UNREST ON ISLAND Compulsory arbitration of labor dis- putes, minimum wage boards and the fixing of hours of labor by legisla- |V tion, may be ail right in theory, but in actual practice they work out dif- ferently, according to H. J. Patten, the Evanston grain broker, who re- il& turned Wednesday from an extended trip through Australia. Instead of Australia being a Utopia and "a country without strikes," as ft was described a few years ago by the late Henry D. Lloyd, it is today a country more troubled with indus- trial .unrest than the United States. Ifr. Patten made an exhaustive study of industrial conditions while in the antipodes and he failed to see that class of "contented, happy workers" Which some writers have seen on the island continent on the other side of â- the globe. Circulating Petition Asking For New' School to be Built at Once. Residents of North Evanston Northwestern University This Ye*r Will Haw the Largest Graduating Class in History. GREAT NEED FOR SCHOOL -%**!./'â-  Realising the need of a new school in the north end a petition has been placed in circulation which, when signed, will be presented to the school board asking that a new building be erected. Although the petition has been in circulation but a few days many names appear on it and the residents are all in favor of the move. 547 TO RECEIVE DEGREES More than $00 students of ^North- western university, members of the graduating class of the College of Liberal Arts and of the departmental schools, Sunday listened, to a bac- calaureate sermon (by Bishop Wil- liam Fraser McDowell of Evanston, resident bishop and president of the board of trustees of the school. An I audience of more than 4,000 were in The Central Street school, the only I attendance at the Northwestern gym- Few Wealthy Men There. It is true, according to Mr. Patten, that there is not as wide a chasm be- tween the man at the top of the social scale and those at the bottom as there is in th^te country. There are comparatively few wealthy men in Australia, and Mr. Patten saw no ab- Ijefct poverty er slums in the cities, lljwt'he^ explained that slums exist 'paaly in large cities and there are no §|iI!l**jdMe* in Australia. * HI;'ftrw ...Patten thinks the advocates of government ownership of railroads ,-..T ... t ^^v-v4ews--if--tliey- madef a personal investigation of the Australian railroads as he did. "The railroads are all. owned by the gov- ernment," said Mr. Patten, "and they are,, without exception, the worst in the World. The government is ex- tremely slow about building exten- sions and it will not permit private capital to develop the'system.1' As for the strikes which are sup- posed not to exist in the country which has adopted compulsory arbi- tration, Mr. Patten saw plenty of them, called in defiance of the law td Che government, which is under i|*ae control of the labor party, looks on complacently and In some in- stances encourages the workers. H "While in the City of Wellington li/Mr. Patten saw a strike of street car |; men, ;.. The conductors *were supposed ; to be rather absenUnlnded in the matter of registering fares and the school in the North End, is practi cally filled now. One room is all the vacant space in the building. Because of the fast growth of that section of the city it will be necessary to bring this room into use when school opens up in September. New Building Needed. This makes it absolutely necesary that the new building be erected by a year from this September, according to the petitioners. The residents realize this and for that reason the petition will be presented to the board at the earliest possible moment. The petition asks the board to call & special election so that the voters of school district 75 will have a chance to voice their sentiments. It is cer- tain that the movement* will carry by a large majority if it is put to a vote. The school board owns a lot at the comer of Colfax street and McDaniel avenue. This could be utilised for the site of the new building and save the expending of a large sum for land. It is not the intention of the people to erect ,a__ monstrous and elaborate company adopted the American mi ^method of employing 'spotters.' f^ | employes resented the innovation and | struck on two hours' notice.

The members Of the school board are aware of the need of the new building as well as are the other reel- dents of the district and it is believed the board will act quickly and favor- ably on the petition when it it pre- sented to them. Those circulating the petition are trying to reach every voter in the dis- trict in aa effort to secure the senti- ment of the residents before the ques- tion; is put to a vote. One petition is kept in Paulson's drug store at the corner of Central street and West Railroad avenue, while two or three others are being taken among the residents. Those circulating the petition stat- ed that out of all the persons asked to sign the petition no one has as yet refused to place his name on the pa- per. nasium to hear the remarks of the bishop. The class which this year will be graduated from the College of Lib- eral Arts is the largest in the history of the college. One year ago the number of graduates' to receive bachelor degrees in the College of Liberal Arts was 147, the largest class up to that date. This year the number of similar degrees to be given will be 175. In addition to this num- ber, thirty students receive master degrees. Four Hundred Professional Graduates. In the department schools about 400 degrees will be given to the pro- fessional students. "The peril of the American people," said the bishop, "is the temptation to yield to temptation just once under the plea of ultimate good, to make compromise for, the sake of winning the world, thinking through the favor gained to advrjice the success of worthy causes. The world is not won by compromise. You cannot conquer the devil by bowing to him and doing him honor." "How will you use your power/' was the keynote of the bishop's ad- dress. He took for his subject the three temptations of Christ. What are you going to do with the great power you have received through your education? Will you turn the current of power to your own ad-^ ***r *zLi Our Is ]pleasiiigmanv women. It enables ^hoosewife to tt^S as well on the New Perfection Stove as over a coal fire.
