WORKERS PRODUCE IT
BUT DON'T OWN IT

The immensely of the valuation of
the properties of the Pacific Tele-
phone & Telegraph company in Wash
ington, now being brought to a sue
cessful conclusion by the public serv-
ice commission, is shown by some
statistics compiled from the engi-
neers' inventories.
Not counting some $500 miles of
drops" or connections between
streets and houses, there are 341, 255
miles of telephone wire used by this
company in the state. The distance
from the earth to the moon, in COM
parisOn, is 23S,S50 miles.
The company owns in whole or in
part, 2101 100 telephone poles, on which
are mounted 21S,S53 cross arms and
some 100000 insulators. The ex-
tent of detailed work necessary in
valuing the poles alone is shown by
the fact that they fall in approx
mately as many classifications as
there are poles there being five stand
ard diameters, % standard lengths.
five different types of installation de-
pending upon the character of the
ground, $50 different conditions de-
pending upon freight rate and dis
lance of haul, and the question of
whether the pole is painter or I'M
painted to be considered in determin-
ing value.
How far ahead of the present the
telephone engineers are building in
their work is shown by the fact that
the ducts in trenches already laid in
the conduit system, are filled now to
less than so per cent of their cable
capacity.
The telephone valuation in Wash
ington will be the first completed by
any western state and will be the
largest single piece of valuation of
any kind ever completed in this state.

A Traitor Magazine

The report of the United States
commission on industrial relations
has received a final vindication in
the form of rebuke and condemna-
ton by THE Survey" a semi-official
organ of professional philanthropists,
published at the United Charities
Bldg, New York.
After delaying comment for four
months, The Survey devotes practi-
cally it's entire issue of Dec. IS to an
elaborate attempt to dlscredit the
Manly report just when that report,
representing the findings and conclu-
sions of the commissions staff is be-
fore congress for action.
The job of rebuking Walsh, Manly
and the labor members of the com
mission is done by John A. Fitch, an
associate editor He devotes the first
installment to the Manly report, and
without denying a single fact or con,
clusion contained in that epoch-mak-
ing document, he manages to discred-
it it to his own satisfaction, as doubt
less to the satisfaction of those more
enlightened exploiters of labor for
whom The Survey is a sort of hired
conscience.
Because he has been much in the
field and is conscientious in small
things, Mr. Fitch knows that the
Manly findings are true. He says
at will be readily inferred by
many that the Manly report is one of
great value, and they will be right.
Never before has any agency of the
federal government issued pro
