TEACHERS PLAN A UNION.

Oro+oo$;on


Minneapolis, July 11.-Plans for a
rational union of school teachers, to
work for more pay and mutual protec-
tion, We're advanced and received with
great favor at the session of the Ma
tional Educational Association today.
The movement was begun by the Chi
cago Grade Teachers federation, and
Miss Ella A. Rowe. it's president, pre-
sided over the meeting, while it's two
energetic leaders. Misses Margaret
Haley and Catherine Goggin We're in
struments in getting the grade teachers
interested.
1t is an organized effort to advance
the claims of the average teachers for
commensurate salaries, permanency
of occupation, PENSIONS and the en-
forcing of agreements with boards OF
education.
Into this question enters deeply the
question of taxation for educational
purposes. The struggle of the Chicago
teachers is responsible for the new plan
of the educators, and Miss Haley and
Miss Goggin, of Chicago, have been
arousing the sentiment in Minneapolis
this week. Milwaukee was we'll repre-
sented at the meeting.

TROUBLE OVER TREATY

fore the instrument can be signed.
Neither the state department nor the
Columbian officials here care to disclose
the nature of the notifications which it
has now become necessary to make n
the treaty. but it is understood all of
them, either directly or indirectly. in
volve the question of sovereignty. Close

Colombia government and develops
important inditferences and

which may not, however, exist in their
spirit. Briefly. it appears to be the
task now before the parties to the pro-
posed convention to define with abb
solute clarity the canal strip. For,
while control is not sovereignty In the
common acceptance of the terms, yet in
practice the two often merge so closely
as to defy Identification and ii is and
has all along been recognized that any
provision OF the treaty which threatens
in any measure the sovereignty OF the
South American republic over the canal
land will not be acceptable to the Col-
umbian congress.

enough land to secure the right -of-wav

the Townsite Company purchased the
rest. The sum of $4,000 was paid for
