The members of the Women's Single Tax League, at a meeting held yesterday afternoon, came to the conclusion, after an interesting discussion, that it was unpatriotic atid un American to exclude or restrict imm.gra tion. They argued if the immigrant was brave enough to sever ties of home and country and make his way to a foreign land, he was good enough to be admitted into this country and its institutions. The Single Tax I ers drew a deduc.ion from the fact that the i English convict became self respecting wh he was allowed to till the soil of Australia; I so would the immigrant become law ab di and industrious if the Single Tax system I prevailed.

December 14 The teachers of Queens borough are working zealously to secure the necessary legislation that will protect their interests in the future. The question of a uniform rate of pay for teachers is being agitated throughout the borough, and they demand that they should be paid at the same rate as other teachers throughout 'the greater city They claim that one consideration of a teacher's worth shall be the time of service, that is a fixed minimum salary that cannot be taken away by any reformer who may arise and declare that teachers ought to be paid less and be obliged to work harder. The teachers favor the Ahearn bill, which fixes the minimum pay of a teacher of public schools at $G00 a year. Eight hundred dollars a year is the lowest salary for a teacher who has been ten years in the service and $1,200 after fifteen years in service.

In this bill there is no discrimination in regard to I sex, lengtn of service Deing the only consid erar.ion.
