Fireman Archie Kenny rested on

Reply to Oppression Meet
ing Set for March 10.

New Yorks public SCHOOLS are threat
ened with. OF promised according to
the poin. Of Wow. q thorough unionzcd
teaching force in which membership
cards and anliation with the American
Federation Of Labor will be az impor-
tant a feature Of tho teachers stand
ing az her educational test.
Henry r. Linville. biology teacher IN
the jamaica High School, issued n
statement last night IN which he an
nounced that the teachers would attend
a meeting, called for Merch 10. in the
Washington Irving High School. for
the purpose of organizing the union
and opening campnign for member
ship.
DR.. Linvillss description OF the pro-
posed organization indicates that 1t will
80 step further than the Chicago
Teachers Federation and become a labor
union In organization as we'll az opera
tiou. Also, he intimated. that Margaret
Haley, the militant business agent OF
the Chicago body, would be present at
tho organization meeting for the pur-
pose Of delivering an address to the
umid teachers. who always have enter
tanned q dread Of strikes, lockouts'
walking delegates and those features
Of unionism that they associate with
slugging and deeds OF violence.
While the Chicago body still main
tains "a shy aloofness from actua'
mingling with male unionists ~ the
carrying of union cards and such minor
matters. the Jamaica advocate OF
uuionism believes that threats OF cut
ting teachers salaries have wiped ou'
oil considerations of ethics here.
There are 10000 public school teach
crs 90 the city OF New York. and Prin-
cipal Linvile pictures them as future
organization Of such strength that no
legislator or city official would have
the temesity 20 NEEDLE with their sal
aries or other rights and privileges.
"The first duty Of our organzatiol
will be 20 protect tenure in office and
the present salary schedule said Dr.
Iinvillc "The Teachers League ls
known as radical organization. but
its reason for existence IS that ii can
be used by the teachers In asserting
their rights.
Great interest is being manifested
IN the proposed union Many teach
ers. especially carefully reared young
women. have objected TO , ing known
as members Of labor union. But. ~
view of the recent threats 20 cut the
salaries of teachers DO order 20 reduce
school expenses. think they have seen
the necessity for disreearding those
objections 20 membership, and even
would look with favor upon union
cards
