HOUSE WON'T GIVE
D. c. TEACHERS
Congressman BIanton Loses
Fight to Grant Them
Salary Bonus.

Congressman Blanton of Texas made
determined fight I'm the House today
to secure an additional $500 bonus for
all school teachers of Washington
during the summer recess.
His amendment to the sundry civil
bill was finally knocked out on a point
of order by Congressman Good, chair
man of the appropriations committee,
but not without precipitating lively
debate.
when Samuel Gompers comes here
and puts Morrison in the gallery with
the rests sofs hsis cohorts, you pay
some attention to what he says" Mr..
Blanton declared when an attack was
made against his amendment as being
unauthorized by law.
rs there any reason on the face
of the earth why Congress cannot az
ford to pay the school teachers a
measly little $500 bonus?" Mr.. Blan.
ton demanded.
Congressman Good replied that
teachers already had been voted in
creased pay for 1921, and other mem
bers agreed with him that there is no
ned for a bonus at this time.
Congressman Blanton protested
that the school teachers are the poor
est paid employees of the Government,
and that a great majority of them
found it necessary to do other work
during the summer in order to make
their expenses.
ut isn't right that they must be ex-
pected to work all summer after
teaching during the winter months,
Blanton asserted. Congress can well
afford to give them the $500 bonus in
order to take care of them during the
summer recess"

cles which IL claims are misrepresent-

that the word wool Is one or the

"And the purchaser bears the bur

largely due to unfair trading and the

that there is such. q tremendous In
