 Urge Salary Adjustment On Cost of Living Basis

The Palmer Teachers Associa- tion, comprised of the teachers on the Palmer school staff, went on record this week as protesting the $500 "across the board" raise for teachers throughout Alaska, which is to come before the terri torial legislature, Joe Hudock an- nounced this week. MT. Hudock is president of the Palmer Teach CTS Association.
 Over 400 letters were written by the Palmer teachers personal ly this week to the territorial leg islators and the territorial board of education, MT. Hudock said, in protest of the "across the board" raise.
 The teachers here emphasized that they are not protesting the raise in itself but they point out that a $500 raise for all teachers throughout the entire territory is not an equitable adjustment. They base their opinion on the cost of living in Alaska which becomes increas- inglY higher in the western and northern parts of the territory.
 Referring to a cost of living in dex as compared to Seattle, Mir Hudock quoted the following fig ures: Using Seattle as 100 per cent, the cost of living was found to be 130 percent in Juneau; An chorage 161 percent; Fairbanks and Nome 196 percent. The index was compiled by Dr. I. J. Mort gomery, director of the Merit System in Alaska, who made the survey last summer to provide the territorial Department of Labor with figures on the cost of living in Alaska. The survey was in no way connected with the present raise for teachers in the territory.
 We feel the raise is very
 adequate for teachers in the First Division. but not for those in the Second Third and Fourth Divisions where iv- ing costs are so much higher.
 MT. Hudock pointed out. Any
 adjustment of salary that does not allow for the higher living costs is not equitable. he added.
