AFL Secretary Treasurer George

that living costs have gone up 43.5

ClarkSburg. w. Va. - Local Union
No. 90 had Il very fine turnout at their
last meeting to discuss several resolu-
tiOns that were up for their final
reading. With Il few changes, all were
approved and ordered forwarded to
headquarters.
The shop committee reported that
the dispute regarding the girls in the
bisque warehouse has been settled and
the back money awarded the girls
would be paid next pay.
The girls in the decorating shop feel
an injustice imposed on them by be-
ing forced to work day wage, while
the printers are permitted Il piece work
basis. The shop committee has been
called in on the case and we hope ar
rangements can be made where the
girls will be permitted to work piece
work.
Activities of the Youth Center Move
ment in ClarkSburg were discussed
with the local urging all members to
support this endeavOr. Their fine work
has produced wonderful results and
should be continued,
Labor has united in .ClarkSburg to
investigate the labor records of the
Office seekers ut the coming election
TO those whose records are approved,
we lend our support. Every laboring
man and woman should exercise their
privilege and turnout at the polls on
election day.
Brothers Paul Scott and Ray Hood
are back at the bench after Il pro-
lOnged absence, due to illness.
There was quite a lengthy discus
sion on SilicoSis and the treatments
now available for sufferers of this
deadly menace. However, we are led
to believe that laws Of the State Com
pensation Board in West Virginia do
not cover these treatments.
With the warm weather now at
hand, once again we start making our
plans for vacation, hoping the War
Labor Board will see fit to grant us
a two-week paid vacation.-O.C. 80.

 Boards Report
 The boards report was aS follows,
 "i, That there has been Q ereat decrease in the number of students In our high schools during the past several years and the decrease VIII continue for several years.
 "a, Our average pupil load DOT teacher is almost the lowest ln tho public high schools in the State og Connecticut.
 "S. No teacher has hsen dismissed or has lost any time from her work although many clasSroomS have been closed.
 -4, The per capita cost per pupil has been increasing during tho past several years,
 "6. The salary schedule for women teachers in our high schools ooFli- puses very favorably with the sal- Nry schedule for teachers, n n as well as women, In the public high schools in other cities In the State of Connecticut as well as in all Of tho New England States,
 "6. There Is, however, c present need '1thin the Department Of Edu- cation for an upward adjustment of wages for certain employees where present wages are inadequate.
 ~, In Q short time all appolnt- ments in our grammar schools will be from graeuater of our Teachers colleges and q movement is already in prograss in many cities Co Hlvc those teachers salaries equal Co those received by High School teachers.
 "a, An increase in salaries to women teachers in our high schools may cause Q downward revision Of the entire salary schedule for atl teachers" ."
 The Joint Committee therefore concludes that the equalization pay change cannot be given precedence over other salary changes and that all must wait until such q time as the Department costs will permit of such adjustments,
 Miss Canty told the press after the meeting that the teachers arc still confident that ultimately tus- tlee will prevail" and that the wosn n. on teachers will get the same aal- aries AS men teachers.
