ORGANIZED LABOR COMES TO
AID OF TEACHERS

Organized labor yesterday came to |
the aid of the Chicago school teachers |
when a committee from the Chicago |
Federation of Labor appeared before |
the finance committee of the school |
board and pleaded for 20 per cent |
raise in salaries for the teachers.
1t was the first time in Chicago's
history that union labor had taken
up the fight of the teachers. And the
members of the school board seemed
quite shocked. When the report of
the coming of the labor representa-
tives reached the board rooms all but
four of the 10 members Of the finance
committee fed.
C. D. Wheeler, E. C. Dillon and
Abraham Peterson, the grievance
committee of the labor body, made
the demand for a raise. Mrs. John
MacMahon, Mrs. Gertrude Howe
Britton, Charles S. Peterson and Will
liam Rothmann of the finance COM
mittee listened to them.
The union men said they repre-
scented AL teachers out of 776 and
that the teachers they represented
want 20 per cent increase instead of
the 10 per cent which the school
board granted when increasing the
school hours.
The Chicago Federation of Labor
recently protested against the 10 per
cent and went on record as favoring
20 per cent.
Eve do not wish the members of
the board to submit this question of
increased pay for teachers for in
creased work of one hour per day to
any outside organization, said E. C.
Dillon eve do not approve of the
efficiency division of the city civil
service. We have investigated it and
found no use for it." II
"'Organized labor stands to de-
crease working hours" said Abraham
Peterson. "The teachers are bring

for their extra hour of work, and in

another hour, then pay the union rate
of one and -one-half or double for
overtime
The finance committee, or what
was left of them, promised to con-
slider the demands. School teachers.
would not discuss the possibility of a
strike.

The French succeeded in capturing and retaining the Mala- khoff and the attacks of the English on the great Redan and of the French upon the little Redan were tempo- rariIy successful, but after a desper- ate struggle the assailants were com peIleld to retire, having suffered heavy losses.
 The Russians fought with remark able valor, as evidenced by the cas- ua1ty lists of the allies. The French lost 1646 killed, of whom five were generals and twenty-four superior and 116 inferior officers. besides 4.5o0 wounded and 1 400 missing. The Eng fish losses included, 385 killed of whom twenty-nine were commission ed and forty-two non-conmissioned officers, with 1,SS6 wounded and 176 missing In the night the Russians sank or burned the remainder of their fleet, destroyed as much as they could of the Qualifications in the south ern part of the town, and retired to the northern forts. The French and English troops marched into Sevasto- pol the following day.
 SeVastopol, which is at the south west point of the Crimean peninsula overIoo joking the Black Sea, was re- stored to the Russians after the con cIusion of peace, but, Russia was de- barred from restoring the fortifica- tfons until 1SS5, since Which time Russia has built extensive docks and fortifica tions and launched many nal val vessels. It is now a beautiful little city, and it's ocean boulevard is famous.

Alliances and ententes are but tran sient things, mere pawns in the great game of diplomacy, to be swept into the discard when they have fulfilled a. temporary purpose. Thus to-day we see Great Britain, France and Russia as allies in a terrible war, while but three-scorej years ago England and France were. fighting the armies of the Czar in the Crimea. To-day marks the ffty-ninth anniversary. of one of the most important events in that conflict in which the British Lion and the French, Imperial Eagle opposed, in defense of Turkey, the rayenous Russian Bear. Sevastopol was evac- uated by the Russians and entered by the allies on Sept. g, 1855, follow ing furious battle which had ragged all the previous day.
 The siege of Sevastopel was one of the f1ercest in modern warfare. It comm enced on October IT, 1854, when the allied army, which had taken up it's position on the plateau between SeVastopoI and BalakIava, conmenc- ed furious attack and bombardment The assault failed, and there followed series of sanguinary encounters by day and night, in which both sides lost heavily During the winter the allied armies, especially the British, suffered severely from the cold. The men were not adequately equipped to withstand the rigors of a Cri1nean win ter, and the icy blasts that swept in from the Black Sea and from the north hern wastes carried sickness and suffering in their trail. The British government was charged with gross neglect Of the troops in the Crimea, and the Aberdeen ministry resigned The allies kept pounding away on lSevastopo1 until Sept.
