ASK
BONUS Of 5000
Committee Waits on Board of
Education With Plea for $40
a Month Bonus.

The Board OF Educat on was wait
ed upon by committee of three
women teachers from The grammar
school. representing the grade teach
ers. at it's regular monthly meeting
last night. The Misses Chesansly,
Hawk and Fritz presented the case
of the group they represented in re-
gard to a bonus for all grade teachers
for the coming year. Citing the
prices of board, room, dress and all
other expenses q teacher incurs dur
Ing year the com mittee claimed that
it was entirely impossible for the min
imum teacher to make both ends meet
and that the minimum grade teacher
can just about get through the year
IL she lives very economically. In
view of this fact. the women grade
teachers ask "a bonus of $50 Il month
for the coming year, or 5000 dollars
for the year.
Another grievance OF the teachers
was the raise in salary which the
men teachers of the grammar school
have obtained on the strength that
they are doing special work which
women cannot handle. The COM
mittee seemed to think that they could
very ably handle all branches of the
grammar school work, and pointed
out that In the case of the incorri e
gibles. a man teacher taught the class
for only five months of the year and
that other teachers had these chill
dren distributed among them for the
remaining six molths, with no special
consideration.
The board last night said that it
was not possible for il to do anything
at this time. The president pointed
out that the budget had already been
drawn up and accepted and that IL
the teachers care TO present their ease
to the Board of school Estimate, they
(the Board of Education) would be
able TO give the matter due consider
alton. The committee, however, left
it's letter with the board.
Examples of the splendid work be-
ing done by the several departments
of the grammar school were shown

and met with their high approval
Two rugs woven from old ingrain

Study In Profiteering
Presented Report the Railroad Labor Board in Support
of Rail Workers Request for Higher Pay and in Answer
to Charge That H. C. of l. Due to High Cost of Labor

tends that a threefold relationship
exists between high prices, prof
teering and the addition to the quota
of millionaires, and that the in
crease in the wealth Of the wealthy
is an unanswerably refutation ito all
attempts to charge labor with prof.
teering, and to all attempts to hold
labor responsible for the high cost OF
living.
For, If invested wealth gets q
larger return" says the study, "a
larger proportion of the national in
come than formerly the man who
gives personal service or labor is
bound to get a smaller proportion.
The menace of the future lies in the
probability that the vast profits still
held in reserve will be capitalized in
order that, under the pretext of a
fair return on capital those who own
them may continue to take the larg-
er proportion of national income,
even at the expense of very great
suffering on the part of the workers
when the over stimulation Of war has
passed away"
Shoes, according TO the study, fur
nish a splendid opportunity for the
profiteer. The profit items in 1914,
1t was charged, absorbed nearly one
half the price paid by the consumer
or nearly three times the total labor
cost. While in 1917 the profit items
amounted to approximately three
fifths of the total price and more
than FIVE times the total labor cost.
Increases I'm retail price of btu
minous coal were shown at four
times the increase In labor cost,
while proportion of the proceeds of
the industry received by the coal OPP
orator was shown as increased from
rs to 400 per cent.
Profiteering did not stop with the
armistice, the report declared, pre-
senting figures to show that corpora
ton profits in 1919 were 110 per
cent. over the pre-war average, which
means, the study added that 1919
profits were more than double the
average for 1912-1914.
An average of $1,000 per family OF
five during the years 1916-191S was
declared to be probably a highly con-
servative estimate of the actual cost
of corporation profteering to the
consumer.
Concluding his study Mr.. Lauck
submitted the following general de-
mands in the name of the railroad
workers:
/. Labor in general and railroad
labor in particular must have wage
increase proportionate to advances in
living costs.
2. In the present crisis and for all
time to come producers and middle
men must be restrained from advanc-
ing prices in excess of increase In labor
and material costs.
8. Producers and middlemen must
from including income and
excess profit taxes in their costs and
passing them on to the consumer with
an added profit.
4. The principle of a living wage
must be accepted and established In
order that normal production may be
restored and increased production
hoped for in all fields of industry.

MASONIC HALL
WILL BE BUILT
Dayton Property at 262 State
Street is Secured by Com
bined Lodges of City.

Masonic organizations of this city
nave combined for the purpose of
erecting a Masonic building here. A
committee was named some time ago
composed of Ferd Garretson, of Rar-
llan Lodge No. G1; Isaac Alpern, of
Pfeiner. of the Craftsmen Club. for
the purpose of securing site on
which to erect q building suitable for
nome FOR the various organizations
OF the order in the city.
Raritan Lodge, that has been in
existence for sixty years. several
years ago secured a piece of property
in Maple street on which thew ex,
pected to erect a building some time.
This site is now In the market for
sale. The committee of the three or
ganizatio have secured the proper
ty of Spencer Dayton at 26a State
street on which 1t is proposed to erect
the new Masonic temple. The con-
tract was signed a few days ago The
property. on which Is the residence
or MIR. Dayton. has a frontage of sc
feet and is 100 feet deep. The order
viii not take possession until some
time in 1921 according to the an
nouncement made by a member of
the committee this morning when
asked In regard to the purchase Of
the property.
Raritan Chapter No. 5S, Order of
the Eastern Star. and Amboy Chap
ter No. Al, Royal Arch Masons, are
the other Masonic organizations In
the city who will share in the prop
erty that has been secured. Raritan
Lodge, Raritan Chapter, Amboy
Chapter and the Craftsmen Club all
meet at the Elks Home in Madison
avenue and Prudence Lodge meets at
odd Fellows hall at the present
time.
When the new building is erected
all will be under one roof not only
for their meetings but for all other
social and fraternal gatherings of the
five organizations. The new location
is opposite the high school and is one
OF the most desirable for such pur-
poses in the city. 1t is said, at the
present time
