; Rational Commission Serves
Notice on Club and West
ern League to Boot.
I PEIV1LEGI IS THBEATE5ED
Cincinnati, Nov, 16. The National
Base Ball commission today not only
v dismissed the application of the Sioux
City club of the Western league for
a rehearing in the Kane case, but
j served notice on the Western league
; as well as upon the Sioux City club
- that "if the ward is not fully adjusted
t within five days after the promultra
tion of this finding, ' the National
; agreement privileges which the Sioux
I City club and the Western league
) have enjoyed will be no longer re
' spected.
1 During last September the commis
1 tion reversed a finding of the national
i boadr and allowed a claim by Player
; James Kane against the Sioux City
club for salary from May 9 to July
17, at the rate of $226 per month, less
a credit ot fis.
i Basis of Refusal.
i The ward against the Sioux City
sclub was predicated on that club a
- retusal to permit the player to join
", the' Wichita club unless under the
; terms of a gentlemen s agreement
which barred players released by one
. of the clubs in the league from sign
; ing with another club in this league
unless the. releasing club was paid
, the league's wsjver price of $400.
; The commission in the finding to
day. states that it is convinced, that

I a notification from the Western
; league s president that on October 3,
! that "the owners (Western leaiueV
(deny the existence of the so-called
; gentlemen s agreement and respect
? ive'v refuse to oav the claim."
The commision bases its oninion
Jon statement from President Zeh
(rung of the Western league, under
Mate of September, 16, in which the
i latter laid: "Regarding the legtsla
! tion in reg'd to the barring of play-

Seven Hundred '
Fifty Teachers Ask
For a Raise in Pay
(Ctlniia Iraaa Pm oaa.)
leave the matter to the good judgment
of the superintendent and members of
the Board of Education,"
"Is there any organization among
the teachers at this time?" was an
other question.
No, but we are all together. In this
matter of asking for aa increase," she
answered.
Teachers of the grade schools are
now receiving from $500 to $1,000 a
year, an increase of $60 a year being
allowed from the initial salary of
$500. Principals receive from $960 to
$2,000 a year, according to service and
sixe of school. Four principals are
receiving $2,000 a year and the aver
age is about $1,500 a year.
Others Have Been Raised.
At its last meetinsr the Bnarrl nf
Education increased the salary of su
pervisors from $1,550 a year to a
maximum of $1,800 a year after four
years of service. ' High school teach
ers auo were. given a raise to $1,500
year, with promotional maximum
of $1,800 a' year upon passing exam-
luauuna proviaea uy me ooara.
The budget approved bv the Board
of Education July 28, pi6, for the
next year contained an estimated al
lowance og $400,000 for teachers' sal
aries. Should the twentylfive in
crease requested be granted, it would
mean an additional amount of more
than $200,000 to the annual school dis
trict expenditures. This would mean
an additional levy of five mills.
This situation places the finance
committee ot the board in something
of delima. The prospective reduc
tion of revenues on account of cut
ting off saloon licenses brought the
committee face to fact with the stern
realities of the future and this gen
eral request for salary increase adds
another facet to the financial prob
lem ot tne scnooi directors.
' Most Increase Levy,
The next school levy waa fixed at
25 mills, which is the legal maximum.
The consensus of opinion among the
board members is that the whole sit
uation must be carefully analyzed in
committee of the whole and the leg
islature asked this winter tor paasage
of a bill which will increase the mill
levy maximum.
The maximum receipts for thia
school year already has been Axed
and cannot be changed. The saloon
license situation will create a deficit
of an amount according to number of
saloons which will be closed on Jan
uary I., .

England, who has marked nearly ev
