TEACHERS MINUS PAY.
Pittsburgh Education Board to Ap-
peal to Washington.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, March 6.-The
Pittsburgh board of education will
probably appeal to the controller of the
currency at Washington to determine
whether payment on checks deposited
the day before a bank has been closed
by the controller can be ordered
stopped shortly after federal authori-
ties have taken charge.
The question grew out of the closing
of the German National Bank here
Thursday, a day after several public
school teachers had deposited their
monthly pay checks. which had been
drawn on a local trust company by the
board. The teachers appealed to the
board, which at once ordered payment
stopped, but there is some question over
the legality of the action. Until the
case is decided the teachers will be
minus their pay.
