Accordingly the salary Increase measure was framed by the district attorney office upon that basis. APPLIES OJCIiY TO ItSt The proposed increase which approx imates $531,000, will, if approved, ap ply to the 1920 school year only. It Js not an annual increase, but will stand in the nature of a bonus to be given up to June 30. 1920. In other words, the effect of the increase, if approved on Saturday afternoon next, will be to in crease the payroll ef the Portland pub lic schools, so far as the salaries of the teachers are concerned, from $1,770, 725 to $3,301,726. This sum would not form the basis for the salary budget for the 1931 school year and if the teachers desired the same increase to be granted them for, that year they would be com pelled tol conduct another campaign and again secure" the approval of the voters. It is the contention of the Fortlat. I teachers Tfiat the salaries paid them are below the scale ef other employments, it being argued that a large percentage of them receive a dally wage less than that paid to common laborers at the present tune. The salary budget showing the total amount paid In salaries in 1917 amoun ted to fl.32f.lSS. This gave a general average salary to the men employed ef $1515 and to the women of $1106. During 1918 the total amount paid in salaries amounted to $1,(37,545, This gave a general average salary of- $1725 to the men and of $125$ to the women. BOUS ALLOWANCE SMALL During this year the minimum wage has been increased from $65 to $80 per month. This increase applied, however, to but a few teachers. The bulk of the teachers have been receiving the maxi mum salary allowed by the schedule fixed by law, which ranges from $1200 to $1300 per year up to $3500. Added to this schedule for the first months of the present calendar year Is the amounts voted as a bonus by a recent meeting ef the school board when it borrowed $100,000 for the purpose. This bonus amounts, in approximate figures, to about $3 per month to. each teacher. Some discussion has arisen as to the distribution of the increased amount. I should it be voted, partlcularlv aa to whether It would be spread out In a gen eral bonus increase of 30 per cent of the salaries now paid, or whether It would be apportioned so that those receiving J Biuanes wouja De given larger Increases than those now standing at the top of the salary list. The call for the election stipulated that the apportionment should be made "at the discretion of the board." The board has not officially expressed its intention In the matter, though It la understood that the unofficially ex pressed opinion of different members Is to the effect that some arrangement should be perfected which would give the lesser salary the biggest proportion ate bonus. TEACHERS' SALARY MEASURE TOPIC AT MANY MEETINGS A rally at Lincoln high school, an alumni dinner at the First Methodist church for the Willamette university and a community meeting at Kern school, to say nothing of innumerable luncheons, parent. teacher rallies and smaller gath erings, will be held today in behalf of the campaign for increase In teachers salaries, which will be voted on next Saturday. ' Babbl Jonah B. Wise will address the rally at Llneoln high school at 8 o'clock and President N. D. Saowalter of Washington State Normal school Cheney, Wash-, will speak at the Kern school, other important meetings to. night will be at Clinton Kelly, Highland. Woodstock, Glencoe, Sunny side and Ar leta schools. The sub-committee ef the committee of 100 will meet the main twwiv h.

Hoskins of i, MM . tne 4-lUsene Educa tional league, in cooperation with the labor organisations ef the city, in which it la found that teachers' salaries aione had no increase In 1917 and that all of the principal trades have been increased from 28 to 87 per cent. ,At present, there are 87 per cent of the teachers who are receiving j.g a ?f r,n 80 per cnt that are receiving 8i.l7, which IS not more than unskilled labor is receiving, although the teachers are obliged to devote six, years to prep aration for their work and to teach from lx to 10 years before they attain the poritlon where .they can command a salary of IUT per day.

It 'is significant that before they left Paria Sir William Wiseman on behalf ef Premier Lloyd George recommended that they should visit Bel fast. For the premier it is the crux of the situation. The delegates had in tended to go thither anyhow. On Fri day next representative Irishmen from all sections are invited to meet them in Dublin. It is unlikely that any Unionists will attend, but It is certain that prominent Nationalists who are not republicans or in sympathy with the Sinn Fein will take the opportunity to lay their views before the delegates. inrioarisTs abe wobbied Some of the importance attached to the visit is derived from the agitation into which it has thrown the Unionists who are indignant that these Irish Americans should have received assent of the British government to come to Ireland. Any attempt to abolish Brit ish government in Ireland, whether for a republic or any other form of popular self administration, is regarded by the Unionists as treason. They resent very bitterly any interference of the Irish in America with the status quo. They are not apprehensive of any possible recognition ef the Irish re public. They regard it as impossible that England even should consent to separation, but they fear that the pre. mler's assent to the presence in Ireland of these delegates points to his willing-. nesa to evolve some form of Irish self government. They look - upon the American visit as designed to lead up to a compromise. They are very nerv LAST TIMES M0RRIS0I EARLE WILLIAMS "The Gentleman of Qnafity" LOOK WHO'S HERE Starting Wednesday For Just Three Days Soldiers' Prize Dance Cotillion Hall Thursdjay, May 8th Soldiers in Uniform. Half Price ous about Premier Lioyd George ' and are calling on hie Unionist colleagues In the cabinet to restrain any movement by him in this direction. - FEAB FOB COMPROMISE However, the Sinn Feiners are .uite as uncompromising as the Unionists, They say that Ireland has declared for a republic and their demand ia for in ternational recognition ef the fact. Some of the newspaper supporters of the Sinn Fein fear that the American visit may lead to some modification of the -Sinn Fein position, but no Indication ef this ia given either Jn the pronouncements of De Valera or in 7 the attitude of the American delegates to treat him as the president of the republic. IRISH PRESS STIRRED . .TO IIQSTILE CRITICISM London, May a. (I. N. S.) A storm of criticism has been aroused In v the press by the visit of the Irish-American representatives- to Ireland and their: ac tivities in general, "The Unionists condemn the proposed conference of Premier Lloyd George with the Irish-American delegates to Paris which is regarded aa a, great po litical mistake," said a Dublin dispatch to the Telegraph today. "They are de manding the cancellation of the en gagement. Furthermore, they resent American Interference in the British in ternal policy, The Post comments In a hostile vein towards President Wilson, saying: lf President Wilson is behind this Intrigue against the- union of the United Kingdom, the American ambas sador should be Informed that the Brit ish win not tolerate Interference in their domestic affairs. If he is not behind It he should deny it." The Evening -News lauds Frank P. Walsh, one of the Irish-American rep resentatives, as a leader of national importance, declaring that England must face the Irish issue immediately.
