ND ACTION TAKEN ON ORGANIZATION
 AT MEETING HELD
 BY 200 TEACHERS
Sense of Meeting There Should Be No Split Among Teachers, But Opposi- ton Is Expressed to
 AmIiation With La
 bor Organizations

So there could be no infer ence that the teachers of the Birmingham district were split in antagonistic factions, the teachers who held a meeting in the Chamber of Commerce auditorium yesterday after noon, refused to organize
 In no uncertain terms they expressed their objection to af- filiation with any organization that did not have as its first consideration the welfare ot the school children of Birmlng- ham.
 Nearly 200 teachers were present considerable number of them had some thing to say. But thorough familiarity with what is going on was the counsel of an before any definite action should be taken
 Let's go slowly. very slowly" advised Miss Anna F. Boden of the faculty of the Central High School. and they took her advice
 It was explained by Fraser Banks, prin- cipal of the Martin school, who presided, that the meeting was called to consider what attitude the teachers present wished to take concerning the movement on foot for teachers of the district to organize, with possible utilization with the Ameri- can Federation of Labor. :. Miss Boden was first to take the floor with a plea that nothing be done that might be construed as separating the teachers in Birmingham into factions that might tie the teachers to an or ganization of any nature that could force them into a sympathetic strike in matters not of local interest. or that the public would consider support of movement like the recent coal strike, which caused untold suffering to innumerable innocent

e, CALM AND THOUGHTFUL

The meeting was marked by the calm, thoughtful way the members took up each phase of the situation as it was pre- sented and kept constantly before the as Semblage the grave undesirability of forming what might look like an antago- nstic or belligerent camp in the local corps of instructors.
 There was one apparent attempt at what seemed to be an effort to stampede the meeting into unccnsidered utilization with another group of teachers meeting about the same time in the Tutwi1er hc- tel. Prof E. E. Smith spoke long and passionately in favor of those present taking ID the cause of the federation idea
 The teachers treated Mir Smith kindly, pleasantly, considerably, but that they utterly lacked sympathy with his sug- gestion was evident, in that they did not even discuss what he had said after he had left. His proposition, figuratively, fell sprawling.
 Woman after woman, and many of the men, clearly stated their attitude was that their first duty was to the children of Birmingham, their personal wishes and requirements being entirely subserv tent to that first work.
 Miss Lula Bradford said that her work was the teaching of the children of labor and capital alike. that the parents of these children were alike her friends and the thought of factionalisln was intol- erant to her.
 CAME TO FIND OUT
 But do not let us get away from the fact" she continued. that the other teachers are our coworkers, our profess sional brothers and sisters. It may be that it will be shown that the best in- terest of all is to take an active part in what they are doing, I don't know. I came here to find out what it was all about, and l am open to conviction, but this I will say, that as far as I see the situation now we have no cause in a conflict between capital and labor, and above all we should do nothing to divide the teachers of Birmingham into what might be considered hostile camps'
 It was the expressed sentiment of the meeting that to assure there being no division of the local teachers that the meeting should not even organize. but. instead, merely appoint a committee to secure the facts about the aims and wishes of the teachers who held the meeting in the Tutwiler hotel, and later to meet again and openly discuss what the committee had to report
 Miss Boden voiced general sentiment when she said her idea of the present situation. or any other that might arise was for the teachers to have but one To- itdl pI SdHilatipH ana that organization be free from subservience to any organi- zation that might compel teachers to take such steps as they might find extremely objectionable and with which they could have no sympathy.
 During the course of the conference it was moved that the meeting organize, but, though the motion was seconded, when the vote was put no one spoke. One teacher said she flatly refused to be labeled as part of any organization, that she had not seen much good come from such organizations. as far as the general public was concerned, and funda- mentally teaching was a matter for the Benefit of the general public Snaa lri,sr e,a In NIirr prn .l fo.a .....a.
