TO ASK
HELP: OF PUBLIC
Federation Members Hold Pro.
test Meeting: in Chicago to y
Save Union. -

CHICAGO, Sept. 1O.-AMembers of
the Chicago Teachers Federation
held a protest meeting at the Audi
torium theater Wednesday night to
get their side Of the controversy with
the board of education before the
public and to arouse sentiment which,
they hope, will cause the board to
retr eat from it's position.
The teachers will center their in
terest in the effort to have a grand
jury investigation of the senate COM
mittee to learn who is financing the
committees activities and paying its
labor bills, which are said to be
large. The teachers expect the grand
jury inquiry to uncover the forces
that are responsible for the fight on
the federation.
Plan Test in Courts.
By that time they say they prob
ably. will be in shape to start legal
proceedings to test the power of the
board to restrict their right to join
any lawful organization. All OF the
teachers returned to work Tuesday,
and the details of the battle to be
waged by the federation will have
to be worked out by Miss Margaret
Haley, business representative, and
Miss Catherine Goggin.

BY Congressman Clyde III. Tavenmer.
.HE american people should
- not permit themselves to be
u fooled by the expression:
= peace at any price"
:s%:,f'- will venture to say that
not one public official in the United
States, not one man outside Of luna
tic asylum has ever advocated "peace
at any, price"
To be for peace at any price would
be equivalent to saying that a foreign
our homes and attack women, cut off
our hands and legs and gouge out our
eyes, and that we would still be for
peace. 1t is absurd! Any nation
jumping on us or invading our fair
land with the idea we are for peace
at any price would receive the sur
prise Of their lives. - -.
Peace at any price" is merely the
officially adopted cry of anguish o.,
the stockholders Of the munition and
armament firms, and theirs friends,
who are making use. of it to take the
wind out of the sails of any man
who has the audacity to oppose their
war propaganda-and their private
profits.
THESE patriots for profit-the rich
4 est and most powerful group Of
men in the United States-have their
minds set on vastly increased arma-
ment. and they want no interference.
But what is more important, and
more significant, they also have their
minds set on SUPPLYING THE IN
CREASED ARMAMENT THEM
SELVES. T.
In this connection I desire to sug-
gest . to the American taxpayers a
method by which they can turn the
tables and take the wind out of the
sails of the patriots for profit who
hold stock in munition firms and cry
out to heaven for preparation for war:
Have congress say to the ]. p. Nor
gan's and the other war trust stock
holders, some of whom are men high
in Official life:
"All right, gentlemen, YOU can have
ia fleet of battleships that will darken
the seas, and Notifications that will
cumber the earth, but the government
itself will maufacture all Of its own
war paraphernalia in government
plants. But although you will not
draw down the fat munition contracts
