Railway Men Join
 To Fight Parcel Post

Washington, July A-Railway rep resentatfves have. joined in the fight to prevent Postnaster-Gener eral BurIe- son from increasing the size of parcel post packages transmissible through the mails and reducing the rates, to become effective August 15. A dele gation representing the railroads throughout the country laid their com pIaint before senators and represen- tatives and prepared to protest for terstate commerce commission.
 The movement in the Senate itself to forestall the department changes, by repeating the section of the parcel post law under which the postmaster general claims the right to regulate rates and sizes, further crystalized when Senator Bryan of Florida intro duced a joint resolution to repeal the legislation in question. Another de- velopment was the postponement of the explanation demanded by the Sen ate postoff1ce committee of Postnas- ter-GeneraI Burleson of his authority to inaugurate the changes from to- day until Friday.
 Tn protesting against the changes the railway representatives said that at present the roads received 50 per cent. of the pay collected by express companies for the. carriage of pack ages, and complained that they would
  year on business the government would take over through the reduced rates and increased maximum limit on the size of the packages.
 It also was explained that the roads would receive no compensation from the government for carrying of the very business for which the express companies had paid them millions The delegation suggested that the matter would be carried to the courts if necessary.
 Several inquiries were made during the day of the interstate commerce commission as to it's part in the pro posed changes. The law requires the commission to give it's consent after investigation to proposed changes by the postmaster-gener Officials gave out the information that an investi- gation of rates and sizes had not been held in the sense that public hearings had been granted, but that the com missions consent had been given to the postmaster general.

Road oiling has now become an ac- cepted practice in this country wher- ever there is a great deal of automo- bile traffic on macadam and earth roads leading through well to do res idential districts. The practice ben effts both the motorists and the resi- dents, the dust nuisance greatly de- tracts the pleasures of motoring on roads where usually one car closely follows another so that there is a cloud of dust constantly lowering over the landscape But the way the oil is applied in many cases causes motor ists a great deal of trouble.
 '"She oil used for the purpose is of a heavy, sticky, quality and partakes of the nature of tar. Usually a heavy application is made, so that one treatment will last through a whole season. To prevent the tar from ad- herring to the tires of vehicles, sand or dust is strewn over the road. How ever, the amount of sand used some times is quite insufficient, so that all of the sand is covered with liquid oil which causes it to stick to the tires and to be thrown forcibly against the nudguards and other parts, to which it may even adhere in thick layers.
 No doubt, many finely finished cars have had their finish ruined through this cause. It even happens that while the oil is being applied some sections of road are allowed to lie fo1 some time with the oil freshly applied without anything on it to absorb the liquid.
 When road oiling is done the work ought to be so conducted that no unfinished sections of road are al lowed to lay over night and plenty ot absorbent material should be put or top of the oil so that a firm and sub stantially dry road surface is formed almost imme mediately. Where roads are sufficiently wide to allow of fouI vehicles running side by side it Is 3 good plan to treat one side of thu road first and close that to traffic un- til the oi1ing is entirely done. The motorists in any community should consider it their duty to. see to it that the oiling of their streets is properly done, as the local owners of cars nat

Temporary repairs were finally made to the en- zine and the Alaska, made her way to Port Clarence. The, break in the en- zine is not serious and repairs will not take more than two days.
