City, made n brief statement tndnv condemning the passage of the nnM elition bill. He 'aid "It Is just ihl kind nf Wlnlation 'hat breeds the spirit of resentment. It was all right during the war.

Maurer. president of the Pennsjlvania Ptate Federation of Labor, today authorized the statement that bis organisation Mill immediately Uke the bill into court In an effort to prove that It violates the bnsli rights of cltliens Th bill wis pjsh'd through the House last night, ajid within fifteen minutes had passed first rending in the Ronatc. Mr. Maurer snid today he thought there was no doubt that it would be passed by the upper body Governor Sproul has led In the ugitn tlon for the passage of the bill, and it Is considered certain that ho will sign it. Gompers at Shore It Is believed unlikely that Samuel Gompers, president oC the morican Federation of Labor will com to llar rlsburg t oppose the bill Mr Oompeis ix at tlnntic City winding tip the convention affairs of the A. F. of L , and could not easih come to Harrlsburg nt this time "It would be useless anyhow. T am afraid, ' said Mr Maurer todav, dis cussing the possibility of Mr. Gompers making the trip in a last attempt to defeat the bill. "Under the rules of the Legislature he would not be permitted to speak, unless the legislative body went into committee of the whole for the eipress purpose of hearing him and this is un likely." Mr. Maurer condemned the nnti-sedi-tlon bill In strdng terms. He also charged that the administration 'lias lobbied constantly during the last week for the passage of the measure, and that the efforts of Governor Sproul and his cabinet had been backed up bv the manufacturing Interests of the state Expects It to Pass "I believo the bill in going through said Mr. Maurer "The oiiesrion now is how to make a test case of it am convinced that the bill Is uncon stltutional. I believe it is defective ! technically; likewise 1 believe it is un- constitutional because it violates the in- oertnt rights of free, speech and a free press. If the bill is passed it will be sedition to criticise the acts of public officials, because such criticism will hold them up to contempt.

Labor's fight on the anti seditioo bill. which began ln the Houte Inst night. continued until this morning when the administration forces succeeded in put -ting the bill turongh the House finnlly by a vote of 107 fur and 82 against. It was the most memorable battle of the session. At on" period of the bitter debate the House thieatened to dissolve into a riot.

HIT AT WOODWARD BIL1 Board of Education members believe) teachers salary increases will absorbl most of the extra revenue from an ln- creased school tax and leave little of! nothing for the ?4,000,000 school build ing program. Governor Sproul yesterday approved! a school levy bill which will Increase! this city's school tax next year fromfl six to seven mills. This increase, tit is estimated will yield $1,020,000 addi tional revenue. But the Woodruff teachers' salaf bill provides an increase of 25 per centl In the "compensation" paid teachers, i-arr, ot this IS to be borne by the state. "The Woodruff teachers' salary bill," said Hlmon Gratz. n board member, to day, "will take virtually all the fuad occrulng from the cxtrn tax levy to naV the Board of Education's share of tha salary increase. No Increase Until 11)20 "We will get no tax Increase unt 1020 and then the six-mill tax Is in creased only to seven mills. The clgh mills provided ns the maximum Is no to be levied until 1021. "On the seven -mill basis we wfflj get about .$1,700,000 In 1020, and itl will take almost all of that amount to meet the Increase In teachers' salaries We also will have to pay our share of the state retirement fund, which goes Into effect this year, nnd when we have met these demands there will be nothing left for new buildings or the repair ot old ones. We will have to look Borne- where else for money for that purpose. "Compensation" Puztles School officials say the situation, to! a great extent, depends on the word "compensation" in the Woodruff MIL This is taken to include not only the; salary, but the bonus paid to teachers! It is pointed out thnt high schooH principals, under the salary bill in in niesent shape will receive more than associate niiieiintendents of schools.! Many principals now receive $4."00 al year, the same salary pnid associate superintendents. With the 10 per cent increase which the principals claln under the salan bill, they will get $450 more than the nsbociatc superintendents.!
