MESA SCHOOL TEACHERS
 DISPLEASED WITH RAISE

MESA, Oct. 22. Teachers of the Mesa schools who were granted a raise of five per cent aL the recent meeting of the school board, and in- cluding all instructors woh in the past had received less than S116 per month, held meeting yesterday aft ernoon in Guild hall for the purpose of protesting the raise. 4 large number of teachers attended the meeting.
 Sentiment expressed at the meet ing by most of the instructors wal that the raise granted is not in pro- portion to the salaries of teachers in ether parts of the state, pr in pro portion. either, to the demands Of the high cost of living. Even with this increase, they stated, their sal aries are hardly in keeping with scales paid elsewhere, and they can- not see that they have received ade- quate compensation.
 While no direct action was taken by the teachers attending the meet ing, several plans are said to have been discussed and it is possible that as a result they will present further demands on the school authorities. It is also stated that teachers not in- cluded in the numbers granted the most recent raise are dissatisfied, and that they are preparing 70 draft demands for more money.

FARM TRACTOR COMPETITION

FLAGSTAFF, Oct. 22.- An event tath will be of exceeding interest and importance to every farmer in the county is the competitive farm trac- tor blowing demonstration which IS being arranged for Saturday, October 25th.
 The idea was suggested by /. q. Rissonnette, of the Reliable Auto Spring & Supply Co.,, agent for the Hart-Parr tractor, who also issued a challenge to the other tractor agents here t0 put their machines at work side by side with his to demonstrate which of the various makes repre- sented possesses the best combina- ton of speed. and ease. and economy of operation. The idea was immed- iate,y seized upon by all but one of the competing agents, the date fixed, and the scene of the gas-scrap will soon be decided upon.
 This event is time-saver. It saves both the time of the prospec- tive buyer in listening to and inVesti- gating the claims made by the var ious agents, and it saves the time of the agents themselves, inasmuch as they will be able to demonstrate to crowd in the same time it ordinar- fly takes to prove out tractor 10 Q single prospective buyer

MAY TRY TO FORCE
KNOX PLAN THROUGH

Washington. Dec. 1S.--(By A. P.)
Possibility that the Senate peace
treaty fight might be resumed actively
before the holiday recess developed to-
day, when the foreign relations com
mittce was called to meet Saturday
morning. The purpose of the meeting
was not announced, but leaders indi-
Gated that an effort probably would be
made to get committee action on the
resolution of Senator Knox to declare
state of peace.
Senate managers hoped to adjourn
for the holidays Saturday night, by
which time, it was generally conceded,
there would be little possibility of
bringing the Knox measure to a vote.
Some members of the committee expect
Democratic opposition to be so stub
born that even committee action will be
impossible at Saturdays meeting.
Some Of Senator Underwood's friends
were outspoken in criticizing Senator
lIitchcock's s call for a caucus Satur-
day to select Democratic leader in the
Senate, and intimated they might en-
deavor to postpone vote until after
the holidays.
"It's an outrage" said Senator Har-
rison. of Mississippi. "Up to now

the conference be postponed until after
the treaty is settled and also until more
Democratic senator's are in town. There
are half dozen of Mr.. Underwood $
friends absent now who cannot get back
in time
A compromise was suggested in some
quarters today. proposing that Senator
Hitchcock be made leader and Mr..
Underwood vice chairman or assistant
leader of the Democratic conference, u
position which would give Mr.. Under
wood management of many important
| measures. 49,.
The Alabama senator's supporters
were said to desire disposition of the
treaty before the leadership election sc
that the question of indorsing Senator
Hitchcock's management of the treaty
might not be an issue.
Some senator's said the Democratic
leadership contest might have consld-
erable bearing on the immediate out
come of the treaty controversy. Sena
tors Hitchcock and Underwood have
differed regarding future procedure, the
former opposing and the latter agree
ing to accept as last alternative th'
rian of Senator Knox.
1t has been said at the White House
| that, irrespective of the outcome OF the
leadership contest. Senator HitchcocF
will continue as the administrator
