SCHOOL BOARD FINALLY GETS
IN SLAP AT TEACHERS


Jacob LOeb's pet millionaire school
board finally took a fall out of the
school teachers of the city. A two
year effort to cut the workers sal
aries pulled through Wednesday,.
1t wasn't a regular Out-and-OUt cut
Of salaries. That would be too raw
even for the highbrOw crowd that
hasn't hesitated to kick union labor
ever so often. But the cut stunt was
pulled this way:
Summer schools are in their sec
and year. Last season they ran
three hOurs'a day and four days a
week. There was little study and
the children were allowed to play
most Of the time; they were taken to
a city park once a week.
The work was so easy last year
that the teachers too poor to enjoy
vacations were glad to take the jobs
at less than their regular salary.
This year things are different. The
summer schools are running full
force in II schools. They are in op-
Grafton five hours a day and five days
a week, the regular time. "
The course of study is a stiff one.
Children are in some cases allowed
to take five months work in the two
months summer school term. And
of course the teachers must work
that much harder.
So Wednesday, instead of giving
these tOiling teachers their regular
salaries for the work which is hard
er than their regular work, even if
the days didn't seem so long and hot,
the school board refused to pay them
more than last year, when summer
schools were playhoUses.
These millionaire trustees COM
planned that they didn't have the
money to give the teachers a regular
wage. Yet they pay $4,000 to a
of the board and $2O,O to

LAKE PASSENGER FLEET WAS
TIED UNSETTLED NOW
ChiCagO's lake passenger fleet was
completely tied up in a strike of the
marine firemen and lake seamen/ all
last Saturday, when Victor Olander,
head of the Lake Seamen7s- union,
ordered a walkout to enforce the de-
mands of the union that extra sea-
men carried by the new seamen's law
be paid full union wages. Today
agreements were signed by the com
panies.
The Goodrich, South Haven, Ora
ham & Morton and North Michigan
Transportation lines were affected.
The strike lasted from Z o'clock in
the morning until 1920 at night,
when the South Haven line signed.
THE strike was really called to
make the companies live up to the
new seamen's act" Victor OIander
told The Day Book. eff they could
have had succeeded in their intention
to pay these extra men. less money
this would have been used as an ar
gument in Washington to kill the bill.
Our men will receive wage increases
amounting to from $40 to SIS month.
The companies have agreed to hire
all union men and to meet commit
tees from the union. One of the first
questions we will discuss is that of
safety. We say that if a boat isn't
reasonably safe we don't care to sail
on it ourselves"
The Seamen's union is holding the
same sort of a strike in Milwaukee |
against the Crosby and Pere Mar
quette Transportation companies.

ARTILLERY FIRE
KEEPS UP At THE
VERDUN BATTLE

The lull in infantry fighting in the
Verdun region of Frances continues
this afternoon. The artillery, how
ever, is keeping up active work.
French guns have been energetically
cannonading German positions in the
Malaeourt wood on the edge of the Ar
gonne forest, north of Verdun, all day
today. The intention, apparently, is to
break up an anticipated attempt on the
part of the Germans to leave this cover
or make further attempts to advance
southwark.
East of the Meuse the German bonn
bardment appears to have diminished
in intensity, with only intermittent fir
ing reported in the vicinity of Doua-
mont and the region about Damloup.
In the Woevre region there has been
little activity of any nature during
today.
Russian forces in the east continue
to make determined attacks on Ger
man positions along the northern
front, and considerable interest has
been aroused in the operations there.
Berlin admits no permanent Russian
successes at any point along the line
but this does not coincide with reports
from other sources. News dispatches
from Petrograd continue to claim Rus
sian advances at various points, and
assert stragetic advantage accompanies
these forward moves.

Herrera Loyal to Gen. Carranza

Herrera ''LOyal to Gen. Carranza.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March "a
American Consul Fletcher, at Chihua-
hua City, reported to the state depart
ment early today that there is no truth
in the reported revolt of General Her
rera and the Carranza garrison at
Chihuahua, and later reported General
Herrera is still in command of the
garrison there and still loyal to Gen
Carranza." This report removes one
OF the menacing features of the situa
ton and was received by officials here
with satisfaction.
Both Generals Funston and Bell,
commanding troops along the border,
had received apparently authentic in,
formation confirming the revolt story.
Administration officials here, however,
regard the Fletcher despatch as en-
tirely reliable and confirming prev
icus statements by Carranza officials.
