4 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 9, 1921 i --_--_-- -- MEN'S CLUB TO HEAR NOTED SOCIOLOGIST Dr. Arthur J. Todd To Address April 19 Meeting--Election of Officers a Feature Dr. Arthur J. Todd, who has been on a leave of absence for a year from the University of Minnesota, where prior to that time he was head of the Department of Sociology, and who is now in the Industrial Rela- tions Department as Labor Manager for B. Kuppenheimer & Co., will talk on the subject of "Pioneering the Paths of Industrial Peace," before the meeting of the Winnetka Men's club on Tuesday, April 19. In conversation with Dr. Todd, he made the following statements: Intensified Hostility "As the world is in a mess of in- dustrial turmoil, which is in part the result of the century of capitalism and workers' organizations, the war and its aftermath have intensified the hostility between class and class. Both employer and employe want certain assurances and safeguards; some of these are incompatible and some mutual. The various plans for arbitration, employe representation, profit-sharing, 'industrial democracy', or whatever name it may be called, are simply experiments which look toward ways of reaching common understanding and adjusting in- dustrial conflicts or avoiding them. I shall lay special emphasis on the ar- bitration method of maintaining in- dustrial peace."' Talk On Schools At the conclusion of Dr. Todd's talk and the discussion following, Mr. Carleton W. Washburne, our school superintendent, will have charge of "a discussion, urging greater support to the schools and legislation in con- nection therewith. This being the last meeting of the year, there will be an election of officers for the ensuing year. A nominating committee, com- prising Frank F. Fowle, chairman, John R. Leonard and Barret Conway, has been appointed. To assist in making this dinner a success, it would be greatly appre- ciated if all acceptances would be sent in to Charles F. Simpson, 506 Provident avenue, telephone Winnet- ka 1563, as early as possible. WANT STORAGE PLANT Application for permit for the erec- tion of a four-story fireproof storage warehouse on Center street, north of Elm street, has been made before the Winnetka Village Council by the Ire- dale Fireproof Storage Company of Evanston. An architect's sketch was submitted to show the character of the improvement, estimated to cost $60,000. The Grounds, Buildings and Plats committee of the Council is in- vestigating the matter and is expect- ed soon to report its conclusions to the Council. Building Activity Hits Peak This Week Permits Issued By Department of Public Works Reach Total Valuation of $105,800 Winnetka this week reached the peak in the Spring building boom with a total valuation of $105,800 es- timated in permits granted by the Department of Public Works.

Superintendent Washburne spoke of the urgent necessity for passage of a bill now before the state legis- lature which would provide more money for public instruction. At present practically all public schools are in debt, he said. Teachers are underpaid and in many places chil- dren are being taught in unsanitary, heated rooms. The situation is very serious, he concluded. Every member of the board was urged to do everything possible to influence passage of these educational bills and to write to representatives at Springfield urging prompt action. A group of north shore members of the Chi Omega sorority attended the annual Founders' Day banquet held on Tuesday evening at the home of Miss Helen Savory in Birchwood. 0 JZ Careful Garage Service-- When your car is placed in our hands for garage service it is safe while it is here and when it leaves us it goes out: in perfect condition.
