the war Is over. ! wuld rather be
here than in the states, anyway. 40
the war is over here and l can do my

pretty good country, but it has been
cold most OF the time since we arriy-

Y.M.C. A. Wants 1000
For Work Over There

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-John R.
Mott, international secretary of the
Young Mems Christian Association, who
has just returned from France, told
President Wilson to-day that while
some Of the organizations secretaries
in France have been killed and others
gassed during the recent fighting, the
work of caring for the American troops
Is being expanded and the association
Is taking over work with the French
and British troops. One-fourth of the
$3.50 American Y. M. c. A. workers in
France, the President was told, are now
within range of the German guns.
The American association, DR.. Mott
said, has been asked by the French
government to establish huts for the
French troops ut 5000 places as soon
AS possible. Work has been started
on the rebuilding of eighty-nine Brit
ish huts. Ninety three French foyers,
captured or destroyed by German shell
hre, are to be replaced by the Ameri-
cans.
In pointing out that by September it
viii be necessary to have 1000 Ameri-
can workers, of whom about one-fifth
Snould be women, for overseas duty
Dr. Mott declared Every community

New Rates for Export
And Import Freight

WASHINGTON, June 1s.~-New rates
on export and import freight on ba-
sis of something more than a 25 per
cent increase over existing rates were
ordered to-day by the railroad admin
'stration, to become effective next
July 25. This modifies the recent rate
order which cancelled existing export
and import tariffs and applied domcs-
tic rates to that traffic.
1t was found that domestic rates
applied to exports and imports in
many cases were unreasonably high.
Ii carried out the order would have
provided for many increases of 800 and
400 per cent.
After investigation the railroad ad-
ministration has drafted specific
scale of rates to apply on exports and
imports. Most of these are about 25
per cent more than present schedules,
although many run far above that.
Representatives of the railroad ad-
ministration, in conference this week
at Chicago with passenger traffic man.
ayers, will frame new regulations for
universal passenger mileage, good for
any line in the United States at the
three-cent standard rate.

Teachers Demand
Equal Pay First,
Increases Later
Resolution Urges Funds for
$1,000 Minimum Be Dis
tributed at Once

At q meeting yesterday called by the
Federation of Teachers Associations,
Incorporated, at the Girls High School,
at Nostrand Avenue and Halsey Street,
in Brooklyn, resolution favoring the
distribution of the funds now available
for the establishment Of a $1,000 mini
mum salary for teachers was adopted
by 2-to.1 vote.
Addresses favoring increased pay
through the establishment Of "true
equal pay" for teachers, irrespective Of
sex, were made by Charles A. Roselle,
Jr., president of the federation; Lillian
A. Hatch, secretary: Clara Calkins, of
and Frederick T. Lewis, president of
the Teachers Welfare League of
Brooklyn.
Discrimination Charged
The organizations represented by
speakers, with several others, consti-
tute the Federation Of Teachers Asso-
Charles Rozelle, Jr., and others in pro-
test against an organization of the
same name which they believe has not
been sufficiently democratic nor active
enough for increased pay.
Miss Clara Calkins, who has been
active in a campaign for equal pay for
the past eighteen years and who has
protested at Albany against the five
amendments to the so-called "equal
pay" bill passed in favor of men teach
ing in the public schools, prophesied
that because of their recent enfran-
chisement the discrimination against
women would be corrected by the Leg
islature of 1919.
Insist on Equal Pay
Owe women have our sphere" she
declared, (Which is any place we can
fill, and so long as we fill that place as
we'll as or better than men do we are 60
ing to be paid for it,"
She recommended that teachers re-
place their Red Gross and Liberty
Loan posters with window cards in
scribed, "Women teachers do not have
equal pay" Until the existing ine-
qualities due to sex are corrected, she
opposed any fiat increases for all
school teachers.

crease later" was the way she summed
up the attitude of most teachers.

Fund Asked to Train
Foreign Armies Here

WASHINGTON, June 18.--Congress
is to be asked by the War Department
for an appropriation to provide
training facilities in this country for
forces other than American troops.
This was learned authoritatively to-
day, but it was said that no definite
project has been discussed, nor has
the matter reached the point where
it has been the subject of diplomatic
communication.
The natural assumption is that any
troops to be trained here would come
from some one of the nations in the
Western Hemisphere who have joined
the countries at war with Germany.
While no arrangements have yet been
discussed looking to that end, the de-
partment feels that it would be wise
to have the funds on hand SO as to
be in position to act promptly should
another nation consent to the training
and equipping of it's forces in the
United States.
1t is reported that tho request for
the appropriation will be made before
the present session of Congress ends.

Many Reforms by
Federal Rule of
Eastern Roads
Regional Director Smiths
Report Shows Greatly
Increased Efficiency

WASHINGTON, June 18.-specihc
reforms effected on Eastern railroads
under pooling and common operation
made possible by government manage
ment were reviewed in q report from
A. IL. Smith, regional director for the
East. made public to-day by the Rail-
road Administration.
All lines have been regarded as a
unit, Mr.. Smith, explained, and the aid
which some have been able to give to
others under this plan has enabled the
railroads to clear up the congestion of
last winter and eliminate practically
all car shortage. Only in open-top cars
is there any dearth of supply now, he
said.
Concrete reform measures were
enumerated as follows:
ILLUMINATION of approximately 2.20O.-
900 miles per month of unessential pas
senger train mileage.
Assignment to Eastern roads Of 1872
locomotives constructed for the United
States military railways in France, 1876
locomotives constructed for the Rus
sian government and 118 locomotives
under order for the Southern and
Western roads.
Transfer Of power from one road
to another to relieve congestion or
shortage of power.
Diversion Of traffic to less con-
gested routes.
Common use Of terminal facilities
at large commercial centres.
Interchange of labor to eliminate
accumulations Of less than carload
freight.
classification of freight by the orig
mating railroads to permit trains to be
run through to Western terminals
without reswitching.
"Coordination of harbor facilities at
! New York.
Routing Of freight to tidewater via
the delivering line at destination, re-
sultlng in very great relief to the
! seaboard terminal facilities,
Diversion of traffic to roads with
most favorable grades, resulting in
saving Of engine efficiency.
Running of locomotives through
over more than one road in connection
with troops and freight movements to
save power and the delay to traffic"
Other improvements based on reports
on June were noted as follows:
con February / blast furnace pro-
duction was 81 per cent of capacity
and by-product coke 81 per cent. At that
time 113 out of 900 blast furnaces were
out of blast. At the present time the
blast furnace situation is practically
normal, there being no furnaces out Of
blast because of lack Of transportation.
"The movement of coal via the Great
Lakes is progressing satisfactorily
there being an increase Of 26 per cent
ill cars dumped in vessels SO far this
season. The ore movement from the
lakes is also ahead of last year to the
extent of per cent in cars shipped.
During the winter months steel tom
mage piled at the plants awaiting ship
ment continued to increase, and reached d
the peak about March i. at which time
there were approximately 100000 tons
awaiting movement. This tonnage has
been moved with the exception of about
100000 tons, which is held on account
] of embargo.
"On January 1 there were on hand at
North Atlantic ports approximately A.
600 cars of export freight in cars, on
piers and on the ground. This has been
reduced to approximately $4,000 cars"
