BINGHAMTON PRESS Head of City Union Favors National Effort The president of the Binghamton Federation of Teachers, AFL-CIO, today endorsed a nationwide movement by teachers to obtain the right to emply collective bargaining methods to settle salary and other isues. Mrs. Edna G. Hinds said she will discuss the movement with members of the Executive Council of the local federation later this week.

"There are no specific plans as to what we might do to help the movement along," S. Hinds said, "but assume that first of all we would have to get our legislators interested MRS. HINDS in passing laws which would permit such bargaining." All federation members will have a chance to vote on any program which the council may formulate, Mrs. Hinds pointed out. Impetus for the collective bargaining drive was given last week by several speakers the annual convention of the American Federation Teachers, AFL-CIO, in Pittsburgh.

Mrs. Hinds attended as delegate from the Binghamton Federation. Herrick S. Roth, vice-president of the national group, told the teachers they should be able to "bargain, not beg" and "sit as equals at the bargaining ta- ble." LISTS ADVANTAGES Mr. Roth described collective bargaining as "democracy tion.

It promotes group responsibility instead of individual favoritism; it broadens rather than narrows the basis of judgments; it breeds respect and good faith in place of servility; it enhances high morale and pride as opposed to smoldering and hidden dissatisfactions." Mrs. Hinds pointed out that a bill which would have given New York State teachers the right to bargain collectively was defeated in the Legislature this year. She predicted it will be introduced again. "We have been working for this idea for a long time," Mrs. Hinds said.

"There is no thought of a closed shop or a union shop for teachers no plan to adopt strike tactics. In fact, it has been suggested that a no-strike clause would be included in any bargaining agreement. PUBLIC RELATIONS is not something that will take place overnight," Mrs. Hinds pointed out. "Much education and public relations will be and we may be able to necessary, help along those lines.

And of course we can encourage our legislators to vote for laws which would permit bargaining." Mrs. Hinds said the national movement will be discussed at the convention of the federation state, Syracuse in October. The local federation will hear a report by Mrs. Hinds at a meetsometime in September. "The organized local in teachers' union number was of teachers represented by the union is not known.
