Harvester Company, on the books at

much she got for it, has come out
lately.
Over at 606 w. Adams street is a
big printing shop where the l. H. G.
has lot of women at work. Women
set type, women run presses and read
proof.
Here Mary Sheetz got job in No
vember, 1910. She set type.
This type is made OF heavy metal
and has lead in it. When the metal
pieces are pushed against each other
thousands of times dust forms.
This dust smudged the fingers of
Mary Sheetz. One way and another
this dust got into her blood.
Nobody told her anything about
how lead dust, kills people.

OF course the adoption of such
rates would inevitably produce a
deficit in postal receipts, and a de-

THE $50,000,O00 AMENDMENT.
Kindel has also championed the
senate amendment which would
deprive the postmaster general of
the power to change the parcels
post rates and regulations without
action by congress.
Congressman Lewis, in opposing
this amendment last January, said:
"If ! owned the express companies
of this country | would feel that |
could afford to expend S5O,OOO,OOO
in order to secure the adoption of
this amendment
That statement was the death

could find half dozen men in
either house who would publicly
support it today.

this change, and it will undoubt-

the country the full benefit of the

EXPRESS COMPANIES FIGHT
OF course the express companies
have fought the postmaster general
every step of the way, and their
plans have been clearly conceived
and executed

del, but it is fact that for more

OF course he has not come out
in the open and opposed the par

He is entirely too clever for that
Instead he has sought to dis
credit the system by declaring that
the rates were too high, that the
men in charge were incompetent
and that congress, the interstate

master general were all in COM
bine to do the people grievous
wrong.

GELS post and one of the ablest men
IN Congress who made crush
ing response to the Denver mans
charges.
The fact is that the development
OF the parcels post is one of the
splendid achievements of the Will
son administration, and Postmas-
ter General Burleson deserves tn
commentator of his countrymen
for the part he has taken in the
work.
Stacking PARCELS POST.
The parcels post bill was passed
by the last congress and became
operative on January |, l9l3-just
two months before Wilson was in
augurated and Burleson became
postmaster general. The latter an
nounced that he wished to expand
the system rs rapidly as possible,
but that he was seriously handi-
capped in two ways:
First-The law provided that
the parcels post rates should be
sufficient to pay the cost of the
service.
Second-The government was
compelled by law to pay the rail
roads as much for hauling the par
GELS post as for hauling ordinary
mail matter. This meant that in
many instances it cost the govern
ment two or three times as much
to transport given package as it
did the express companies.
1t this connection it is well to
explain that the express companies
have an arrangement with the rail
roads by which they pay the roads
about one-half what they receive
for carrying a package, Under
this deal, whenever the interstate
commerce commission slashes eX.
press rates the railroads have TO
stand one-half the cut. This is Il
lovely arrangement for the express
monopoly, but rather hard on the
stockholders of the railroads
When the original parcels post
bill passed the house it contained
provision authorizing the inter
state commerce commission to com
pei the railroads to give Uncle
Sam the same rate they gave the
express companies. TINS pRovIs.
ION WAS STRICKEN OUT IN THE
SENATE.
Now that seems almost unbe-
lievable, but it is true. The rep
resentatives of the people appar-
emily deliberately shackled the
young giant who was to do the
peoples work, and the postmaster
general was compelled to under
take the task of building up par

statute intended to compensate the
railroads for carrying letters, pack
ages, etc.
