Ships.

Chairman Hurley Of the shipping
board. speaking for the board, yester-
day told the House committee on rules
The board would welcome An investiga-
ton Of its activities by the House The
committee has under consideration a
tesOlntion proposing an inquisition.
Why not order one? Not in the spirit
u an acceptance of the criticisms that
fave been ieveied at the board, but for
ksssoie purpose Of giving to the public
&s details of the boards record. There
y no subject more Interesting.
q was apparent at the very beginning
sef our war engagements that ships would
play q large part In our program. We
had very few. We should need very
nlany. Az we could not hope to buy, we
should have to build. And to build in
tms would require all the hustle there
t1ssin us.

st occupation oa time during tie Hye
days and the h.ilfdAy Mondays. They
cannot do this IN the street railways q
washington are compelled to maintain
q Sunday schedu le on the ten Mondays.
They must operate, as usual, on those
days or thousands Of government clerks
win be tardy an1t some will be prevented
from reaching their Offices. The Sum
day car schedule in Washington is ap-
proximately ones-half Of that ON week
days. The week day schedule is already
inadequate for the proper carriage Of
the people, and conditions on the holi-
day Mondays, if the present order
stands, will be little short of chaotic.
Consideration Of the governments own
needs would seem to compel the e1emp-
ton from the Sunday schedule rule of the
street railways that virtually feed the
government offices.

The Alley Law.

Postponement of the alley dwelling
law, which, if unamended, is to take eff
feet July 1 next, has been recommended
by the Emergency Housing Association,
itself at first unfriendfy to any post
ponement, and now by the Board Of
Trade committee on streets and avenues
1t is obvious that little can be done be-
tween now and July 1 to provide sub
stitute dwellings for those in the alleys
that will be condemned under the new
statute. Some of these houses may, per-
haps, be replaced elsewhere, but i'll
present conditions, with labor and ma
terials scarce and expensive, and the
local business situation rendered uncer-
tain by war, a large construction enter
prise to house the present alley dwellers
is out OF the question. Postponement
would seem to be inevitable. The only
issue is virtually as to the terms of post
ponement, how long the law is to be
suspended, and what arrangements can
be made, if any, in the statute itself
for the aid of enterprises to provide
houses for those now dwelling in the
alleys, If postponement is agreed upon
as inevitable there is time between now
and the 1st of July for a careful con.
sideration of these points, so that the
new legislation, susrending the opera
ton of the alley law, may be satisfac-
tory and comprehensive. Whatever is
done, care should be taken to insure the
ultimate clearing of the alleys.

School Teachers and the Draft.


President Wilson's action in calling
on the public school teachers through
ont the country to aid the local exemr-
ton boards in classifying the regis
trants under the selective draft law
sets an army Of skilled people to work.
The teachers of the country are accus-
toned to handling papers and classify
ing, and they will render most efficient
service in this business of grouping the
registrants. The task is an immense
one, virtually a census Of 100000 of
the American men, and it must be care
fully and thoroughly done. With sew
eral hundred thousand teachers engaged
on it in all parts Of the country the
work will be expedited. No better se.
lection of assistants to the draft boards
could have been made.
