RULES BENEFIT TO FISHING,
shad and Herring Receipts for Past
Week One-Fifth of Season Record,

That the enforcement of the regula-
lions keeping trap nets in the bay
and lower Potomac out of the deep
water of the channels will be beneficial
to the fishing industry of Washing
ton is shown by the large increase in
receipts of shad and herring in the
past week. The records at the wharf
market show that from noon of Satur-
day, April S, to noon of yesterday a
total of 29.1sO shad and 4I6,235 her
ring were received by the dealers
This. it is stated, is almost a fifth of
the total receipts of the whole of last
season. from January ! to June l.
The indications are that this fishing
season will be the best the Potomac
fishermen have seen in many years
Fish would have been consderabl
cheaper on the wharf market the past
week but for the fact that Philadel-
phia and New York were short of
shad and herring. and this market
sent its surplus supply to those
markets. Only the amount actually in
demand was kept here.

TEACHERS IN BALTIMORE
MAY ORGANIZE A UNION
Some Fear Expressed That School
Board May Adopt Hostile
Attitude.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
BALTIMORE. Md. April 15.-There is
a strong movement on foot within the
ranks of the public school teachers to
unionize, and action will probably be
taken at the regular meeting of the
Elementary Teachers Association next
month. The movement to unionize was
set afoot several weeks ago when a
labor leader addressed the association
and urged the advantages of unoniz-
ing. The teachers We're told that by
forming a union they might force the
issue for higher salaries, for which
they have been fighting Tor many
years.
The teachers themselves now point
to the fact that by unioniZing they
might acquire a voice in planning the
school curriculum. with which there
is no small amount of dissatisfaction.
1t is claimed that too much emphasis
is being placed upon subjects which
are not fundamental. such as drawing
and nature study. at the expense of the
three RS. While the teachers enjoy
the privilege of discussing the curricu-
lum at the meetings of the associa-
ton. they have no voice in making al
terationS
Some of those behind the movement
to unionize are in favor of taking
radical action next month. The cooler
heads are advising delay in the matter
They feel that should the school board
adopt a hostile attitude toward the
union plan, the summer recess would
give them ample opportunity to re
place union teachers with non union
teachers. and that the causes for which
the teachers association is fighting
would be no nearer won than before.
