Demand Made Upon School Board
for Ten Dollar Increase
Ask That Answer Be Given by November
18th. Say They Will Quit Unless
Request is Granted.

The strike fever" which has
become so common throughout
different parts of the United
States during the past few
months has at last reached the
Washburn Public schools and the
School Board of the City Of
Washburn is threatened with a
"walk-out" unless the pay Of
the teachers is raised materially.
The demand Of the teachers
was made upon the school board
at their last meeting by a COM
mittee Of the teachers consist
ing of Miss Fay, Mr.. Madden.
Miss Prothero. Miss Smith and
Mrs. Ballard, when a petition
was formally presented in which
the demands of the teachers
were set forth, asking for an in
crease of ten dollars per month
and asking that an answer be
returned by November 18th.
The petition was signed by
every teacher in the public
schools, with the exception Of
the Manual Training Teacher
Elmer Albrechtson, who was
hired by the school board after
school opened, to fill a vacancy
which existed.
The teachers informed the
Board that they were well or
ganized and expected tosstand
pat" in their demands, and the
inference was made that unless
the request was granted that
there would be general walk
out.
The committee was informed
by the Board that the budget
for the school year had already
been made up and passed upon
by the Council and that without
additional funds being allowed
to the school board by the coun-
ell it would be impossible to
grant the increase because OF
the lack of funds, and the CON-
mittee was referred to the City
Council.
The delegation of teachers,
headed by Miss Fay, then waited
upon Mayor G. F. Morgan and sci
forth their demands and were
told by the Mayor that this was
not a matter that concerned the
Council as the School Board was
appointed for the purpose OF
running the schools, but that
any recommendation made by
the school board to the council
would receive attention by the
Council, and this is where the
matter now stands.
The Times has lear ned thai
the wages as paid to the teach
ers in Washburn range from
$1,000 per month for grade
teachers in their first year ant
up, with the highest paid salar,

Observance Of End Of World War
Celebrated in Fitting Style
Fine Program Held at the YIN. C. A.
Building Tuesday Evening.
Fine Building.

The Armistice Day celebra-
tion as carried out in Washburn
proved to be a little dandy and
was a fitting observance of the
first Anniversary of the day
when Germany declared to the
World that she was a beaten
nation ready to take what terms
the Allies were willing to give.
America played a leading role
in the defeat of the German
Empire by furnishing money,
arms and men in large amounts
and numbers and carrying on a
warfare that Germany knew
would win. On the llth day of
November, 1918. the end of hos
tilities came when Germany
signed the Armistice terms and
admitted defeat. 1t was in
honor of this event that the cele-
bration was held. !:
Mayor George F. Morgan had
proclaimed a half holiday in
honor of the day and this was
observed by every business
house in the city. The program
of the day began at o'clock
with a parade by the City Band
and this was followed by an
exhibition by the Boy Scout
organization which was fine
one.
At 2:30 p. m. at the 7. M. c.
A. and Temple Theatre pro-
grams were given, especially for
the children, at which there
were movies, four minute takers
Junior High school chorus and
Brass quartette.
At four o'clock auto races
were held on lower Bayfield,
street, between Washington and
9th avenues. There were three
entries, the speed averaging
more than so miles, the race be-
ing won by Nickols with Robin
SON second and Estabrook third.
The evening program at the
Y. M. G.. A. for adults consisted {
/ of community singing led by w.
Gum Smith and chorus and
specials by Ed. Fortier with an
address by Mr.. M. E. Dillon of
Ashland. Ed. Fortier made q
hit with a song composed by
himself, and which was a little
hummer. He was enchored
time and again.
In his address Mr.. Dillon
scored the German nation and
her allies for the way they con-
Quoted the war and he said he
hoped the time would never
come when the people of this
country would cease to teach
their children and their child
ren's children to remember the
deeds of this outlaw nation.
The /. w. VS. AMI Anarchists
as well as the antis of every sort
were given a rough mauling at
the hands of the speaker who
does not mince words when ne
has anything to say. but whose
remarks come straight from the
shoulder.
Mr.. Dillon said the time had
come when we should do away
with foreign languages and the
publication of papers and mag
azines in the foreign language
| in this country, and should sur
plant them with societies that
would endeavor to make the
foreigners, coming to our land.
better Americans, instead OF
teaching them to maintain their
mother country tongue and Gus
toms.
During the address the speak
er was generously applauded
which indicated that the audi
ence was we'll pleased with his
lstyle of address.

WASHBuRk TEACHERS WANT MORE
PAY OR THREATEN To STRIKE

the contract.
A number of other cities in
the state and elsewhere through
out the country are experiencing
a like situation and different
views have been taken. In som
places the demand mas been
granted while in many cities a
compromise has been effected
and in one city in this state the
teachers were fired" and the
schools closed until new teachers
could be hired.
Those who keep tab on school
affairs here and elsewhere be-
lieve that the teachers in Wash
burn have some reason for COM
plant and that a compromise of
some kind should be effected.
Increased living conditions and
the shrunken value of the pur
, chasing power Of the dollar seem
to be the chief cause for COM
plant. The Times believes that
some increases should be made,
especially in the cases of the un-
derpaid teachers. but that the
teachers should also take into
consideration the position Of the
city and the public in the matter
and effect a compromise
The city's side of the case is
this:
Willing as they might be to
give an increase the demand of
the teachers comes at a very in
opportune time inasmuch as the
assessment has already been
made and the city is powerless
to go above the 81 per cent rate.
The budget of the school board
for the school year 1919-1920
has already been made and
passed upon by the council.
At the highest tax rate the
amount of money which the city
can raise this year by taxation
amounts to little more than $87,
100000. Of this amount $36. 500
has already been set aside for
schools, then there is the state
and county tax to come out of
this, which this year is ex-
ceptionally heavy, leaving a very
narrow margin with which to
run the city. The demand Of
the teachers, if granted would
amount to $2450. 90, leaving the
amount for general city ex-
Ienditures so small that public
improvements Of all kinds would
have to go by the boards.
| There is some talk of a joint
meetingbeing held between the
Council and the School Board
land the teachers to discuss the
|question further.
PETITION
! Owing to the increase of liv-
ling expenses and the impossi-
bility Of adequately meeting
this increase with our present
|salaries, we, the teachers OF
IWashburn, ask that an addition
|al sum of Ten Dollars $4,000
be added each month to our sal
|aries, beginning Sept. 1919.
| We submit an average expense
account for your fair consider
ation which we hope will SUBJ
lstantiate the above statement.
| We respectfully request an
answer by November 13.

The avenue was gaily decked out
for the occasion. Every little tree
with It's sign in memory of soldier
who fell in action, had its garland

veterans OF the Spanish War in full
regalia marched. The men carried nc
war trophies; that duty was RELOCATED

WHERE THE XMAS SEAL MONEY
GOES,

Austin, Texas, Nov. 27.-The Texas
Public Health Association has an
nounced the different purposes for
which. the 100000 to be raised in
Texas during the Red Cross Christ
mas Seal Sale In December will be
used.
Ninety per cent of the money rails
ed from the sale of the little seals
of good health will remain in Texas,
said d. E. Breed, Executive Secretary
of the Association, land the remain
ed will go to the American Red Cross
and the National tuberculosis AS
sociation.
1.-The $4,000 remaining for health
work In Texas, will be used by the
Texas Public Health Association and
its auxiliaries to provide nursing pro-
vision in counties, cities, and schools
through public health nurses; to help
secure more dispensary and clinic
care, so that those who have tuber-
culosis or think they have it, may
be examined and treated; to aid in
securing more open air schools and
preventotria for children-where ba-
bies and children up to IL years OF
age may be given special treatment
and kept from contagious disease;
to bring health education to the peo-
pie of the state, so that they may
know how to prevent and cure dis
ease"
The Association will also send out
field workers to carry on surveys
and research work on health con-
ditions, and with the assistance of
Mexican and Negro workers, reach
all races and classes of people in the
state. 1t also will try to interest
employers and employees in medical
examinations of workers in industri-
al trades.
The Modern Health Crusade is be-
ing directed by the Association, which
Is, in this way, leading the children
of the state to form health habits
which will remain with them per-
T1anently.
These are some Of the important
things which the Association will
do in 1920" said Mr.. Breed. "They
are necessary If we are to crush the
white plague which claimed a toll
of 4,651 lives in Texas. last year.
The Texas Public Health Association
is at the service of the people of the
Lone Star State and is fighting for
better health for their entire state.
Figures based upon the Framing
ham, Mass, survey show that there
are nine open cases of tuberculosis
in Texas, and almost 20 cases of all
kinds from the disease. for every
death from the white plague This
would tend to show, since there were
1851 reported deaths from this dis
ease last year in Texas. that there
are now 37,208 open cases, and APP
proximately $4,000 cases of an kinds
open, arrested or closed"

Jury at the opening of Bibb superior
court today, instructed that, 8
thorough investigation be made o.
the lynching of Paul Booker, neal
Crumps Park.
Paul Jones, a Negro, accused of at
lacking a white woman near the
site of Camp Harris, was lynched
by a mob at the scene of the crime
shortly after midnight.
The Negro was arrested by two
deputy sheriffs, but the mob quickly
formed, compelling the officers to
take refuge in box car. Sheriff
Hicks, learning Of the plight of his
deputies, went to the scene, and was
permitted by the mob, which num-
bered thousand persons or more
to take the Negro to the home of the
woman for Identification. She iden-
titled him. it is said, from a blood
mark she had purposedly placed upon
his clothing. The crowd refusing to
be calm, by the please of the sheriff,
then seized the Negro and put him
to death.
