The story, cleaned up
A cleaned-up reading of the newspaper page: spelling and layout repaired, one story lifted off a crowded page. It follows the original closely but it is not a transcription. The original page is below; read it if a detail matters.
At a special meeting of the board of education yesterday afternoon, called to discuss the semi-monthly payment of school wages, as set forth in senate bill No. 100, introduced last week, a vigorous protest was made against the proposed law. Besides the school board members, the principals of the various schools were present, and all were emphatic in their denunciation of the bill. A resolution, condemning it, was made, and copies sent to the representatives in the legislature.
“All were emphatic in their denunciation of the bill.”
Educational labor conditions have been a point of civic friction for over a century. The tension between school boards, teachers, and state-level policy changes remains a recurring theme in Washington politics today.
