John Van Schaick, jr., member OF the
board, who has just returned from
Europe, at a mass meeting in the Dis
trict Building last night The meet
ing was called to discuss the contro-
versy and the salary question.

the board for their respective stands
but advised the teachers as follows:
Fight It out If you can't reach an
agreement. The truth should be
brought out.
"One OF the first reports heard
upon arriving in Washington" said
DR.. Van Schaick," was that the Board
of Education is about to be abolished.
Other reports OF disharmony between
the teachers and the board greeted
me-"
DR.. Van SchaIck's views Of the
board teachers fight were awaited
with considerable interest, because
he is one Of the members OF the board
whose term expires June so.
Mrs. Margarita s. Gerry and DR.. J..
H. Johnson. the other two members
Of the board whose terms expire at
that time, are being opposed for re-
appointment by the union interests or
Washington, because Of their attitude
In the Wood case.
DR.. Van Schaick devoted the greater
part of his address to telling how ne
met and talked with District school
bows in France and Belgium.
Among the Washington men whom
DR.. Van Schaick met overseas were
Capt. Jean Collier, a former Eastern
High School student; Lieutenant
Wiley, whose mother is Mrs. Horace
Wiley, and Captain Townsend.
The appointment OF school prin-
cipaIs on a subcommittee of the Con-
EressionaI commission on the reclas-
sifcation of salaries was advocated by

Former Congressman c. W. Hamlin,
chairman of the Congressional COM
mission on the reelassif1cation OF
salaries, told the teachers how they
could cooperate with the commits
sion in collecting necessary data for
the reclassification work.

WAR VETERANSM MAY
MAKE HOME HERE

ST. LOUIS, No, Nay 1o.-The new
American legion. the name unani-
mously adopted by the veterans of
the world war yesterday afternoon at
the caucus. will decide at the final
session today on its headquarters
city. Ever since the delegates repre-
senting General Pershing Post, No. 1,
OF the District Of Columbia, arrived,
they have been busiIy engaged in
this connection with a view to having
headquarters located IN the National
Capital.
The executive committee of the
American Legion was IN session un-
til long after midnight, discussing
the proposition on this important
committee. Col. E. Lester Jones and
Sergt. Maj. Needham c. Turnage are
the District representatives.
The matter OF where the official or
gan Of the Legion shall be printed is
also receiving serious consideration.
At the session yesterday, after sew
eral roll calls Private P. c. CAL
houn, of Connecticut, was chosen to
represent the United States marine
corps in the official roster Of the
legion.
Reduce Voting Power.
The committee on credentials re-
duced the number OF rates of all
organizations to one vote and exclud-
ed the soldiers and sailors council.
When the report was made it was
charged that the organization was
composed OF I. w. WIS and Bolshe-
vfks. This threw members Of the
caucus into a rage and the delegate
who spoke on behalf Of that organi-
zation had a disagreeable reception.
The action Of the committee was in
dorsed as opposing !. W. WIS or Boil
sheviks joining the American Legion.
Later on, during the caucus, another
bomb she'll was thrown into the
gathering when the report of the COM
mittee on time and place for the next
convention was read. The committee
had selected Chicago, but after q Bit
ter fight lasting over an hour the
city was finally abandoned.
Col. J. c. Herbert, of Massachusetts,
attacked the mayor Of Chicago, de-
per cent American.
Banners Torn Up.
No political convention ever had
anything on yesterdays proceedings
or presented such a scene as was en-
acted here. Two large banners bear
ing the words Chicago Wants You"
were torn to pieces by infuriated dele
gates, following the speakers re-
marks. This threw the caucus into
an uproar that lasted several minutes.
After a spirited contest Minneapolis
was selected for November 10, II. and
IL.
On motion OF Colonel Jones, of
Pershing post, Chaplain H. T. Wields,
Of Colorado, was unanimously elected
on, first ballot as temporary chaplain
Of the caucus.
! Last night the delegates were en-
| tertained by the ladies of st. Louis at
a supper and dance at the Sunset Inn
! Country Club.
Final reports are scheduled for
action at today's. session.
Resolutions to be considered today
include a demand that Ireland shall
have self-determination. Another
calls for rigid supervision Of history
tests in American schools. Prohibi-
tion Of light wines and beers was pro-
tested in others, and demands are
made that Bolshevistic and L W. w.
journals be suppressed.
