PosToFFIcE CUTS PAY.
Government Orders Reduction In
Charge for Hauling Mails


A general order has been issued by thu
Postoffce Department which will result
in reducing the compensation enjoyed
by the railroads for carrying the mails
by at least $l,OoO,000 annually. In con-
nection with the order it is limited that
there may be scandal if all the facts
which made the issuance of the order q
necessity become known.
The order in question affects several
hundred mail routes in the country and
is to the effect that on these routes the
mail can be carried in smaller cars than
the railroads are using. Ii is therefore
ordered that reduction either be made
in the size of the cars or If the railroads
choose to continue their use they will get
paid for the size of cars actually needed.
On the other hand, the railroads insist
that it is the province of the postofiice
Department to designate the cars which
shall be used on thermal routes and that
the roads are now using such cars as
were actually ordered by the department.
Department officials admit that this is
true, but insist that more space is being
paid for by the department than is actu-
ally needed in the transportation of the
mails. but it is not stated whether this
condition is the result Of poor Judgment
or otherwise. The new order is the re-
suit of the work Of 125 private detectives
which the Postoffice Department placed
on the work about six months ago. Their
reports show that in hundreds of cases
the government was paying for more
space than is necessary and the Postmas-
ter General therefore ordered a reduction.
Besides the regular compensation based
upon tonnage which the railroads receive
for Transporting the mails they also re
ceive car mileage for cars over thirty
feet in length.
The PoStofice Department has decided
to begin weighing the mail on all routes
in the country early in October with a
view of furnishing Congress with data
asked for. In order to do so the govern
ment will have to provide thousands OF
additional scales.

Report on City Ownership.

The investigation of public ownership
Of public utilities in Europe and this
country by the National Civic Fedora
tons commission has resulted il two re-
ports, one by Prof John X. Commons OF
Wisconsin university favorable to the
proposition and the other by J. w. Sulli-
van of the Clothing Trades Bulletin dis
approving. Prof. Commons says they
found the privately owned utilities in
England dividing surplus for civic tst-
terments because of the prevailing ten
dency toward public ownership and its
example in cities where it had been
adopted. Many have shrewdly arranged
cOpartnership plans and have recognized
the labor unions He is convinced that
the recognition of the unions is the safe
guard against political corruption in pub
lie ownership and that private ownership
offers no escape from politics. Editor
Sullivan says that in all but the most
poorly paid forms Of labor public owner
ship has not raised or improved cOndi-
tons of work. He contends that in Eng
land no street car business has ever been
a private enterprise, in the sense that the
word is used in this country, thus making
comparison with American conditions I'M
fair. Taking Syracuse, Allegheny and
Wheeling as the best samples of Ameri-
can municipaliZation offered, they found
conclusive evidence of political rotten
ness in each case. He regards it as "a
project to restrict men in their aCtivi-
ties by methods foreign to the American
genius"

enough American steamers were offered to convey
from 5oCoG to 10000 tons-a deficient tonnage wO-
lully deficient but still a great deal more than
ohe-Iehth- Only one of these American steamers,
however, presented a bid based on tonnage; the
o'hers' because of apparent extraordinary lack Of
return carsoes, were offered a time charter
OASIS. This latter proposition the Navy Depart
ment could not accept, and all but of the
American steamers We're consequently withdrawn
from the competition
The Presidents offer to pay American vessels 50
per cert more than the foreign rate was generous
IN itself, and under ordinary circumstances more
than sufficient. But this lack Of return cargoes
prevented the American steamers from undertake
ing voyage to the Pacific whence they would
probably have to return in ballast for thirteen
thousand miles
Their British rivals, built and manned a far
lower wage scale. have the added advantage that
British mercantile houses dominate the interna-
uonal commerce of the world These British
houses prefer British steamers. so that the for
eign craft that convey navy coal to the Pa
cic are reasonably sure Of profitable freights to
Australasia the Orient whence additional
freights be obtained for the United King
dom. American steamers however, practically
dependent on the coast trade of the United States
and this at the present tiule with the competition
of the transcontnental railroads and of the
isthmian routes. offers small encouragement 10
American vessels.
There was no disposition the part OF Ameri-
can ship owners TO take advantage of the

But the most important aspect of the whole mat
