Wallace today said that the 290 High School. teachers belonging to the association, who represent 9) per cent of the entire teaching corps of the St. ulty meetings in their various schools next week, will vote on a proposal to affiliate with the Central Trades an’! Labor Union, The decision was reached yester- day after a meeting at Central Y. M. C. A., which was attended by 80 per cent of the association's member- ship and at which Joseph A. Wora- cek, president of the Central Trades and Labor Union, told the teachers | that they would obtain satisfactory filiated with the labor unlons. Two-Thirds Vote Required. A two-thirds vote in favor of the proposition to join an organized la- bor body is required by the constitu- tion of the High School Teachers“ Association in order to carry the proposal, Wallace said that many high school teachers were dissatisfied with the schedule recommended Wednes- day by Supt. Withers, as it means only a 21 per cent increase over their November, 1918, schedule, whereas they had demanded a 33 1-3 per cent increase. Prof. Charles Ammermann of Mc- Kinley High School, chairman of the Joint Publicity Committee of the High School Tteachers’ Association and the Grade Teachers’ Associa- tion, today gave out the following statement: | “The Superintendent says the re- quest for 38 1-3 increase is reason- able. The high school teachers be- lieve there is no valid reason for not granting their full request, since the new schedule calls for only $736,000 above that of 1919-1920, while the increase in revenue will be approxi- mately 51.250.000. Maximum Salaries. “The statement that the school maximum is $3200 can very easily convey the impression that 4 number of high school teachers re- ceive this sum. The pubite should know that only 39 receive the maxi- mum this year—about one in nine. The public should also know that two-thirds of the high school teach- ers receive a salary below the aver- age. Similar statements can be made about the salaries of the’elementary teachers. This year the maximum is $1650 plus $188, but only 70 receive that sum, or.about one in 20. Of the 1502 elementary teachers, 772 receiv> salaries within $40 of the average, which is $1200 plus $188. “Unfortunately it is the policy of the Board to deduct half the salary hen a teacher is absent on account of sickness, exeept in quarantine cases—a policy that is not followed in many institutions. This year the policy was extended to the $188, which is considered an ‘extra’ and not a part of the regular schedule. “The Publicity Committee was — to correct certain misleading Continued on Page 2, Column 4. “golden opportunities” vestments. to make in- | He said the agent later called and persuaded him to invest | L Ern. 125 in stock of a motor truck con- which stock he later found to Manufacture of Any Li- | ° ° 2 lcline to use to preserve the integrity | cials Receiving Such Sal- r other league members. quor in Homes. | aries, Barnes Says. | In Progress Several Days.
