TEACHERS SPLIT
ON QUESTION OF
AN ORGANIZATION
DIVISION OF SENTIMENT ON
ADOPTING PLAN OF STATE
BOARD OF EDUCATION.
DON'T WANT TO DRAW TEETH
Anti.Strike Provision Of Plan Not
Pleasing to All Members With the
Result That No Action Here Is
Taken.

Teachers Of Maury county at their
meeting Saturday split on the rock or
atfirmatively declaring against affilia-
ton with the American Federation OF
labor in the proposed teachers organ
i2ation of the state, with the result
that no action whatever was taken.
Every motion providing for affilia-
tion with the state organization as
outlined under the resolution OF the
state board of education was voted
down, with the result that the Maury
county teachers have not yet decided
whether or not they will have an or
ganization and If so whether it will be
within or without that of the state
board
1t was proposed that the teachers
here form an association that would
be part of the state association to
be organized under the resolution of
the state board, which distinctly pledg-
es the membership against utilization
that would ever mean a resort to the
strike A motion to this effect was op-
posed by some of the members on the
ground that it would be joining an or
ganizaton with the teeth drawn out"
BY these statements, although they
did not say so, the inference was
that they might want to use the strike,
a position that naturally did not meet
the approval of other teachers, who
do not believe that teachers ever have
the moral right to strike.
Others were opposed to any action
at this time for the reason that they
said they lacked sufficient informa-
ton as to the purpose and scope of
the organization originally outlined
at the Knoxville meeting for the East
Tennessee teachers. They said they
would rather wait for further light on
the subject. There was a good deal
of discussion pro and con and several
motions made, but they were all voted
down. If Maury county is represent
ed officially at the state teachers meet
ing January IA, some action must be
taken between now and that date. q.

What Tanlac Has Done

dollars and tried all kinds Of medicines
and treatments, but Tanlac has
brought me more relief than every
thing else I've tried in the past thirty
years all put together" declared Thorn

II guess I've had my share of suf-

l have hardly been free from dull

that when j would bend over could
MT straighten up again without al
