MISS HALEY SAYS TEACHERS
WILL LOSE IF MILLER WINS
IF Bill Thompson elects the man
he wants for states attorney of Cook
county he will be able to destroy the
case of the Teachers Federation now
pending in the supreme court. The
case went to the supreme court >On
the petition of the states attorney of
Cook county and the president of the
Teachers Federation. 1t is in the
power of the states attorney to with
draw the case. It involves the legal
ity of the Loeb rule, which forbids
teachers to organize and to affiliate
with the Chicago Federation of Labor
and the American Federation of La
Dor. With us it is not political or
partisan affair. It is a matter of life
and death"
This is part of an attack by Mar
garet Haley, business representative
Chicago Teachers Federation, made
before the Chicago Federation of La
Dor yesterday. Harry B. Miller, the
candidate of the Thompson-LUndin
organization for states attorney, was
singled out by Miss Haley as the one
man most important for organized
labor to smash in the present cam
paign. If Miller goes. over on Nov.
z then the case now in supreme court
might as well be counted a lost fight,
according to Miss Haley.

bers of the Teachers Federation

of the board said nothing is going to
