This marks the end of an unsue-

the part of citizens of the Little Cy-

voting the second 910,000 bond issue
for the purpose of completing a new
building for the combined schools.
Thia ia the information brought
back by Miss Allie Bland, county
school superintendent of this county,
from Austin, where she called on
the department heads and went into
details the latter part of this week.
The department is behind the dis-
trict in authorizing beginning of ac-
tual work on the building during the
coming week. In addition to the
regular state aids that w cover ap-
propriations for industrial equipment
—-transportation, the department will :
give a bonus of 91900 because of -
the combination of the two districts.

AUSTIN, July 2.—Through the
work of the state department of la-
bor, a total of 925.059 was collected
during the last five-month period in
wage claims. Charles McKemy, state
labor commissioners said tday.
Individual claims ranged ' in
amounts from a few dollars to sev-
eral hundred dollars, the smallest
clim adjusted being $8 due a ne-
gro dishwasher. _ and the largest.
9579. due an oil field worker in |he
Panhandle oil district. All of the
money collected went to the wage
claimants.
The state department of Ibor
functions under a law passed in 1915.
which authorizes this division to hear
claism of workers concerning wages
due The department, acting as in-
termediary. tries to settle th claim
satisfactorily. but If necessary insti-
tutes court suits to collect ' the
wages for hd worker.
“A large percentage of these wage
claims originate in the oil fields and
are against unscrupulous $ promoters
who operate under a declaration of
trust or other jnstrument apparently
drawn up for the purpose of evading
obligations incurred for labor when
