Atlanta Teachers
To Organize Union

ATLANTA, February 13.-Atlanta
school teachers are preparing to form
a union and afiliate themselves with
the American Federation of Teachers,
which is an organization somewhat
similar in its aims and objects to the
American Federation of Labor.
The teachers here have been en-
gagged several months in fight to Sc
cure an increase in pay which they
very much need, as the average teach
er's salary is not enough to meet her
actual living expenses. Owing to the
Strengthened conditions of the city's
finances, and to other growing de-
mands from other departments. they
have not succeeded in getting their
money.

invitation sent to the banks by Joseph
Perkins, secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce.:
Gentlemen: The South is today
face to face with a crisis; cotton is
being forced down in price far below
it's legitimate and equitable level, and
it is now squarely up to\ the people of
the cotton producing sections to get
solidly behind every movement having
for it's end satisfactory solution of
the situation.
''After-war re-adjustments will
bring untold opportunities to eevry
section of the country and particularly
to the South; how can we avail our
selves of these opportunities if the
present demoralized conditions con-
tinue to obtain?
"The bankers of the South are vi
tally interested in the solution of the
problems at issue. and they can WELD
most powerful influence in working
them out successfully. But it is es-
sential that concerted action be taken
and organized effort directed along

LOAN CERTIFICATES
TO BE ISSUED BY.
SECRETARY GLASS
Will Be of Five Months Ma
turity and Will Bear Interest
of AZ Per Cent.

Washington, July H.-Loan certi-
ficates of five months maturity, bear.
ing interest at ~ per cent will be
issued by the treasury semi-annu-
ally on the first and fifteenth, be-
ginning August |, for the remain
der of the calendar year for the
purpose of financing the govern
ment's requirements.
In making this announcement in
a letter to the banking institutions
of the country, Secretary Glass
said the minimum amount of each
issue in August and September
would not exceed $50O,000,000, while
subsequent issues probably would
be about half that amount, with the
total estimated at $3,500,000,00O. The
same period will see the redemp-
ton of $2,997, ,540,500 in loan and
tax certificates. leaving a net in
crease of $502,4s9,5 500 to be funded
by the issue of short term notes
when market conditions are favor
able and the terms advantageous
to the government.
All national and state banks and
trust companies will be expected to
take not less than l.6 per cent of
their gross resources in each semi
monthly issue of loan certificates
during August and September, with
the percentage falling to 08 toward
the end of the calendar year.
Secretary Glass hopes to make the
distribution of the new certificates
as widespread as possible.
Reviewing the financial condition
of the country, Secretary Glass esti-
mated income for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1920, at $6,535,000,
made up of internal revenue. Sd, ,940,-
