study Of various industrial problems

PROMINENT SOCIALIST DE-
CLARES PROHIBITION is
NATIONAL PROBLEM

J. Stitt Wilson, the noted Socialist
and former mayor of Berkeley, Cal, in
speech delivered on February 8, in
San Francisco, declared his belief
that the liquor question is now not
only state but a national issue. We
quote at length from his speech, as
reported in the Oakland Tribune: :.
"Of all the social institutions of
modern society which are now under
the scrutiny of thought and consci-
ence, none is so absolutely without
moral defense as the American sa-
loon and the consequent liquor traffic.
The saloon is an unmitigated curse.
It is a great and terrible evil whose
ravages are unspeakable. 1t is men,
ace to the life and character and well
being of our brother men, who be.
come it's victims. 1t attacks the home
and the fireside, robbing wife and chill
dren of necessities and comforts Of
life, and giving to the father and
breadwinner for his money that which
is worse than nothing.
"The saloon corrupts the lives of
young men, and helps to ensnare
young women and lead them astray

BRYAN INTRODUCES
ALASKAN COAL BILL

CONGRESSMAN Bryan has introduced
a bill in the House Of Representatives
providing for the mining of coal in
Alaska both by the government and
by private interests.
The bill authorizes the President to
organize a service, to be known rs
the Alaska Mining Service, which
shall, under his direction, open, equip,
and operate on the public lands IN
Alaska mines of coal, and to provide
for the distribution and sale of the
products.
Among the important features Of
the bill are provision for the resec-
walton of one-half of the Alaska coal
lands for the government, the balance
to be subject to lease for private op-
GRAFTON under the terms of the act.
The President is authorized to fix
minimum wages and salaries, which
shall correspond to the average wage
paid by the same class of other elh-
ployers working under similar con-
ditions. The maximum price charged
for coal is to be such as will pay a
reasonable net profit on the operation
and a reasonable interest on the phys
ical valuation of the coal mining and
distributing plant.
The bill contains section providing
for profit-sharing with the employees
and the purchasers of the output, for
an eight-hour day and six-day week.
and prohibits the employment of any
person under sixteen years of age. 1t
also authorizes regulations for proper
workmen's compensation in case #

tives. The leasing clause provides
for a payment of Is cents per acre

FIELD FOR THE
EXPRESS COMPANIES

While one express company has
gone out of business because unable
to adjust itself. to the new conditions
created by the parcel post, other com
panies have walked up to the idea that
they have been slothfully neglecting
a promising field because Of the mon.
opoly which they had formerly en-
joyed, and they are now improving
their methods and seeking to take ad-
vantage of that field. They have been
forced by government competition to
make improvements which they never
would have made had it not been for
that competition, and to this extent
the country has benefited.
The neglected field is that of dis.
tribution. It is the one line in which
the century has seen but little i'm.
provement. Here is the situation:
Transportation between cities has
been so improved that the cost OF
moving goods long distances is lower
in the United States than in any 9th.
er country in the world. But the cost
OF moving goods from the terminal to
the consumer in the city was never
higher than it is now.
A ton of goods can be moved 300
miles by rail for less cost than the
same ton can be moved few blocks
in the city. Pound for pound, it costs
ten times as much to move a pas
senger between cities as it does to
move freight. In the city passeng.
err can be carried many miles for a
scent piece. It will cost him ten
times as much to move his trunk. ,ot
the same weight, few blocks.
The express companies which are
waking up to their opportunities are
starting to handle goods, not only
along the lines of communication be,
tween cities but within the limits OF
the cities, to an extent which they
never before have done. If they per
feet the system they may develop d
distribution which may approximate
to that Of the street car service for
moving passengers. 1t is field in
which economies and profits are both
possible. Seattle P.-I.
