Have Two Alternatives.

The superintendent pointed out today
that the school officials Of Washington
have two alternatives. They must either
ask Congress for more temporary port
able buildings or adopt some plan of
shifting classes to mako more room un-
til additional permanent buildings can
be erected.
Mr.. Thurston said he did not expect
to be able to have definite recommenda-
tions in shape for submission to the
board Of education Wednesday. The
superintendent is planning another trip
of inspection to the schools of several
northern cities, but 1t is not unlikely
that he will make some recommenda-
tions for relieving conditions in the
grade schools before going away again.
Mr.. Thurston said he inspected junior
high schools on his trip, but probably
will not go into this phase of the school
problem until the more important prob
lem Of improving the situation in the
grade schools has been disposed of.

v. R. {. ZONE PLAN
MAY Be DROPPED
iIe-Rate System Considered
by !. C.. c. Section for
Lines in Maryland.

Possibility that zone rates of fare
on the Maryland lines of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Com
pany may be supplanted by a system
of mile rates was developed today
when the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, fifteenth section. now con-
sidering the company's petition for
permission to file new and increased
tariffs on its suburban lines, asked
the company for additional informa-
ton as to the. various lines, zone
lengths. volume of traffic. etc.
The company is seeking to increase
passenger rates on it's Maryland lines
from cents fiat per zone, cash fare,
10 a cash fare of cents per zone fiat.
Commission Asks Information.
To enable it to make a more COM
plete investigation of the case the
commission has asked the company to
place before it maps of the companys
system. showing transfer and cross
ing points. the zone system in Mary
land and traffic Information. Testi-
mony was heard by residents of
maryland at the hearing on the petit
ton last Monday before the fifteenth
section board of the commission that
ehe SoHipdHy charges the same rates
to passengers from the District line
to Hyattsville as it charges passen-
gers from the District line to the
northern limit of the zone near Col
lege Park. more than a mile distant.
witnesses pointed out that a rate Of
iare pased on fiat rate per mile in
Maryland would be more accepta bIe
than the zone system.
This is held to be almost identical

sponded.
Certainly. that is what we've been
after" Penna answered.
Questions Miners.

Now what about the miners? the
Secretary said, turning to the center
Of the hall, where their delegates were
seated.
"The miners have announced from
the housetops their willingness to
negotiate without reservation" Pres
ident Lewis said, taking the floor.
Again we agree to go forward on
the plans laid for us by some one else.
We accept your proposition. But in
of receding. We now look for some
consideration for the 472.000 human
souls that asked for bread and got
a stone. We've been told of the busi-
ness necessities and the property
rights and the requirements of own
ers of industry, and we want to get
now into some court that will give
some attention to the human rights
involved in the demand for shorter
hours. more pay and better working
conditions. We agree in the hope
that this Is the way to such a tribu-
nal.
Quotes Government Statements.
Now I want to talk about some
th1ng else, and that is the statements
OF the high officers of this govern
ment. who have said they would not
hesitate to enforce the law against
others after enforcing it against men
working in mines.
Il want to call your attention as a
sepresentative M sentative OF this government,
Mr. Secretary. to violations of the
law by the operators and then see If
yoY will enforce it,"
He read telegram from Birming-
ham, Ala, mine workers, which said: j:
1T seems to have been a concerted
action among the mine operators here
to require men returning to work un-
der their court order to give up their
buttons and renounce their union af-
fliations."
Il have in mind the Colorado Fuel
and Iron Company in Colorado now
Lewis resumed, "and refusing men
work unless they sign away every
right Of citizenship. In the New
River field of West Virginia the men
are being told that they are return
ing to work without a contract and to
be dealt with merely as individuals.
wonder If these operators are vio-
lat1ng any provision of the Lever act
I wonder If the great machinery of
the government is to be turned
against them when they violate the
law?

PLANST0REl|EVE
SCHOOL CROWD|NG
Supt. Thurston to Act on
Ideas Obtained in Visit to
Other Biz Cities.

Congestion in the public schools of
Washington is more acute than in
Pittsburgh. Cincinnati, Cleveland or
Detroit superintendent of Schools
Ernest L Thurston declared upon his
return today from tour Of these four
cities
Supt Thurston said. however. that
he gained many ideas from his in
spection of the school methods of
those cities that may help in reliev-
ing crowded conditions here until
more permanent schoolhouses can be
built
To show how much worse off
Washington is in the way OF school
facilities than tho cities visited. he
cited Pittsburgh, where the increase
in the number of children this year
is only 1.400. while Washington al
ready has 5000 more than last year.
Mr.. Thurston made q careful study
of the plan Of using the school audi
toriums for certain subjects. such al
manual training and gymnastics.
Under this system a class would use
it's schoolroom in the morning for the
regular elementary studies and go to
the auditorium for other activities in
the afternoon. Another class would
use the auditorium in the morning
and the schoolroom in the afternoon.
This is one Of the projects which Mr..
Thurston is looking into as a possible
means Of making more room in some of
the local school buildings.

Extension of Powers Opposed.

AS soon as the section proposing ex-
tension of the Interstate Commerce
Commission authority over car service
had been read. several members, par
ticularly those from Texas, sought
to prevent adoption Of the section. BE-
cause of broadening the definition Of
''car service" and giving the Inter
state Commerce Commission complete
control of traffic movement in an
emergency" the section was attack
ed by members as robbery of state
rights" which would center "abso-
lutte control Of trafiic with the Inter-
state Commerce Commission"
Early in the evening session. oppo-
nents Of the section scored . partial
victory when. by a vote Of IS to 80.
they forced adoption Of an amend
ment, offered by Representative
Sweet. republican, Iowa. expressly
providing that state railroad commits
sions would retain the authority. As
limited only by the state police pow
ers, to require "just and reasonable
freight and passenger service" and
distribution Of equipment for intra-
state traffic.
"This amendment takes the vitality
out of the car service act" declared

posal of the Iowa member. TT ham.

Asserts Agreement Still in Force.

Declaring that the Washington
wage agreement still is legally in
force. Mr.. Wilson told the operators
and miners that the people of the
United States were not "Shylocks''
and do not want to exact "the tech
nical provisions Of a bond when the
conditions under which the bond was
made have changed" He added that
eff any great change is made in the
contracts the people of the Unite d
States are the ones who will have to
pay" and through his remarks em-
phasized the public interest in the
coal settlement.
