Teachers Given S85 Bonus;
Say $500 Not Too Much

Portland grade teachers have ex-
pressed themselves as being dlssatis-
I fled with the $S5 bonus granted them
1 BY the school. insisting they should
have at least 5000. not as additional
compensation. but merely TO restore
purchasing power.
Their present salaries plus 5000,
contend the teachers would give them
salary at least $500 lower in pur-
chasing power than that OF the sal
aries received in 1915. Referring TO
estimates of Bradstreets. Dunns ana
the labor bureau on the increased cost
os living. the teachers feel they might
reasonably ask for an increase of rs
per cent instead of the $500. The
teachers contend that painters, team
sters. plumbers blacksmiths, nurses.
dressmakers and others are receiving
higher wages.
AT its last meeting, the school board
voted to borrow to the limit of its
borrowing capacity amounting TO
100000. to be divided equally among
the teachers during the remainder OF
the calendar year.
