Miss Jane Allen Says Stiff
Fight Will Be
Made

The campaign by women teachers Of
this city for 25 per cent Increase in
salaries gained new impetus last night
that will carry the plan into the Legis-
lature next January.
Teachers from most Of the high and
elementary schools here met in the audi
torium of the William Penn High School,
Fifteenth and Mt. Vernon streets. Miss
Jane Allen, chairman of the committee
of women teachers leading the campaign,
presided at the meeting.
The issue of the higher salary cam
paign was thus defined by Miss Allen
I'VE want n substantial increase II
salary. We are trying to be practice
and sensible. Since the only chance o.
immediate relief seems to be the secur

of Education has drafted. We NEAR

the work Is accomplished"
The present school tax in this city
is 60 cents. School authorities here
point to the impossibility of salary in
creases out of the Board Of Education's
ture would be required for a tax in
crease.
Expressions of sympathy with the
aims of the teachers were read from a
number Of men of prominence. Among
the messages was one from DR.. Joseph
