ARGENTINA Lends
S4O,OOO,OOO TOU. S,
Trade Credit Arrangement Which
Will Save Americans Millions.

Argentina has arranged for a credit
in favor of the United States of s40.-
100000. II Is understood similar ar
rangements will be made in favor of
other allies and that the sum later
may be extended almost indefinitely.
On the present volume of trade with
Argentina this arrangement will save
to American merchants almost $50,-
100000 a year In exchange. The value
Of the dollar has fallen to SO cents
in Buenos Aires from a pre-war value
of SLOT.
American business men owing Ar
gentine merchants can deposit the
amount of their accounts with the Ar
gentine Ambassador ON the relative
gold values of the two, currencies, plus
a charge of per cent, for shipping.
insurance and other charges. The Am
bassador 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
s. Naon, marks a distinct concession
on the part of Argentina, whose mer-
chants were reaping heavy profits. 1t
is regarded as an earnestness of Ar
gentina's sympathy with the United
States in the war, despite her fail
ure to break with Germany.

COMPANY FOR
WAR HANDICAP
Jesse Crawford criticises
Utility for Not Installing
Automatic Switchboards.

Asking why the telephone company
failed to install up-to-date automatic
svsitchboards. In place of alleged OBJ
solete equipment, to meet war needs,
Jesse Crawford. representing the
Federation of Citizens Associations
before the Public Utilities Commits
sion,- yesterday received from T. p.
Sylvan the reply that engineers Of
the company thought the plan 'im-
practicable"
Pointing out that the company was
asking authorization to spend nearly
s., ,000,O to house operators, Mr..
Crawford said this would not be
necessary II the company had in
stalled automatic switchboards, with
one operator handling as many calls
in an hour as are handled now by
one operator In q day.
Newark, N. J., was mentioned as
a city with practically as many
phones as Washington has. but uses
the automatic system.
Mr.. Crawford said the amortiza-
ton Of the expense Of installing new
swftchboaris would take approx
mately four years, as Is per cent of
the operating expenses probably
would be saved each year. He quoted
figures from a Chicago telephone
hearing some years ago to bear out
his statement.
II was contended during the hearing
yesterday that privately owned utility
companies had fallen down. through
out the country at the very time when
they were most needed, and when a
crisis approached, the, companies hao
not prepared to meet It."
During the morning session Attor-
ney George E. Sullivan, representing
the Washington Bar Association, at
tackled the valuation of the telephone
property allowed by the Public Util1-
ties Commission two years ago.
Commissioner Brownlow called Mr..
Sullivan to account. saying that If
any facts 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 he had said nothing for
which to apologize.
Robert v. Mayre, general counsel
Cor the company, objected to the Ian
guage of Mr.. Sullivan. Commissioner
Brownlow then outlined the manner
in which the valuation proceedings
were conducted.
The hearing probably will close this
morning following an examination oil

GRADE SCHOOL
TEACHERS TO
FORM UNION
Will Meet at Central High
School Today to Perfect
Organization.

More than 800 grade school teachers
Of Washington schools yesterday re-
ceived notices requesting them to at
tend a meeting this afternoon in Cen
trail High School, for the formation
of a Grade Teachers union.
The object of the meeting is to ef-
feet a temporary organization, select
a committee on constitution and to
handle generally all preliminary or
ganizing work.
L. v. Lampson, national organizer
of the American Federation of Teach
ers, is handling details. He has dis
patched cards requesting the attend
ance of every grade school teacher in
Washington. with statement Of the
purpose of organization.
Had Already Two Unions.
In the District there are already
two teachers unions. the High School
Teachers Union and the Grade
School Manual Training Teachers
Union. These two unions were form
ed with the approval OF school au-
thorities.
Graded school teachers in the Dis
trict are at present without such
an organization.
The meeting this afternoon is ex-
pected to be attended by several hun
dred teachers. Active participation
in the meeting will be limited 10
those who signify their intention Of
becoming members.
The High School Teachers Union
OF this city is fostering the organ
izing Of the grade union. AfteS- 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.
1t is pointed out that 1t was largely
through the efforts of organized la
Dor that the increases in salaries
were granted by Congress last year,
and 1t is thought that one of the
silent reasons of organizing grade
school teachers in Washington Ia
that they may make. through their
union. united request for what they
consider fair wages.
