DENY COMPENSATION PLEA
Risk Board Acts on Case of Street
Car Conductor Killed While TAX

Madison.-The application OF the
widow Of Robert Neumann, Milwau-
kee, for compensation under the
workman's compensation act, for the
death of her husband, was dismissed
without award by the railroad COM
mission.
Neumann was a conductor in the
employ Of the Milwaukee Street Rail

the controller in the temporary abb
sence OF the motorman and turning
onto a switch the car was thrown
from the track and Neumann was
run over and killed. 1t appeared at
the hearing that Neumann had never

always enforced that conductors
should not attempt to run the car or

VOTE s106,00O FOR
BLACK RIVER FALLS
Sum Is Finally Agreed Upon by
Legislative Conference.
N0N-PARTISAN BILL PASSES
Election Measure Affecting Cities
Throughout State Wins in Senate
and ssembly--Socialists Worked
Hard for Its Defeat.

Madison.--Black River Falls will
receive food fund OF $106,000.
This amount was agreed upon by
the conference committee appointed
by the two houses. The compromise
agreed upon left the appropriation
of $1,000, as provided in bill No.
TIA, as it was. This reimburses the
relief committee for money expend-
e. III construction work and for fill

not be menace to tho community's
health. The cut by the finance COM
mittee of the appropriation in No.
ia of s65,00O to $4,000 was al
lowed to stand
The assembly originally voted
$136,000, and the senate cut this
amount to $4,000. The assembly
rejected the amendments of the sem
ate, and the appropriation was ad-
tusted by conference, the committee
advising $4,000 instead OF S65,00O
for sanitary purposes and the relief
of restitution and $4,000 for drain.
age purposes.
1t is generally felt that with the
appropriation made. the situation at
Black River Falls can be cleared up
and the people of that city put fairly
on their feet
The nonpartisan victory was made
complete and the fusion ticket for all
larger cities of the state at the pri-
maries and general elections finally

LOOK FOR JUMP N
PAY OF TEACHERS
Conditions in Wisconsin Give
Rise to Belief.
SUPPLY LESS THAN DEMAND
Increased Wages in Other Desirable
Occupations, Scarcity of Educators
and Improved Standards Expected
to Bring About Increase.

Madison.-That the average sal
airy of the teachers Of Wisconsin will
be materially increased this year is
the belief of the state superintend-
ent's office and educational author
tiles. There are two agencies mill
tating to increase the salaries of
these 10000 teachers.
First, there has been an increase
OF salary In other desirable occupa-
lions and teachers are becoming
scarcer.
Second. the standard of the teach
Ing profession of the state has been
increasing gradually and there are
larger number of high school, nor
NAL and university graduates seek
ing positions who demand a higher
salary than the country school teach
err, who can offer instruction only
In the rudiments.
in fact the salaries of teachers
have been increasing gradually for
the past ten years, and will increase
more rapidly this year" said Charles
l.. Harper, chief clerk in the Office Of
the state superintendent of public in
struction. I'm the country districts
men teachers were receiving an aver
age salary in 1900 of $43.S4 and
the women teachers $31.79. Two
years ago the average salary of men
teachers In the country schools was
$66.69 and of women teachers
$4429. There has been a similar in
crease OF salaries in the city schools
In 1900 male teachers in the cities
received an average salary of $91S.24
and in 1910 the average salary was
$1,0S6.46. In the same ten years
the average salary of women teach
ers in the cities has been increased
from $40S92 to $52773."
There has been a gradual Increase
In the number of male teachers en-
ployed in Wisconsin. According to
recent figures compiled at the Office
OF the state superintendent only L.
71S men are now employed as COM
pared to about 1901 women. There
are about $500 teachers employed
in country school buildings Of only
one room.
while the higher cost Of living
has much to do with the increase in
the salaries of teachers in the past
ten years and will have much to do
with the problem this year. there is
still another factor to play still
more important part" declared Mr..
Harper. "The number of teachers
who are graduates from the normals
and the universities is increasing
These people are going into the
graded schools and the higher class
country schools, and they are de-
handing higher salaries for their
services"
