a TALK FROM TEACHERS

TALK FROM TEACHERS
Members of the Chicago Teachers
Federation surrounded aldermen
after the city council meeting last
night and explained through Mar
garet Haley and Ida Fursman:
"Why don't you aldermen look into
the school revenue question for your
selves? Why do you take the figures
given you by the newspapers!
School operation is crippled for Lack
of money. Newspapers getting cheap
rent on school land leases tell you we
want to add $17,OOO,00O taxes
through excluding taxes for the ed
uCationaI fund of the school board
from the JUL scaling process OF the
JUL law. The figure $17, 100000 is
wild. The bill we ask you to recon-
mend for passage in the state legis-
Iature would not increase taxes over
100000, probably much less"
Aldf Otto Kerner moved recon-
mendation by the council Of the bill

the finance committee to be discussed

The Standard Co. was accused Of
cheating the cattle raisers out Of
$4.15 per animal by keeping hides
and offal from cattle condemned as
unfit for food because Of the lump
Jaw disease. The "Fake-off'' is said
to be $647, 900. The Bismarck Co.

Washington, June 1S.--Former Sec

sistently to offer to mediate between
the nations no matter how many times
the offer may be decline 7. The Unit

II Is finally accepted. Arbitration of
the differences between the nations
must then follow. For the future a
vast educational campaign against

tian nations. Then peace treaties
similar to those made by the United
states with thirty nations binding
them not to open hostilities until a

Annapolis, June 1S.-Two naval

that under certain conditions they
would use stolen examination papers

tice that United States mail pouches
destined for Sweden had been broken

tampered with was submitted to the
state department today by w. A. f.

a request for an investigation.
Mr.. Ekengren delivered to Secre-
tary Lansing a letter written On in

bags were broken, that letters were
opened and censored and that one
registered unit was retained.
Two specific cases were mentioned.

Great Britain, asking that special pre-
caustions be taken to protect American
mail passing through British terri

had been various instances of inter
ference with official mail in this couiin1-
try, and that the Russian embassy
