SOCIALIST ANSWERS
CARDINALS ATTACK
Louis Kopelin Says He Is Pleased
that Catholic Church
Starts Attack.

Louis Kopelin. editor OF the National
Socialist and chairman OF the organiza-
ton committee of the District Of Column
bia Socialists, last night expressed pleas
ure at the declarations OF Cardinal Glib
bons against Socialism.
while the Socialists are not looking
for a fight" said MIR. Kopelin. I'VE are
rather pleased with the announcement
that the great Catholic Church has de-
cided to level its guns against our move
ment.
THE Socialist party has received the
usual treatment meted out to new organ
izations and new ideas First We suf-
cred silence Not line was printed
about us Then We were subjected 10
ridicule Every alleged humorist cracked
some Joke about Socialists and 'divid-
ing up Now We are being attacked
This is progress. indeed.
I'VE are glad that our foes have come
out into the open. The arguments made
by Cardinal Gibbons do not hit our
philosophy. His attacks are wasted on
a straw man he labeled Socialism. Gov
ism What we advocate has nothing to
do with religion or the home.
We simply demand that the people
shall. collectively, own all industries upon
which the welfare OF all the people de-
pend. But we also advocate the absolute
democratic management OF these indus
tries. Consequently. government owner
ship under the present economic system
Is not Socialism.
II may add that our movement has at
tracted thousands Of Catholics who know
that We simply advocate a better indus
trial system, and care not for any mans
belief"

NO AGREEMENT REACHED.

No agreement has yet been reached
between railroad officials and the con-
ductors and trainmen now in conference
here to consider an increase in wages.
The conductors and trainmen are de-
manding an increase of between Is and
3 per cent in wages, and the railroad
representatives are stoutly refusing to
grant the increase.
Val Fitzpatrick, who represents the
trainmen. said last night that so far the
railroad representatives have shown no
inclination to accede to the demands
Mr.. Fitzpatrick intimated that the
employees would carry their fight forward
unless success crowned their efforts.
H. Baker, who represents the railroads.
refused last night TO discuss the situa-
tion. The matter In conference affects
about 10.oo0 employees. The principal
railroads which enter into the proposition
are the Seaboard Air Line and the
Southern. 1t affects practically all rail-
roads east Of the Mississippi River and
south Of the Potomac and Ohio rivers.

which the zones are drawn. The
rates of postage are fixed from the
unit in which the sending postoffice is
situated, but the price to every place
in any zone is just the same. To IL
lustrate, it will cost exactly the same
amount to send a parcel from Wash
ington to Erie, Pa, that 1t costs to
send 1t to Atlanta, Ga, because Erie
and Atlanta with reference to Wash
ington are situated in the fourth
zone. The rates therefore are fixed
from the unit in which the postoffice
is located, but they are the same
from that office to any point in any
one zone.
1t will be seen by reference to the
table of rates Of postage that it will
cost more per pound to send pack

send 1t short distance. The rate in

more than II pounds can be sent un-
der the new parcel post law. 1t
should be said right here that on the
long hauls the parcel post may not
be able. to compete with the express
companies, but that on shorter hauls
it can so compete. It was the ex.
| pressed desire of the legislators and
of the postoffice officials that the par
eel post system should be made OF
particular use to persons having farm
and factory products to transmit to
customers. It is probable that pro
ducers must study the rates Of post
age and the convenience Of trans
initial and compare them with che
cost and convenience under present
methods before individually a man car
determine whether he is to profit o.
not by the change. Then there is an
other thing to be considered ant
which only can be known definitel!

BY EDWARD 9. CLARK.

With the coming of the New Year
the United States government will en-
ter into q new field of enterprise
the transmittal of merchandise by
what is known as the parcel p1st.
For years there has been a demand
for such a system of inexpensive
transmittal of packages. The camps
of favor and disfavor Of the parcel
post scheme have been about equally
divided. Finally at the last session
of congress bill was passed which
will put the plan into operation, but
only it must be said in little more
than an experimental way.
1t is the intention Of Uncle Sam to
move rather slowly In the parcel post
matter. He wants to find how popu-
lar 1t will be, how much it will cost
the government, and whether there is
to be a profit or loss at the end Of
each year. If it is found that the
plan is successful from the point of
view of the people, which means the
government also, the parcel post will
be extended until finally 1t reaches
the proportions which its proponents
say they believe 1t is destined to as
sumo.
Zone System Explained.
y It Is no exaggeration to say that
thousands upon thousands of inquir'
ses have been made of the postmaster
general as to just what the parcel
post will mean to the people. 1t was
the law of congress establishing the
system which made provision for
\ division Of the country into zonei
and into $4,000 units which are to be
used as centers In describing the cir
cles which mark the boundaries o
the zones. There has been no cleal
understanding, apparently, of thi
zone system. but really it is YER!
simple matter. @
The accompanying map shows tn
country divided into zones from tn
unit in which Washington is sit
uated, as the center Accompanying
the map is table showing the rat

Washington to places within all tn

Each unit contains an area thirt
