tiqns at
may not
or membership privileges of the
Nebraska State Teachers' associa
tion, according to a decision
reached by Judge A. .A. Welsh, in
district court at a hearing in cham
bers in Wayne today.
The prosecution, Instituted by
Supt. J. A. True of McCook, con
tended that the executive committee
expected to divide the association
in disregard of the constitution,
which requires at conventions the
membership to be of the association
as a whole.
Prof. F. M. Gregg of Peru, presi
dent of the association, and Prof. A.
V. Teed of Wayne State normal,
declared their action was not un
constitutional, inasmuch as recog
nition of the Hastings and Alliance
groups as auxiliary sections of the
state organization did not violate
the fundamental purpose of the con
stitution. They stressed the fact
that the annual convention is at
tended mainly by teachers of the
eastern one-third of the state.
The officers, they stated, acted in
the interests of the teachers at large.
Attorney A. R. Davis of Wayne
represented the defense, and At
torney Wertz of Schuyler the prose
cution. Despite sustaining of the injunc
tion against the executive commit
tee, meetings at Alliance and Has
tings, will be held in accordance with
present plans, which action will re
sult in divided rather than united
asociations in Nebraska.

war of conquest

tionists. Russia and Roumania have
been forced to sign a peace of force.
The peoples which were to be freed
have been enslaved and exploited.
"The government thus far has not
proclaimed the right of Belgium to
independence, and political, military
and economic integrity. '
: "The war goes on and the end is
not in sight. Profiteering and lust
of conquest are holding nauseating
orgies, while the people are suffer
