representing fourteen truck companies,
six engine companies and the water

So great was the headway gained by

OTHER CITIES PAY
Central Salary Committee
Asks Increase of 80
Per Cent Here.

That substantial salary increases
are being granted in many large cities
of the country is shown by informa
ton gathered by the central salary
committee representing all the teach
ers of the five white high schools
with Harry English as chairman.
Inquiry into salary conditions in
seventy other cities shows that every
where schools are passing through a
period of adjustment From several
the report comes:
THE latest increase is not sufficient
to hold teachers Many are leaving -
Believing that only an adequate in
crease in salaries to teachers will
remedy the present difficulty in OBJ
tanning and holding teachers in the
local schools, the central salary com
mittee has asked for an increase of
so per cent for all teachers.
Some Large Increases.
The results of the investigation into
salary conditions have been laid be-
fore the board of education and the
District subcommittee of the House
appropriations committee. 1t was
found that in some cities adequate in
creases already have been granted.

to her teachers since 1914. Pitts
burgh is paying high school teachers
from $3.50 to $3.50 and has voted to
raise this to. $1.50O-$3. 500 for next year.
To pay these salaries Pittsburgh must
exceed its present taxing capacity, but
a vigorous campaign is on to obtain
legislation increasing the city's taxing
power.
In Other Cities.
Other increases which have been
granted are:
Atlanta, an increase Of Is per cent.
May /, 1919. In January Of this year
another increase of $3.50 a month was
granted.

increase Of $500 over last July.
