ORGANIZED LABOR COMES TO AID OF TEACHERS Organized labor yesterday came to the aid 6f the Chicago school teachers when a committee from the Chicago Federation of Labor appeared before the finance committee of the school board and pleaded for a 20 per cent raise in salaries for the teachers. It was the first time in Chicago's history that union labor had taken up the fight of the teachers. And the members of the school board seemed quite shocked. When the report of the comingof the labor repfesehta tives reached the board rooms all but four of the 10 members of the finance committee fled. C. D. Wheeler, E. C. Dillon and Abraham Peterson, the grievance committee of the labor body, made the demand for a raise. Mrs. John MacMahon, Mrs. Gertrude Howe Britton, Charles S. Peterson and Wil liam Rothmann of the finance com mittee listened to them. The union, men said they repre sented 441 teachers out of 776 and 1 1 i- ll 1 T. ll. 1 1 tout iub Leumiei i iuey icpieseiutju -i want 20 per cent increase instead of the 10 per cent which the school board granted when increasing the school hours. The Chicago Federation of Labor recently protested against the 10 .per cent and went bn record as favoring 20 per cent. "We do not wish the members of the board to submit this question of increased pay for teachers for in creased work of one hour per d.ay to any outside organization," said E. C. Dillon. "We do not approve of the efficiency division of the city civil service. We have investigated it and found no use for it." "Organized labor stands to de crease working hours," said Abraham Peterson. "The teachers are bring ing this protest as working people. They work with their brain as hard as others do with their muscles. There is nothing to prevent the en gineers getting 20 per cent increase for their extra hour of work, and in event you must work the teachers another hour, then pay the union rate of one and one-half or double for overtime." The finance committee, or what was left of them, promised to con sider the demands. School teachers would not discuss the possibility of a strike. o o SUFFRAGETS GET IN WRONG London, March 18.
