Educators Outline
Program 10 Meet
Teaching Crisis

The National Education Associa-
ton today recommended a FIVE
point program to meet a crisis
reflected by a Nationwide teacher
shortage and "tobogganing" normal
school enrolment.
Stating that the ''acute teacher
shortage of the war years is strech-
ing into the postwar period" NEA
laid the blame mainly on low sal
aries. The association said the
average teachers salary of $4,000
was less than half that of the aver
age professional Government en-
ploye.
The program. outlined in the
NEA bulletin, THE Public and Edu-
cation" advocated:
l. Immediate salary adjustments
for all teachers ito bring pay sched-
ules in line with other fields"
2. Stop-gap legislation to raise
teachers salaries for the 1918
school year.
3. Long-range school finance pro-
gramming ito assure good teachers
for all children in the future"
4. Cost-of- living adjustments for
teachers where reasonable" salaries
are already in effect.
S. Guaranteeing teachers protec-
ton from discrimination and unjust
dismissal"
To finance the program, NEA sug-
gested increasing local support of
education and extending Federal
financial participation in public
education 1t was also urged that
schools provide adequate stats and
equipment so that teachers can
teach children instead of being over
loaded with clerical duties"

Cotton Price Break
Blamed on Politics
Al Senate Hearinq
By J. A. O'Leory

Senator Thomas, Democrat, OF
Oklahoma told a Senate sub
committee today his constituents
think the recent break in prices
on the cotton exchange was
brought about for political pur-
poses.
IF my State goes Republican on
November it will be largely due to
this occurrence" Senator Thomas
declared, adding that OPA also has
been factor.
j. E. Macdonald, State commits
sioner of agriculture in Texas, also
testified the price break will have a
political effect in Texas and that it
will be disastrous to the administra-
ton in power that it allowed so I'M
justified thing to happen.
Control Is Studied.
Senator Thomas, who called the
= hearing to inquire into the price
break, revealed that the legislative
drafting service is making a study to
determine whether control over the
commodity exchanges should be
transferred from the Agriculture
Department to the Securities and
Exchange Commission, or left in
Agriculture with more definite con-
trolls.
Senator Thomas said he did not
mean to be critical of the Agricul-
ture Department, because he be-
lieves the facts will show it does
p not have enough authority to regu-
late the commodity exchanges.
Without mentioning names, Sem
ator Thomas said the newspapers
have given rise to belief that
one cotton operator had 10000
bales and that when the price be-
gan to break, the disposal of these
holdings was largely responsible for
the drop.
An Associated Press dispatch
from New Orleans yesterday identi-
fled Thomas L. Jordan as the oper-
ator whoAwas holding 10000 bales
when the market began to break.
Effect Called Decidedly Bad"
a, Chairman Thomas asked Mr..
macdonald, Jfle llTSI WITNESS, II lie
believed such an occurrence should
be possible
Mr.. Macdonald replied it is de
cidedly bad" for a man who does
not produce cotton to have such an
effect on the market price.
The witness said earlier that the
break on the exchange came just as
this years crop was being harvested
and caused cotton farmers to get
lower price.
Picturing this years United States
production of cotton as less than
the domestic demand, without al
lowing for exports, Mr.. Macdonald
blamed a report circulated last
January that the OPA planned to
put ceiling on 1916 cotton as caus-
ing the farmers to reduce their |
acreage.
Such reports that affect planting
ought to be put out with more eau
tion," the witness said.
