Musicians Union Avers Agreement Is Xear and Walkout 'ow Is Only Passive. TeleirraDhlc reports from Seattle stated that the local strike of mu sicians and motion picture operators against the theaters owned by the Jensen & Von Herberg interests were a bit prematura, according to a state ment Issued yesterday at the head quarters of the musicians' union. The strike was declared to be still ii effect, but with every possibility that it would be settled and called off within the next few days. The tele gram from E. E. Pettingill, president of the local union, was meant to con vey the information that good prog ress was being made in negotiations for a settlement, and that the local operators and musicians were to de clare an armistice. The Jensen & Von Herberg houses are stil "unfair," said strike leaders yesterday, although the unions were declared not to be prosecuting any active fight against the theaters.

BUDGET IS C0NSIDEREP . Director Shull Suggests Putting Teachers Upon Merit SystcnV for Advancement. Although teachers' and principals' salaries were scheduled to have played a prominent part in the adjourned meeting of the school board last night, called . to discuss the 1921 budget, the salary question was passed over and will be discussed later. Delegations from the grade teach ers' association and the principals' association attended the school board meeting. When the chairman asked if they cared to address the board, they said they had come to listen to the discussion on the salary question. After the meeting had been in progress for an hour and the various amounts in the budget discussed, the item of salaries was reached. Frank L. Shull, director, said he thought the directors should give more thought to the salary question and on his motion it was decided to dis cuss salaries later. A special meet ing will be called for this purpose soon. - As soon as the school board reached this decision, the teachers and prin cipals left. Money Hard to Provide. ' "I hope We can give as much to Increasing salaries as possible," said A C. Newill, director. "We all want to do that," said George B. Thomas, director, "but where are we going to get the money?" "You know' that as well as I do," replied Mr. Newill. "We'll Just have to take it from something else and by cutting down on some other items, we can probably add to the fund for salaries," said George M. Orton, chairman of the board. The schedule for salaries, submitted by R. H. Thomas, school clerk and business manager, is what is called the Seattle acheduta and provides for a total of $'2,604,150 for salaries of teachers, principals and special teach ers and supervisors. The board did not adopt the Seattle or any other schedule last night. A report advocating a different sys tem of advancing teachers was sub mitted by Mr. Shull. He thinks that teachers should be advanced for abil ity shown. "It is wrong to advance all on the basis of service alone," he said. Mr. Shull's report will be discussed at a later meeting. Insurance Is Discussed. The best system of insuring school buildings from fire came up in con nection with the budget. The board has an insurance fund of its own, but Mr. Shull said that he favored Insurance in old-line companies. "We have an Insurance fund of $150,000 and still we are not insured," said Director Thomas. "In case of a serious fire, we would be severely criticised." The board decided to increase the premiums of policies now being car ried from $2500, as provided in the budget, to $7500. All premiums are on three-year policies, one-third of the total sum expiring each year. Several items of expenditure in the proposed budget called forth com ment, but the majority were approved as a matter of form. - Barn Portables, Is SuBKestlon. When the item of $5000 for moving portable school buildings was reached. Mr. Orton said that he thought the next time any portables were moved, the best thing to do would be to set a match to them, since they had al ways been a source of added expense. The total estimated revenue pro vided in' the 1921 budget is $4,475,000. The budget must be published No vember 10, 16 and 20, according to law. The law requires the board to hold a meeting during the first week of December at which any taxpayer or citizen can discuss any item of the proposed budget. This meeting will probably be scheduled for December 1 at 10 A. M. The budget fills IS typewritten pages, single spaced. The budget is based largely on the cost per pupil in average daily at tendance in previous years. OREGON BISHOP NAMED Rt. Rev. VV: T. Sumner Secretary of Kowe Foundation Fund. The Rt. Rev. W. T.
