" TEACHERS INSIST ON 20 PER CENT INCREASE Th recommendation of th board of -duration to - the taxpayers that the ,'nalarlca ox pa bile school teachers b ! ncrJMl meets with the enthuilaatlc "approval of sit the. teachers, naturally. ;)ut there Is much dissatisfaction ' among noet of them as to the manner .ind details Of the raise.-.. $ Aerordinir to ths plan outlined by the ?mliool board, salaries UI b advanced ifrom I to IS per cent BuVlt Is th Mlthest paid teachers who will receive The bla- rercenta?e, while thoae who are tiow itfttlnir the bottom prto will have 'their pay Increased only slightly. , i The grade fear-hers, especially, feel f I (hi. nliruiM 1 1 i tt.l la lUlt nH).t lr tn theru, snd they have taken te non with a view to arttlns; the tax jyTyat the comfns" annual meeting-,, fxtJM2ndy enlngr. to glvs them. In stead of the graded Increase; a flat ln: crease of 20 per ent, as orlginaUy pro posed. . The teachers argue that "one of ths principal objects of ths school board in proposing the increase in salaries is to obtain a better class of teachers, on the ground that In school work as in other .lines first class workmen, cannot be obtained for second class wages.. ' Orads Wages To 2Low. But tW teachers say;- the greatest need f better material is not among high school teachers snd principals, but In tr.O grades, where salaries are small o9 a month and upward. They hold that the salaries of the higher paid In structor, although, less than they ought to be, are already high enough to In sure the school board getting capable men' and women, while not much can be expected for a wage that is barely enough to sustain life. Therefore, they think that if the higher paid teachers are to get a material Increase In their salaries, the lowest paid should be equally considered. One reason for the proposal of the school board to raise salaries is that the cost of living has materially ad vanced. But the teachers say that this is true as regards the grade teachers as- much as regards the high school teachers and principals, and therefore there is no reason to discriminate be tween them. If one class Is to be given a decidedly higher wage because liv ing Is higher, the other class should al8r rrofit by the board's consideration of this fact ,- There appears to be no concerted ac tion on the part- of the teachers as the result of ny meeting, for none has been held, so far as known, but a large number of them are asking . taxpayers to be present-at the annual meeting to vote for a flat rate pf increase In, sal aries of 29 per cent - ,w - Thhs move will be bhterly opposed, by some members of- the school board, es pecially . Chairman Wittenberg. . - lrfr. Wittenberg admits the teachers' conten tion that the raise should be on a flat scale, but he Is not In favor 'of giving them 20 per cent more than they now receive. He claims that an Increase of 10 per cent is enough and will hold out for that. For this reason he opposed the action ot the board In recommend ing the graduated Increase of from 8 to 25 per cent Malaxkex Denies It It was rumored that Attorney Dan Malarkey had been asked to be present at the school meeting and present the teachers' side of the matter. Mr. Ma larkey, hqwever, denies that he has been asked to do this. HI certainly should not be present at the meeting as an attorney In any case," he said' this morning. "But If I were going to be tn town. I should be glad to be there as a taxpayer and argue in favor -of a -flat Increase of 20 per cent for the teachers. I think they deserve It for there Is no doubt but thst school teachers, are -the most poorly paid peo ple trt the world In view of everything, and I think they are entitled to all the Increase we can afford to pay them. - Tnfortunately. I do not expect to tie 'in the-city Monday night, so I shsll be Unable to be present at the meeting." . An additional argument advanced by the school teachers. Is that the flat raise of, : A per cent asked for would iftt amount In the aggregate to much more than will the graduated raise of eight to 25 per cent The only material dif ference it would make would be to equalize the extra amount expended and divide It among the teachers In propor tion to the salaries they now receive. DEAF CHILDEEX . TO GIVE PROGRAM i . 4 The class of deaf children In the Haw thorne school, will give j. Christmas en tertainment tomorrow afternoon at - 1 o'clock. This is the first public ap pearance of the deaf class, which was only organised with the beginning of the present school year. There are eight children In the class and they hfv.,U " Progressed as to I be able to read the Hps and to apeak alm ple Pieces. t Mrs.- Florence Metcalf, ths teacher, witi direct the exercises, which will be followed by the stripping of a tree which she has prepsred for tbem. - Many will be interested In these ex rclses. and mothers of deaf children wh2i r ,not ' th hool should be particularly pleased to see what train ing under modern methods will accom plish for the unfortunate litti. rjm POLICE SURE (Conj tinued From Page One.) nobody" could find any ooal dust around It" Engineer Donlon says that he saw the mysterious "No. 2" wipe the black substance off his face with a handker chief, and that it came off easily, like theatrical makeup. Bon, the fireman, says It was not ths first trip back to uncouple the train that he fell and then slid down the em bankment and was - shot at In his confession, Burks saya such Was the case, Both say none ol the robbers said anything in a loud voice about "making a getaway quick." . ..- According to the trainmen, Burks' memory Is faulty or. he is misrepresent ing as to the Identity of the bandits who guarded the engineer and fireman la turn.,,; -. '. . -, ,. if. '.v.. ;,!.'; tatw BaUroadlng. - Especially the tall thin robber, ac cording to- them, betrayed by a number of expressions entire familiarity with railroad parlance. When the engineer under guard, was running the engine toward Portland he toid the bandits that he could not pass the board at Montavllla If It showt raa. "Have you a. meet order?" asked the thin robber. It was precisely the right expression for a railroad man to use.
