Teachers Pay

gerie, $35; hat, &c. gloves and
purse, SIT; four blouses, $40; and
one dress, $50. Total cost, $3.50.
It might be argued, she granted,
that one or more of these pur-
chases could be avoided. But
school teachers are veterans OF the
battle to keep up professional ap-
pearances, and it was the opinion
of most of them that Pedda Gogue
would just have to rob some other
item in the budget to buy the
clothing, One way or another, 1t
would have to come.
The other budget items were
smaller. Five dollars a month for
cleaning and laundry. A teacher
can do lot of her own laundry in
a single room. Dry cleaning is an
other matter. Allowance for doc
tors and dentists care; five dol
lars a month. The teachers hoped
that would be enough. To0thpaste,
tooth brushes, shampoo, cosmetics
and drugs were figured at seven
dollars and q half a month. Two
dollars and half a month for in
Surance.
Because a conscientious teacher
must read to do an adequate job
in the class room, the budget in
cluded an item of $3.50 a month to
cover the cost of professional mag
azines, periodicals and at least one
good news magazine.
Setting the figure for contribu-
tons and gifts at SIS a month, the
teachers were aware of the many
demands made upon them for sup
port of worthy community causes
During the year, they recalled
they contributed to the Red Cross
to the Community Chest, to the
March of Dimes, to the Cancer
Drive, to their churches. And
there are always the little un-
expected expenses at holiday
times-treats for the children and
the like.
A seemingly brighter note in the
budget appeared in the item for
savings. So month to 60 in the
bank. But that, said the teachers,
will be spent by Miss Pedda Gogue
for further education, because
CedCucr requirements III w dSuNlS.
ton demand that additional work
be taken every third year. And
So month for three years will
give Pedda enough to 60 to school.
Unfortunately, it doesn't leave any
savings for herself.
Nor for that matter did the bud
get make any allowance for rec
reation, for travel home and back
again at vacation times, for trips
to the beauty shop. It made no es-
innate of the three percent sales
tax that teachers must pay with
every purchase.
And that, say Kennewick school
teachers, is the reason why Miss
Undergraduate just isn't prepar-
ing to become Miss Pedda Gogue.
And it's the. reason, too, why with
frequency she is find
ing other ways to make a living.
Four years of life span and four
thousand dollars invested in teach
er training is too poorly reward
ed, says Pedda Gogue, by teach
er's budget.

A clear shellae makes o de-
5irable protective covering for a
recipe card 80 that IL can be wiped
with . damp cloth.
For an insurance against shine
on woolens, press - don't iron -
them. Rubbing an iron owe the
surface flattens the fibers thereby
producing the shine. An electric
ironer is perfect for q good end
speedy press job.
No need to break your neck
when you get up In pitch darkness
to tend TO the baby or put the cat
out. Simply have . small light
plugged into electrical outlets at
strategic points. There are sew
eral types Of these lights on the
market, each costing only about
&c to &c a month to operate.
Do you have the tray habit?"
Use a tray when setting or clear
ng the tables-it will save time,
steps and energy. And have a
stack of trays on hand for use at
buffet luncheons and Sunday night
suppers-saves wear on your fur
nishings and on the guests.
Has your brown sugar become
hard as a rock? Put it in a warm
oven for ten or fifteen minutes.
Or place a piece Of bread, a slice
of apple, or a section of lemon in
with 1.-THE results are amazing.
To clean wallpaper, wash with
clean soft cloth or sponge squeezed
out of warm water. Start from
bottom and work upward. Wash
small area at q time, rub as little
as possible, rinse immediately with
another soft cloth or sponge
squeezed out Of warm water.
10 clean non-washable waHpa-
per, brush as often as needed or
clean with dough-like wallpaper
cleaner.
Brush downward when busting
walls.
When washing walls, work up
ward to prevent dirty streaks
forming on wall below.
Clean painted walls with mild
suds or paint cleaners, rinsing i'm
m~ediately.
The experts say that linens
should be ironed at a high temper
ature. They should be quite wet,
for linen fiber is rather brittle
and evaporation is quick. Linens
should be ironed on the wrong side
to avoid shine. Damask table lin
ems, on which a high gloss is de-
sired, should be ironed on the
wrong side, then on the right.
No one likes fresh fruit that has
turned brown. Cut-up peaches and
pears will retain their good looks
without affecting taste If you
sugar them and squeeze some
.emon juice owe them. Dip cut
ipples into a strong solution of
alt and water to prevent discol-
ring.

Senate Unit Recesses
.CentraIia Mine Probe
To Hear Lewis Here
By fl. A.,oeies.d Press

CENTRALIA, H., April 5.-Three
Senators investigating the Centralia
coal mine disaster today recessed
hearings to Washington for testi-
mony there by John L. Lewis and
Secretary of the Interior Krug, and
one Senator said the group had been
shown that there was gross negli-
gence at the mine.
Senator Gordon, Republican, Of
Oregon, chairman OF the three
member Senate subcommittee, said
at one point during testimony today:
There Is one thing that has beer
shown to this committee, and that Il
that there has been gross negligence
in the handling Of safety factors.
He was speaking of the Centralis
Coal Co. No. 5 mine, where Ill
diggers perished March Is. He die
not elaborate.
Mr.. Lewis, president Of the United
Mine Workers union, and Secretary
Krug, whom Mr.. Lewis accused o1
responsibility for the blast through
negligence will testify next week
Visit by State Probers.
Meanwhile, members OF a State
legislative investigating committee
made a personal inspection OF the
mine.
Another complication in the coal
mine situation in Illinois developed
today when Hugh White, president
of the UMW's District IL, instructed
safety committees of the unions
locals in the State not to sign
safety certificates to be used as =
basis for re-opeping the 40 mines
which Secretary Krug closed for
noncompliance with Federal safety
regulations.
At the closing session of the
Senate hearing, here w. P. Young,
Chicago. vice president of the Gen.
tralia Coal Co., testified that work
to improve safety conditions in the
mine was under way when the
blast occurred.
Mr.. Young said york had begun
on an improved ventilation system,
and materials for sprinkler system
had been ordered. He said, also,
that the mine had been rock-dusted
periodically to allay coal dust In
the air.
Says He Didn't Get Reports.
Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat, of
Wyoming interjected that Federal
and State mine inspectors had re-
ported rock-dusting in the mine
inadequate and asked why Mr..
Young had not acted on the inspec-
Lion reports of March II and 20.
II didn't receive the reports until
after the explosion" Mr.. Young
said
w. j. johnson. Tuscola, ILL.,, gen.
eral superintendent of the mine
since October, 1916, told the SUBJ
committee he had ordered periodic
rock-dusting, and added: II con-
sidered the rock-dusting condition
of the mine fair. didn't feel there
was any imminent danger"
Senator Gordon asked: "Was it
not evident from the spreading of
the explosion that the mine was not
adequately rock dusted?"
Apparently so," Mr.. johnson re-
piled. "If I had considered the mine
hazardous, I would have stopped
production and busted right up to
the faces"
Evening star., 1947-04-06

the Mine Workers of the United
States. whose lives are endangered
I officially request that you order all
bituminous mines closed, except the
two that have been found safe; and
that they remain closed until re-
inspection has been made by ta)
Federal Mine Inspector, together
with certif1cation by him that they
are in conformity with the Federal
Mine Safety Code"
A spokesman for the department
said that so far as he knew about
$50 mines had been SO far certified
as safe, including a few on the
dangerous list.
The whole new dispute indicated
that cooperation between Mr.
Lewis union and Mr.. Krug's de-
partment in carrying out the mine
safety program was near the break
down point. When the Federal
Safety Code was formulated follow
ing signing of the Krug-Lewis
agreement both sides put great re-
lance in the mine safety commit
tees to carry out the program.
"At War" With Krug.
Mr.. Lewis told the House Com
mittee Thursday that ''Mr. Krug
and I have been at war" since the
court action was brought against
the mine union and boss before the
strike last fall.
Federal officials said a careful
check would be kept on the mines
tomorrow to see how many of the
certified" mines are operated. They
said, however. that absenteeism
runs high In the coal
fields Easter Monday.
An Interior Department spokes-
man, saying that the Bureau of
Mines only had a total of 121 In
spectors, estimated that months
would be required to reexamine the
2.529 mines as suggested by Mr..
Lewis. He said it would result in
great production losses.
The mines operated by the Gov
ernment under seizure produce more
than 80 per cent of the Nations
total soft coal output.

be reopened would include ones of
the 518 which the mine safety COM
mittee and operating manager
certify as safe and those of the
remaining 2,013 mines which the
operating manager alone declares
safe.
This safety program Gin the
Krug-Lewis agreement) cannot be
successful unless you promptly in
struct the union mine safety COM
mittees to Cooperate fully with. the
mine management and the Federal
inspectors" the mines administrator
concluded.
Reports from the coal fields have
indicated that the union safety
committees generally are refusing to
share in the responsibility for re-
opening mines on the Krug danger
list, although Mr.. Lewis fought for
years to have such committees with
power to close mines they held IN
safe.
In his surprise letter to Capt.
Collision, Mr.. Lewis pointed out first
that the mines administrator had
asked the union to submit the names
of any mines in addition to the 51S
ordered closed which it held to be
hazardous.
He then pointed out that r. r.
Sayers, director of the Federal Bu-
reau of Mines, had stated that only
two Of the several thousands mines
his inspectors examined up to
March IS were found free of all vio-
lations of the Federal Mine Safety
Code.
The United Mine Workers
assert" Mr.. Lewis wrote, that no
coal mine is safe, which is operat-
ingin violation of the code that the
Secretary of Interior has called a
reasonable code of standards and
rules pertaining to safety conditions
and practices in the coal mines of
the United States
Conforming to your request,
therefore, and acting in behalf of
