Music by Stanley's Orchestra wwwuwuwvww EBERVALE SCHOOL KE Leaders in Walkout Predict That Japan and Harleigh Will Follow Tomorrow. The Hazle township school strike against dismissal of 12 teachers by the board April 2 which started yesterday at Lattimcr No. 2 spread today to Ebervale No. 3 where the throe-room building was tied up. Ebervale strikers predicted that Harleigh and Japan schools will go on strike tomorrow.

Japan has eight rooms and a big enrollment. Harleigh has four rooms. "Politics Has Nothing To Do With The Schools" was the sign that was plastered on the Ebervale No. 3 school building when the students gathered this morning at 8:30 o'clock to form a parade. There are 87 enrolled in the three classes taught by Robert Glennon, principal; la-belle O'Donnell and Agnes Brogan and none of the students reported to their classes.

Instead they greeted. Principal Glennon with a cheer and with smiles when he came to work. One sign also plastered on the school building told him the story. It read "We Want Glennon." Along the lane to the school were chalked signs "Notice to Pupils Ebervale School Is On Strike." Swinging into a parade the 8 strikers lifted aloft the Star Spangled Banner and a sign "Par ents Stick With Strikers." Several women with washboilers used for impromptu drums furnished music and the paradera marched around the four streets that make up the mining settlement nestled against the mountain side south of Ebervale No. 1.

As they marched, they passed duplicates of the above listed signs and another one "Mothers and Fathers Join In Our Strike and Stick with the Strikers." "How would you like to have a wife and children and then be fired? Would you like it," asked the strike committee at Ebervale. At Lattimer No. 2 where 90 strikers tied up the four room build ing yesterday the walkout continued. Perfect order prevailed. The children gathered at the school again this morning but did not enter the building.

John B. Smith, principal, is the storm center at Lattimer No. 2. He is another of the 12 deposed teachers and the students have struck to retain him in the teaching corps. Supt.

M. W. Garrette said today that he will study the situation to report to the school board which meets tonight in closed session as a committee of the whole. The board April 2 voted 4 to 3 to depee the 12 teachers and declined at a reconvened session April 9 to rescind its resolution. The April 2 legislation was enacted just in advance of the 60 days prior to the end of the term given to a school board to make changes in a teaching staff before the limit of the tenure of office act automatically continues for another term the contracts of the teachers employed by the district.

The Hobbie school board, embarrassed last month by failure of the state aid check to come and thereby forced to pay the teachers and the bus drivers only half of the salaries due them for February, has been put to the necessity of doing the same thing again this week. When the board met, the news wa announced that the state aid check for the 1934-35 term has not yet been received so that the funds on hand permitted only checks for 50 per cent of the amounts due for March.
