LABOR CONGRESS .
SESSION OPENED

Washington, Oct. 29:-The interna-
tional labor conference Immediately
after assembling here today invited
American representatives to take part
in its proceedings.
The conference authorized it's organ
ization committee to extend invitations
to United States employers and organ
ized labor to send one delegate each.
The United States under the rules of
the league of nations of which the con-
ference is part, is entitled to four
delegates, all to be appointed by the
government. But the conference open
ed without representation of the Uni
ted States because of the recent re-
fusal of congress to permit-the govern
ment to name representatives on any
peace treaty commission until the
treaty is ratified. Because of this re-
sponse to the invitation was doubtful.
Samuel Gompers, of the American
Federation of abor, it is believed, will
be the United States delegate, repre-
sentative of organized labor, if any
delegates are named.
Secretary Wilson said today the
chamber of commerce of the United
States would be invited to name the
employers delegate.
The resolution providing for Uni
ted States representation was intro
duced by Signor Des Planches, chief
Iof the Italian delegation.

School Officials 'Wrestle
With Problem of Retaining
Teachers In City Schools

The question of teachers for Salem
schools became an acute problem We'd
nesday that required the deliberation
all day of Superintendent of Schools
John w. Todd to avert a tieup of the
system here. With the resignation last
night at meeting of the school board
of two teachers, Mrs l. j. Winchell
and Mrs. May Tillson. the problem OF
preventing others of the city school
faculty from leaving their posts was
confronted.
Salaries Discussed.
Though, at last nights meeting Of
the board, the question of inadequate
salary for teachers was not brought
up, it is rumored that there is a gen.
eral dissatisfaction with the salaries
paid teachers, and that their organiza-
tion, with view of striking for better
conditions, is highly possibly within
the next six weeks. The resignation
last night of the two teachers is con-
Isidered by some as a forerunner of a
general move to this end.
In submitting her resignation Mrs.
Tillson said that it became necessary
for her to leave the work because of
ill health. Mrs Winchell said that she
was forced to resign because of the
Icritical condition Of her mothers
health.
Outside Work Required.
Although some of the teachers in the
county schools have received large
raises this term, the wage is still not
enough to enable them to live comfort
ably, it is said Most Of the country
teachers are forced tol accept other
work after schools hours and during
Saturday and Sunday to make enough

the situation claim. AS dignity is a
