FOR TEACHERS
School Estimate Board Votes
in Favor of Raising S55, 900
for Bonuses to Teachers
NOW UP TO SCHOOL BOARD
That Amount Would Enable
Board to Pay $500 Bonuses
Asked for by the Teachers
NOW UP TO SCHOOL BOARD

The Board of School Estimate at
meeting yesterday afternoon In the
Office of Mayor Frank Dorsey voted
unanimously in favor of raising $685.,
600 for bonuses to be paid to the city
school teachers. Although the amount
of the bonus is not specified, the
teachers asked for a $500 bonus and
It is believed that the $500 request
was made of the board of school es-
innate based on this amount being
awarded.
The question now must be acted
upon by the Board of Aldermen. 1t
will be brought before the body at
their next regular meeting, June 81.
If the council endorses the action of
the board of school estimate 1t will
then rest with the school board to
decide what size bonuses VIII be
made possible with the s55.000 APP
preparation.
The means of financing the $55, 200
appropriation has not been decided
as yet. 1t will be possible to secure
the funds by an emergency bond is
sue or by an emergency note to be
included in next years tax budget.
This question will be decided when
it comes up before the aldermen for
consideration.
As the result of the action taken
by the school estimate board yester-
day 1t appears that the fight of the
city school teachers for an increase,
in the form of bonus, has not been
in vain. The teachers have had nu-
merous committees before the school
board from time to time, pressing
their requests, and also appeared in
body before the school estimate
board about two weeks ago.
A 5000 bonus, to be paid them un-
til the high cost of living has gone
down, was the request made by the
teachers. The increases will com
mence to take effect at the beginning
of the next school term which will be
in September, If the aldermen act
favorably upon the resolution au-
thorizing the $4,000 appropriation.
The $55,000 additional appropria
ton for school teachers salaries would
make. possible the payment of a 5000
annual bonus to 275 teachers. The
m embers of the board of school esti-
mate, Mayor Frank Dorsey, Alder
man. at Large John N. Wester. Alder
man Christian Andersen and School
Commissioners John X. Sheehy ana
Victor w. Main all agreed yesterday
that in order to maintain the highest
standards among the city's school
teachers they should be given the IN
crease in the form of a bonus for as
long a period as high prices continue
to prevail.

Long and Stormy Sessions

~ Inc ASSOctdTeC lrcSS
CHICAGO. juno 1o.-Behind its
schedule and still awaiting the out
come of the platform fight the Repub-
lican national convention today as
sembled for its third session.
A tentative agreement has been
reached not to hear any nomination
speeches until the platform has been
presented. Under that arrangement
today proceedings would be given to
filling In speeches"
Conferences of leaders began early
long before 8 o'clock, when the full
resolutions committee was to assem-
BILE.
The treaty fight revolved around
three proposals, the Johnson Bora h
demand for fiat declaration against
the treaty; the Crane plank for rati-
fication with reservations and Sena-
tor Smoot's proposed compromise,
approving the Republican senators
both for resisting ratification with
out reservations and for seeking rat
ification with them.
The text of the Smoot plank fol-
lows:
I'VE approve the action of the Re-
publican senate in resisting ratifica-
ton without safeguarding reserva-
tions and in seeking ratification in
accord with American principles
pendence of the people of the United
States"
When the resolutions sub-commit-
tee went into session this morning a
tentative foreign relations plank was
under consideration declaring oppo-
sition to the treaty without reserva-
tons but favor ratification with
American life safeguard.
The planks were framed after all
night conferences In which former
Senator Murray Crane. of MasSachu-
sets, leading the mild reservation
group participated. 1t contained In
substance a declaration submitted by
Senator Crane yesterday and had not
been accepted by the irrecincilableS.
The tentative draft also condemned
President Wilson's Mexican policy;
declared no Mexican regime should be
recognized until willing and able 10
give adequate guarantees for protec-
tion of American life and pledged the
Republican party to "a consistent.
firm and effective policy toward Mex
leo that shall enforce respect for the
American fag." and protect American
citizens and property.
There was no direct reference TO
Intervention in Mexico but It was de-
clared that the party should stand
for "insistence upon the maintenance
OF order" in Mexico. The proposal
for a mandate over Armenia was
condemned and the action of con-
gress in passing peace resolution
approved
1t was indicated that although ref
erences to the league of nations su!l
were in a formative stage in the sub
committee, that body probably Will
accept the tentative so far as It re-
lated to Mexico, Armenia and the
peace resolution.
The conference began in a desper-
ate effort TO conclude its work and
lay a completed platform before the

POLITICS LAGGING IN THIRD
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT

Politics as far as the third con-
gressional district, conceded are at a
standstill at the present time. Both the
Democrats and Republican parties
are remaining quiet. Even the many
congressional candidates for nomina-
ton on tthe Republican ticket are
silent which Is all due to the fact
that the interest of all politicians at
the present time is centered on ma
tional politics and the conventions OF
the two big political parties.
Although there are many Republi-
cans seeking the nomination of con-
gresham the Democrats party up to.
the present time is almost without
man willing to run for this office.
Both Sheriff Elmer H. Geran of Mon
mouth county and Mayor Frank Dor
sey of Middlesex county had been
mentioned for the nomination, but
with the appointment of Sheriff Geran
to United States District Attorney for
New Jersey, this eliminates him as
a possibility and leaves only Mayor
Dorsey as possible candidate. and
even he refuses to say whether or not
he will enter the contest.
1t Is known that the Democratic
party felt that the strongest candi-
date in the district for congressman
was Sheriff Geran, and until he ac-
cepted the appointment Of district at
torney, 1t was practically conceded
that Geran would be the nominee,
however with Geran accepting the
appointment it is said to have placed
the Democrats in quandary as to
who the candidate or candidates will
be.
There Is some doubt as to whether
or not a man from Middlesex county
will prove popular with the Monmouth
and Ocean Democrats, as Congress
man Thomas ]. Scully of Middlesex,
who has decided not to run again has
represented the district for some years
and in the presidential primaries both
delegates on the Democratic ticket
were elected from Middlesex. There
fore 1t is more than likely that a Mon
mouth or Ocean county man will be a
candidate for the nomination on the
Democratic ticket
The Republican party in the dis
trict seems with one or two exceptions
to be willing to let the nomination go
to a Monmouth county man, and L.
Frank Appleby a former mayor of AS
bury Park is receiving considerable
support for the nomination.

on last night by the sub COMMITTEES.
These included an industrial rela-
tions declaration from which refer

eral terms without mention OF q
cash boEus. the gratitude and gener-
osity of the party to former service
