WASHINGTON, April 27.-A new
charter every other day under the
American Federation of Teachers is
the rate at which public school teach.
ers of the United States have been
organizing during the last month, ac-
cording to reports received at the
Washington Office of the National
Women's Trade Union League. The
American Federation of Teachers is
affiliated with the American Federation
of Labor and the National Women's
Trade Union League, and has to date
chartered total of seventy local
unions from coast TO coast. This, it is
stated, represents 100 per cent or
ganlzation in many localities.
The aims, announced the educators
OF this national trade union organiza-
ton, are democratization of the schools
and fair working conditions for teach
ers. Various school boards. they say,
have exhibited an autocratic attitude
on public questions TO the extent of
attempted suppression of free discus
sion in the schools. Accompanying
this Is the salary scale of teachers,
which for the entire United States
averages 5000 year. Thousands of
teachers are receiving only $500 and
Slo0 year, according to the league.
Aims of Federation Defined
I'VE insist" says Charles b. Still
man, of Chicago, national president of
the American Federation of Teachers,
that boards Of education have no pro
prletary right in the schools We de-
mand voice in the government of the
schools, CD through representation on
the school boards. t2) through teach
ers' council in every school, consisting
OF chosen representatives. of the teach
ers, who shall be consulted by the an
thorities OIL all questions affecting
teachers or pupils, and (3) the election
of school boards by popular vote. And
we demand. in behalf of the children
of this land, free discussion of public
question, in the class room.
Backed as we are by ORGANIZED
labor everywhere, we purpose to fight,
in every instance, the arbitrary. au
tocratic procedure Of school boards.
illustrated in the case Of Miss Alice
Wood in Washington and of DR.. Ben
jamin Glassberg in New York.
For relief, as to the salary schedule
OF teachers, we believe organization
under the American Federation of
Labor IS the best way to work. In
New York, for example, with the as
sistance Of the New York State Fed
