The members of the execu

and Labor Council of Greater
New York. representing one fifth
of the entire membership of the
American Federation, of Labor,
yesterday withdrew the endorse
ment of Senator LaFollette, vot.
ed in September, and endorsed
John w. Davis.
This action, taken in con
junction with the previous de
claration for Davis by the pow
erful building trades council of
New York, Long Island and
vicinity, assures MIR. Davis the
support of approximately 700, 900
union workers in the greater

The statement of President
Sullivan and his associates in
the central trades and labor
council follows in part:
we, the members of the ex

I'VE hereby endorse John w.

ed States. We recommend to
our entire membership and to
all interested in the cause of

election of Davis.
In q September meeting we
endorsed the candidacy of Sen

that Mr.. LaFollette has no
chance of being elected president
and that vote cast for him in
this state. or anywhere in the

Use of the. probability curve" in
the new rating system adopted by
School officials for determining the
efficiency of the District public
year by the board of education yes
terday afternoon as the result of
strong protests from the teachers
Joint legislative committee
A concerted effort previously had
been made by the progressive bloc
on the board to maneuver through a
resolution introduced by Mrs. Laura
-. r Morgan to abandon for a year
| e .he entire new rating plan. When
| the resolution failed on a t.e vote. the
| conservative faction of the board 3
a compromise, agreed to abandon the
probability curve" feature until II
has been carefully studied by the
personnel committee.
The probability curve. proved to
be an enigma to many of the mem
Ders OF the board, and Superintendent
Frank W. Ballcu gave a comprehensive
explanation OF its purpose, and argued
against any change in the new rating
system.
The opposition to the new rating
scheme" said DR.. Ballou, comes from
very small group of teachers who
do not represent the great teaching
body in the District. There must be
some rating of teachers. 1t is re-
quired by law"
ne supeiiHtenoent gave a BRIEF
outline of the history of the new
rating system and pointed out that
IT had been planned to introduce it
last year, but formal adoption was
deferred in order to give all teachers
IN the system. an opportunity to
since last fall" he said. that the
new rating sheet would be used this
year.
Discussion of the new rating sheet
occupied more than a hour of the
boards time, and every member con-
win c. Graham of the conservative
wing, contended that the proposed
postponement in introducing the new
system would be serious mistake"
Capt. julius l. Peyser, leader of the
progressives, remarked that he could
not 'see any harm in postponing it
for a year" TRY the new rating
system for year" interposed
Mrs. HodgkinS proposal Is a. very
wise conclusion said Mrs. Coralie F.
Cook. Try it out cand let's see what
will become of it,"
'T have been on the board eight
years. and this is the third time the
please the teachers" declared Dr. ].
Hayden Johnson. "I think it is time
for us to try something definite
Ernest Greenwood, the acting chair
man. interjected that he was opposed
to the use of the probability curve"
at this time.
Tilt With Superintendent.
Throughout the entire proceedings
of the board. which lasted for nearly
| three and one-half hours, Capt. Pey-
ser. whenever the opportunity arose,
leveleG bitter attacks at DR.. Ballou.
The superintendent abandoned his ac-
quieScent tactics and met Capt. Peya
ser's charges with a spirit of defiance.
AS a result the progressive bloc
leader. pleaded for a little, congenial-
ity.''
DR.. Ballou's plan for converting
the Jefferson School into a junior
high school in September, which was
| ultimately approved. precipitated one
of the controversies between the
superintendent and Capt. Peyser. 1t
was charged by Capt. Peyser that
fair and frank expressions of opin-
ions had not been given to the com
