this company, assumed the right not
only to pay prevailing rates of wages
but In addition to distribute among
the officers nnd employes of the com
pany gratuities ot great value in tlie
torm of free transportation : and.
Whereas: Such grntulties, called
railroad passes, amounting In value
to ninny millions of dolinrs uiitiuully,
arc detrimental to the interests of
the stockholders of this company ;
Resolved, Thnt the executive of
ficers of the Pennsylvania Railroad
be directed immediately to discon
tinue the issuance of free trnnspotta
tion except to otficers nnd employes
while trnvcling on the trains of the
company in the performance of their
duties to the company.
Admits "Liberal Tolicy"
Samuel Ilea, president of the com
pany, presiding nt the meeting, which
was held in Withcrsnoon llnll, said in
reply to Mr. Alexander:
"Fasses arc all issued tinder the priv
ileges given in the Interstate Commerce
Commission's ruling, and are limitca to
officers and' employes. Admittedly the
poller is liberal. It could be modi
fied." He made no reference ns- to the amount
involved ench year, and to which tire
Alexnnder resolution referred.
It is understood the Alexnnder reso
lution is directed ngnlnst pnsses issued
to employes nt stnted intervals and
for their personnl use while not on
company business. With the railroads'
vast number of- employes, elimination
of this privilege would admittedly in
crease company revemm, or decrease in
like proportion traveling by employes.
To Vote on Stork Issue
A resolution adopted b.v the directors
at their December meeting to increase
Indebtedness of thn company by !l(0.
000,000 will be passed upon b.v a stock
vote nt the annual directors' meeting
March '22.
I'.xpeuditurc of this money is intend
ed to extend tlie company's business
mid lines, and eliminate present obli
gations. George Valentine Mas.scy. a
beavy stoeunohier, mane tnc -jnmion
that the matter of increased Indebted
ness be passed upon finally b a vote
of the stockholders.
Lenses of sixteen important lines in
the central part of the country, and
covering periods of from !H,"i to Uilll
years, lire being passed upon by a stock
vote.
Chief nmong the lines which will be
operated under long-term lenses is the
rittvburgh, Cincinunti, Chicngo nnd
St. Louis Railroad Co. the Pun
Handle System.
A motion to change the dnte of the
anuunl meeting from tlie second Tues
day In March to tlie second Tuesday in
Auri wns unproved : this is to enable
tho completion of the voluminous re
ports of the company's business which
must now lie prepared under federal
and state requirements. For the saint'
reason the annual meeting and election
of directors will be held hereafter on
the fourth Tuesday of April, instead
of the fourth Tuesday of March.
The meeting was attended by neatly
.'100 stockholders and was one of the
longest on record, lasting foity -eight
minutes, A number of women were
present.

"Title companies." said Senator
Vare. "don't make money. They just
