This Is Coal Week;
Order Now or You
Will Shiver Later
Consumers To Be Supplied
Under First Come,
First Served" Rule

National Coal Week" began yester-
DAY. The government is trying to get
everybody to order his next winters
coal, or as much of it as he is allowed
to have, by next Saturday.
This does not mean that the coal is
to be delivered by next Saturday. or
even the Saturday after-far from it.
Nobody knows just when it will be de-
livered. Hardly enough coal is coming
into New York to meet Immediate de-
mands, and the dealers have orders for
something like 10,O0o,000 tons that they
see no early prospect of filing.
Some time before the end of Sep
tember," fuel administration officials
say when asked when the storage coal
is to be delivered No coal dealer in
New York City is willing to guarantee
to fill all his orders by the end of
September.
so far as the people of New York
are concerned, fuel administration off
cials are willing to admit that the ap-
peal is hardly necessary. Ninety per
cent Of next winters storage coal has
been ordered. Not 20 per cent of it
has been delivered. This weeks cam
paign is directed against the 10 per
cent who have not ordered their winter
coal.
The main advantage in ordering
early, the administration points out, is
that when the coal does reach New
York in large quantities the orders
now on the dealers books will be filled
in the order of application. Each Gus
toner will get only two-thirds of his
winter supply, and the rest will be de-
lvered also in order of application,
after everybody has received his two
thirds supply.
That there is coal shortage now,
and that unless something unforeseen
happens there will be worse shortage
next winter, administration officials and
coal dealers freely admit. The prin-
ciple "First some, first served" is to be
applied in order to induce the public
to order early and let the government
know exactly what next winters re-
quirements are

Miss Morton tells the audience first
that every one wishes she would keep
still, but that she isn't going to and
then she goes ahead and proves it.
she sings THE Soul Of Pocahontas" in
costume composed of beads and
feathers, and later she plays the piano
and dances at the same time. This
pleased the audience nightly.
Burt Earle played the banjo and
three, charming young persons of the
female persuasion accompanied him on
the saXoDhone, the violin and the piano.
One Of them as Bee Earle. She looks
just like her brother.
In "The African Duke" Farrell Tav-
lor does a lot OF things and Beatrice
Diamond plays the saXophone. There
was a drawing room scene introduced ID

Electric Companies
Agree to Maintain
Seyen-Cen1t: Rate
Fixed Charge, However, To
Be Made for Mazda Lights
in Manhattan and Bronx

There will be no increase ir electric
i1eht rates in Manhattan and The Bronx
TOR the next six months at least. Rem
resentatlves Of the New York Edison
company and its allied concern, the
united Electric Light and Power Com
pany,, appeared before the Public Ser
wee Commission yesterday and an
nounced that the companies intended
TO MAINTAIN the present rate of seven
cents q kilowatt hour, despite the de-
creaslnS revenue because of war con-
ditions.
At the same time, however, the two
com panies, which for several years
nave made a practice of furnishing
their customers with tungsten (Mazda7
lamps on basis of charge of one
half cent month kilowatt hour of
current used, filed tariff sheets with
the commission showing that this prac-
'lce was to be discontinued on July
and minimum charge of 80 cents for
one size and more for other sizes made
for the lamps.
The rate was reduced last year by
ordef OF the commission from eight to
the privilege of appearing before the
commission with request to return
to the old rate if they could show that
conditions warranted it.
D; W. Lleb, vice president and gen.
eral manager of the companies. in max
ing the announcement declared that the
operating revenue of the companies had
decreased $941 ,654 during the first four
months of this year. as compared with
the same period in 1917. The OUTPUT
OF current sold for the same period
showed reduction of Ak per cent, he
said.
eve believe that these conditions
would justify. the company in going
back to the eight-cent rate" said Mr.
Lieb: cat the same time, it is not
absolutely certain that the decrease in
output will continue for the balance of
the year. The present situation is one
of extreme doubt and uncertainty. We
believe that probably the best solution
would be continuance of the present
arrangement with the commission
maintaining the status quo for another r
SIX months, say, and reserving such
rights as we have under the present
agreements"
The commission accepted the pro-
posal.

Financial and Educational
Officials Will Meet
Next Monday
Suggested by Mayor
Problem Is to Provide Funds
for Continuing Proposed
Increases

President Arthur s. Somer's request
Tor conference with the Board oi
Estimate regarding financing increased
salaries Tor teachers has been agreed
to at the suggestion of Mayor Hylan
and the meeting set for 3 O'Clock next
Monday afternoon
Representatives of the two boards
will attempt to agree on the funds
necessary to revise the salary sched
ules. The Board of Education has
funds available for an increase in the
salary minimum, but wants assurance
from the Board of Estimate for THEN
maintenance.
The proposal to establish a $1,000
minimum Tor teachers. instead of the
existing $500 minimum, has been
looked upon with favor by members
OF the board. The change would in
volve an annual outlay of S9O6OOO
! About 1000 teachers would profit b,
the increase
Such a change would. however, make
no provision for increased pay fo,
ABOUT l4,500 other teachers whose
years of service have gained annual in
crements which have advanced their
pay past $1,000.
IN their ranks some opposition has
developed to an advance in wages for
the younger teachers exclusively. Their
contention IS that most teachers who
nave tanghp- seven years continue in
the service of the Board of Education
ana tnat their experience should re-
celVe financial recognition. They point
to statistics in an effort to show that
the majority of teachers of less than
seven years experience will abandon
their calling no matter what the fnan-
clal inducements.
kather than an annual increase of
$2oo TOR teachers in their first three
years and other increases for those
pelow seven years of service. the older
teachers suggest more equitable dis
tribution of the available $9O6,OOO.
The committee of the Board of Edu-
cation which has been considering re-
vision of the salary schedules is still
dellberating apportioning the available
money equitably amoung the teachers
who need it most
Meeting as committee Of the whole
yesterday, the Board of Education
again passed over the matter of an ex-
ecutive manager. President Somers
said that probably no action would be
taken toward appointment of such an
officer to relieve the superintendent of
schools SO long as the legality of the
office was in doubt
Approval was withheld to the COM
munication from the board of superin-
tendents recommending the appoint
ment of Joseph K. Van Denberg as
principal of the Morris High School, in
