TEACHERS REALLY
HAVE A GRIEVANCE
But Appropriations Com
mittee Is Not Place To
Get Relief Asked
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
ln the Sir walter Hotel


Raleigh, Feb. 9.-The classroom
teachers who have been protesting to
Chairman D. L. Ward of the House
Appropriation Committee against al
lowing superintendents and principals
a larger increase in salaries than is
recommended for teachers, have a
real grievance, but are making their
protests to the wrong committee, it
is pointed out here While it is ad-
mitted that in a number of cities and
towns where local supplements have
been voted, the principals and teach
ers have gotten a much larger share
of the supplemental funds than have
the teachers, the reason has been be-
cause the local school board decided
to increase the salaries of the prin-
cipals and superintendents more than
those of the teachers and not because
of any action 10y the General Assem-
bly,.
Accordingly, the teachers who are
now protesting to Chairman Ward,
of the appropriations committee,
should really be making their protests
to their local boarda of education, it
is pointed out, since at the present
time no principals or uperintendents
have obtained larger percentage of
State funds in salary increases than
have the teachers. If anything, the
teachers have gotten really more than
have the superintendent and prin-
cipals, because they have received
their salary increases and increments
both, it is pointed out. Nor is there
any proposal at this time to give the
superintendent and principals lar
ger share of the proposed 10 per cent
increase than the teachers.
In fact, all the appropriations COM
mittee does is to decide upon the
lump sum for the schools. It does not
even break the appropriation down in
to the amounts for teachers salaries
and other activities. The manner in
which the school appropriation is to
be spent is set forth later in the
school machinery act, which in turn
directs the School Commission as to
how it shall allot the school fun for
expenditure by the superintendent.
If the teachers want a section writ
ten into the State law to prevent local
school boards from increasing the sal
aries of superintendent and prin-
cipals more from local supplemental
funds than teachers, they should go
before the joint education committees

Huge $e5o,oOo, 600 Relief
Bill Signed by Roosevelt
iContinued from Page One.)

from a House session to see his
daughter, Talulah.
The Senate and the House, faced by
the threatened suspension of relief
payments, labored until late yesterday
to adjust their differences over the
appropriation.
The chief dispute, whether congress
sional committees should be allowed
to use relief funds for investigation,
was compromised in a ban on borrow
ing certain personnel from relief
agencies, effective in 80 days.
With this important legislation com
pleted, Congress turned its attention
to the Presidents two major propos-
ais so far this session reorganization
of the courts and the government
executive departments.
The Supreme Court, which Mr..
Roosevelt would increase from nine
to Is justices over 70 did not retire,
was hearing arguments on the consti-
nationality of the Wagner act guaran-
teeing labor the right to bargain col
lectively. Talk of a compromise on
charging the court was heard in Cap
ital corridors.
House leaders hoped to get passage
today of an extension of the Presi-
dents power to make reciprocal trade
treaties with other nations. Republi-
cans sought to curb the power.

George Uzzell, of Salisbury, chairman
reported the bill unfavorably by a
Yate of II to g. But the following day
it was referred back to the commit
tee and indications now are that after
some changes are made the bill will
be reported favorably
Credit for sending the bill back to
committee for further consideration,
instead of letting it die on the unfa-
voraI5le calendar, is due to Governor
Clyde r. Hoey more than any one
else, according to most observers. It
is understood that he felt, in view
of his recommendations for stricter
labor laws, that it did not look very
good to have the child labor amend
ment and the 40-hour week bills kill
ed, all within a week. And while it is
agreed that Governor Hoey shed no
tears over the defeat of the child
labor amendment bill and made no
move to help it along-some think he
helped kill 1.-THE belief now is that
he is going to bat for the 40-hour
week bill and is going to put the full
force of his influence back of it.
AS result, it is believed that the
textile manufacturers and merchants
who are still opposing the bill will
eventually modify their opposition to
it and that it is noW likely to be en-
acted. Indications are that the toIbac-
co industry, already on 40 hour
week basis, is not opposing the bill.
