on a given wage. Where is the COM
munlty that has adopted any such rad
Ically socialstic theory as that of
grading salaries in accordance with
the number of dependents to be sup
ported? And is a woman with four
or five helpless dependents less worthy
of living wage than her brother with
a like number?
ut is almost ten years since Gov
ernor Hughes, speaking of teachers
salaries, si~d that gross INEQUALITIES
exist: Yet during the interim nothing
has been done to alleviate the con-
dltlon. On the contrary, numerous
amendments increasing the inequalities
OF the original law have been passed.
until now there is a discrepancy of $50
month between the salaries of men
and women in the elementary schools.
"lhc wages of almost all classes OF
employees have been increased because
OF the abnormally high cost of living.
Director McAdoo, in increasing salaries
Tor railroad employees, placed men and
women, blacks and whites. on the sam 2
basis.
while the teachers of this city are
second to none in patriotism, loyalty
and service, more and more are leav-
ing the educational field to enter other
and more lucrative lines of work. This
does away with the old supply and
demand argument of opponents of
equal pay, for never was the supply
so low and the demand so great as at
the present.
Continued injustice and it's at
tendant unrest and dissatisfaction must
lower the morale of the teachers"

Jr, were most conspicuous, call for a

This conference, Attorney Genera
Lewis has told his friends, took place i,
the Executive Chamber. AS the Levi
people tell it, the Governor asked t.,
Attorney General for his legal advic,
on what course he could take on IN,
proposed bone dry amendment to thu
Federal Constitution, which Congress
had just then passed. The Governo
explained, the story goes, that he wa
desirous of knowing if he could will
propriety send message to the Legis
lature when it met in January askin,
it to ratify the proposed amendment
The Attorney General, his friends say
answered that it was purely a legisla
tive function, in which the Chief Ex
ecutive could not interfere. and that i
did not come within the province of th,
Governor in any way, shape or form
To all this, the Attorney General tolt
his friends, the Governor agreed, say
ing that he would not take any part il
the controversy.

Of $4,000 Teachers
Focused on Salary Farley To-day
Representatives of Education and Estimate Board to Discuss
Methods of Providing Funds for Revision
Upward of Pay Schedules

The attention of the $4,000 teachers
of the city is focused on the meeting
tomorrow of representatives of the
Board of Education and the Board of
estimate and Apportionment, which has
been called for discussion as to pro-
Vlding funds for the revision upward
OF salary schedules for teachers.
Of about fifty teachers associations
IN the city, most of them, even those
existing for many years as purely
professional organizations, are now
actively at work for increased pay.
Since almost all the men in the
educational system have been provide d
for by the five amendments to the So
called equal pay law" it is the wom-
en- who have felt most kcenly the eff
feet of increased living costs on
salaries which advance only slightly
every few years.
They have centred their increased pay
endeavors on a campaign for real equal
pay. The Teachers Welfare League
of Brooklyn has been making an ac-
tive campaign for salaries that shall
be based, so it says, on merit and
justice rather than on sex.
Every one is willing to admit that
while some men are better teachers
than some women, the reverse is Just
as often the case," said woman yes
terday who teaches in Brooklyn
school. Hence the utter futility of
basing salary for position on the
sex of the incumbent.

good in considering the question of the
number of dependents to be supported

Would Advertise the
Shortage of Teachers
w. II. Allen Says That Is the
Way. to Fill the
Ranks

While admitting the Importance Of
increasing salaries for teachers, n
question which is to be considered at
3 o'clock this afternoon by rep
rcsentatives of the Board of Education
and the Board of Estimate and APP
portionmcnt, William II. Allen. director
of the Institute for Public Service, be-
lieves other methods Of meeting a
Threatened shortage Of teachers should
not be overlooked.
"Tc!l the truth about the shortage"
he advises. land tell high school boys
and girls the truth about teaching as
a profession and as Il stepping stone.
Telling the truth about the shortage
is new. Our country's military unpre-
paredness when we went to war does
not compare with our present unpre-
paredness for maintaining Our schools.
In the South al-ne there is to-day a
shortage of 1900 teachers, according
to President Bruce r. Payne of Pea
body College for Teachers, Nashville,
Tenn. Yet few Of our leading educators
even hnted at such shortage before
it was too late to forestall it. In our
own state, whore normal registration
has fallen off in its many schools from
thirteen to thirty-seven per cent, the
shortage is not mentioned in the re-
port just out for 1917, but the low
salaries are"
The best plan for "selling and ad-
vertisng" teaching as profession, he
said, is in use at the Illinois Normal
School. Likely high school graduates
in nearby schools are urged to con-
slider teaching as a life work, and a
large number actually enroll each year
for training in teaching.
"'To increase salaries $50 year wben
their purchasing power has shrunk fifty
per cent is not only insult, but fails
in holding teachers.' he added.

City Faces Strike
To-day of 5000
Subway Builders
Mayors Refusal to See
Leaders May Bring
About Action >.

If subway laborers and mechanics
strike to-day, as some of them threaten
to do, the trouble, involving five thou
sand workmen on the unfinished work
of the dual subway system, will be- laid
at the door of Mayor Hylan.
The subway diggers demand an ad
vance in wages. The contractors are
willing to grant their demands, but
want the Board of Estimate to treat
with them as provided under the Lock-
wood law, passed at the last session of
the Legislature, to prevent just the
sort of thing which is now confronting
the city. In their efforts to comply
with the workmen's demands fifteen of
the contractors, accompanied by their
counsel, called on Mayor Hylan, but
the Mayor refused to see them.
Other members of the Board of Est-
mate, who do not agree with Mayor
Hylan's attitude, are hoping to arrange
q conference at which an agreement
can be reached SO as to avoid a strike
While the contractors and some
members of the Board of Estimate, to-
gether with members of the Public
Service Comission, are trying to avoid
a strike, the leaders of the men say
that they are ready to quit at a mo-
ment's notice and that that moment
may arrive to-day.
= Michael Carraher, secretary of the
International Tunnel and Subway
Workers Union, declared that if tae
advance agreed to by the contractors
IS not Forthcoming Immediately, a
strike will be ordered.
"The men are united" said Carraher
"The union is in position to enforce
demands for fair wage conditions be-
cause all employees on the subway work
are members Of unions, and general
strike can be called which would in
stantly put a stop to all work"
The Lockwood law provides that all
contractors on municipal work made
prior to the entrance of the United
States into the war may be amended
or cancelled by the city authorities if,
in their judgment, the price Of labor
and material has so increased since the
contract was made that bankruptcy
would result in the contractors at
tempting to carrying on the work under
the terms Of the contract.
The Public Service Commission is
going ahead with the work Of prepar-
ing data as provided for under the
terms Of the Lockwood law, despite
the Mayors refusal to act under it OF
discuss the situation with the con-
tractors.
Frederick l.. Crawford, president Of
the Contractors Association, said:
"The Board of Estimate has repudiated
its promise. We feel that we are
within our rights in demanding i'm
mediate action by the proper author
lties. The situation is one that must
De settled In hours, not months"

Government Expects Sensa-

Irish Plot

The arch plottcr in the gigantic Hun
Sinn-Fein conspiracy to start anoth r
revolt in Ireland and cause the de-
struction of transports and munitie n
ships leaving the United States will in
all probability be taken into custody
early this week.
1t has been known since the indict-
FIVE Sim Fein associates on Friday in
the Federal District Court that the real
directing head of the Prussian espion-
age ring had not as yet been taken
in custody. This master mind has an
international reputation as spy. Prior
to the declaration of war against Ger
many he directed system of intrigue
in Central Europe for Wilhelmstresse
that was fatal to the Balkan Allies.
New Revelations Expected
When he is arrested startling reve-
lations are looked for by persons famil-
lar with the evidence gathered by the
Department of Justice. Chief Charles
De Woody would say nothing regarding
any of the persons sought by the gov
ernment except OLeary and Ryan, the
fugitive Sim Fein leaders. - He said
that every investigating agency of the
government was working on the case
and the borders were watched. No
definite information as to the where
abouts Of these persons has reached
him.
The hunt made by the State Con-
stabulary of the rural sections in the
vicinity of the Adirondacks and Cat
skills has failed to reveal trace of
the fugitives. Federal officials are of
IL ha fhoy
and are being sheltered by persons
not far from New York. If such is
the case, when they are apprehended
the people who sheltered them will
face trial in the Federal District Court
and, if convicted, will be sentenced to
serve seven years in the Atlanta Peni-
tentiary.
Prisoners Carefully Guarded

Rodiger, of the German navy, who are

III the indictments handed up to Judge
Hand on Friday, are being kept at a
government port under close military
guard. Albert Fricke and William
Robinson, the mysterious man in the
case. are in the Tombs.
Nothing additional concerning the
part played by Robinson could be ascer-
tanned yesterday He is thought to be
the man who was commissioned to Sc
cure lrishmen to enlist in the British
1iavy for the purpose of placing bombs
aboard battleships. 1t is understood
that Scotland Yard will be able to
furnish enlightenins information con-
corning his connection with the Sim
Fein before he goes to trial
The government may send special
prosecutors to handle the case when it
is called in the Federal District Court.
If so, men of the highest legal stand
ing will be retained land the posi-
bility of the spies and traitors escap-

In Paris. Flowers must be deposited
before the statue Of Washington and
the American flag must be raised at
