CONGRESS TO ACT ON SEVERAL
MATTERS OF IMPORTANCE
THIS WINTER.
ALASKA RAILROAD BILL ONE
Public Health Service. Report on Lob

Canal Tolls Among the Other
Pending Subjects.
BY GEORGE CLINTON.

ington.-Congress may not and
probably will not pass any very dras-
tic antitrust legislation this winter.
but nevertheless both houses will find
plenty to do with measures which.
while they are of less seeming import
ance than antitrust bills, are matters
of considerable moment to the general
public. Therefore. while congress
may not do any tremendously big
things during the winter, it will man
age TO keep busy.
When congress quit for the Christ
mas recess the house. had three impor-
tant matters of unfinished business
on its calendar, the Alaska railroad
bill, a joint resolution providing for
the appointment of a commission to
investigate and report a plan for ma
tional aid to vocational education; and
the District OF Columbia appropriation
bill. The senate also had a special
| order on the Alaska railroad bill and
so it seems likely that this legislation
is practically certain TO pass before
| warm weather sets in.
After the Alaska railroad bill It
seems likely that the Ada mson bill TO
create a public health service with
more extended powers than those now
lodged in the public health and marine
hospital services will be taken up for
| consideration and very likely passe O..

support OF labor at the polls. III
this respect Therefore it may be said
that a chance to vote for labor legisla-
ton is popular. but there are times
when Representatives and senators are
so convinced the legislation asked is
not eminently proper that they make
up their minds to vote against it and
by so doing they feel they may lose
votes. and therefore in this respect la
Dor legislation at times may be said
to be unpopular.
In Washington, officials in congress
and out of it recognize. no matter to
what party they belong, that progress
sivism is the order of the day in legis.
lation and the progressivism and hui
manitarianism frequently are insep-
arabic. II took congress a long willie
TO pass an eight-hour a day labo. law.
An government 7sork done by the gov
eminent itself was put on an eight
hour basis long time ago. but it was
only recently that the federal eight
hour law was made TO apply to gov
eminent work contracted for by pri-
yate corporations.
1t is apparent that the present ad-
ministration is fully in sympathy not
only with the eighthour movement.
but with the plea that eight hours
for work. eight hours for play and
eight hours for sleep constitute the
proper living day for man. Secretary
Redfeld OF the department of com
meree probably would not have ex-
pressed himself so freely as he las
on the eight-hour matter if he were
not sure of the sympathy of his chief.

Averaae cost tlas eone Down.

Ten years later. In 1904. the mum
Der Of pieces handled by each employe
during the year had increased to 49,
366, and the average cost per each
mail piece had gone down to 1853 In
1912 the average cost had gone down
to 1874: the number OF employees,
tri1e below that Of 1910, stood at
29o,7o1; the estimated number of mail
pieces handled over 17500.000. 900. and
the number OF pieces handled by each
employe during the year reached high
water with the figure 60,504
The explanation Of this high degree
OF efficiency Is TO be found. according
to Mr.. Lewis. in the fact that the low
postal rates have stimulated business
and have consequently almost auto
matically forced complete utilization
OF the plant obviously" SAYS Mr..
Lewis, the amount of traffic will de
pend on the rate"

Await Report on Lobby.

The lobby investigation matter will
,ome before the house in a sharply
pertinent way before very long. The
members now are awaiting a report
from the judiciary committee on mat
tiers which may lead TO action of some
kind in the case of Representative
James T. McDermott of Chicago and
officers of the National Association of
Manufacturers in connection with the
investigation of the charges which
we're made when the Mulhall lobby
inquiry was on.
II probably will be RENE nbered that

exception of Representative McDer.
mott. in his case the testimony was
laid before the house without any rec.
ommendation and 1t IL taken for
granted apparently that the house will
take some action looking either to
the punishment or to the exoneration
of this Illinois congressman whose
name was so frequently mentioned IN
connection with lobbying activities.
In addition to bills already on the
calendar, there are three other pieces
of legislation certain to come before
this congress which have not yet
reached the calendars of either house.
The first of these is the amendment
TO the antitrust law. which the presi-
dent will recommend to congress in
a special message

AS to Labor Legislation.

Labor legislation is both popular
and unpopular in the house OF rep

senators think that If they vote for

Panama Canal Tolls Again.

The other measures are the La Fol.
lette seamen's BILL which has already
passed the senate. and upon which
hearings have been held by the mer-
chant marine and fisheries committee
of the house. and the Adamson reso-
luton, introduced in the house just
before the Christmas recess, provid.
ing for the suspension for two years
Of that provision in the Panama canal
act which will give to American coast
wise vessels free tolls. The senate
may add one more measure to this
list in the bill introduced by Senator
Williams on the closing day of the
pre-holiday session, providing for the
insurance of bank deposits.
1t is expected that the Adamson
resolution viii start again the fight
over the tolls question which stirred
congress up a year ago. President
Wilson thus far has made no an
nouncement of his leanings in this
matter and IL seems likely that he has
purposely kept from saying anything
about the issue involved because Of
his desire to get the currency bill
out of the way before the other mat
ter was touched upon.

Postal servlce EfficIent.

A high type of efficiency is
claimed for the United States postal
service by Uncle Sans officials,
who are charged with the duty os its ad'
ministration. 1t il said that the single
exception Of Belgium where the traf
fie conditions resemble those of state
rather than those Of a country" the
United States stands at the head of
all countries in operative efficiency.
This is said on the authority Of Rep
resentative Lewis Of Maryland. author
of the parcel post act who has been
digging into the subject
1t is known that Uncle Sans letter
rate of postage is enough to yield
SO 1-3 per cent profit. and the postal
efficiency of this country is attained In
spite of the high prices which must
be paid for material, stamps, paper.
etc, and the much higher wages which
are paid to American postal workmen
than to those who do the same work
in Europe

steady increase In the Service.

Since the year 1856 not only has
the number of pieces of mail. includ.
ing poth domestic and foreign matter,
increased gradually, but the number
of pieces handled by each post office
employe each year has increased.
This increase has been going on while
the average handling individual bits
OF mail has gone down.
From 1886 to 1912 mot only have
the units Of service more than doubled
in size, but city and rural deliveries
have been added, thus virtually dou-
bling the quantity Of the service. Thus
even IL the cost per piece Of mail
naturally had remained stationary ii
would be shown clearly that the cost
actually had gone down"
The number of pieces mailed In
tho year 1886 including domestic and
foreign matter was 3,474.000, 000 while
the number of employees was 12269e
In that year the number of mail pieces
handled by each empioye per annuin
was 2S.3l3. The cost for the average
mail. piece. reckoned in cents. was
LA. Eight years later in 1894, the
number OF employees had increased to
1895, and the number of pieces OF
mail had jumped &c 4.919,090 900. This
resulted in the number of mail pieces
per employe per annum reaching the
figure OF 26.T46. and the cost per
average mail piece becoming. in cent?.
