AS a result Of the yarn. there were

The story quotes Holpuch, member
Of the board of education, as saying
that he stepped in on a board meet
ing last night to discover that a sec
ret session was being held in which
a mysterious letter from Miss Mar
garet. Haley addressed to Michael J.

being read. The story would lead

follows no explanation of what said
letter is all about or whether it
amounts to anything at ALL
There is an inference that the
board and the Chicago Teachers
Federation, of which Miss Margaret
Haley is an official, entered into a
coalition.
There is nothing mysterious at all
about what the teachers federation
is doing" said Miss Haley today.
Every action was discussed in four
public mass meetings held in differ
ent parts of the city. There were at
least 1000 people at these meetings,
so the plan of the teachers can be no

-'Mr. Holpuch is simply trying in a
childish way to get even for the coup
the teachers gained over him during
his campaign against Mrs. Ella Flagg
Young. At that time he had a meet
ing held in his ward, the 18th, the
object Of which was to have Mrs.
Young assailed by the audience to
give him the excuse to openly oppose
Mrs. Young, saying the people of his
ward demanded the opposition. When
the meeting was held tWo-thirds of
the audience were teachers who we're
loud in their approval of Mrs. Young.
He has blamed me for this.
''Mr. Holpuch has just returned
from California. Perhaps he is not
informed as to sentiment in favor Of
the increase, and perhaps he does not
know Of the public meetings at which
the present campaign being conduct
ed by the teachers was discussed and
indorsed."
HoIpuch said today that he was
suspicious of any movement with
which Miss Haley was associated.
''My fight is in the interest Of
economy" he said. Instead of
spending S1,5OO,OOO more money, I
think the board of education should
