TRUSTEES ARE
QUESTIONED BY
TEACHERS TODAY
Demand to Know Where
Raise Will Come From

This afternoon the trustees Of the
board OF education will receive a let.
ter from the Chicago Teachers FEEDER
alton asking them where the money
for the proposed raise in teachers is
to come from. This letter was drawn
up after q motion was passed at the
special meeting OF the federation at
the Studebaker Thester. The meeting
was called to discuss the petitions
that have been sent around in the
schools by the superintendent asking
the teachers to agree to the wage
boost.
Call Their Bluff
The questions to come before the
board are:
In view Of the figures given in the
auditors report which show that the
board of education is working on
deficit and in December 1926 will be
completely bankrupt, where is the
money coming from7
Is 1t the intention Of the board to
propose an Increase in the tax rate?
We refuse to take raise at the
expense Of the children and we refuse
to allow some teachers to be thrown
out so that others may get raise in
wages.
Why did you fall down on your
promise to go after the taxable stock
yard property that is at present dodg-
ing the taxations? The teachers will
not be partners to a proposition to
increasing the tax levy until taxable
property that is excaping taxation is
collected for.
Are you going to take it out of the
building fund? We refuse to be part
ner to taking money that was speci-
fically collected to relieve the present
school congestion.
Miss Margaret Haley in speaking on
the proposal for increasing salaries
said 'If today we had board of edu-
cation that would address itself to
delinquent tax officials instead of ad-
dressing themselves to the children
if the board of education would take
the big stick and chase the tax asses
sors instead of chasing the children
they'd have the cooperation of the
Teachers Federation today"
The teachers also voted to reopen
their campaign for $4,000 to continue
their fight against the tax dodgers.
Subscription blanks were circulated

POLICE FAIL TO
STOP STRIKE OF
The DOUKHOBORS

NELSON, B. c., April defiance
of British school laws and hints at a
nude parade such as occurred at
Yorkton, Sask., and other parts of
Canada a few years ago, were ex-
pressed by $500 Doukhobors at Bril-.
liant, near here today, following a
meeting called by Inspector w. r.
Dunwoodie of the provincial police
and School Inspector P. H. Sheffield,
in an effort to break the school strike
which has been in progress in the
Doukhobor colony for some time.
AS one man, the congregation
shouted "No" in their Russian tongue,
when Inspector Dunwoodie put the
question direct, "Will you send your
children to school?"
"You have power to seize our
property for payment Of fines" de-
clared the Doukhobors' spokesman,
but if you do then all we can do is
take of our outer garments" which
was his method of suggesting a pro-
test against British domination.
Murmurs OF approval came from all
parts Of the crowd.

GOSSIP OF THE NATIONS CAPITAL

gathered by his thousand agents thru.
out the world. Coolidge seldom
changes his decision to suit Hoover
There is one cabinet member, how.
ever, to whom Coolidge turns with
confidence. Andrew Mellon is Cool

immensely rich, is in control Of great
numbers Of corporations and some big
banks, and never deviates from his
game of piling up more money for the
interests in which his fortune is in.
volved. Coolidge will not accept a
suggestion from Britain or Japan or
any other country until Mellon has
pronounced it sound.
Coolidge Economy Unpopular.
These past few days have been un-
happy ones for both Coolidge and
Mellon, and grimly humorous for
Hoover. Economy as preached by
Coolidge and endorsed by Mellon has
begun to hurt business. Patriotic
standpat citizens have reduced their
purchases. The court crier, speaking
over the radio from Washington, has
explained that the Coolidge gospel of
economy did not contemplate that Bill
Smith would fail to buy spring hat
as usual this year, or that Mrs Bill
would forego that new calico dress
marked down to SO cents. After ALL
the factories can't make profits unless
they run, and they can't run unless
someone buys new hats and dresses.
SO, to the propaganda-dazed audience
at the receiving end Of the radio the
administration gives it's permission to
go ahead and spend money again.
In this difficult time the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States,
rolling up millions in dues and "as-
sociate memberships" and subscrip-
lions to its magazine, which is devoted
to fighting public ownership and trade
unionism and higher standard of
living for the workers, has taken
firm stand. 1t wants the government
to repeal the federal inheritance tax
law. 1t has prepared a referendum
proposal to its membership, which will
come back with an overwhelming ma
jority, proposing that the federal gov.
eminent should drop this tax, now and
forever, and coordinate" federal and
state taxes so as to relieve the poor
rich and their estates.
Henry Ford, once hated by Wall
Street as a dangerous radical, is
preaching the same doctrine.

Japan. He was a leader Of the Chi
nese working masses and devoted his
life to the cause of the oppressed and
enslaved proletariat of China. Every
friend of Soviet Russia, every work
er exploited by world imperialism,

of New York in paying tribute to the
memory Of Sun Vat Sen.
Come to the meeting on Friday
night and bring along as many work
ers as you can. Honor Sun Vat Sen.
Demonstrate against Wall Streets
war-breeding policy. Oppose war
with Japan to grab China for Mr..
Morgan and Co. Demonstrate against
American militarism which exploits
and brushes American workers.
Prominent speakers will address the
meeting. There will be appropriate
music and singing.

WASHINGTON, April 7-Secretary
Of State Kellogg commands the most
important source of news in Washing
ton, outside the White House, when
congress and the supreme court are
in recess. Twice a day, for many
years past, press correspondents have
gone to the state department to ques-
ton the secretary or his chief assis
tant, and generally they have seen
one of the other of these officials. But
Kellogg is now shutting down this
gate against these interviews. He
cancels one after another. Hughes in
his least communicative moods would
show himself twice a week, and his
alternate could be seen once a day.
Kellogg has dropped the use of I'm
der-secretary Grew for these occas
ions, and is cutting down his own ap-
pearances to only about two week.
And even when he does come out
into the big reception room he has
nothing to disclose.
This failure talk to the press has
become so marked as to start all kinds
of rumors as to his actual grasp of
the business of the department, and as
to the degree of his hold upon the Job
itself. More often than not, when
asked where the United States stands
on given matter, he puts RESPONSE
bility on President Coolidge for his
answer or lack of answer. He seems
to consider himself simply a messen-
ger of the momentary impulses of the
man in the White House toward for.
eign affairs.
Charge Mental Bankruptcy.
Senate leaders have charged that
there is today no American foreign
policy. They say there is merely Cal
win Coolidge, who has never had any
taste nor aptitude for world politics
or economics. Strong men come
down from New York to spend Sunday
with him, and push him into a posi-
ton toward some British or French
or Japanese proposal. Other strong
men run down from Pittsburgh, or
come from Chicago or Palm Beach
with different ideas. He listens, and
then Dwight Morrow, of Morgan &
Co., who gave Coolidge his own cleo
trio hobby-horse to ride, gives his old
classmate the final suggestion. In
cabinet meeting on Tuesday or Fri
day the president breaches his plan,
perhaps, and Hoover offers amend.
ments based on his own knowledge.
