Salary increases denied the District public school teachers in the budget for the fiscal year of 1923 are pro- vided in a special wage schedule drafted by school authorities and |k adopted by the teachers'. council at a conference with the boatd of edu- | catlon last night at the Franklin School. Several minor amendments in the original scale as framed by school officials were made by the council, however, before it was for- mally proved. Opening the conference, Supt. Rallu assured the council delegates that the teachers are mnot likely to be included in the Lehlbach reclassifi cation bill, now pending in the House. He indicated that their exclusion is the reason for drawing up special legislation to obtain higher remu- neration. ‘Will Offter Future. Dr. Ballou pointed out that there 1s a strong movement throughout the United States for a _uniform pay scale for teachers, and that the pro- ! posed legislation is a step in that | direction. He emphasized that the TOMMY O’CONNOR, new schedule will offer a future to the teaching profession of \Vasmng-i ton and will place the local system | ninth from the top of a list of fifty principal cities in the country. | “If this scale is adopted by Con- | , “eight principal cities | ing more than W wo paying less. A mimeographed synopsis of the. proposed salary legislation, stripped of legal terms and verbiage, was pr sented to the teachers’ representatives and each item explained in detail b. Supt. Ballou. Subsequently, the coun- cil delegates discussed each provision in the schedule before adopting it. | At the conclusion of the conference, | which lasted nearly three and one- | half hours, the council adopted a, resolution urging the school board to take speedy action in presenting the new salary scale to Congress, with a | view to “avoiding any- embarrass- | ment” by the inclusion of the teach in_the reclassification legislation. ‘The principal amendment added to! the_ salary schedule was introduced by Howard P. Safford of the Columbia Junior High School. It provided that the proposed salary of junior high school principals in the pay scale drafted by school authorities be in- creased from a basic of $3,000 a year and a maximum of $3,500 to a basic| of $3,500 and a maximum of $4,000. !

OF NEAR EAST SUFFERING Commander J. J. Brokenshire Gives First-Hand Evidence of Needs at Rotary Club Meeting. First-hand _evidence of suffering being endured by thousands of Chris- tians and Jews in_the near east was presented to the Rotary Club at its meeting in the Willard Hotel today by Commander J. J. Brokenshire of the Chaplains’ Corps, U. 8. N. Not oniy are the people hungry, he sald, but they are also homeless, far from former homes, and loyal Armenians and Syrians, who, becauso of faithful service to the allied cause, have been martyred as have no other races on earth He continued in part: “America’s opportunity is over there, and the task was assigned to the Near East Relief, by act of Congress, to save the remnant races. The American flag is the one symbol of unselfish friendship and protection, and it is respected over the humanitarian in- iutltuuon of the N Zast Relief by the Turk and bo. viki, who have aided the Near Ea Relief in the *work and are now facilitating move- yment of supplies. But, the Near East | Relief treasury cannot meet the needs Iby 50 per cent unless American | citizens respond at once.

The commander was a member of Gen. Harbord's commission to the near east. Gen. Harbord will preside at the Keith meeting. Commander Brokenshire will speak again at the Church of the Covenant Sunday morning. classes, the first year of all teachers being probationary. The teacher re- ceiving an unsatisfactory ratingi will automatically lose longevity ificre- {ment. Upon being promoted from one class to another, a teacher is not to receive a lower salary in the higher jgroup. The bill is to provide for a separate board of examiners for the white and colored schools, the super- intendent of schools being the chair- man of each. Provides for Substitutes. Not less than four nor more than six members will constitute each of | the boards of examiners, of which the executive secretary for the board for white schools is to receive a salary ranging from $4,000 to $4,500. The assistant superintendent in 'charge of colored schools will act as secretary for the colored board. The salary legislation also provides for the appointment of substitute teachers. A provision for the crea- tion of a corps of trained substitute teachers was included in the school budget for the fiscal year of 1923, but was eliminated by either the Commissioners or the budget bureau. Annual increase in pay is not to be allowed the substitutes, and the school board is to fix the amount to be deducted from the salary of the absent teacher with which to pay the substitute. A brief special meeting of the school hoard was held preceding the conference with the teachers’ coun- cil, at which a proposal was made to merge the names of elglbles to class 6, group B, of high school teachers into the list of those who will quali- fy at an examination to be held Sat- urday.

By the Associated Press. 5 NEW YORK, December 14.—Alleg- ed despotism by the Plasterers’ Union and abuse of power enabling it “to string up the entire building indus- 'try of New York city by the neck” was attacked before the Lockwood legislative committee by Samuel Un- termyer, its counsel. Reading from the minutes of the union’s executive committee and ex- amining the recording secretary, Mr. Untermyer brought out the following practices: i Contractors were compelled to pay the union fines from $100 up for working the men overtime without permission of the executive commit- tee. Jewish, German and Italian mem- bers of the union were fined $19 each for working on St. Patrick’s day. A plasterer was debarred from his ce of employment for one year be- ause he “worked with tools” during !'the lunch hour. Another, charged with the same of- 1 fense, was let off with a reprimand, as he “made amends by quitting at 14:30 o'clock.” Overtime Pay for Delay. If contractors did not distribute all wages on pay day by five o'clock, they had to pay two hours’ overtime to each man who walted longer. Whether the delay was one minute or two hours, the full overtime penalty had to be paid. Union delegates ordered employers before the committee and they were fined. One employer had to pay his plasterers two hours’ overtime, or $2.38, because distribution of wages was not combleted until ten minutes after quitting time. One employer was fined $1,000 for allowing the men to work overtime on the half-hour system, and those who reported him were granted im- munity. The unlon divided work into two-hour intervals. The executive committee denied a request of two union men to work overtime on a building that was five months behind schedule in construc- tion. Several employers were fined $100 each for allowing overtime when both men and contractors had not ob- tained permission from the executive committee. Admit Abuse of Power. The owner of a building was fined $100 by the union for “damage to the trade,” consisting of allowing paint- ers who were painting over plaster work to fill in the cracks. Asked if he realized abuses of power were dis- crediting unions, one witness said, “Yes, sure.” One employer was fined $100 by “faking” work, which the witness ex- plained was substitution for tools “that should properly be used.” A plece of iron and wood was used in- stead of the regulation mold, and this “saved that much work,” the witness remarked.

By the Assoclated Press. GUATEMALA CITY, December 12. —Former President Carlos Herrera, in an interview today in which he denied charges of betrayal of the Guatemalan government, made by members of the unionist party de- scribed events immediately preceding the overthrow of his government on the night of December 5. He sald that shortly before the coup d'etat was launched he was at lis home dincuesing a rumored plot to overthrow the government with the ministers of war, foreign rela- tions and public welfare. The min- ister of war had just reported making his rounds of inspection of all the garrisons and forts, and then had de- parted to make a final inspection. Shortly after midnight, said Senor Herrera, the, silence was broken by a rumbling /hoise near the barracks of the guard of honor. A staff officer, Gen. Galves, went to investigate and did not return. Later a number of other officers, including Col. Flores, followed. Almost immediately there- after, he said, the discharge of a jcannon in front of the barracks was Leard. Military Commands Over. A few minutes later, after he had been left absolutely alone, Senor Her- | ¢ rera said, Col. Flores appeared with! an armed escort, notifying the presi- dent that the entire block was sur- rounded by troops, that resistance was useless and that all the military commands had gone over to the revo- lutionists. Minister of War Mendoza, appearing a little later, offered to resist, refus- ing to turn over his command with-| out a written order from the presi- dent. Senor Herrera said he declined this offer because he thought blood- shed was usele: Resignation Is Signed. At 2 o'clock in the morning, he said, Gens. Orellana, Lima and Larrave ap- peared, reporting that the country was on the verge of anarchy, neces- sitating an immediate resolution by the president changing his political policy. Senor Herrera said he request- ed the directors of the liberal party to appear before him, whereupon, in the presence of them all, he signed his resignation, directed to the “legisla- tive assembly.” OF GRAND ARMY, DIES l | ALFRED SHAW.

Officials of the Washington Termi- nal Company, which handles repair work for all lines running into Wash- ington, are working out a schedule for curtailment of shop forces here, but the extent of the curtailment not yet decided, it was learned today. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad's indefinite furlough of force, an- nounced in Baltimore last night, will be entirely independent from any local action and will have no spc- cific effect upon local conditions, of- ficials s: Washington, because of the termi company's shop not a site of a Baltimore and Ohio repair shop, although special equipment is operated in one of the roundhouses here for Baltimore and Ohio loco- motives. Situation Not Serious. Union leaders of employes of the shops said today that no serious situation was expected as a result of the reports of the furlough. It is expected by these labor officizls that they will not be of more than one or two weeks' duration, and that it is simply a holiday lay-off to enable the company to adjust its running ex- penses. At the Wa, nnounced th shington terminal it was at the result of confar- curtailment of force xpected in the near future. Approxima! 1,000 men are em- ployed in the shops here. It was stated today by officials that no or- ders had been received thus far to curtail repair work on Baltimore and Ohio rolling stock. —_— EXEMPTION UP TO BRITAIN French Journal’s Suggestion Discussing Reparations, PARIS, December 18.—The Temps, commenting on the payment of the installment due by Germany for the January and February reparations ac- count, says: “The day when Great Britaln re- nounces in favor of the devastated re- gions of France the 450,000,000 gold marks awarded by the convention of August 15 to the British troops of o cupation, then France could propose that Germany be exempted from money payments in 1922 in B e e ] T F&‘é&&%&‘#fi%&‘#flMSflL, BISHOP & TURNER, Inc. &&Kfifi%&‘é&%&%&fi If You— .
