Williamson Pleads Moderation

Mr.. Williamson was the next speaker.
He read extracts from the survey made
last summer by the federal govern
ment in which the statement Is made
that Memphis compares favorahly with
other cities of the South in the matter
Of salaries Of school teachers, but does
not compare favorably with cities of
similar size In other sections of the
country. He also read to them the
resolution adopted at the meeting at
the Chamber of Commerce Tuesday aft
ernoon when the city's principal civic
organization recognized the justice of
additional pay for the teachers and viz
| tually pledged its reputation and credit
toward securing the necessary fund.
Mr.. Williamson was asked when the
additional money would be forthcoming
He answered that he could not say
definitely as no plan had been worked
out as yet and could not be until Ger
tain legal points had been decided. He
was also asked to name the members
of his committee. He replied that he
had not selected them as yet, but would
do so as soon as possible.
r. w. Bailey, chairman of the edu-
cation committee of the Chamber Of
Commerce, followed Mr.. Williamson
along similar lines and he informed the
teachers that Mr.. Williamson was an
accredited representative of the Cham
her of Commerce and that his commit
tee had been clothed with rather broad
authority in the matter of devising a
plan for raising the money.
