Teachers union, but see a better liv-
ing running the cars in the Capitol
building than teaching the children of
the nations lawmakers.
The government will pay them

will only pay them $3.50 to teach the
children of these same legislators"
says Mrs. Mary Observation-Disclosures, OF
the union. They can't live on the
$3.50 and are now having to do outside
work as clerks and stenographers to
meet their living expenses. If an ele-

country than school teacher they will
take the elevator jobs. They can't
