UNPAID CHICAGO TEACHERS TELL TRAGIC STORIES Privation, Despair Disclosed by Thousands, Without Money for Year. Mu 1 n’ted l'renn CHICAGO, March 18.—A dark story of privation, despair and tragedy was told today—the story of how Chicago's 14,000 teachers have lived for nearly a year on two and a half months’ pay. From questionnaires returned, thus far, by 5,000 teachers, was gleaned the picture of men and women carrying on to the breaking point under a burder of distress. The replies revealed a drop in the standard of living to the point where teachers no longer can buy good food, and are forced to go -without, medical or dental attention, despite serious need. Amusements, new clothes, books and periodicals of their profession have been forgotten in the struggle for mere existence. Loan Sharks Gather Harvest The figure of the loan shark stalks through the questionnaires as teachers reveal they have been forced to borrow at usury to buy every day necessities. Bank failures have heightened suffering. Report after report mentions lapsed insurance because there was no money for premiums. Eviction and foreclosure faces many. One instructor UJd how her daughter nad died due to lack of j a doctor. "I had nothing to pay him,” the woman wrote. ‘‘When the physician ! came, it was too late. He could do nothing.” A second teacher gave indication of the desperate remedies to which tne instructors have been forced, j Predict Closing of Schools “When my classes are over at 4 o'clock,” she wrote, "I go to a restaurant where I have a job as a ! cook until 2 a. m. I have to do ! this, as I am the only support of my blind mother.” Irvin A. Wilson, president of the ! Principals’ Club conducting the j survey, predicted the schools would ! be forced to close within a month. As the report was made, one more group of suburban schools was ordered closed for the duration of the year. The schools were those of Rosedale, an industrial suburb, where teachers have been unpaid since last November. PROGRAM ANNOUNCED FOR SUNRISE SERVICE Trumpet Will Sound Frolude to Ceremony on Monument Steps. Program for the tenth annual j sunrise Easter service of the Junior j Ogden Chorale, to be given on the J steps of the monument, Sunday, March 27, has been announced by the director, Mrs. James M.

CONGRESS WILL STUDY RAILWAY ‘PENSjON BILL' Hearings to Start in April on Measure to Provide Annuities to Workers. By Bcrippt-Hotcard Xei enpaper Alliance WASHINGTON, March 18.—Hearings will be held early in April on Senator Robert F. Wagner’s bill providing for the payment of retirement insurance and disability benefits to railway employes, affecting 1,500,000 workers. Wagner is chairman of the special subcommittee of the senate interstate commerce committee to conduct the hearings. Other members are Brookhart <Rep., la.), Glenn <Rep., 111.), Hastings, (Rep., Del.) and Wheeler (Dem., Mont.). The bill provides for creation of a. retirement and disability insurance fund out of equal contributions by the carriers and their employes. The government would not share in the cost. Out of this fund built up by contributions of the railways and employes a retired railway worker would be given an annuity equal to 2 per cent of his average annual compensation multiplied by the years of his contributory service. Thus a worker who over twenty years earned an average of $2,500 a year and contributed his 2 per cent would be entitled to SI,OOO annually. For the older railway employes now in service the bill provides the establishment of a “prior service pension fund,” out of which an additional pension can be paid in case his years of “contributory service” prove insufficient to provide a living income.

Love by Code Initialed Endearments Are Mystery in $50,000 Heart Balm Suit. .

By United Preen CHICAGO, March 18.—The education of a judge and jury in such mystifying terms as ..B. G.“B. G. W.” and “D. D.” was expected to proceed today in the $50,000 alienation of affections suit of Robert Steven against Warren R. Davies. The enigmatic characters appeared in letters which Steven charged Davies wrote the then Mrs. Steven. Amazement, blushes and titters came from the courtroom on the reading of such phrases as: “My Darling, My Sweet B. G.” “I can hardly wait until the day when you can be my own B. G. W. “I’ll never forget the wonderful feeling of my B. G.'s arms around her D. D.’s neck.” Another complication of the case was the fact Mrs. Steven, about whom the suit revolves, now is married to neither of the men. She divorced her husband, married Davies and then divorced him in turn. BEAR KILLED BY COP ‘Tunney,’ the Victim, Wasn’t Very Friendly, So Stroll Ends in Disaster.

WOMEN DENIED BALLOT By United Preen PARIS. March 18.—French suffrages, who shouted “women pay taxes and should be allowed to vote,” lost their fight today. The chamber of deputies, after an all-night session, approved the electoral reform law as returned by the senate, without extending women the franchise.
