would be under government auspices.

ASK MERE JUSTICE,
NOT BOLSHEVISM
SAY The TEACHERS

Because Of the use of the word
council" commonly used by the
BolShevists, as the name of the
proposed teachers organization TO
cooperate with the Board of Edu-
cation The Times today asked sew
eral questions Of Miss Deal OF the
High School Teachers Union. con-
Cerning the attitude Of the teach
ers toward radicalism and boil
shevism. The questions and an
swers follow:
Q. Does the selection Of the
name Teachers Council" in its
similarity to the use OF the world
council by bolshevists have any
significance?
A.-No. This term is similar to
the term used in o.her cities of
the United States where teachers
councils have been organized. st.
Paul, Mimi, and Boston both have
teachers councils. Both are
recognized by the board OF edu-
cation Of the respective cities.
Q.-Why IL the term council
employed and what is its mean
ing?
A.-The term council" was
adopted by the American Fedora
tion Of LaL or for such organiza-
tions. The term is used in the
same sense as city council" Is
not in the slightest sense Boil
shevistic.
Q.-Have the teachers of the
proposed council" accepted,
adopted, or intend to accept,
adopt or put into effect, any of
the doctrines or theories OF Boil
shevism?
A-Absolutely not. We teach
ers Of Washington are not con-
cerned with BOlshevism. We are
not Bolshevists and want nothing
to do with Bolshevism
