The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-10-16

Much opposition to the plan of the relief committee on behalf of Bristol's unemployed to assess the teachers of this city ten per cent of thier annual salary for the bene- 1t of the unemployed was voiced by the teachers at meeting held in Federal Hill school on Wednes- day afternoon. So strongly are the teachers opposed to this system that they have appointed a com mittee to confer with officials of the relief committee in an endeavor to straighten the matter to the sat- isfaction of all concerned.
 The following delegates were ap- pointed by the faculty members: Helen Heffernan, Dorothy Hannon. Gertrude McCabe, Thomas Patter- son, Harry Williamson, Henry Cot tie, and Martin Anderson.
 In the discussion of the commit tees action, it was pointed out that the teachers of the Federal Hill school had already voted to donate from two to five per cent of their salaries to the fund and that other schools were formulating similar plans. In view of this action, the teachers resent strongly the action of the committee in high planning to deduct ten per cent from the annual stipends of all the city's teachers. The members of the teachers association also voiced disapproval with the makeup of the committee itself, claiming that it should be more representative of the various walks of life in the city, including a doctor, lawyer teacher, and a small taxpayer in addition to the manufacturing exe- cutives that now comprise the off, cials.
 As prelude to all this, the board of education had already in- formed the committee that it could not sanction its request for a ten per cent donation from the teach CTS and the city council, meeting with the relief committee on Mop- day last. had decided to request ten per cent donation of all city employees.
