I Demand for a Living Wage Grows More Insistent and Turbulent ifONDON, June 4—Discontent is :, rife among the elementary school Lj teachers of England at the present tj time. As a matter of fact their posi- H tion is desperate. During the war it wa**known to be in drastic need 1 of reform but for reasons of pure patriotism the vast army of workers in the counbys*. national schools went on, conscious of injustice but willing to wait. It was the appalling shortage of teachers which drew the attention of the general public to the fact that ai! was not as it should be within ! the ranks of this hard-worked sec! tion of the community. In the month ! of March there were 2,000 vacancies m the elementary schools of London alon€ which would not be filled. The teachers now refuse to work any longer under existing conditions, and as in the past they have rained nothing by keeping quiet, they see now taehdvisabiKty of a change of tactics. In consequence, rowdyism is popular. The time is gon€ for talk Big to them of the dignity of their i profession. All the varous associations of elementary school teachers arc in revolt. Indignation meetings have been held. The offices of the Lon- I don County Council have been raid- ! ed by an angy mob which finally had j to be dispersed by a contingent of mounted police. Deputations have approached the London Educational Committee. The immediate future lies at their mercy and they havc put their case quite plainly. Either there muse be an instant revision of the existing salary scale or a call for a general | strke. As to the pay demanded, i tfiere is Jiot complete agreement j among teachers themselves. One j makes the stipulation that the mini- j mum pay for a male teacher shall be $1,250 per year, rising by annual increasements of $100 to  the women are raising their cry of "equai pay for equal work,*, though at the same time joining the men in the hostility against the present fewness of teachers' wages..
