Low SALARIES
FOR TEACHERS

Low salaries and high living expenses
have combined TO decrease the number
of school teachers in rural New Castle
county, according to A. r. Spaid. sup
erintendent of the New Castle county
schools who is making ready for the
opening of the schools on Monday.
"But few girls are now anxious to
prepare themselves as teachers in the
county schools" said Mr.. Spaid, "be-
cause the business colleges offer them
shorter term of preparation and
higher salaried positions after they
complete their courses The average
salary paid county school teachers is
now S35 a month; many girls in busi-
ness houses earn much more.
Country school teachers are now
paying as much as SIG a month for
board" continued Professor Spaid
After this payment the teachers have
but $40 a month for other expenses
not a very large amount, IL is true
Years ago there were two applicants
for every leadership IN the county
but now applicants are so few, because
of the low salaries paid and the high
price of living that some of the posi-
tions have had TO be filled by persons
who simply wore dresses"
Although the county board Is yet
in need Of three teachers it is prob
able that they viii be obtained before
the opening day Of the school term.

OPPOSE WORKING
WITH NON-UNIONS
Telegraph Strikers Securing
Signatures to the ROOSe-
VeIt Petition
BY THE JOURNALS Special wire.


NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-The question
Of whether brokerage operators shall
be called out to join the striking COM
mercial telegraphers is stin unsettled,
as the meeting scheduled for last night
to determine the question was post
poned until this evening owing to the
absence of National President Small
from the city temporarily. The basis Of
dissatisfaction among the brokerage
men is the requirement in many cases,
that they work with non-union men.
Both sides still claim to be satisfied
with the situation. More men were put
lat work however, by the strikers Sc
curing signatures TO the giant petition
from business centres asking President
Roosevelt to use his good offices to end
the strike.
Danger Of a strike Of operators Of the
Long Island railway apparently has
been averted through the announce
ment made last night that the company
is preparing a new schedule of hours
and compensation to so into effect as

HIGH PRICE END

Dealers Blame Shortage Of
Crops to Present High
Cost Of Living

Will the prices OF the necessities Of
life each reach the limit? VIII they
ever cease in their upward flight? There
are among the daily queries OF the
housewife as she trudges home with a
market basket. which IL has cost from
two TO three dollars more TO MI than
it did this time last year, and which,
from present indications, it will cost
even more to an before the close of
the present season.
In days past the walls Of the con-
sumer have been solely directed against
the Beef Trust, whose commodity has
advanced from forty to one hundred
per cent i'm the last decade, and Is
still on the increase, but now the far
mer. produce merchant and huckster
come in for their share of criticism.
for not meat along but every COM
modify has advanced In price.
Apropos of fruits and vegetables the
produce merchant comedies the adj
vance but shifts the blame on the far
mer, who, i'm turn, attributes the con-
sumer's burden to late crops, short
age Of crops and lack OF farm help
When a prospective purchaser asks
the price of sirloin steak today he or
she finds that it has advanced at least
three cents per pound within the past
two months, which completes an in
crease of from six to seven cents with
in the last year, and accordingly, an
increase of from ten TO twelve cents
during the past nve years.
Other meats, excepting pork have
accordingly advanced in price, while
in some instances. the price has doub-
I led during the past decade.
And the increase is not due to a
dearth of cattle. but actually. to a
dispute between stock-ralser and
packer.
Vegetables Also High.
/ Within the past three months the ad-
vance in the prices of fruits and veg
etables has been startling. Among
produce merchants and hucksters the
opinion prevails that this increase Is
due 20 late crops in some cases; IN
others, 10 shortage of crops.
From present indications IT will be
utterly impossible 10 supply the de-
mind for fruit during the canning sea-
son. From every section of the coun-
try a shortage In crops is reported
lOf course, following the economical law
of supply and demand the price has
Increased.
A remarkable feature of the present
situation lies I'm the fact that mer-
chants experience no difficulty In dis
posing of their goods. despite the great
rise in prices.
