FEDERAL STRIKE |
 FEARED IN FRANCE
Government Employees Charge Off cials Get Princely Pay, While
 They Do Work.

Paris, Oct 1.-The new French budget provides for increases in pay for Government employees which will amount to a billion and half francs a year, but the employees are dissasts- fled with this amount and threaten tC strike if it is not increased to about two and a half billions. One of their argu- ments is that the higher functionaries of the Republic are paid prince1y sala- ries, while the underpaid employees dc all the work.
 This argument has provoked con- parison of the salaries paid the leading Government officials i'll France with those of other countries. The highest emolument is that which goes to the President of the Republic who, at the present rate of exchange, draws the equivalent of $1OO,OO0 year. The Presidents of the Senate and the Cham Der of Deputies each gets about 5000 a year; the Premier Is paid $6,600. The heads of departments, who refuse to ad- init the claims of the employees, de- clare that no first class power in the world pays its higher officials so poorly or has made greater efforts to improve the situation of Government clerks than France.
 The Government having recently rec ognized the right of the employees o form unions attached to the Federation of Labor, the threat of the clerks to strike is taken seriously now for the first time

and not to be changed in the slight est, respectfully refer him to the views of Thomas Jefferson on the Constitution. Jefferson, one of the greatest men this nation has produced and author of the Declaration of In dependence, said:
 Il am certainly not an advocate of frequent and uneried changes in laws; imperfections had better be borne witf,s because when once known, we accom- modate ourselves to them, and. find practical means of correcting their ill effects.
 But I also know that laws and irs- stitutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind As that becomes more developed, more. enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths disclosed, and man ners and opinions change with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also, and keep pace with Ithe times"

BY THE WAY
Comment and Criticism About Things
 Doing In The World

Averaging good and bad years, 10 to 12 per cent of all the workers in the United States, several mmillions of men and women, are out of work att the time, the Russell Sage Foundation re- ports. The report is based on a five year study of employment methods, needs and agencies.
 After citing the fact that each
 year from 100000 to 6,000. .ooo
 persons are out of work for weeks
 and sometimes for months at a
 time, the report says:
 There is something which we are
 just beginning to recognize, a re-
 sentiment on the part of the work
 CTS against an industrial situation in whihch such insecurity and uneer-
 tainty of employment are possible.
 It is not only unemployment but
 the fear of unemployment, the
 knowledge that any job is uncertain
 and insecure, subject to the huctu-
 ations of economic change, which
 are feSPOnSlDle TOT much or our
 present industrial unrest"
 The widespread unemployment dis closed by the Foundations report IS fraught with far-reaching economic social, psychological and moral con- sequences. It reveals serious situa- ton and shows that everything is not perfect in this country, the reaction aries to the contrary. As the Sage Foundation points out, actual unem- ployment' and fear of unemployment is responsible for much discomfort Stabalize employment and much of this discontent~ will disappear.

SEEKING END OF
 TEACHERS UNION
Iron Heel of Chicago Big Business
 Protested.

Chicago, Oct. 11.-Organized teachers of Chicago jammed two downtown tfeaters in a determined protest against the iron heel of big business and auto cratic czardom which the recently inn ported Superintendent McAndrews is crushing down on them.
 They are just as determined to crush your organization as they are to crush organized labor everywhere-if they can" Business Manager Margaret Haley of the Chicago Teachers Federation told her hearers.
 The specific grievance that brought the teachers together was the final oust- ing of the teachers councils from the school program. These councils under previous school administrations met oc- casiona11y during the year on school time to discuss school problems. Their recommendations had official right to the superintendent's attention. All teach CTS attended as part of their school days work.
 McAndrews, who has done a good job for big business in New York, fought to oust the councils and after some opposition in the school board he succeeded. He wants them to meet af- ter school This will break up the at tendance and weaken their influence. The teacherst fear also that the princi- pals and other executive officers, hither- | IoI +1a sfc will be forced in by the superintendent
 The councils have served to keep Up the quality of the teaching force by their influence on salaries. Chicago has become the aim of many first class teachers because adequate wages are paid If McAndrews wants to cut sal aries, as is feared he has paved the way by giving the councils knockout
 The protest meeting was in fighting mood and roundly cheered the speakers who interpreted the fight on the orga- nizations as another attack on the right of Chicago children to get good schooling The daily papers were sound ly spanked for misrepresenting the is- sue, favoring the superintendent against the children and the teachers. Last spring the papers urged voters to put over bond issue for a zoo and to kill the school bonds The voters decided for the children against the monkeys
 It was voted to have prepared state ments sent by the Teachers Federation to the papers for publication and the committee was authorized to insert them as paid advertisements if the press re- fused to publish them as written. It was also voted to carry the fight into the political campaign by finding out from each legislative candidate how he stood on giving the teachers the right by state law to maintain their old councils 4 third measure that carried was to get the cooperation of the Chicago divi- sion, Illinois State Teachers Associa- ton, 1n the fight
 At an opposition meeting in the eveh- ing Superintendent McAndrews told ar audience that he would see to 1t thai more patriotism was taught in the schools. This is taken as another omer of big business propaganda to be in jected into Chicago's school system.

W J. Bryan Talks on
 Theory of Evolution

SEATTLE, Sept 15.-In a speech at the First Methodist church in this city last night William J. Bryan said in part: When we send our sons and daughters away to be educated we do not want their hearts robbed of a belief in God Professors who teach evolution and preachers who deny the Virgin birth of Christ and who doubt the miracles of the resur- rection and the blood of Christ at the moment are calling the Bible a lie and bringing Christ down to the level of man, and man down to the level of beasts"
 In discussing Nicholas Murray But ler's recent interview regarding li- quor, Bryan said that because Butler found liquor necessary for him he thought it was necessary for every one. There are many people who do not need alcohol to stimulate their brain. Bootleggers convicted three times should be sent to prison as habitual criminals, and his patron is lower than he is and more of a crin- inal to buy liquor than to sell it.

 A petition had been circulated ask ing that Gen. Pershing be again placed in active service, but the President believed that for good of the service it were better that he vacats the place for those next in rank.
