COAL EMBARGO STAYS,
COMMISSION DECIDES

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion yesterday declined to modify
it's order of June 19, which virtually
places an embargo on export coal by
giving railroad priority to tidewater
teoal consigned to coastwise points
north of Charleston, S. c. The COM
mission expressed its unwillingness
to remove the restrictions in let
ter to Joshua w. Alexander, Score
tary of Commerce. who has sought
to have the ban lifted for shipments
to Argentina and other South Amer
ican countries. -
Secretary Alexander had suggested
that the shortage situation could be
relieved by the ALLEGATION of more
vessels to the New England coal
trade by the Shipping Board, but to
date not more than three ships have
been assigned by the board.

Gratitude for Public Support
Expressed in FarewellLetter
By Former School Head

In a farewellsaddress to the pub.
lie of Washington, whom he has
served for twenty-six years, Ernest
L. Thurston, former superintendent
of schools, recently dismissed by the
Board of Education amid storm
of protest from various civic and
other bodies, last Haght expressed
his appreciation for the attitude of
the public in the recent school con-
troversy. He described this as "the
greatest reward which can come to
a mantle real confidence and good
will of a great community"
The Rev. John Van Schaick, jr.. for
mer president of the board. declined
to comment on the letter OF his
former subordinate. Instead he ex-
pressed the opinion that DR.. Abram
Simon. newly elected president OF
the board, will accept the position
in spite of rumors to the contrary.
DR.. Simon will return to Washing
ton Monday instead of Wednesday.
Van Schaick declared. The Thurston
letter follows:
"l414 Madison street northwest,
July 8, 1920.
ITO the people of the District of
columbia:
Acting contrary to the clearly
expressed wish Of the community
the Board Of Education has termi-
mated my service as superintendent
of schools. In view Of my long
connection with the public school
system. extending over a period of
twenty-six years, and in view
especially Of the incidents of the
last few months, 1t seems 10 me
entirely fitting that / should say
just a few words to the public at
this time.
During my years in the public
schools. in positions of steadily in
creasing responsibility, I have come
to look upon my work as offering 6
opportunity for public service of
the highest order. The public
schools are the public'sN schools.
They stand at the foundation of
the community, to renew its life
and to train it's citizenry. Any man
who serves in a position of au-
thority in the public schools should
feel a deep and true sense of re-
-sponsibility to his community and
should recognize clearly the duty of
serving ii with his whole heart. A
worthwhile school officer is more
and more measured by the service
that he renders rather than by the
position he happens to hold. Per-
sonally, / felt this sense of respon-
sibility to the community very
deeply. It. has governed my thought
and my action. Personal feeling
has at no time weighed in my de-
cisions. but simply what was best
for the schools and the community.

New York, July 3.-More aliens

T BERLIN. July 3.-The Berlin Fed
Grafton of Labor has accepted the
Russian invitation to send a COM
mission to Russia to investigate the
possibilities of developing Russo
German trade and the emigration
of skilled German labor 70 Russia.
The expenses OF the commission Of
three. headed by the radical Social
list, Rusch. will be borne by the
Berlin labor unions. The body is
expected to spend several months
in Russia.
Radicals in the federation are
, confident the investigation will un-
cover extensive supplies of, fooo
and raw materials at moderate
prices for Germany. but the mod
crate element is lukewarm on the
proposal. The question of openings
for German skilled workmen In
! Russia to place industry on a mod
ern footing. which long has been a
favorite topic OF discussion between
Bolshevists and their German SYM
pathizers, has been stressed during
the debate owing to the prospect of
| extensive unemployment in Ger
many as a result of the expected
period of Industrial business de-
preston.
The federation has determined to
arrange a great demonstration or

tention of the government and en-
pIoyers to the necessity of meas
ures to prevent closing down OF
factories wholly or partly. The fed-
Grafton proposes the reduction of

prohibition of overtime work. Some

ported intention of the entente to

He Thinks.

The position of Postmaster Gem
eral Burleson that all clerks eligible
for retirement should be separated
from the government payroll with
out a chance to take advantage of
the two years of grace granted
them by law found a supporter in
the, person of Gaylord S. Salt=-

for retention any Of the eighty
eight persons, out of 200 who come
under the provisions of the retire.
ment law, who desire to remain In

ready, have prepared a campaign
against the faction taken by Burle-
son and II is understood that a
similar fight will be waged for the
workers in the Pension once.

in q letter to John Barton Payne

been given the administration of the

'I believe the act for the retire.

not realized they had gone aboard
the wrong ship until he saw the
French flag flying from the steam

Birmingham, Montgomery and Other Cities to Fight TeIe-

Birmingham, Montg omery, and other municipalities will join hands to CO., operate in fighting any raise in tele- phone rates in Alabama, if plans to that effect which are being made by J. Ellis Brown, commissioner of public utilities, are carried through.
 MT. Brown has entered into core spondence with Mayor w. A. Gunter of Montgomery, and other heads of cities in the state that have telephone sys- tems. Every effort will be made by these cities in asking that the petition of the Southern Bell Telephone Com pany be denied.
 The city of Birmingham has secured expert legal aid and also has retained the services of l. w. Ross, consulting engineer to investigate the situation and make report to the commission.
 After the telephone company went into the hands of the federal govern ment during the war, it was also al- lowed an increase in rates. This rate was allowed to stand when the com pany went back into private owner ship, despite the efforts of the city oi Birmingham and other cities
 The city commissioners believe that no further raise should be allowed and will make every effort to have the rates kept at their present level

It would be easy to care for 5o0oO Armenian orphans if all of the people in the United States felt the same call to help that one old colored woman in Memphis. Tennessee, felt when she wrote the following letter to W. G. Klingman at the Alabama Tennessee headquarters, in Chattanooga;
 Dear Sir, as i was looking at your Ala B.. paper 1 found where was 1000 of children wanted to be fed. as i am a good christian woman, aint got not one sole to see after, i felt it was my duty to write and see on what turn could get of thim an i will hold my place till here from you, but want girls, am colord woman but i am able to do so if 1 was not would not wrote thin at once if you wish write me and send on 1 will meet thin am yours, if colord send thim-"
 A million orphans, probably, would hardly be enough to go around.
 Conditions in Armenia, which have been so acut esfor the past,severa1y years are gradually improving, according to reports from district headquarters of the Near East Relief committee. How
 there are still thousands of small childrenSwho receive only one-eighth of an ounce of rice for dayas rations.
 Since the withdrawal of Colonel Will liam flask ell, United States army off, cer, and his staff, from Armenia the entire care ofathe-Armenian people has been turned over to the near east re- lief committee.
