School Board Defended A resolution condemning the recent demand of a Chamber of Commerce subcommittee for the resignations of three members of the board of school commissioners, was passed. It was aimed especially at Zoercher, a member of the committee, as well as of the fax board. The resolution pointed out that Zoercher had a legal right to sit m judgment on the school hoard’s actions if ten /citizens should appeal from a decision of the board on Issuance of school bonds. “The central body strongly dissents from tiie proposal that regularly elected public officials may be forced to resign their positions at the behest of a non-official committee of private citizens simply because the official actions of said regularly elected officials may pot have met with the approval of said private citizens,” the resolution said. Zoercher’s actions were condemned- as “unethical and Indefensible.” If any resignation is demanded Governor McCray might well investigate “the unethical conduct of Mr. Zoercher. one of his official family, in thus criticising regularly elected school officials of Indianapolis and accordingly should .all for the resignation of Mr. Zoercher himself, 1 ,cause of his zeal in thus mixing 'uto mutters clearly outside his pro\lrce,” said the resolution. Confidence of the C. L. U. in the ohool hoard was reaffirmed and con t:nuance of its support and sympathy promised. The resolution against tpc two rep resi-ntatives was introduced by Delegate Robert Fox of the Plumbers. “Had these two representatives been true, although they were in the majority. they would have stood by organized labor." he declared. Seeks Suspension of Schwartz Delegate Nolting of the Electrlcions moved that Delegate- Schwartz, vice president of the <\ L. U.. be suspended.
