Protest at Shipping
Continued from Page One)

err COAL 1t might be all right to ship
it here if there wasn't a serious short
age of cars"
Twenty-Five representatives of lead
ing textile interests of this state con-
ferred with Mr.. Storrow today and
as result committee which will in
clude in it's membership most of the
men present will go to Washington and
interview William G. McAdoo, drec-
tor general Of railroads. They will tel!
Mr.. McAdoo that the main reason for
scarcity Of coal in New England ap-
pears to be lack of transportation IA
cilities and that something should be
done to remedy this deficit. They will
also point out that they represent the
employers of some 100000 operatives
who are either now out of work or
threatened with a shut down of their
factories.
1t was announced tonight that AL
bert Greene Duncan of this city, treas
urer of the Harmony Mills, has been
added to Administrator Storrow's staff
as the representative of the textile in
terests.
The question of advancing the East
er vacation in colleges as fuel con-
servation measure was still unsettled
today. Mr.. Storrow, however, granted
a request for coal for Harvard Uni
versity and he also took steps to re-
lieve the shortage at Mt. Holyoke co.,
lege.
Warning Against over Optimism
Although coal has begun moving
more freely into New England. the fuel
authorities today sounded note of
warning against too panch optimism as
a result Of the breaking up of the
cold weather. An extension until next
Sunday OF the order, forbidding coal
deliveries to offices and stores was an
nounced by David A. Ellis, chairman
of the city fuel committee. Both Mr..
Storrow and Mr.. Ellis reported that
they had been unable to obtain the
1000 tons of coal considered necessary
to enable the Boston schools to begin
sessions under their proposed new con-
servation plans.

Woman's club, which was held Tues
day evening at Library hall, was one
of unusual interest. The program was
furnished by the Library department
and was one Of the best Of the season.
II was called a Russian evening ana
the program included Russian music
by the Foss Hall college orchestra, the
singing of the New Russian Hymn and
a Russian peasant dance by several
young women from Colby, besides a
very fine address by Mrs. George Bruce
Franklin on &C. '>erine Breshkovsky-
the Little Grandmother of Russia"
Mrs Franklin said in part:
"Epochs in history are brought
about by great leaders and often by
studying the life Of the leaders we are
able to get a. concrete understanding
OF the epoch. So it is with the Rus
sian revolution. We can see its rise.
its DEVELOPMENT and the great crisis
itself. by studying the life Of its hero
inc Catherine BreshkoVsky - the
Little Grandmother of Russia.
Mrs. Franklin told Of Catherine
childhood and how she hated the pomp
and glory of her fathers estate anu
preferred playing with the chlldreI "a
Of the peasants. She was educated III
a convent and later Joined a parry
called the Liberal Society. whose op-
iect was to better the conditions OF the
peasants.

came the Liberal Party and for her
connection with this party. Catherine
Breshkovsily was sent to Siberia where
she spent 80 years Of untold hardships
and cruelty and five years of hard Ia
Dor in the mines. She finished her
first term in Siberia with a strong
body and strong heart, although all the
women Who had been sentenced with
her had died from cruel treatment and
exposure.
A few wears ago. Catherine Bresh-
kovsky came to America and took back
with her $4,000 to continue her work
among the peasants. In three years she
was again arrested and sent to Siberia.
here she remained until March II,

She was made honorary chairman of
the Provisional Government. which
was in session few months ago. when
the Bolsheviki stormed the doors.
In closing, Mrs. Franklin said, "EX-
actly where she is we do not know, but
wherever she is we know that she is
working in her quiet but forceful way
for justice, for the education Of the
common people and the high ideals Of
tue democracy. We know, too, that
she hates Germany and Prussian aris

was, You can help us most by helping

since then Russia has gone out of the
war. and number of German divisions
had been brought to the western from,
from the east. The situation, had become
very much more menacing, and the Allies
had met at Versailles to consider the best
methods of meeting that menace.

German Agreement Violated
He declared that Germany's violation
OF her engagement not to remove troops
from the eastern front had to be borne

rangements should be made under
which the allies would treat their arm
as one to meet the danger and menace
wherever it could come.

remarks in which he declined TO d.
