Commissioners Feel
Regulations Won 'tBar
More Day-Care Funds

The Commissioners expressed con-
fidence last night that District reg
ulations will not prevent acceptance
from the Federal Works Agency OF
an increased allotment of Lanham
Act funds for public day-care CEN
ters.
Brig Gen. Philip B. Fleming
FWA administrator, informed the
city heads yesterday that he would
grant more money to communities
to enable them to lower day-care
fees to so cents day in the 1900
nurseries supported by Lanham Act
funds throughout the country.
Miss Dorothy Pearse, day-care
director, expressed fear, however
that the Districts compulsory slid
ing scale of fees commensurate
with ability to pay" would prevent
her from lowering rates to FWA's
suggested ceiling. Fees here range
as high AS $l.33 day.
L do not believe there will be
any conflict between the District
and Federal programs" Commits
sioner John Russell Young declared.
and Commissioner Guy Mason con-
Cured.
A new contract between the Dis
trict and FWA is now being nego-
tiated, Commissioner Young SAID.
Increased allotments from FWA
may be embodied in it, they said.
Gen. Fleming set the ceiling OF
so cents a day and promised more
grants, he said, to open facilities 20
as many mothers as possible. The
father draft, he said. will make the
service necessary to thousands more
children and it, therefore, should
be cheaper.

Pan American Bar
Plans 10 Support
Postwar Program
BY HAROLD B. ROGERS.

The organized lawyers of the
Western Hemisphere are laying new
plans to give strong support to their
primary peace objective . = uni
versal international system with ju-
dicial, legislative and executive func-
tions."
Steps toward this end were taken
yesterday by high officials of the
Inter-American Bar Association, in
Guiding two from Canada. They met
here to study ways and means of
implementing resolutions the as
sociation adopted at its recent meet
ing in Rio de Janeiro. Among these
resolutions was declaration for
such universal international sys-
tenn" Plans were discussed for the
1914 session In Mexico City, but no
date was fixed.
This development came at stra-
tegic time rs Congress is consider
ing plans to help prevent future
wars and preserve peace through
international cooperation. The Full
bright resolution has passed the
House, and the Connally resolution
is slated to come up for debate to-
morrow in the Senate.
While all three proposals-from
the organized bar. the House and
the Senate-are different, they have
the same end in view in an effort
to prevent war.
Distinguished Lawyers Present.

eral countries, representing their

consumption to an individual con.
sumner before December /.
The situation is mot too bright
and not too much on the dark side,
according to A. P. Brown, District
coal dealer and chief OF the coal
division of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association. An Of
f1cial of another coal company, wllc
did not wish to be quoted by name
emphatically declared, however, that
it would be impossible to prepare a
description of the present hard coal
situation which would have any
sense in it.
With that strike threat ahead,
he said, nobody can be sure of any,
thing. AS of today, there is no suf-
fering. Ninety-five per cent have
coal in their bins. But few have a
winters supply.
Trouble Is Distribution"
The great trouble is distribution.
Some dealers started last July and
some didn't. The ones that dia gave
their customers 100 per cent of
what they asked for and they're
the ones who don't have coal on
hand today"
Fear of panic and pyramiding of
orders were causing Mr.. Brown the
greatest concern. He said his Or
ganization had discovered cases
where customers had ordered coal
from as many as six dealers and
then failed to notify the remaining
five after receiving a delivery from
the sixth. The result has been, he
said, that the time of the others
who arrived to make delivery
found the customer supplied and
were forced to return to the yard
with the coal undelivered has been
wasted.
Customers are now required to de-
clare how much coal they have in
the bin and the amount used last
year They also must pledge not
to place the order elsewhere. Never
theless, he said, part of the public
does not seem to be aware of the
serious nature of the waste involved
in pyramided orders in wartime.
At the Solid Fuels Administration
it was said that fewer complaints
regarding the lack Of coal have
been received from Washington than
from anywhere else An increased
demand for anthracite due to the
conversion program which has now
been suspended, brought the in
crease in the coal ALLEGATION, it was
said. although some former WASH
ington anthracite users have turned
to low volatile bituminous coal
rather than do without
Some 262000 tons of anthracite,
used only for space heating. were
burned in Metropolitan Washington
last winter, it was said. This year.
10000 tons have been allocated to
the area. But whether it will arrive
here depends on the miners, the
mine owners and the War Labor

BALTIMORE. Oct. 23.-Emploves
Of the Bethlehem-F Fairfield Ship
yard, which produces Liberty ships
were told today by the management
that it might be necessary to close
the yard unless crane operators re-
turn to their jobs
General Manager J. NJ. Willis said
in signed notice posted through
out the big shipbuilding plant that
production was slowing down and an
unSpeCiiied number of workers, other
than cranemen, had been sent home
because Of the work Stoppage.
The cranemen, most of them
members Of an AFL union, refused
1atly four days ago to lift extra
weights without extra pay.
Representatives of the AFL's In
ternational Union of Operating En-
9lneerS asserted there was no strike
saying the men were ordered off the
Job because they refused to violate
the company'S own safety rule re-
garding lifting of heavy weights.
Mr. Willis reiterated in the no.
tice the company'S position that the
stoppage was a jurisdictional strike
and pointed out again that the CIO
Industrial Union Of Marine and
Shipbuilding Workers of America
holds a collective bargaining con-
tract with the company.
The company" the notice said

other union in this yard. ." The
