Three Women Questioned
by Deputy Attorney
q e ra /; Admitted
Their Beliefs, He Says
Will Be Removed.

Won't Stand for Them,
superintendent Insists;
No Open Preaching

Communist propaganda has made at
least SIN women converts among the
school teachers of New York City
Deputy Attorney General Samuel A.
Berger announced yesterday. All of
these, he said, have signed the Com
munist manifesto, an act which Chief
Magistrate McAdoo has declared con-
stitutes criminal anarchy. There are
several other teachers under suspicion
Three Of the women whose stand is
definitely known have been questioned
by the Deputy Attorney General. They
admitted they were Communists and
said they were proud Of it, but denied
they were spreading propaganda of the
party among their pupils. All Of them
teach in the city's elementary schoo.s.
only three o. the teachers so lar
have been questioned" said Mr.. Berger
yesterday. "They admitted having
signed the Communist manifesto. When
| wrote to DR.. Ettinger, Superintendent
of Schools, that one woman teacher had
frankly told me of her sympathy with
The Bolshcviki, he asked me whether I
thought her fit person to teach chill
uTeH. l TeplleQ QlQ not Jnlnk nCr Ut.
Further inquiry is to be made, then the
names of the teachers will be made
public
"We do not believe the teachers have
been preaching Communist doctrines to
their pupils openly, but it is reasonable
to suppose that if pupil asked them
what Il Bolshevist was the teacher
would not picture the Bolshevihi as
other than ideal. The instances of the
teachers show how far Bolshevik
has sceped into our insti-
tutions. The remedy is probably more
pay for the teachers. If teacher is
not sufficiently paid it is natural that
he or she will be discontented. and dis
content may take the wrong direction
The same thing has been said of our
underpaid college professors"
DR.. Ettinger said last night that
and drastic action would be
taken against all teachers who are
charged with upholding the ideals of
the Communist party.
81 am glad to say" he said, chat
of the $4,000 teachers in our schools
there are only comparatively few
extremists. Immediate action Will be
taken III the case of every Communist
and other members of organizations of
extremists found among the teaching
body. We cannot have them in the
schools; we positively will not stand
for then."

VEGETABLE SHIPMENTS

CRYSTAL SPRINGS, Mss, June 10.
tSpl.)-A. Lotteries, the Nestor Of the
shipping business here and the one
man who has done more to develop the
business as well as this section OF the
state, Is or the opinion that the peak
OF the shipping for this season was
reached Tuesday afternoon. There have
been heavy shipments for the past sew
eral days, but 80 solid CARROTS went out
Of here Tuesday night, aRgregating a
shipment Of 50, 200 packages. All day
long vehicles Of all kinds were coming
into town and until way In the night
the leaders were busily engaged In
bracing the ca&s for the DAYS work.
Enough cars had been arranged, T.
Y. Campbell. traffic manager OF the
Illinois Central Railroad company, be-
Ing here In person to see that all Of the
height was received by the company
n taken care Of. II is thought the
season Will last two weeks longer.
All IN all, the season has been an un-
usual n in a great many respects,
While there has been n falling off in
the volume of stuff shipped, there has
been much more shipped IA than the
first estimates fixed and the crop from
q money value standpoint has been in
excess OF what was expected. Not a
farmer has lost this year but on the
contrary everyone will pay out and a
great many will find themselves at the
close OF the season in possession OF
comfortable bank accounts, while some
or the larger shippers have actually
grown rich at the game.
