mmmmmmmmmmmmmi when, he voted to stop the teachers from having a union. "Don't vote the ballots being sent out by the Tribune" is the word of Margaret Haley, business agent of the federation, to teachers. "Keep the ballot for future reference, bt don't vote. Remember what Mr. Dooley said, 'Let anny one vote, but let me count the ballots'." Some one in, the school board office has furnished the Tribune with a list of the substitute teachers. The fed eration is unable to learn by what authority the Trib got this for a mailing list Also it is news that the Trib is polling substitute teachers though" they are not eligible to mem bership in the Teachers' Federation. There's going to be a fine mess for Trustees Loeb and Rothman to straighten out when it comes to a strict working out of the rule they passed by a vote of 11 to 9 to kill the federation. Angus Roy Shannon, at torney for the board, has written out the kind of a blank form he thinks is meant by the Loeb rule. By the strict language of the Loeb resolu tion, it's what Shannon says the Loeb resolution means. It reads in part: "I am not and I will not become a member of any of the prohibited or ganizations." It looks as though Att'y Shannon takes the Loeb rule strictly to mean that teachers are shut out from join ing any teachers' organization with paid officials. This means the Fed eration of Women High School Teachers and the Federation of Men Teachers will have to be busted. No Chicago teacher could belong to the Illinois Teachers' ass'n nor to the Na tional Educational ass'n, all of which have paid officials and are exactly UKe tne umcago Teacners' Federa tion in every way except that the C. T. F. is tied up with the union la bor movement through membership in the American Federation of Labor. Trustees Loeb and Rothman both said the rule was aimed only at the i Teachers' Federation. It is believeC now that the rule is so absurdly word ed that it won't have any effect at alL As Att'y Shannon doped it out, Sup't Ella Flagg Young would be forced to resign from the N. E. A. and the whole mess gets wusser and wusser. Shannon is going ahead with draw ing bills for the suit next month to knock out school land appraisals, which he calls a "legal fraud." PUBLIC SERVICE CO. WANTS TO GET INTO CICERO Public Service Co. of Northern Illi nois, run by Sam Insull and the elec tric light trust of Chicago, wants to bust public ownership in Cicero. A franchise knocking out the sanitary district and installing the Insull serv ice is up for action by the Cicero council Monday night. Trustee Wyrz- " kowski at a meeting in the town hall last night challenged Trustee Rylands and it ended in a fist fight. Wyrzkow ski argued that in that string of sub urbs around Chicago where the Insull light trust controls has service and rates worse than where the sanitary district is on the job. o o SOPHIE WAS TOLD TO TAKE A RIDE TO MONTANA It's a long, long way to Butte, Mon tana, j J But Sophie is on her way. Sophie Davorak, 3133 Groveland av., was in morals court today, charged with being keeper of a dis orderly house.
