CIRCULATION WEEK ENDING MAY 13th, 1822 11,506 NEW ENGLAND COAL. New England is so situated that it is possible for a large part of it to have its coal supply, or much of it at least, transported by water for a considerable part of the distance between the mine and the dealer. That has been the methcd depended upon for years by many of the citles- which are on tide water and others which have good rafl connectlons with tide water points. It has been possible, however, in spite of all the difficulties that have been ex- perienced in connection with rall trans- portaticn to get coal by that means at less expense a ton than by water. Wa- ter rates have been given as the excuse for that situation, but with the large amount of shipping idle there would ap- pear to be an admirable opportunity for putting the vessels to work in the coal trade for the serving of New England po'nts, New Frgland's fuel supply can be much more easily moved during the warm months and with all cohnected therew:th, from consumers up, working together there should be overcome under normal conditions any possibility of a shortage due to the handicaps imposed by winter, Indications come from New Haven to the effect that there is a marked revi- val In the water transportation of coal when the ccean going barges and four and five masted schooners are unable to handle the business of serving' this part of the country and steamers are to be employed, running to Connecticut ports. This seems 20 be a late resort to this type of shipping In view of the great number that are idle but it should mean a speeding up of the delivery of ooal to this section and the utilization of what has always heretofore been re- garded as the cheapest means of getting eoal to this part of the country. With vessels employed Instead of cars the long haul for fuel can, to a large de- gree, be broken and the motive power of the railroads be employed in other tervice. The idea of giving idle ships something to do cannot fail to be re- tarded as a good one. —_— THE STEEL COMPANIES. During the changed conditions which bave prevatied in this country for a sumber of years due to entering the war, participating in it and getting over te effects of it a new view of big bus- mess has been taken. It is found th: t is not the dangerous thing that it was thought to be, it properly conducted. In fact there are instances which show that & is desirable. The government at Jeast found it out when it undertook lo put government into business and im- mediately resorted to those things which business had been grevented from doing. It -esuiled in a Wifferent 1light being ‘hrown upon big business. Just now attention is directed to the ‘esolution of Senator’ Lafollette ask- ng for the attitude of the department of Justice relative to the announcement that the largest of the independent stecl plants arranged to absord one of the smaler ones. For one steel plant to absorb an- other is nothing new. There was a time when it was believed that the United Btates Steel company was a violator of the anti-trust laws and an effort was made to iave it 8o declared and lis- soived, but it was determined that .t was not a monopoly, that it did aot sirangle competitors and that it did not serve to restraln trads. It was found that it did not hegin to produce a ma- lcrity of the steel ¢r handle a majoc- ty of the steel business of the country and therefore was a iong way from be- ing 2 monopoly, In the purchase of the Lackawanna company by the Bethlehem the company will not begin to handle as large a vearly tonnage of steel business as the United States, so that it cannot be re- garded as belng detrimental to the coun- try If the larger company is not doing business against the ant! trust law pro- viisons, In these days When the merits of ombinations are coming in for a wider appreciation it is proper that there should be a square deal given to all. If the bringing together of the two com- panies means no violation of the federal laws there séems to be no good reason for anyone getting nervous, except it be Wisconsin senator. GOODS FOR SHIPMENT. Though it is something entirely new, it will be appreciated by those who re- celve or handle goods sent by freight or even express that the i{dea of the Boston & Albany railroad is sending over its line a speclally equipped ecar for the purpose of displaying a moving plcture showing the proper method of packing and protecting freight ship- ments, The rallroad company is actuated in this move by the idea of cutting or eliminating the large claims against the road for damage to goods in transit, when guch ¢an to a large degree be overcome by giving attention to the matter of packing. This is a matter which hag long been ander discussion in this country. The roads can appreciate the need. They are desirous of ending a large expense, and the logical method of doing eo 18 ‘hrough prevemtive measures, None detler than those who have to handle Ireight matter can appreciate the need ¥ just such instructions as the B. & A, lmnenidtouw:mdmfio for newspaper bags. custard, white | s desired. tensive mutual benefit if those for whom the help and suggestions are intended but accept them and endeavor to carry out what cannst fail to be recognized as advisable.

RUSSIA AT THE CONFERENCE. - It is desired In Eprope after haying Dbeen torn as it never was before that there should te an improved economic condition and an understanding be- tween the nations. It can be appre- Tlated that tnere might well be a desire for a ten year truce and it will be un- fortunate if the conference at Genoa ends without some progress being made in the ishment of the aims for which it was called. For the nations of Europe to get to- gether and carry out the full programme arranged for Genoa, in view of the feel- ings that have been developed as tha re- sult of the war, would be a wonderful accomplishment. It would indicate that a new era had arrived. It would be just the opposite of what might be ex- pected of Europe. And yet under the circumstances it was worth trying. It was time that it was determined just what and where the holdbacks were. From such an attitude as it has taken since the opening of the conference the reply of the Russians to the allies measures up to just about what was ex- pected of them. Soviet Russia seems to be thoroughly impressed with its own importance and apparently feels thor- oughly justified in asking Burope, in view of all that has taken place in Rus- sia, to do the generous thing by it be- fore it is able to demonstrate to the world that its promises amount to some- thing and that Russia really intends to do something constructive for itself. If Russla doesn’t intend to recognize the debts which have been created for Rus- sia and the actual ebligations of that country, it certainly cannot borrow more fromn the same lenders, and it is folly to suppose that it can offset those debts by claims which are but a pretext. The idea of pouring money into Rus- sia to help it produce is an excellent one from the Russian standpoint, but those who are looked to do the pouring are neither driving a hard bargain nor try- Another effort to put an end to lnter- rational differences which will be great benefit if it can be amnmplished Is that for the adjustment of the Ta.c- dispute - between Chili Peru. The conference between the re\'l- resntatives of the respective nations opens today at Washington, to which point they have come at the suggestion of this government. Conflict between these South Ameri- ca) countries has taken place on several occasions. It is as the result of their troubles and agreéements that have been made that these two provinces, crecited to Chili, but formerly belvng' ing to other countries, are a bone contention. Naturally Peru desires to have them back, which under the terms of a treaty might have been accomplish- ed years ago had there been a plebiscite which was promised but has never been arranged. ‘While the dispute between the mflonx which has resulted in a rupture of re- lations, concerns but Chill and Peru, there was once a time when Bolivia ownsd part of the territory which gave it /an outlet to the sea. Naturally it will never be satisfled until it gets it back again, and because of the advan- na-Ariea long as continued on proper :ronnds. But' Bolivia’s claims are ont involved in the conference - now underway. One grand good bit of work will be accom- plished if a settlement can be reached between the nations that are dsrectly concerned, Naturally this country pleased to lend its efforts and influem:e in that direction.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Not EKnocking Rotary Club. Mr, Editor: For the information of Voter in last Wednesday morning’s Bul- letin would say there is not one mem- ber of the Rotary club who is so thick as to think I was knocking the Rotary club or any other club but every moth- er's son of them is intelligent enough to know that I had simply injected a little fun into the daylignt time stuff that the people have been overfed upon the past few weeks. It was not neces- sary for him to say that he was not a member of the Rotary club as his let- ter plainly shows he would be no help to that or any other club.

HOW ITALIANS COOK MACARONI This is an Italian way of cooking macaroni, or spaghetti,_which has the great advantage of not needing an oven. You can cook it on a gas ring, with an asbestos mat to protect it from burning. Take four ounces of macaroni, break it up and bail it in salted water for 20 minutes, by which time /it should be tender. Drain it. Now put your asbestos mat on the gas, turning the flame rather low, and an earthenware casserole in which you excuse me from it. Now, Mr. Voter, I would not have read your stuff if you had not used my name as life is too sltort to waste time reading stuff which people do not put their name to. - G. L. CROSGROVE.
