Shortage Of Teachers Seen;
To Be Worse Year From Now

ELLENSBURG With the 1912
teacher placement season open.
the Central Washington college
office is busily engaged in meet
ing the early demands and pre-
pairing for the expected rush in
the near future. The fact that
activity has begun early this year
indicates an emergency in which
the teacher demand continues
great, but the teacher supply has
been reduced.
In normal yesp, the Inland
Empire Education meet In Spo-
kane has signalled the opening Of
the period. Teacher training in
situations Of the Pacific North
west have maintained interview
bureaus at that convention which
comes in early April. This year.
however, school men are seeking
candidates even before that meet.

Solons to DEFY
F. D. on Labor
Committees Set
Hearings Thursday
BY JAMES X. SHEPI.EY
United Press Writer

WASHINGTON - The hous.
military and naval affairs com.
mites Wednesday planned 10 &C,
Immediately on restrictive labor
legislation despite President Roose-
vets warning that IT Is not needed
now.
The chairman Of both house
committees disclosed that they
have arranged Ia hold informal
Joint hearings on = bill pro-
posed BY Rep. Howard ".
smith. ID, Va The hearings
will start Thursday.
The pressure for suspension Of
legislative gains made by labor has
been increasing for more than a
week. Members claim that they
are getting thousands of letters
and kilograms from home demand
Ing an end of the 40-hour week.
Most Of the pressure seems 10 be
coming from the south and south
west.
The president told reporters
that his conference Tuesday
with labor leaders william
Green and Philip Murray con-
cerned the amazing amount of
public misinformation In the
United States about the gen
eral labor situation. He said
there were fewer men on
strike In the United States to-
day than anywhere else In the
world outside Of Germany
where labor In regimented.
Regarding the 40-hour week, he
said it was the popular impression
that men in war industries are
prohibited from working more than
40 hours This is not true, he said,
since war workers are working
whatever hours the production
schedules require and are being
paid at the rate of time and one
half for hours over 40. Payment
of overtime at that rate, he said,
has been a national standard for
years.
He said he did not agree
with labor leaders about pay
ment Of double time for Sun
day. however. He insisted that
work schedules could he stag
