ALL EMPLOYERS URGED
Col. George Pope. Declares Manufac,
turers Must Take Page From
Book of Labor"

Col. George Pope, treasurer of the Pope
Manufacturing Company of Hartford
Conn, is in favor of an employers union.
according to the New York Times.
He believes that capital must take a
page out of the book of labor; It must
unionize." He believes that "an en-
ployers' union, nationwide in its scope,
is essential to the conservation of Amer
lean industry-as essential to labor as
1t is to capital"
Col Pope is a man. says the New York
Times. whose experience, success, and
recognition in our industrial life and
whose services to the country as citizen
and soldier make his opinion worthy OF
thoughtful consideration, both from the
standpoint of business efficiency and pa
triotic impulse.

These vest pieces are cut on the straight

is all that is necessary. The deep

completes a waist which may be used

Tunic of Georgette Grape.
The old skirt of Grape meteor was
shortened slightly and the new tunic
of Georgette Grape gathered at the waist
concealed its narrow gored-lines. A band
of brown fur Is set on this tunlc. Fur
is invaluable as a make-oVer adjunct
because it adds an attraction to a gown
which could not be obtained without
considerable expense IL the fur is newly
purchased. However, there are many
good limitations and dyed pelts which
make attractive trimming. so even If
newly purchased this band of fur need
not be prohibitive in price. This class
of fur trimming will be in greater de-
mand than ever this winter. Small bits
of embroidery like that on the sleeve,
finished with loops of seal brown gros-
grain ribbon. are set at intervals on the
tunic back and front.

Situation Summed Up.

Mr.. Palmer summed up the situation
IN a bulletin which he sent out to all
members of the association:
TO secure competitive market, 1t
is necessary that each newspaper re-
duce the number Of pages Of many, If
not all, editions, as well as eliminate
all returns and other waste.
"A competitive market. II secured i'm
mediately, means for every one a supply
OF paper at cost OF production plus a
fair manufacturers profit.
AN oversold, noncompedtivs market
which will prevail unless all practice
every economy, viii result in some pub
fishers having to pay exorbitant prices,
such as are asked and paid in many
cases today, and will be the cause of
many, II not all, being obliged to pay
in future price far in excess Of cost OF
production.
The remedy is in your hands.
What are you going to do about it?''
In the course of an interview Mr..
Palmer also pointed out the difficulties
in the way Of any other policy but an
economic one.
TT Is obvious that a normal paper
market and normal prices will prevail,
only by reducing consumption to a point
we'll below production" he said Econ
ony Is the only way to meet this situa-
tion. The paper mills are running on
three etght-hour shifts a day. six days
week now, and they cannot keep up
with demands at this. the slack season Of
the year
AN effort to induce the men n vo-k
Sundays resulted in failure. They COM
planned of the reduction Of the tarIff
on print paper. and claimed that in
past years when the American min.
were idle three or four days a wael-
American publishers had cared so Mt
tie about the livlihood Of the mill
workers that they had been willing to
import paper from Germany at cents
a pound-an interesting statement in
view of the fact that Germany's ban
ner year for exporting paper to this
country, 1909. shows a total Of s28
tons.
Reduced Consumption as Remedy.
Reduction of consumption is ALL
that we can do. Papers which have
adopted this policy report good re-
suits. Cutting off returns, a some
what drastic step, results at first in a
loss of circulation, but this loss IA
soon made up. and the saving in vast
age is enormous in the long run. OF
course, though. it is not fair to ex-
pect the small papers in small cities

neighbors persist in granting this
privilege. 1t is necessary for the lar
ger papers to lead the way in this, as
in other reforms
The situation is one that. must be
met at once. There is no use for the
present in talking over the causes.
We have something more concrete to
grapple with. After the war, there
is no doubf that the fpportS ~ aa..-

emption to paper costing up 10 5 cents

Some Mills Playing Fair.

Some mills, on the other hand, are
playing fair and have announced their
intention to renew contracts at $50 4
ton, but it is safe to say that unless
something unforeseen occurs to miti-
gate the shortage. the seriousness Of
the present famine" will become more
pronounced as the autumn months ar
rive. Conditions in the paper trade
reminiscent Of the days OF the civil
war, when, in February. 1866, the price
was more than "A cents pound.
There Is no desire upon the part OF
newspaper publishers to resort to the
expedienCy of increased advertising
rates and sale prices, and in order to
avert such a radical measure the cam
paign for economy is being pushed
steadily under the general guidance OF
1. E. Palmer, manager OF the American
Newspaper Publishers Association. and
men like Victor +. Lawson, OF the Chi
cago Daily News, who was instru-
mental in bringing the New York and
Philadelphia publishers together in a
joint agreement to reduce their paper
consumption. OF course, it is not pos
sible for smaller cities to make
such a showing, but il the papers
throughout the country went at the
situation in the same spirit there would
be, 1t is believed. a speedy end OF the
famine.

HIGH COST OF Paper
Worries PUBLISHERS
Price of White Material Advances Al
most 300 Per Cent-Strict
Economy Is Watchword.

The shortage of news-print paper, the
stock upon which the daily news publica-
tions of the country are printed, has be-
come so serious, because Of the unprece-
dented demands for advertising space in
all cities, that the newspaper publishers
are being forced to unusual measures to
meet the situation, says the New York
Evening Post.
Under the leadership OF the American
Newspaper Publishers Association, an Or
ganized campaign Is being conducted for
the purpose Of driving home to publish
ers the necessity for practicing rigorous
economy IN the use of paper. Already
hundreds Of newspapers have cut on their
Exchange lists, abolished returns" and
educed the size OF their editions, and it
anticipated by many pei sons who have
tudied the problems tnat IN numerous
ases il will be necessary for newspa-
ers to increase their advertising rates
nd sale price.
This Is because, with the shortage OF
Etock, it is charged that some of the pa
per mills have taken advantage OF the
difficulties of the publishers in numerous
instances to raise arbitrarily their prices
10 such an extent as to be almost pro-
hibitive. For instance, while paper a year
ago was selling (. o. b. at the mill at SIS
a ton, today there is talk Of some mills
raising the price to $l=O and $40, and
carloads are now being offered at $50 and
80 ton.

RAILROAD ORDERS

Over six times as many locomo-

freight cars have been ordered by
the railroads OF the United States in
the first three months Of 1916 as were
ordered In January, February and
March OF last year, according to a
compilation published by the Railway

GOOD ROADS DAY IS

Friday, May 10, Will be Such in liit-

Message.

In a proclamation issued. Governor
Dunno, designates Friday, May 10, as
Good Roads Day" in Illinois and rec
ommends that on the above date the
activities Of the day consist Of practt-
cal and systematical work on the pub
lie highways of the state. and further
that the schools Of the state, IN har-
mcny with the spirit of the day, ar
range for good roads" programs.
These programs, says the governor, II
possible, should consist of the reading
of good roads literature to the pupils
and an address by some one compe-
tent to talk upon the subject.
The proclamation in part follows:
Three years ago there was inaug-
urated In Illinois the custom OF ded-
icating one day in the year to the
worthy cause OF highway improve
ment, and SO now, again this year. 1t
becomes both my duty and my pleas
ure to designate such day
"Since the enactment Of the Tice
road law, in 1913, public sentiment
for better roads has grown 80 rapidly
that today it is not confined to one
locality only, but Is statewide In Its
scope. :.
1T is no longer necessary to call
your attention to the need OF improv--
ing our public highways. That need
you have already realized, and the
realization is slowly but surely pulling
Illinois out OF the mud. Apathy toward
road Improvement has given way to
enthusiasm, and this enthusiasm is
resulting in systematic and well d1-
rected efforts toward the elimination
of the ideal which we have placed
before us-better roads for Illinois.
Our state highway commission
created by the law Of 1913. has been
steadily working on the construction
of the state aid system Of roads which
the law contemplates. Today they
report that $50 miles of this system
has been completed and that the plans
call for the construction of some 41o
miles during this year. Add to these
facts. the enthusiasm with which
many counties, townships and dis
tricts are advocating bond issues for
road building purposes and you can
begin to realize to what proportions
the good roads movement has grown.
