TEACHERS CHARGE ACCOUNTS
CUT OFF ON STATE ST.
Three State street stores have by
their action toward Chicago Teach
ers' Federation members served no
tice on the thousands of civil service
workers who live in Chicago.
That your credit is cut off and your
charge account withdrawn when you
lose your government job, unless you
own real estate that guarantees your
account.
That it makes no difference Wheth-
er you are an efficient" worker with
high rating, if you lose your job you
lose your charge account and it's no
use to appeal that your discharge
from public service. was unfair and
demands correction.
These facts were brought out in
the meeting behind closed doors of
the Teachers Federation Saturday in
Masonic Temple. The big stores
named by teachers whose charge &C
counts were summary withdrawn
are: Marshall Field & Co., Siegel-
Cooper & Co., and HiIIman's.
Both Pres. John G. Shedd and Vice
Pres. James c. Simpson of Marshal
Field & Co. were away from their
offices this morning. But Pres.
Shedd's secretary made this state
ment:
81 have not heard anything about
charge accounts of public school
teachers. Our credit department is
considered the best in the city and if
on the basis of reports from mercan-
tile agencies it has withdrawn these
accounts it is because future income
of those involved appears to be stop
ped. You may say positively, how
ever, that this store would not with
draw an account because of a teach
er's membership in labor union, a
church, a political party or any other
organization "

Mrs. J. G. Henderson died suddenly
this morning about four O'Clock. at
her residence on North Kentucky
avenue, aged 46 years.
The news OF her death will come
as shock to the community as Mrs.
Henderson had been in unusually
good health until only a short time
before her death She retired last
night in apparently as good spirits
as usual and it is thought that her
sudden passing away was due to
heart failure.
Mrs. Henderson is survived by her
husband, Mr.. ]. G.. Henderson, and

sides several younger children. who
have the sympathy of the commun.
ity in their unexpected sorrow.

LEGAL TECHN|CAlIT|ES
TO Be GUARDED
AGAINST IN BOND
ELECTION FOR
GOOD ROADS

NO opportunity is going to be CIV
en- to those who may be opposed to
the proposed bond issue in Polk
county to hold up a favorable result
OF the election on account of any
technicality, as has often been the
case before in similar matters where
sufficient care was not exercised in
complying with all the various re-
! quirements of the law.
While the county commissioners
may not be an absolute unit on the
question of bonding the county, they
are unanimous in their desire to
have the matter legally submitted to
be final with them, and after which
they none of them wish to see the
carrying out of the plans interfered
with by any bubbles and technical
tiles. Therefore, some of the mem
bers of the board are co-operatine
with the Polk County Good Roads
Association in looking throughly in
to all matters of law and procedure
whereby the result may be safe
guarded from error or possible omis-
sion to do what is required in order
to have the bonds properly validated,
if the result of the election is fav-
orable.

ence in connection with hcr recent
