LAWYER HAS HEART FOR THE
TEACHERS PENSION CHANGES
Alfred UTion, chief counsel for
Armour & Co., was a speaker in
Springfield yesterday before the
house municipalities committee.
UriOn asks amendment of the pen
sion laws, so that control of the pen
sion board of the Chicago public
school teachers will be in the hands
of the school board. As the state law
now provides, control is in the hands
of the 5000 school teachers Of Chi
cagO, who annually hold an election
under the Australian ballot system
and choose a majority Of the trus-
tees of the board.
UTiOn is a director of the sO-called
Chicago Public School league"
known as a submarine with a crew
picked by the Illinois Manufacturers

jective the tOTpedOing of the Chica-
go Teachers Federation.
Ida L. FUTsman and NanO T.
Hickey for the Teachers Federation
urged legislators to let the teachers
retain their present power of voting
for whoever they want to run their
pension system. Since 1895 the re-
serve fund for teachers pensions has
grown to $1,614,67O.43 CSept. 1,

very reluctant to return to Germany
but expressed a preference for asylum
in Cuba. 1t gives new explanation
to the repeated arrests on the border
of men charged by American military
authorities with being German intel

Last Of all it seems to snow con-

he might stop the supply of oil, so

another chapter to the celebrated re-

which have been coiored with passport
frauds, charges of dynamite plots and
intrigue, the full extent of which never
has been published.
1t gives new credence to persistent
