LONGEVITY PAY RULING
SOUGHT FOR TEACHERS
Commissioners Take Up Board
of Educati0n'S Contentious
With Controller.

Request for a reopening of the whole
question of longevity pay of teachers is
contained in a letter from the board of
education which the District of Column
bia Commissioners today forwarded to
Controller r. J. Tracewell of the
Treasury.
Under a previous decision of the con-
troller. teachers appointed to lower
class on returning from authorized va
cation or reduced in position are entitled
only to the basic salary of that class
without longevity pay regardless Of pre-
Vious length of service.
The board of education's letter. COM
municatiOn of fifteen typewriter pages,
goes into the question at length 1t con-
tends that when a teacher returns from
leave of absence and is assigned again to
duty to a position in the schools calling
for the same salary which she was re-
ceiving at the time her leave Of absence
was granted she should be entitled not
only to the basic salary In that class, but,
in addition thereto, whatever longevity
her experience in the public schools en-
titles her TO.
When Teacher Is Reduced.
1t is further contended by the board
that when teacher, on return from
leave of absence. is assigned to posi-
ton in the schools calling for lower
class salary than that which she was
receiving at the time of taking the leave
of absence. she is entitled to receive the
basic salary of the class to which re-
duced, and in addition thereto. whatever
longevity allowance her experience in the
school entities her to.
These questions are regarded as being
so vital to the proper administration OF
the schools in relation to the whole ques-
ton of the assignment of teachers. the
hoard states that it desires a reopening
hv the controller of the question of re-
auctions in order that the board may
have at least a minimum amount of f1eXi-
biIty in the exercise of it's power to as
sign teachers without working an injus
tice in the reduction of salary agains,
teachers who may have been granted a
leave of absence for good and sufficient
reasons.

Speculation concerning the method of

May Enlarge I. c. c. Powers.

As result of yesterdays decisions
there may be, however. necessity for 1ur-
ther enlargement Of the powers OF the
interstate commerce commission, it is said.
The decisions in the state railroad cases
demolished the assumed authority of the
states over certain features of interstate
commerce.
If it is found desirable to effect what
the states sought to accomplish in those
specific features, the states may appear
to Congress to vest the authority IN tne
Interstate commerce commission. in cases
where it may not lie there now
The decision i'm the Union Pacifc case
was highly pleasing to statesmen from
the far west. They assume that 1t ef-
fectually destroys the long-compiained-o
mergers between the Union Pacific and
the Southern Pacific. and that the roads
will proceed in good faith to carry out
the dissolution.

Sir Lionel Gardens dispatches be.
