PAPER MANUFACTURERS URGED
TO CREATE RESERVE SUPPLY

CHAIRMAN HURLEY, Of the
I Federal Commission, has made
~ public a statement he deliv-
cred Thursday to a meeting of the eX-
ecutive committee of the News Print
Manufacturers Association in New
York, which met to consider the COM
missions proposals for means to pro-
tect smaller newspaper publishers
who are dependent on the open mar
ket for their print paper and who are
I in danger of being cut off from their
supply. Chairman Hurley said:
II cannot impress upon you too
strongly the critical situation now con-
fronting these smaller dailies and
weeklies, who have built up a circu-
lation of a few hundred or a few
thousand subscribers on the basis of
an outlay for paper of from two to
three cents q pound and who are now
obliged to pay in many cases more
than six cents.
I'm fairness I should say that such
unreas enable and burdensome prices
are usually for sales through jobbers,
who in some instances appear to be
making excessive profits. According
to reports recently received the sales
men of one such house have been urg-
| ing publishers to buy at five and half
cents, telling them that the price will
soon be seven cents and possibly ten
| cents per pound.
| Protection For Small Publisher
you may say that this is none OF
| your concern, that you are not party
to such transactions and have no re-
sponsibilities in the matter. But is not
| that a narrow and selfish view to
take? 1t is to your interest as well
as to the interest of the public that
the newspapers of the country be pre-
vented from suspending publication
on account of paper shortage OIL
prohibitive price. The commission
feels that your association through
cooperative action can do much tc
bring this about by putting a paper
supply into the open market. 1t has
no power or desire to compel such ac-
ton, but feels that it has duty i'm
posed upon it by Congress to use its
good offices in behalf of the publish
ers who do not have contracts ant
are therefore dependent upon the
market.
"The reason why such high price:

There is nothing of the weather vane
in Charles e. Hughes. He does not
change his opinions over night for the
sake of political expediency. In his
Nashville speech he denounced, in un-
equivocal terms. the surrender of the
principle of arbitration in industrial
controversies, and declared his advo-
cacy of executive and legislative action
based upon facts rather than fear.
President Wilson tried to cater to the
labor union vote; Hughes stood for the
application of the principle of arbitra-
tion, not in the interests of employers or
employees, but in the interest of all the
people. Time and experience will dem
onstrate the wisdom of Hughes atti-
tude, and the day is not far distant
when the unions themselves will real
ize that Wilson's course was dictated
by what seemed to him to be political
expediency rather than far sighted
craftsmanship.

APoLITICAL GOLD BRICK

GOtiN HAYS HAM MMOND, the dis
tinguished engineer, has given
his views at some length to a
New York newspaper upon President
Wilson's so-called eight hour law. He
does not believe the law will prove
as popular as generally believed; that
it will certainly not be popular among
the agriculturists and many other
classes of labor. Mr.. Hammond says
that even with the railroad employees
many Objectionable features will be
found when the law is applied. AS
Congress has assumed the right to in
crease wages, he believes that it will
undoubtedly have also the right to re-
duce wages in certain contingencies.
For this reason he says many believe
the law to be a political gold brick.
Further considering the effects of the
new law, Mr.. Hammond says:
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-09-19

Mr.. Hammond emphasizes the con-
ditions which will prevail at the close
of the European war and every wage
Garner, he points out, is directly in
terested In the development of our
foreign trade because it affords en-
ployment at home and every citizen,
whatever may be his vocation, is di-
rectly interested in greater or less
degree because the development of a
great foreign trade immeasurably en-
hances the welfare of the country.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-09-19

From the point of view of politi-
cal eXpediency the measure is a
failure. 1t will lose for the Demo-
cratic administration the support
of a great number of independent
voters. who are more concerned
with the maintenance of American
principles than with partisan ad-
vantage.
Nor will it avail to secure the
labor Vote-so- o-called-since the
wage-earners are a patriotic and
Independent body capable of doing
their own thinking, and jealous OF
any dictation by labor leaders, es-
pecially for political considerations.
In short, the so-called labor vote
cannot be delivered by labor lead
ers of either party. Wage earners
resent such imputation.
The record of the Republican
party on labor legislation will ap-
peal to wage -earners quite as forcr-
bly, as that of the Democratic
party, and Governor Hughes proved
conclusivelg during his administra-
tion as Governor of New York that
he is sincerely desirous of better
ing the condition of labor.

RECRUITING THE ARMY.

Passing a law increasing the size
of the standing army to more than
20o'0G0 men is one thing and secur-
ing the men TO make up that army
Is quite another and different thing.
In the absence OF any provision OF
law requiring compulsory military
service, how are we going to get
recruits for the new army?
According TO evidence recently
given before a congressional commit
tee, last year there were 10000 APP
plcants for admission to the army. Of
whom. $4,000 We're. rejected and
about $4,000 accepted. one reason
given for this showing Is said to be
the high standard set for rccruits--a
standard that takes into considera-
ton both physical ana moral fitness
for service and requires that the
recruit must he an American citizen
or must have taken out first papers.
Considerable difficulty has been ex-
perlenced in keeping the present In
adequate army up TO the strength
provided by law. How much more
difficult may we expect It TO be to
fill the ranks of the new army2
10 lower the standard for enlist
mcnt would be deplorable. The NOR
ale Of an army IL every bit as i'm
