BOARD To OPPOSE
INCREASE IN WAGE
Officials Assert Demands OF
Teachers Have Become
Unreasonable.

The wage increase demanded by the
Memphis Teachers association, as well
as the demand for collective bargain
Ing contained in the new contract pre-
scented blythe teachers, will be resisted
by the city board Of education.
The teachers. following this decision
by the board in executive session
Thursday afternoon, had made no move
Friday or given expression as to what
methods they would now pursue. Their
attorney, II. Grafton Brown. said a
meeting late in the day probably would
be called.
Letters with the contracts for the
coming year have peen mailed to all
the teachers. They are given until
July / 5to acknowledge receipt and to
accept the positions to which they were
elected for the coming year. Whether
the contracts viii be refused and a
strike started or whether efforts VIII
he made for a compromise remains for
the future, Those not answering let
tors by July ID may be dropped from
the force.
The board OF education maintains
that II ls impossible to recognize the
unions demand for two reasons:
First, that the increase of an aver
age around $50 a month In the salaries
OF 900 white teachers would involve an
outlay Of about Si75, 900 during the year
1920. an amount which the board can
not possibly meet.
Second, that the union does not make
for competence In the teaching force.
1t Is pointed out by Hardwig Peres,
president of the board. that II the

ard Of efficiency, for example, a certifi-
cate from an accredited normal school
and In u body should tender q demand,
having a certificate In a fashion like
a union card, her they could be dealt
with collectively.
Under the present conditions II the
union were allowed to dictate to the
board as to the personnel and compen
sation Of the teachers, an incompetent
Instructor, Mr.. Peres maintained, would
have to be retained by the board II
the union demanded It or else a strike
OF the whole force would be faced,
The automatic increase OF $40 a
month granted by the board, following
the strike Of last year, Is guaranteed
TO the teachers for 1890, and any adj
ditional amount left In the treasury
after necessary expenses are paid IN
addition, Somer aise IN addition to the
$40 is probable, according to a state
ment recently made by Anthony Walsh
chairman OF the finance committee, but
this can not be determined until after
It Is known what the expense viii be
for 1920, which will be considerably
later than Jan. 1.
1t Is certain that It will not approx .
mate the teachers demand for an in
crease, making the minimum wage OF
grammar school teachers ST. 200 and
high school teachers 1880 per annum.
