f4 MESTTEICHEISISK\ TO WORK IN MINES Fet(tion to Education Board Urges Volunteer Service in Coal Fields. GALL TO BACK CONGBESS Luro of Ncvr Lifo and Pay Might Hold Many, Somo Say. Mn school teachers una principals put themselves on recora yesterflay at a meeting of the Association of Men Tetchers and Principals at Terrace Car- een as being willing to ohoyel coal In the mines If the occasion demanded. A resolution was adopted to petition the Board of Education to jrrant per- mission to any or all male teachers In Nnr York to volunteer for service In the coal fields without loss of pay. John Simon, an elementary whool teacher, In discussing the motion said the, tme had come for action, not words, that this resolution would not brand ranfehera as strike breakers but would ae them up along with Congress bo- - Hind the President 'Thtro Is nn mom for an organiza tion In this country which considers itaolf said Mr. Simon, \Tho time has come when one has either got to stand up and bo counted an an American, or sit down and be counted out\ He also raised the question as to what would be done with the difference In\ pay which the teachers would re- ceive If they took up digging for coal, lie was anxious to know twhethor the difference between their present pay ns teachers and tho greater remuneration they would recelvo as coal miners would have to be turned over to the Hoard of Education, given to the miners' fund, or kept It was suggested by thoso present that It tho teachers went. In heavily for coal heaving they might grow to care for the new life with Its added financial lustro and refuse to throw aside their shovels-t- resume teaching. Another motion was passed empower- ing tho president, Notnar dray, through the secretary to write n letter to Local N\o. C of tho Tcnchors Union and ask concerning its attitude on tho coal strike. It was explained the Teachers Union Ivas composed of the radical element of the teaching start In the city, and that three of Its leading members had been put out of Da Witt Clinton High School In 1917 for their unpatriotic attitudes. The Association of Men Teachers and Principals was organized ns a back- ground for the more conservative mem- bers of tho teaching profession, and tho communication which wilt be sent to the Toachers Union Is calculated to find out where thoy stand. Mr. Gray said If the teachers were permitted to volunteer for work In the mines their places would no doubt be taken by women. There nro about 700 members In the association. Most of the teachers In tho city are women. Considering that S per cent of the teachers aro absent every day, leaving 48,000 children In the hands of substi- tutes. It was argued that the absence of tho mala teachers on a patriotic mission ought not to be a severe Incumbrance. MADRID NOW HAS SUBWAY. Police Cnlled to Handle Crowds nt Opeitluir of Oyntem.

ROADS BEGIN CUT IN TRAIN SERVICE Effect of Coal Striko Seen in Transportation on Sev- eral Lines. BEDllCTIONS IN JEllSEY Intcrborough Has Two \Weeks Supply of tfucl, B. B, T. About Forty Days, The cutting of railroad service due to tho strike of tho coal miners began yes- terday despite announcements from many sources tho transportation service would bo little affocted. The Delaware, Lackawanna and West- ern Railroad announced It will discon- tinue eighteen of Its suburban rush hour trains, which move will uffect persons residing in Summit, Montclalr, South Orange and other neighboring New Jer- sey towns. Several up State passenger trains of the New York Central wero reported taken off, although at the of- fices here it 'vas said that no official action to curtill tho service had been taken ns yet Percy B. Todd, director of the Railroad Administration for New England, told managers of the roads as- sembled In Boston that a material re- duction would have to be made Imme- diately In the number ot trains oper- ated on each lino. Notwithstanding this the railroad of- ficials seemed gtnorally to be of tho opinion they will be protected from any great reduction of service by rearon of tho fact they have first call upon tho nation's fuel suptly. Tho American Coal Journal Is also of this opinion, and remarks editorially: \Under the Fuel Administration's THE SUN, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 8, m& priority order the railroads have first call on the available fuel supply, and they use approximately ono-thlr- d of all the ooat produced In tho country. Few of them havo much reserve stock. Next in order come the domestic consumers. Thfse. according to reports from various centres, are fairly well provtdod for the time being, the only serious feature be- ing In connection with tho smaller users whose funds or storage space do not permit early buying In quantity. It Is theso people who will have to receive ppeclal attention from tho retail coal trnde. \Taking It all In all, therefore, the country is irbt In such bad shape for fuol that It cannot withstand a strike of reasonable duration, and there la no reason to bellve that the troublo will be unduly prolonged.\ Local public service corporations were also fairly optimistic. Frank A. Hed-le- president of tho Interborough Rapid Transit Company, said : \Wo have about 80,000 tons of coal on hand, and we do not anticipate any trouble because the transportation system of New York Is vital to Its people, and some means should be available so that coal may be obtained to keep the property running.\ It was stated at the Interborough of- fices that the supply on hand should last about two weeks. At the oftlcos ot the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company It was stated that the supply on hand should last from four to six weeks, before the end of which time the company hopes for replenishment Robert E. Livingston, director of the bureau of Information ot the Brooklyn Union Gas Company, said tho gas and electric light concerns of this city should be ablo to operato tor three months on their present supply. Regional Director Hardin of the Rail- road Administration said last night In this city that In his belief tho cancella- tion of train service would not bo sub- stantial. The alterations which havo been ordered will go Into effect Monday, he said. In expressing the opinion that there is no danger of Immediate and wide- spread suffering resulting from the striko the American Coal Journal nays the trouble Is bound to be shortlived. It looks to the temporary Injunction to break the .backbono of the strike by preventing the union leaders from par- ticipating and by preventing the pay- ment of striko benefits. \Teaching My Children Music\ (A Letter from an Ampico Owner) bought our Ampico to give our children an education in music, and it is accomplishing this purpose.
