MOORE SCORED AT
NORTH SIDE CLUB
School Superintendent Accused
of Warning Teachers to
Avoid Meetings
Pedagogues Quoted as Saying
They We're Threatened With
Loss of Positions

ALAMEDA, Nov. 2S.-Charges that
School superintendent Fred T. Moore
had directed members OF the school de-
partment not TO attend the meetings Of
the North Side Improvement club and
that he had threatened pedagQgues
with dismissal if they disobeyed Ills
order were made at the meeting Of the
Improvement organization held in the
city hall last night.
The charges were made by ]. A.
Bernstein of Clement avenue and Ev-
erett street, a member of the club. He
declared that he recently asked a
neighbor of his, who is an instructor
in the school department, to attend a
meeting of the North Side club and
that the pedagogue replied that he
would be pleased to do so only for the
fact that School superintendent Moore
had let it be understood that he would
look with disfavor upon such an act.
Bernstein said that his teacher friend,
whose name he did not mention. had
told him that since Prof William T..
Mclaughlin of the faculty OF the Ala
media high school and a resident OF the
north side, had at a meeting of the
North Side club criticised members Of
the city council in the controversy over
a proposed franchise grant to the
Southern Pacific company in Clement
avenue, Moore had issued mandate
that thereafter no member OF the school
department was to attend a. meeting OF
the North Side club If he wanted to
hold his position in the department.
Another member of the club. ]. f..
Hanson, moved that a communication
be sent by the club to Moore to ascer-
tain just what his attitude toward the
North Side Improvement club was.
Hanson's motion to demand an explana-
tion of Moore was lost.
When superintendent Moore was
asked as to the truth of the Bernstein
charges he said:
II did not send a note to a member
of the school department while he was
attending a meeting of the North Side
club instructing him not to do so, as
has been reported, but did tell men,
Der of the school department who I
knew was attending these meetings
not to mix in politics.
