In April of this year, about 81 per

older group. Workers laid off or re-

Decline In Teacher Training
A drop of 81 per cent in enrollments ;
I'm teacher colleges during the last two
years was shown in II report prepared
by the NEA, which pointed out that
only 10000 teachers were graduated
this year as against the annual de,
mand for 10000 new teachers When
schools open in the fall there will be
in estimated shortage of $4,000
teachers.
Demand for teachers of secondary
school subjects is greatest, particularly
In sciences and mathematics. The need
for teachers in elementary schools is
especially acute in rural areas.
Replies to an inquiry sent to teacher
training institutions showed the great
est decrease in entrants in the Pacific
Mountain and West South Central
States. The drop in New England was
only II per cent.
High school enrolment over the
country has dropped 6 per cent since
Pearl HarbOr, the educators were told
and absences have increased. Adult
and vocational classes have also ShowI
losses. Entrance into the armed forces
and war industry were factors.
Studebaker Makes Appeal
John w. Studebaker, United States
Commissioner of Education, appealed
for financial assistance to permit con

schools could not do their part il

forced to go into other jobs to earn a
living.

Ship Workers Ask
9%o Wage Increase
CIO And AFL Spokesman
Tell WLB Cost Of Living
Curbs Have Fuiled

Washington, d. C.-John Green,
president of the Industrial Union of
Marine and Shipbuilding Workers of
America, CIO, asked the War Labor
Board to grant shipbuilders wage
rise commensurate with the cost of
living, an increase of 8 per cent above
the current highest minimum wage,
plus postwar payment of 5.S3 per
cent which the workers say they lost
in wages last year.
This wage case is the largest ever
presented to the War Labor Board, in
volving 100000 workers in 1873 yards,
and is spot-lighted by the fact that
shipbuilding is both critical and top
paying war industry
The unions demands reversed their
1912 amendments to 1911 agreements
of the Shipbuilding Stabilization Com
mittee abandoning automatic" wage
adjustments to cOst-Of-living in order
to help the President prevent imitation.
Union spokesman said such wage
increases would not have been fore
gone for the benefit of national war
economy without labOr's believing that
the cost of living would be controlled.
Criticizing Bureau of Labor Statistics
figures on the cost of living, they
quoted higher increases in commodity
prices in cities throughout the cOun-
try.
AFL Unions Join i'm Demand
John =. Frey, president of the AFL
Metal Trades Department, in testify
ing before the WLB suggested the
morale of the American worker suf-
fered as the Administration failed to
prevent "spiraling'' of the cost of liv-
ing and labor lost confidence in the
integrity of government promises.
Other AFL spokesman were Charles
j. McGOwan, vice president of the In
ternatiOnal Brotherhood of BOilermak-
ers, and A. l.. Wegener, assistant to
the president of the International
brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
The International Association of
MachinistS was represented by Har-
vey w. Brown, president, who said
the WLB in freezing wages, had sur
passed the stabilization work of other
government agencies.

Engel said that in.making study
of corporation returns ON market

earnings help to increase the market
value of the same stock in 1913. He
pointed out that the $3,OOO,OOO,OW

by these corporations in two years
was also figured into the cost of pro

said, had received machinery and
