TO BOYCOTT meet
Division President
Will Not Attend State
Wide Wage Meeting

RALEIGH, Dec. 15.-(P-Mozel-
lie Causey, president of the depart
ment of classroom teachers of the
North Carolina Education associa.
ton, said Sunday night that her
department would have "nothing
whatever to do" with a state
wide meeting of classroom teach
ers which has been called here
Saturday afternoon.
The meeting was scheduled by .
delegation of teachers supporting
the so-called South Piedmont plan
for teacher pay, after the groups
request that the executive council
OF the department of classroom
teachers call such a meeting was
rejected.
Margery Alexander, primary
teacher in the Charlotte city
schools, led the SO teachers who
appeared before the council to re-
quest the session. Miss Alexander
stated that her group wanted the
meeting called in order to "con-
slider plans for the promotion of
the South Piedmont salary sched-
ule."
Plans Boycott
I'D not expect an invitation to-
the meetings." Miss Causey said
Sunday night. She stated that Miss
Alexander had not informed her of
the plans to override the council
and call the statewide meeting,
and that she had learned from
other sources that the meeting
would be held. "My department
will make no plans for this meet
ing, and will have nothing to do
with it," she said.
= There are 5000 teachers in the
department Of classroom teachers.
The decision to call the states
teachers together to consider the
salary question was made at a
hastily called meeting held short
ly after the council announced it
saw no reason to call such a meet
ing.
Miss Alexander said that "all
teachers, whether members Of
organized classroom groups or not,
are urged to attend this meeting"
The 50 teachers who voted to
call the session independently Of
the NCEA department are mostly
from the South Piedmont district,
scene Of the greatest opposition to
the NCEA teacher salary pro-
gram. Several however, are from
Eastern Carolina.

If you're using sweet lard OF
other soft fats, the temperature
of the fat should be 80 to IS de.

For lard and tallow mixture,
where half and half is used, the

the I've solution used with this
should register 80 to IS on your

Now for those using all tallow,
the heat OF the Eat should be 100

show a temperature of from 90

the proper temperature FOR the. fat

THREAT OF MEAT
STRIKE NOW OVER
Unions Sign Agreements
With Three OF Big Four
Packers; Armour Next

CHICAGO, Dec. IS W.D -
Spokesman for the nations pack
inghouse workers said Sunday that
the threat OF an industrywide meat
strike was over.
Both the CLIO United Packing
house workers and the ALL Anal
gamated Meat Cutters and Butcher
workmen have reached agreements
with most of the major packers
providing for a general 7 f-2-cent
hourly wage increase and other
benefits giving total increases ran
ing from 1914 cents an hour to II
cents.
Other packers we're expected to
follow this general pattern.
A spokesman for the CLIO union
was ready to tear up its strike
authorization, granted by union
members when the wage discus
sions begged down last month.
The CIO has signed contracts
with Cudahy and Wilson. An agree
ment with Swift, the nations larg-
est clearinghouse, has been sub
mitted to the unions members Cor
approval.
Negotiations with Armour, the
other big Four" concern, sched-
uled to begin Monday, present the
only possible stumbling block for
the CLIO union. A union spokes-
man said there was no reason to
believe Armour would not "go
along with the others" In the
event Of d%issension, however, a
strike probably would involve only
that company, he indicated.
The ALL union set the pattern
with the 7 10 cent increase when
it signed a contract with Swift
Dec. 8. The union also has reach
ed agreements with a number Of
smaller packers and expects to
sign contracts soon with the larger
concerns.
