COMPANY FOR
WAR HANDICAP
Jesse Crawford Criticises
Utility for Not Installing
Automatic Switchboards.
AiklnC why th. telephone company
failed to Install up-to-dat? automatic
I ! v.itchboard?. In place of alleged oh
sol.te equipment, to m??t war n??d?,
Jesae Crawford, representing the
Federation of Cltlsen? Association?
before th? PnWlc Utilltle? Comml?
slon. yesterday received from T. P.
Sylvan th. reply that "engineer? of
tua company" thought the plan "lm
-.rsettcmble."
Polntlns out that the company was
asking authorisation to ?pend nearly
Si.ooo.ooo to house operators, Mr
Crawford ?aid thl? would not be
1.1 iifif If th. company had In
stalled automatic switchboarda. with
ott? operator handling aa many call?
In an hoar a? aura handled now by
on? operator In a day.
Newark, N. J., wa? mentioned aa
a city with practically a? many
phone? ?a Waahlnston ha?, but use?
th? automatic system.
Mr. Crawford ?aid the amortisa
tion of tha expense of installing new
switchboard? would take approxi
mately four year?, aa 25 per cent of
Ot? operating expenses probably
would be ?aved each year. He quoted
flj-ures from a Chicago telephone
hearing ?ome years ?go to bear out
hi? ?tatemen-.
It waa contended during the hearing
yesterday that privately owned utility
comparile? had "fallen down" through
out the country at th? vary time when
they were moat needed, and "when a
crisis approached, th. companies bad
not prepared to meet K."
During the morning session Attor
ney George E. Sullivan, representing
tit? Washington Bar Association, at
tacked the valuation of the telephone
property allowed by the Publie ! un
ties Commission two yeans ?go.
Commisaloner Brownlow called sir.
Sullivan to account, saying that If
any fact? were to be presented the
commission would be glad to near
them. Mr. Sullivan denied he had In
tended to reflect on the commission
and declared h? had ?aid nothing for
which to apologise.
Robert V. Mayre. general counsel
?or th. company, objected to the lan
guage of Mr. Sullivan. Commissioner
Brownlow then outlined the manner
In which the valuation proceedings
were conducted.
The hearing probably will clo?e thl?
morning following an examination 01

rerTreeehttng the Board of Trade.

ARGENTINA LENDS
j $40,000,000 TO 11. S.
|Trade Credit Arrangement Which
Will Save Americans Millions.
Argentina ha? arranged* for a credit
In favor of the United State? of WO.
000.O0O. It Is understood similar ar
rangement? will be made In favor ot
other alliea and that the ?um later
may he extended almost indefinitely.
On the present volume of trad? with
Argentine, th? arrangement will ?ave
to American merchant? almost 160,
000,000 a year In exchange. The value
of the dollar ha? fallen to at cents
In Bueno? Aires from a pre-war valu?
of ?07.
American business men owing Ar
gentin? merchant? can deposit the
amount of their accounts with the Ar
gentine Ambassador on the relative
gold value? of the two currende?, plus
a charge of S per cent? for shipping,
insurance and other charges. The Am
baaaador deposits the account with
the Federal Reserve Bank at New
York and the gold will not be shipped
until the peace treaty has been signed..
Completion of this agreement,
through Secretary McAdoo, the State
Department and Ambassador Romulo
8. Naon, marks a distinct concession
on the part of Argentina, whoa? mer
chant? were reaping heavy profit?. It
I? regarded a? an earnestness of Ar
gentina's sympathy with the I'nlted
State? In the war, despite her fail
ure to break with Germany.

GRADE SCHOOL
TEACHERS TO
FORM UNION
-
Will Meet at Central High
School Today to Perfect
Organization.
More than 800 grade ?chool teacher?
of Waahlngton schools yesterday re
ceived notices requesting them to at
tend a meeting thi? afternoon In Cen
tral High School, for the formation
of a Grade Teachers' union.
The object of the meeting is to ef
fect a temporary organi??tion, select
a committee on constitution and to
handle generally all preliminary or
ganizing work.
I. V. Lampson. national organiser
of the American Federation of Teach
er?, is handling details. He has dis
patched cards requesting the attend
ance of every grade school teacher in
Washington, with a statement of the
purpose of organization.
Had Alreatir Two , alena.
Tn the District there are already
two teachers' unions, the High School
Teachers' Union and the Grade
School Manual Training Teachers'
Union. These two"un!on* were form
ed with the approval of ?chool au
thorities.
Graded school teachers In the Dis
trict are at present without such
an organisation.
The meeting this afternoon is ex
pected to be attended by ?everal hun
dred teachers. Active. participation
in the meeting will be limited Ii
those who algnify their Intention of
becoming member?.
The High School Teacher?' Union
of thi? city is fostering the organ
I Iring of the grade union. Aftex.com
. plete organization, it is expected that
the local will affiliate with the Amer
ican Federation of Teachers, and
thus automatically with the Amer
ican Federation of Labor.
It is pointed out that It wa? largely
through the efforts of organised la
bor that the Increases in salaries
were granted by Congress laat year,
and it is thought that one of the
silent reasons of organizing grade
school teachers In Washington Is
that they may make, through their
union, a united request for what they
consijer fair wages.
