CIRCULATION WEEK'ENDING OCT. 11, 1919 10,353 GOVERNMENT WASTE. government about the Svinz, the wisdom Waste. and the need of regarding that advice needless!y presented ev: zoes to show now that and then for not been respect, parently only fe Tt has there ap- straint been bought nothing b junk. Such at least is the story that a2 member of the houss committee in- vestigating wasteful methods war department tells when he de- clares that the department now has 47.000 more automobiles than it needs and 2 large proportion of these have been since last vear, exposed without protection. In addition it deparment to rain, frost and sun insisted war was over and regardless of appli- cations to the extent of nearly 500 this year not a single gume has been disposed of. And the bardest part of all this is not thet this has caused a shortage of cars when they are want- ed so much-iu the regular trade, but that so many people heard of their country, saved ev- any they could and really saved hurt in order to see that the had funds emough to en- gage in such ruinous extravagance. It is a deplorable ation for there ap- pears to be little chance of getting much for cars that have stood out a r and et the people are to continue to be taxed to pay interest on such wasted THE CALLED COAL STRIKE. The count! watehing with inter- est the outcome of the efforts of the government through the department of labor to bring about an adjustment of ie between the soft coal min- the operators which because as impossible for them to agree amongst themselves resulted in the 2 2 strike for the first of No- Fember. f 2il the demands that have been advanced by union orgamizations wit! the period of the war none has been so unreasonabie as these put forth by the miners, and this in spite the fact that there is an agreement cont ar ued until peace was declared until March of next year. are seeking a 60 per cent. inerease wages, a six hour day and 4 five day week. meaning not only a large increase in pay but such a eut ting of heurs that it would mean a heavy reduction in production When the parties at interest could not agree it was important that the vernment should stey in and see at the nroduction ef coal was het stopped. for it is not to be forgotten that the railroads and the industries of the country are dependent soft coa railroads hand the resul the present of of time are in the government. What the efforts will be no the one ean teli hut it is perfeetly plain! that the mines ought not to be closed. When it comes to the opera- | ors of eoal mines few are inclined to| be sympathetic but when the miners put forth such an outandish claim as that which they make for a 30 hour week their anpeal on ihat point| carries mizhty little weight. It shows neither regard for reason nor the effect that it is bound to have upon the con- sumers. A strike of the coal miners is bad enough but one under such de- mands is worse and it is to be hoped that the zovernment efforts will have the effect that they should. ' HURTING OURSELVES. Time and again has attention beea called of late to the obstacles that are being placed in are being made. We are told that this country can lead the world yet we find that business which ought to cftne here and would lke to come here goes eisewhere because of more f3vorable terms. i We have been going through a per- igd of unprecedented prosperity in many lines, due to unusual condi- tions, and while nothing better could be desired than that such could con- tfnue it is plainly evident that the falfiliment of existing demands or the msistence upon their increase is not only stopping production in the great industries of the country, but i€ is actually turning trade to other nations. This is interestingly shown in the’| cise of a Pacific coast shipbuilder who sought to get a contract for two ships aggregating 15.860 tons. There some excellent and rapid shipbuild- ing has been done in the past few years and he reported on his return from the umsuccessful effort to, land the contracts that while by reason of some special possibilities his company was the favored bidder he could not zet the contract at $170 a tom against g @t the Pomoies &t Normich. Camn.. any more than the government itself? There seems 10 be plenty of evidence that different branches of the government have been and still are the worst sort of violators in, this upon expenditures but after the goods have = been done in the way of protecting them from the elements and they are fast becoming of the November. almost @ is to be noted that the upon the delivery of over $175000,000 of cars since the invest-| h the government that rates would | upon | to keep them zoing and the | {atw the way of progress: for this country by the demands that! cost of ‘others are situation. BURLESON'S SELF PRAISE. It isn't very often that Postmaster General’ Burleson gets a chance to blow his own hérn. but -when he dpes he settles right down to the job With a degree of satisfaction that seems to be contagious. The fact is that there is mo. one ®lse to put in a good 2 ap- the fact and he goes to his task with fuil knowledge of the many friends ‘that hé hasn't got in the coun- try. - The hardware men whom he spoke in Atlantic City might have { been more interested .jn wires and ‘the grand muddle that was made when in {laking over the telegraph and tele- phone systems but he didn’t have any- | thing to say about that. His address was confined to tw€ postoffice depart- | ment 'and it is highly interesting to note, after the way in which the peo- | ple have suffered from poor postal ser- to = We have heard from time to time|vice, undelivered soldiers’ mail and a m the different departments of the importance of overcoming of chcking ex- vagance. And during all that time %: there been anyone who has been general lowering of the department standard, that he took occasion to de- slare that “the postal administration is remarkable in development, won- derful in organmization and has & standard of efficiency that borders on the miraculons.” It ¢an be veadily understood inas- much as the hardware men must have ibeen thoroughly acquainted with the | conditions that the people have &x- { perienced mnd complained of so much | that they were much amused at the statements of the posimaster general But as said before he doesn't get a chance very often and of course he has to make the most of it when he does, and we have no doubt that many more then the hardware men smiled all over when they read what the pastmaster general had. to say about the efficiency in his own department while he has been holding the reins. | Sitting in his own case he gquickly an- quits himself.
