REGARDS STORY
As IMPROBABLE
Vice President Henderson of
School Board Discusses Sal
aries of School Teachers.

When seen by the News" today,
Judge II. P. Henderson, vice president
and member of the city board of educa-
ton, said that he had heard nothing
relative to n concerted effort on the
part of principals for an increase of
salary. or the probability of some quit
ting their positions In case the raise
was not Forthcoming. He had read in n
morning paper something to that effect,
but stated it as being his belief that
neither principals nor teachers We're
finding fault with the board of eduoa-
ton, for 1t Is apparent to all. he added,
who are familiar with the situation,
that that organization Is doing all in
its power Ia better tho state OF affairs
in the matter of teachers pay.
1T Is too true, and the fact Is deplor-
able" declared Judge Henderson. that
the school people are underpaid, but the
fault lies not at the door OF the school
administration. Principals and teach
ers cannot but feel that the constantly
increasing price of living makes deep
inroads upon an income that has not
been proportionably raised. This stiu-
alton, however. is not confined to the
class mentioned. but is general among
all classes and conditions, 1t Is but nat
ural for each one thus affected to wish
for and obtain, II possible, an increase
OF wages, or. II more lucrative posi-
lions offers, make such changes as will
insure n better living.
Persons who follow teaching as a
means of livelihood ARE no exception to
the rule, and 1t is expected that some Of
them will be found taking up other
linese of work. But, as before stated, 1t
is doubtful IL very many changes will
occur in Salt Lakes corps of teachers.
They themselves assisted In the COM
mendable work that resulted In an act
OF the legislature making II possible to
somewhat increase the salaries OF ped
agogues. The extra money went di-
rectly where the friends OF the law in
tended II should, namely, for the most
part to teachers In the lower grades.
The board is powerless to do more than
1t is doing. and I believe that tho prin-
clrals and TEACHERS fully recognize
this fact and | look for no arbitrary
action in the premises"

Washington, d. c.. Aug. 20.--A special
fast freight train from the Atlantic to
the Pacific coast, to run on regular
schedule, is scheme proposed by Mai
John M. Carson, chief Of the national
bureau OF manufactures, to the man
agen. ents of the tTanscontinental rail-
way systems as a means for building
up the trade OF this country with the
orient.
II now requires so days TO transport
freight from the Atlantic to the Pa
oific coast, and even this extended peri
cd is not guaranteed, the time SHIP
ment is enroute sometimes exceeding
three months, states a Washington, d..
c.. report. One OF the greatest draw
backs the American exporter now has
In getting trade in the orient Is the
uncertainty of delivery OF goods, and
shipments made for the summer trade
often are delayed on the way until that
season Is far past, 10 the great loss OF
the buyer and the certain discontin-
uance of further orders.
The idea OF n special freight train
to the Pacific running on a fixed sched-
ule grew out of the recognized disad-
vantage unde~ which the United States
works in her attempt to compete with
European countries for trade In China,
Japan and other oriental countries.
Germany, England. France and other
European countries have direct com.
munication by regular schedule win

livering goods at a specified time IL

which these countries hold their trade
