SURPLUS OF FREIGHT CARS SHOWS
BETTERMFNT IN EMBARGO SITUATION
Railroads of Country Had 1850 Not in Use April L.
Against Shortage of 20,551 Month Previous.
Anthracite Coal Shipments Larger

Concrete evidence of the Improvement
In the embargo situation throughout the
country is furnished by the idle-car state
ment Of the American Railway Association
as of April 1. on that date there was a
net surplus of cars for all railroads Of
$3.50. This compared with a net shortage
Of 20.551 on March 1. an increase of
242O1.
This statement tends TO show that the
efforts of the railroads, the Federal and
state commissions and commercial bodies
to persuade consignees to unload cars
promptly has had some effect on the
general embargo situation IL is also
known that the work of the Presidents
Committee on freight accumulation i'm the
East has greatly reduced the number OF
cars held for unloading, particularly in
New England
Continued expansion Is reported in the
shipments of anthracite coal. The state
ment for March, MS made up by the An
thracite Bureau of Information, came out
today. 1t showed total shipments for
the month of 6,t2I351 long tons, an In
crease of LOSE, ,05S tons as compared with
the same month last year.
The total shipments for the three

MERGENTHALER AND LINOTYPE
Family Receives $50 for Every Machine
Produced By Company.

In July, 1886. the first entirely salts
factory typesetting machine was set up
in the office of the New York Tribune,
where the late Hon. Whitelaw Reid, him
self a printer, editor OF the Tribune, am
bassador to England, and one OF the
contributors of capital to the linotype
enterprise, named it 'thc linotype"
Since that time the chief strain on the
nerves of the managers has been to turn
the machines out fast enough to supply
the trade. In 1889 the big profits of the
company began to roll in, and have been
rolling in right along ever since, despite
active competition. That year the Trib-
une saved $4,000 in its composing room,
while other users were proportionately
fortunate. Mergenthaler was now re-
ceiving as his share of the business $50
royalty for each machine made, whereas
his previous contract had netted him
Sl20 on each machine. He always felt,
it is said, that he made a poor bargain
in consenting to the change in contract
and so he did. But he made it; and
it was profitable, nevertheless, and has
been lived up to on both sides. The roy
atty is still paid to his family.-lnland
Printer.
Denver labor bulletin., 1916-02-26

Organized less than two year ago,
the Denver Manufacturers association
has become one of the leading. II not
the first, civic institution OF the city.
1t has taken upon and successfully car
ried on an important work hitherto neg
lccted by the Chamber OF Commerce and
other organizations supposed TO have for
their purpose the advancement of the
city's growth and prosperity.
Work for Colorado workers and pat
ronage of home industries has been the
insistent propaganda of the association.
The organized working people Of Den
Yer have co-operated in large meaurc
with the association in this campaign,
because it has been the means OF open
ing opportunities of employment Every
purchaser of Colorado made goods be-
comes an employer OF Colorado labor and
expands the pay roll.
Manufacturers, merchants. trade un-
lonists and many professional men have
been quick TO note the new spirit Of co,
operation engendered by activities of the
association. and the membership has
grown until every live manufacturer, big
or little, has affiliated and become a
booster. This feeling has extended to
the consumer, with the result that to-
day Colorado made goods are no longer
dug up from hidden recesses Of stores
when called for, but are placed in show
cases and on front counters to be
pushed by statesmen.
All over Denver today, on bill boards
and in public places, offices and store.
rooms are to be found large placards,
similar to the illustration in this arti-
Gle, in red. white and blue, patriotic col
ors, impressing upon all the duty OF
patronizing home industries. It's a cam.
paigD that counts and is aiding Colorado
to gain front position as n manufac-
turing center.
There are many live wires in the Den
ver Manufacturers association, but its
wonderful growth and success is due in
large measure to the untiring and un:
selfish efforts of its president, w. J. IL
Doran, who is on the job day and night
1t was upon his recommendation that
the association has voted by an over.
whelming majority not TO give up its
identity and enter the civic merger
scheme until something definite is shown
as to what would be the fate of the as.
sociation in the future.
Working people Of Denver and thru.
out Colorado are in thoro accord with
the association and its plans. Home in
