TEACHERS ASK BETTER PAY.
School Board of Burlington Likely t.
Be Embarrassed.

Burlington, April 2.-The teachers in
the. city schools are pouring in petit
tons for better salaries, altho the
school taxes have been increased three

salaries are usually increased and last

sidered. There is no question as to
the right of the educators to ask for
more money. as the salaries paid in
Burlington are much lower than in
other cities, and competent teachers

Two thousand five hundred coups

COUNTRIES ACCEPT
SHIP REGULATIONS
United States and New South
Wales Settle Question of
Passenger Certificates
Will Do Away With Necessity
OF Carrying Double Equip
ment of Life Apparatus

VANCOUVER, B. c., Sept. 26.-Ad-
vices reached officials of the Canadian
Australian line yesterday that re-
ciprocal agreement had been. entered
into between the United States and New
South Wales on the question of passen-
ger certificates for steamships.
The question has been under consid-
Grafton for four years and until this
agreement was signed it was necessary
for the Australian liners running out
of Vancouver to carry two sets OF
equipment. The United Kingdom, can
ada and the United States have a re-
ciprocal understanding whereby they
reco gnize each others certificates, but
no such thing was in force between
Australia and the United States
AS a result when the liners called
at Honolulu, which is American terri
tory, and took on passengers they had
to carry two sets of life belts and other
gear to comply with not only the Aus
tralian demands but also those of the
United States.
The information that the agree
ment had been arrived at was issued
from Washington by H. Uhler, super
vising inspector general, and in future
New South Wales will recognize Amer
lean certificates and the United States
will recognize those Of the southern
cross.
