STRIKE EFFECTS.
GENERAL BUSINESS
PRODUCTION HAS DECREASED IN
MANY INDUSTRIES AND
sWELLED LIVING COSTS.
And, With Delayed Deliveries, Prices
Have Gone Up-ldieness Forced On
Others Than Strikers Has Seriously
Reduced Their Purchasing Power.

New York.-There are many aspects
of the general labor situation, as re-
vealed during the strikes of the rail-
way terminal workers during the last
fortnight, which have claimed and are
still claiming the attention of differ
ent branches Of the business COM
munity. Some of these ere quite OBJ
vious, while others are not 50 appar-
ent at first glance. The interruption
Of deliveries of all kinds of goods,
from the fuel that feeds the furnaces
of the mills and workshops to the per-
ishable and other foods needed in
crowded centers of population, are in
the first class. Aside from the annoy
once and privation so occasioned, there
is also the result, in some instances,
of increasing the cost Of living by
making necessaries scarcer, while in
other cases the prices of articles are
reduced because they can not be de-
livered in time for the seasonal trade
for which they are needed. Such con-
ditions add materially to the risks of
doing business, which under present
circumstances are plentiful enough
without them, and are not calculated
to inspire confidence or encourage
enterprise.
In the mills and factories them
selves the failure to obtain raw ma
terials leads to the slackening or stop
page of production, while the inabil-
ity to send out finished products
means added carrying charges and dis
putes with buyers over attempted can
cellations. The enforced idlenesS of
workers is also serious matter. 1t
is probable that those kept from labor
during the last week numbered twenty
strike, and the lesSened purchasing
power of those thus losing wages is a
real factor in curtailng consumer buy
ing. Viewed from another angle, the
situation has deeper and more far
reaching significance. The great and
needless annoyance caused the gen.
eral public has called forth a resent
ment which is bound to find express
sion in a resistance to future labor
demands and in the support Of those
employers who make such resistance.
People in general, who are not affili-
ated with organized labor or organ
lied capital are becoming tired of be-
ing exploited by each and are resent
ing being made the target for the mis-
siles of both. They make up the bulk
of the population of the country and
their view is public opinion.
Those who expected some marked
results from the official measures to
reduce the cost of living have reason
to feel disappointed at the results so
far obtained.
Little has come from the prosecu-
tons begun spasmodically in differ
ent portions of the country against
one retailer or another for excessive
charging,

The Dearth Of Teachers
The First Remedy is Better Pay, Says
Noted Educator, Who Began His
Teaching Career Forty Years Ago
BY GEORGE SAMLER DAVIS.
President Of Hunter College New Yo

No one now doubts that the present
dearth Of teachers throughout the
country is due primarily to the made
quate salaries paid for this form OF
service, and further. that the efforts
being made TO increase these salaries
are the first necessary steps to be
taken 10 relive the dearth.
Most OF those who enter upon the
work OF teaching do so for the love
Of it.; and the qualification OF this
love has been a sort of cOmpensating
satisfaction for the lack OF adequate
pay. II has made teachers indiffer-
ent. TO some extent, even 10 the mat
ter Of deserved social prestige OF
which adequate wage is a necessary
support
Teachers, as a class, have. think,
accepted the self-sacrifice Of their
position with little complaint until
The present pressure OF circumstances
resulting frem the changed world
conditions have forced them TO ef-
fective remOnstrance. They have
been compelled at least 10 resent the
fact that the habits. unthinking. also
accepted this sacrifice as a matter OF
/ course. AS the public acts slowly in
correcting untoward social conditions
and as opportunities presented TO in
dividual teachers TO better their state
defecLions from their ranks began
Evening journal., 1920-04-28

These defections are alarming in ex-
tent and apparently increasing. They
must be checked. If possible. and the
existing lack, augmented by deaths.
retirements, and increase In number
or pupils. must be made good.
The first remedy is better pay This
must be Of such amount as will Sc
cure for the teachers personal com
fort, opportunities for sclf-imprOve-
ment, maintenance OF rightful social
position, in accordance with the best
standards OF the community in which
they live.
In fixing compensation for teaching
we must not only provide a good
/ living wage for the beginner. but the
salaries for the higher positions
should be liberal, so that men and
women OF ability and worth shall sec
opportunities and ind incentive for
advancement.
II, in providing relief. this princi-
pie is observed, the educational au-
thorities can appeal with greater
effect to the graduates Of high
schools TO enter the training schools
and colleges with a view 10 becoming
/ teachers; and the presidents OF col
leges can appeal TO their undergrad
uates to prepare. by mesns OF a few
courses In general pedagogy. 10 de-
/ vote a year or two at least to the
work OF teaching after graduation.
