Discuss Teachers' Pay.

Louis Giclas doubted the advisabilfty
OF going on record in behalf of the
teachers. He voiced the doctrine that
the usefulness of teachers at this time
was not to be compared with that of
war workers in shops.
W. ]. Thorn expressed astonishment
that such sentiments should be ex-
pressed. He asserted that teachers
pay from IS to 100 per cent more for
their clothes and what they eat. and
he regarded them as the poorest paid
of all public servants. He also con-
sidered 1t q serious mistake not to
1ndorse their appeal and use all power
to advance tho proposition.
IN commenting on the recent loss of
life Of police killed by the negro,
Copeland, Mr.. Giclas observed that
the lack Of police and the failure of
the Home Defense League to be on
the job was responsible for such pos
sibilities. Mr. Giclas 10 . member Of
the league az are many Of the men,
bers Of the organisation.
Mr.. Thorn made q vigorous defense
Of the league.
