HEARST INVITED TO ADDRESS
LABOR MA SS-MEETING HERE
Committee Authorizes Secretary
to Ask New Yorker to Come
to Richmond,


The committee appointed by the Central
Trades and Labor Council to arrange for
mass-meeting in the interest of the pro-
posed labor temple met Friday night in
s1arks's Hall. and organized, with Mr..
j. II. Coffin. as chairman, and Mr.. Sidney
Gates. secretary.
After much discussion OF plans the Sec
rotary was authorized to write the Hon.
William Randolph Hearst to address the
mass-meeting.
Aside from the gentleman from New
York {, Ia proposed to invite several
local speakers to be present. Those sug.
gested are Governor Swanson. Hon. Allen
Caperton Braxton, and Hon. George C.
Cabell Mayor Carlton Mccarthy Will be
asked to preside at the meeting, which
will be held in jth. Academy of Music.
There seems to be little doubt that the
project for the establishment of a temple
here Is ssured ~ success. as such build
ings in cities much smaller than Rich
nlond have been erected, and many bene-
fits reaped therefrom. The committee
will meet again February Cd, when final
arrangements for the meeting will be
submitted to the Trades Council.
The fact that Mr.. Hearst is. to speak
in Washington carly in February, to
a gathering OF labor people has been
an incent We to the members Of the COM
mittce to ask him to present his views
to the Richmond people.

mond. still comparative estimates show
less appreciated, when considered in rela-
ton TO the character of the work re-
CURED in this department.
From the figures compiled by Mr. Wal
ford 1t is shown that the thirty female
. teachers at the Richmond High school at
present receive an average annual salary
OF s525. The compiled statistics from thr-
ty-elght cities in the United States having
population of fifty thousand or more,
show that the average salaries paid to
female teacher in the high school grades
Is Ssei, the Richmond salaries being just
sixty per cent of the average amount paid
in other cities of our class.
In the case of district school teachers
or teachers in the grammar grades
there are at present 237 female teachers
III Richmond, with about thirty in the
recently annexed territory, whose aver
age annual salary Is s4lS. In the same
thirty-eight cities listed above, the
salaries paid TO the female teachers In
the district or grammar grades, aver
ages S572. In the grammar grades
therefore, Richmond pays only seventy
three per cent, of the amount paid In
other cities OF our class for the IN
struction OF our young people.
While the School Board therefore Is
prepared TO make most vigorous
fight for an increase in the pay OF
teachers at least to a living basis. yet

4 The profession Of teaching requires
8 certain amount of study. entailing cost
of books and making some travel very
desirable. Summer Institutes are recon-
mended for all our teachers. but teach
ers who through nine months have had
struggle to make ends meet some
times giving more worry to their own
financial problems than TO the care of
their classes, have nothing left IN the
unpaid summer months with which TO
travel or TO attend summer schools or
Institutes The regulations require neat
ness OF dress, and principals are expected
to report to the board from time to time
as to the personal appearance and neat
ness OF their teachers.
g. The reason might be advanced
that 1t entails harder work On the part
of the teacher to keep fresh on a variety
of subjects than to specialize and teach
a number of classes the same subject.
Our district teachers are expected to
teach all elementary subjects. except de-
partmental work while at the high
school. as rule, each teacher teaches
but the one branch In which he IS
specializing.
c. Constant teaching Is trying to the
sensibilities and nerves OF the teacher.
ii requires closer application to the sub
ject, and closer attention than many
of the other professions now open to
women.
e The work gives employment and SAL
airy for only nine months. while the con-
ditions are so exactng that the average
woman cannot take other employment in
the summer. but must rest during the
vacation period without pay. A teacher
