TEACHERS MUST EXPLAIN.
New York School Board to Investigate
Higher Pay Campaign.

NEW YORK, June 13--"Did the women
teachers raise fund to influence support Of
their measure for equal pay, and. if SO.
how much money was raised, and who got
ito"
That was the question asked by Gen.
George w. Wingate at the meeting of the
board of education yesterday afternoon
after an exciting discussion preceding the
adoption of a resolution for an investiga-
ton of the legislative campaign waged by
the teachers of Greater New York Tor the
passage of the White bill, a measure pro-
vidng for salaries for women teachers
equal to those of male teachers in similar
grades.
''Th:; is not a personal matter" continued
Gen. Wingate, and we should not Tempt
to make it personal matter because the
feelings of the members of this board are
injured as the result of matters that hap
pened before and after that trip to Albany
and the legislature. An investigation is nee
essary because the teachers have injured
the school system OF this city. The teach
ers violated section of the charter if, as
| am informed and believe, they raised a
fund in support of and to influence legisla-
tor on the measure in which they were in

by this fund
