cial statement was forthco ing. In
ciaentally from variou~ city hall
sources comes word that no action
Will be taken this year TO equaliJe
the teachers salaries.
Members of the teachers commit
tee have publicly pointed out the
boards rather inconsistent and vacil-
lating stand on the matter. Several
local women'S organiza lions within
the past week have publicly en-
dorsed the teachers stand and have
expressed a very emphatic opinion
that the existing pay inequalities
should be rectified. The amount in
volved will not occasion any in
crease in the present tax rat" they
argue, and favorable action would
60 a long ways to establishing peace
and content in the ranks of the local
teachers. For this one reason alone
it is reported some of tho men
teachers are hopeful that the women
teachers win their point. They dis
count any intimation of gallantry in
their stand but are merely on record
as appreciative of the efficiency and
experience of their associates. And
also, it has been pointed out 1t would
clear decks" for cooperative action
in the near future when the post
war picture is less haZy and when
city officials may be less reluctant to
talk pay boosts"
In Other Cities
It has been pointed out by the
teachers committee that Hartford,
Greenwich, Springfield and v orces-
ter and other communities have
equaliZed teachers salaries. New
York state adopted the program
when AL Smith was governor. Uncle
Sam pays his thousands of WAVES,
WACS, SPARS, We MEN MARINE
RESERVES and other service Wo-
men equal pay with privates, nom
commissioned and commissioned Of
ficers. Only recently the American
Brass company readjusted its pay
schedules to compensate women en-
gagged in certain types of work equal
pay with men.
One of the chief contentious OF
the women teachers is that women
perform the same duties as male
teachers and receive an annual sal
airy of $500 less. When retirement
day rolls around there is differ
ence of $165 annually in the pension
allowed.
The contention that male teachers
have more dependents to provide for
is met with the statement that it is
only the exceptional woman teacher
who has not family responsibilities
to carry and in many instances that
duty has become more exacting
since the war started.
New Objective
However, this week is regarded as
the turning point In the controversy
A special meeting of the board has
been requested SO that the principal
features as briefly reviewed above
may be brought out more in detail.
Despite the report that the matter is
closed incident the teachers will
continue their campaign with the
focal point of their offensive shift
ing from the school board to the eX-
ecutive chambers of the city hall.

.Vinson Fails

tax leaders claimed today that Eco

tons new slO,500,O00,OO0 tax pro

But they recalled him TO answer
Republican assertions that at least
half OF the ADMINISTRATOR re
quest for new revenue could be
discounted through economies In
government expenditures.
Two Democratic members OF the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee said, after hearing Wilson'S
testimony yesterday, that they
were sold more than ever on the
need OF a 10 per cent federal sales
tax.
Vinson was sent TO Congress as
a salesman. for the Adminlstra.
tons program. He argued that a
sales tax would result in an eight
per cent increase in the cost OF liv'
ing and return the 'inflationary
spiral" to the level existing before
President Roosevelt issued his

Republican committeeman con.
tended that all OF Wilson'S argu-
ments were "shot full OF holes.
All members declined to comment
directly because OF their personal

ii was a minimum requirement in

insisted that the country Is faced
with a dire threat OF initiation, add
ing:
"Eyen II the country was not

Plans to
.ClrCunVent
Front Debate

Washington. Oct. 7-INS-There
were strong indications today that
Secretary OF State Cordell Hull
will rule out any debate over the
opening OF a so-called second front
in Europe in the Moscow meeting
OF foreign ministers which is now
imminent.
Those familiar with Hull's views
are convinced he will refuse TO be
drawn into any protracted discus
sion of Allied military strategy at
the Moscow conference.
Concern has been felt in some
diplomatic quarters that the So
viets might attempt to link up the
extent OF their willingness to co
operate with this country and Great
Britain in the postwar world with
the promptness with which the
Anglo American armies launch a
major invasion of western Europe.
Hull has always taken the posi-.
ton that he is not qualified TO dis
cuss military matters. 1t is be.
lieyed he will stick to that stand
in the Moscow talks with British
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden
and Soviet Foreign Commissar V.
Malatov.
Hull is understood to be chiefly
interested in discussing with the
Soyiets those political aspects OF
the war and postwar problems
which are of direct vital interest
to the three major Allied powers.
He hopes to persuade the Soviet
government of the advantages OF
forming with this country and
Britain what he views as mutual
insurance company to prevent fu
ture world wars.
II the Soviet government Is dis.
posed to cooperate in such a ven.
ture based on the principle OF re-
spect for the rights of all peaceful.
law-abiding nations. Hull Is pre-
pared to promise Americas partic-
ipation in a world security system
designed to restrain future agrees
sion by any state.
The secretary is understood to
be going to Moscow with the con-
viction that this meeting of Amer.
lean, British and Soviet Foreign
Ministers NAV prove to be the most
important diplomatic conference
since Versailles.
1t is considered highly probable
that the conference will determ.
inc to considerable extent wheth.
er Russia intends to cooperate with
the western democracies in the
postwar period or intends TO. play
a lone hand in world affairs.

Buffalo. oct. 7--INS-ln the
eighth annual convention OF the
IrAW-CIO the dispute over incen-
tive pay threatened today TO bios
som out as one OF the sharpest in.
ternecine fights in the history Of
that organization.
The 1000 delegates attending the
convention and even the officers
and members OF the international
Executive Board split over the
issue. And. as the gayel opened
the fourth days session. there was
little doubt that the arguments
would grow hotter as the floor d Do
bate continued.
Opponent attacked incentive pay
as a union busting" plan that
would prevent negotiation OF Indus
try.wide contracts. Defenders ar
gued that il was matter OF local
autonomy. also aided in the or
ganization OF the aircraft industry.
The delegates, on a special order
OF business. voted to postpone the
election OF officers, which had been
scheduled for today. until the con
troversial resolutions on incentive
pay. the fourth term, the little
steel formula and a labor's no

The fight over incentive pay
developed as a counterpart TO the

The bill was passed by the Sen

and a half OF debate. II was sub
stituted for the BIZ; by Sen. Burton
X. Wheeler, D., Mont, which ad-
ministration leaders said was
dead duck" with virtually no
chance OF revival in the House.
The Wheeler bill was rejected
as a menace to Allied strategy af-
Ter military leaders testified that
it would dangerously disrupt their

Wheeler refused to vote on the
final roll-call, having failed at
the last minute to amend the sub
stitute to halt the father-draft un-
til effects of the new bill on occu-
pational deferments could be de-
termined. The vote against that
amendment was as to &c.
