CHICAGO PROCEEDS
WITH SCHOOL CUTS
Teachers, Pupils and Parents
Gird for Battle Over
Retrenchment.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July ia week of sharp
skirmishes, in court and outside,
loOmed today as the battle over Chi
cago's educational system took on
new and more serious aspect, with the
announcement yesterday of a S5,000,-
000 retrenchment program, calling for
wholesale discharge of teachers, elimi-
nation of departments and restrictions
Of Curricula.
Teachers, pupils and parents began
girding themselves for battle to COM
pei the board to reScind its action.
Charging that the boards economy
policies would throw back to the little
led school house stage an elaborate edu-
--tiOnal structure that somehow fire.
s>tE-tly managed to develop sever aches
s1Id pains. parent and teacher groups
began distributing tickets for a mass
eeeting on Friday.
Will Test Legality.
Their ATTORNEYS formulated plans for
testing the legality of the boards move.
The board invited them to come
ahead and issued several statements
explaining why they would stand by
their guns.
1t all began on July u when the
school trustees met and vigorously
swung the ak in the interests of
economy.
1t provided, among other things:
Discharge of nearly 400 school en-
ployes, mostly teachers: abolition of the
Junior high schools; no more purchase
OF musical Instruments; no more pur-
chase OF textbooks, pending inventory,
and dlscontinuance of bath rooms "eX-
cept where deemed essential"
In short. president of the board.
James B. McCahey explained, elimina-
ton Of "fads and frills."
Allan Carter, counsel for the Chicago
Principals Club. announced legal action
against the trustees would probably be
instituted, but he declined to say what
would be the course of action.
One line of attack, leaders of the
teachers pointed out, would be an in
junction restraining the board from
CARRYING out its program on the ground
1t violated the tenure of Office clause
OF the school law.
Merely Abolish Jobs.
After passing examinations and pro-
batlonary periods. teachers can be re-
moved only by charges of immortality,
proved before the school board.
Board members, welcoming a court
test raised a fine point, indicating they
might reply in this way: They had
fired no one, merely abolished some
positions, the teachers going with them
to the extra lists.
President McCahey issued a statement
explaining the economy measure was
directed against ''pinochle playing"
pedagogues.
I'VE are eliminating soft jobs" he
said. "We found there were five or
more athletic instructors on the pay
roll at one school, working perhaps two
hours day and playing pinochle the
rest of the time"
The board of education signed a
statement declaring the action was
taken as an alternative to closing the
schools. whose credit was exhausted, or
reducing teachers salaries.
The teachers are approximately $22,-
100000 in arrears in pay.

FOR PAST RECORD
Representative Black Tells
Federal Workers of
Its Influence.

The American Federation Of Labor
was praised as an Organization that
can make itself felt on election day"
by Representative Loring D. Black Of
New York as he spoke last night at a
meeting Of the District department.
American Federation of Government
Employees, in the Hamilton Hotel. The
Federation Of Government Employees.
organized within the last year, is af-
filiated with the A. F. of L.
Only a powerful organization like
the A. F. Of L. can get things done by
Congress, the speaker said, adding that
in the flood of propaganda and misin-
formation, ''it Is a great relief to us
lCongreSs) to know there is an organ
ization like it on which to rely for a
true reflection Of public opinion"
Declares Votes Count.
If you have votes, it has q lot
greater pressure on u.s." the New
Yorker told the Government workers.
You might as well know it."
The Government pay cut was called
a special tax" on those who bear it,
and they won't do it to you if you're
strong and control enough votes to
make your wants felt, the speaker con-
tinued. With a little intelligent
handling. and making the men in Con
gress know that you mean business, ="

concluded.
Advantages Outlined.
A. j, Oliver, national organizer for
the federation. outlined the advantages
OF afflllation to organized labor and
pointed out that from 1912, when
President Taft signed the law abolish
ing the so-called gag law. there never
has been an instance when organized
labor refused to aid Federal workers in
their struggles for living wage and
better working conditions

mise as the fact that two and two make
four. It is not necessary to infer that
Mr.. Baruch persuades the President-to-
be to his views. The fact Is that every
formal public utterance Of Mr.. Roose-
velt about currency, and every report
OF visitors who have had informal con-
versations with him, all reflect him as
believer in sound money and in what
conservatives deem to be sound fiscal
practice.
All this inference about the visit of
one man to Warm Springs is justified
by the fact that it comes during a
widespread wave of assertion that the
United States is going into a period of
lnf1at1on. Mr. Baruch's visit to Mr..
Roosevelt coincided almost to the hour
with a scene IN the Senate in which
another Democrat. supposed in the past
to be close to Mr. Roosevelt, Senator
Burton X. Wheeler of Montana. was
making fight for the free coinage of
silver in ratio to gold, "l6 to l." iden-
tical with the formula upon which
William Jennings Bryan made his vain
attempt to win the presidency during
the depression Of the 1905.
Source Of differences.
Most OF the world outside Washing
ton and much Of Washington Is making
its differences from the Wheeler type OF
Democrat rather than the Baruch type.
Nevertheless. that part of Washington
which has the most sure-footed judg-
ment believes. on the contrary, that the
new Democratic administration will
keep the currency sound and will bal
ance the budget. 1t is true as a record
Of current fact that much Of the finan-
cial community in New York and in
European cities Is going on the assump-
ton that there will be currency infla-
ton. There Is present temperance in
Europe Of that selling short" of the
dollar which is based on anticipation
that the dollar will be worth less in a
few weeks. It will be recalled there was

BARUCH BELIEVED
FIGHTING INITIATION
Significance Is Seen in Sound
Currency Defenders Warm
Springs Visit.
BY MARK SULLIVAN.

Without attaching too much signifi-
canoe to any one of the hundreds of
visitors to President to be Roosevelt
and admitting that Congressman who
visit Mr.. Roosevelt and later compare
notes sometimes find that he has been
amiably sympathetic to opposing views
it is nevertheless impossible not to infer
that the visit Of Bernard M. Baruch to
Warm Springs Is sign pointing strong
ly away from any prospect of imitation
of the currency by the coming admin
istration and the new Congress. Among
all Democrats, leaders or rank and file,
Mr.. Baruch Is the most aggressively in
sistent on what the Democratic plat
form last June called "a sound currency
to be preserved at all hazards"
To say that sound currency and sound
fiscal practice by the Federal Govern
ment, including balancing of the budget,
Is hobby with Mr.. Baruch would be to
underrate both the man and the cause.
1t Is passion with him. He thinks
more about 1t and gives more time to 1t
than to his private affairs. He has
been an earnest an intelligent critic
OF the present Republican admInistra-
ton for not having done as much to-
ward balancing the budget as Mr.. Ba-
ruch thinks 1t could and should have
done. He holds most seriously the con-
viction that balancing of the budget by
the coming Democratic Congress will
almost as an act standing alone, be
enough to start the country off on a
period OF prosperity which will make
the Nation happy and give the Demo-
Gratis long lease Of power With equal
posltiveness he holds that failure of the
Democrats to balance the budget will
doom the country and the party to a
miserable experience.
Urbane and Tolerant.
To say Mr.. Baruch is uncompronjs-
ing on sound fiscal practice by the Gov
ernment Is not to impute to him the
harsh intolerance sometimes associated
With the word ''uncompromising." He
is In fact urbane and tolerant. but intel
iectually ne Is sure that sound money
is principle as impossible to compro.

Misrepresentation Alleged by Miss

in favor Of Miss Grace L. Hutton
against the New York Title g. Mort

the local corporation and influenced the
jury in granting verdict against both
companies, it is stated
A number of similar suits are pend

Sentations as made in the Hutton suit.

much Of that practice nearly q year
ago, during April and May, 1882. It
was done In the expectation that the
Congress then in session would not lay
new taxes nor enact economies in gov
eminent. On that occasion President
Hoover went before Congress In person
and asked them to do the things which
would preserve the fiscal integrity of
the country. Congress Immediately took
the steps necessary to bring assurance.

AUTO APPLICATIONS
SWAMP REGISTRAR
More Than 10000 Received in
May, Passing Last Years
Total Mark
IN unprecedented deluge Of late

An unprecedented deluge of late
applications for automobile licenses
has taxed the motor vehicle regis
tration department to capacity and
caused delay in distribution Of plates
Registrar L. H. Mccoy said Friday.
More than 10000 applications were
sent to the department In May, the
registrar said, and at the end Of the
month more applications had been
received than for the entire year
1882. Registration totaled $4,000 in
1882.
The department has had as many
as II mail bags Of applications In
the vault at one time, unable to get
at them because of the deluge, Nc
Coy said.
Thousands of applications were
mailed on or about May Is, when
penalties began, making receipts OF
applications in the office for that
week the greatest on record. Eco
nomic conditions, with the result
that many motorists held off secur-
ing licenses as long as possible. &C.
counted for the rush. Mccoy said.
At present the department is send.
ing out from $500 to 1,750 licenses
daily, which Is the best the depart
ment can do with equipment and
personnel available. More than sc
are working regularly in the depart
ment and the staff has included as
many as 40 persons, the registrar
said.
Mccoy said that. contrary to 9
prevailing rumor, Governor William
LANCER has issued no proclamation
delaying the deadline date, on which
penalties begin, to June Is.
Penalties began May Is. he said
10 cents day for the first Is days
and So for every 80 days or tractor
thereof after the deadline.
The department is powerless tt
change the penalties, Mccoy said
because the deadline for making ap.
plication is set up in a Legislative
statute.
Applications for licenses are beint
received at the rate of about 800 pc
day now.
