Teachers Paid Less
Than Wage Farmers

Washington majority Of teach
ers in city school systems in the
United States are paid salaries lower
than the average annual income of all
gainfully employed persons, according
to a survey conducted by the National
Education Association. This low pay
basis obtains despite the fact that
educational salaries have risen dur
ing the past two years.
Out of 301 900 teachers, the asso-
citation points out, more than 100000
received less than $4,000 annually,
which is the approximate average in
come of all gainfully occupied per-
sons in the United States.

ARGENTINA
NEEDS TARIFF BOOST
FOR ITS PROTECTION
Ambassador Says Economic
Health Of His Country De-
pends on Export Trade

New York, May 28.-(P)-Ambassa-
dor Don Manuel e. Malnran OF Ar
gentina Thursday told the national
foreign trade convention his country
might be forced to embark on high
tariff policy in defense against the
tariff barriers of the United States
and other countries.
Don Manuel emphasized that Ar
gentina'S economic health depends on
the extent of her export trade, and
that the elimination Of that trade
may require her to protect and de-
velop her own industry just as the
United States has done with high tar
IFS.
Then" he said, "you would lose a
good market for your manufacturers
Il speak OF the remote future), but
in exchange you would gam our
gratitude for having taught us to
make use Of high tariffs"
American exports to Argentina in
1929 represented more than 40 per
cent OF our total South American ex-
ports, the ambassador said, and the
exports OF the first three months Of
1881 have decreased about go per cent
from 1890, which in turn was 80 per
cent under 1929.
Don Manuel called the United
States tariff prohibitive rather than
protective, citing that in the case of
linseed the tariff had been changed
upward 20 times--and that neverthe-
less the United States produces less
linseed today than she did in 1901
when the tariff was one third as
high.
The ambassador said the president,
working under the flexible clause"
could change rates when so advised
by the tariff commission, adding that
"the truth is that Argentine petitions
to the commission have not met with
the same good fortune in regard to
celerity of procedure as petitions re-
garding items coming from other
countries. But In spite of all this l
still have faith"

WATCH STORM FROM

WATCH STORM FROM
NORTH COAST LIMITED
st. Paul, May 28.-tR)-His ere
markable experience" In witnessing
devastation wrought by tho tornado
which later wrecked the Great North
ern railroads Empire Builder and
gave that road its first fatal accident
in years, was described Thursday by
Ben e. Lyons, st. Paul.
He viewed the storm from the rear
platform Of the observation car Of the
Northern Pacific railroads North
Coast Limited. Lyons, general counsel
for that road. said It was like having
q box seat at ball game. It was so
terribly exciting We probably did not
fully realize what we were seeing"
The North Coast limited pulled out
ahead Of tho Empire Builder from
Moorhead, Mimi, Wednesday and
just missed being hit by the tornado
that killed one person and injured
more than q score when the crack
Limited was brushed off the track.
"A brakeman summoned the pas
sengers to the rear PLATFORM" Lyons
said, Ito watch what he called a big
blow coming up We saw greenish
black cloud hanging over the country
q few miles west Of us. We had q
fine view.
THE cloud seemed to hover close
to the ground and was not moving
very fast. It sort Of hedge -hopped
along and we saw clouds OF dust swirl
through the air, then pieces of dust
sucked into the funnel.
ut headed for q group Of farm
buildings, dipped low and hurled the
barn skyward. Planks and pieces OF
roofing were hurled what seemed
hundreds of yards away. Other pas
sengers said the house too was de-
molished. Cattle scampered away
and the cloud rose. 1t was ques-
ton then whether It would strike q
grove Of trees.
"Just as it seemed it would miss,
every tree was levelled. I can't vouch
for that but other passengers vow
it's SO.
I'VE didn't think OF the Empire
Builder then. The cloud sort OF
circled behind US and cut toward the
Great Northern tracks, about three
miles away.
The brakeman at the time re-
marked "She's heading right for the
Empire Builder ,"
He was right though at the time
he didn't know it. A few minutes
later the Empire Builder was off the
track, swept out of the path OF the
greenish black cloud.
