ship WORKERS STAND
OUT FOR 8-HCUR DAY

At meeting of the ship carpenters
and cau1kers, which was held at the
S. B. A. hall last night, there were
176 present, all members of the newly
organized men of these trades, and
one of the. outstanding features of
the meeting was the unanimous vote
to stand out for an eight-hour day.
This is reimbursement of a former
vote, and the action was taken, it is
said, when it became known that the
employers had asked that thew be
given until January to meet the de-
mands.
Thus far every act of the body has
been unanimous, and some who talked
about it last night stated this feature
will win, and they all realize that
discussions would undermine all the
progress, they say, that has been ac-
complished.
At the meeting last night, one man
representing the house carpenters,
and another man representing the
machinists, were on hand. The men
on the walkout wished The Journal to
publicly convey the thanks of the or
ganization TO the S. B. A. for the free
use of the hall in which to hold the
meetings; also to the Machfnists for
their publicly expressed endorsement
and cooperation.

OUR ECONOMIC BUGABOo

There is something peculiarly ironic, not
to say pathetic, in the fact that while fuel
is so high and scarce in the north that I'M
doubtedly millions are suffering, and will
suffer from the cold this winter, pine tim
Der in millions of feet is littering the earth
hereabouts as a result of the storm.
Think of coal selling for eighty dollars
a ton in France, while in Holland the ma
jority of peope are eating cold food be-
cause they can not procure fuel enough to
cook it, not to mention the problem of keen
ing warm while with us more wood will
rot in our forests in the next twelve months
than could be burned locally in decade!
OF course it all comes down to prob
lem of distribution, which has ever been a
bugaboo of economists. In southern Flor
ida thousands of boxes of Gull oranges are
thrown on the dump every winter because
it is improbable to ship them, when at the
same time millions of poor people through
out the country are suffering from the need
of fresh fruit.
1t is common throughout the fruit bear
ing district of the north to see whole or
chards of apples peaches and pears going
to waste because of lack Of market, while
millions of our people are denied the privi-
lege through high prices of ever tasting
these delicious fruits.
And teh same is true of vegetables and
hundred and one commodities in daily con-
sumption. The problem is now and always
has been, not production, but how to mar
ket the articles that are produced All Of
which serves to illustrate how crudely our
economic life is organized, and the direc-
ton one of our chief reforms must take in
that delectable period-after the war.

LOCAL EXHIBIT in
FEDERAL MUSEUM

Mayor Thos. Johnson yesterday re-
ceived letter Of which he is very
proud. 1t came from Washington,
and is from r. Rathbun, assistant
secretary, Sithsonian Institute, and it
conveys to the mayor the appreciation
of the institution for the receipt of a
shell specimen Of fossil, Scapharea,
probably a new specimen
This was sent in at the suggestion
of DR.. T. Wayland Vaughan, and the
institution is known as Number 6174S.
It is a curious shell, taken from the
site of where the city was sinking
a well some months ago, and which
was said to have been found at a
depth of more than 200 feet.
For some time the specimen re-
manned on the desk Of Commissioner
Johnson, and one day DR.. Vaughan,
who was visiting in Pensacola at the
time, was In the city hall. He was
interested In the specimen, and stated
that he had for a long time been in
terested in anything Of an archalogi-
cal nature, and when he first saw the
shell, said that it was the most cur
iously-marked of any he had ever
viewed. Upon the suggestion Of the
visitor named, it was explained, it
was sent to Washington, and has been
| accepted and the letter yesterday ex-
presses to the mayor a word Of APP
probation.

sTENoGRAPHERs WANTED

Apparently there is no excuse for une1n-

men or women. It is no longer grand
adventure to get job.
The United States Civil Service Com
mission served notice that the government
is in urgent need of thousands of type
writer operators and stenographers, and
announces that all (both men and women)
who pass the examination ''are practically
assured of certifcation for appointment at
salaries ranging from thousand to twelve
hundred dollars year.
This avenue should open up employment
for many women. Even unequipmcnt is
not serious handicap, because stenog-
raphy and typewriting are not difficult to
learn, a two or three months course N the
average case sufhcing, and a certainty of a
job at the end of the term would be a very
active spur to the effort.

this sort of work is rather nifty wage

GOOD ADVICE TO

Our advice to Governor Cats all
along has been TO cease writing let
tiers, for every time he does so he
puts his foot into very deep hole.
If he were to sit in his office, look
wise and say nothing he would create
a more profound opinion as to his
greatness, but he seems TO be pos
sessed of the idea and obsessed with
the belief that to perform the func-
tions of his office he must act the part
of both Judge and jury, and it is caus-
ing him to constantly show his weak
ness and getting him in trouble

One of the most common foes is
Rheumatism, which attacks with re-

WEST FLORIDA AND HOGS

"A report from tie COillllliooiol elPPoiiie~A
hy Food Controller Hoover TO investigate
the cost OF hog production, and to advise
as TO what IS deemed essentiI to encour-
age production, has recently been made
public.
The report is dscouraging from the
Viewpoint of supply keeping pace with de-
r,and but it should be very encouraging
from the viewpoint Of the farmer and stock
raiser ii West Florida.
The Swine stock Of the country, the re-
ID ts-2tcs, is already shy five million head,
e.. r.1.,lber having fallen from 6o,O0O,OOo,
v'3;9h IS the normal swine population OF
tn ticn. to 50 O00000
"'therc is a marked feeling of uncertain
lis as lent on the part of the producer,
t!9l rnnort states. "This is manifest in the
rrls num- o. Of unfinished hogs now go
t1r.~Fct There is big tendency to
potential breeding stock-breed1ng
hat is essential to further increase.
AGAIN 1--WE believe that definite,
tic action is Immediately necessary
oor, supply of the nation and the ma
allies is to be sufficient to meet de-
MI this refers, Of course, to the price of
which was quoted yesterday at S1.75
islcl. At the same time the price OF
FORK on foot was quoted at Chicago at IL
cents a pound Now the commission found
that it requires twelve bushels of corn to
produce hundred pounds of hog. On that
basis a hundred pounds of hog would cost
S21G0 to produce, and be worth at Chi
cago, s17o0.
Thus the reason is very clearly estaD-
lished why "There is marked feeling OF
uncertainty on the part of the producer,
and likewise why unfinished hogs are
being SO unfortunately marketed.
Now then, we come to the milk in the
cocoanut so far as West Florida is con-
celn-,l. 1t concededly costs less to pro-
duce hogs here than on any Other area IN
America, for the very evident reason that
the climate affords the privilege of Longer
food producing periods, with the twin fact
that the local soil is highly favorable to the
growth OF hog feed, such as peanuts, sweet
potatoes, velvet bears, and SO forth.
And i they can be raised here at low
cost, they can also be finished or fattencd
also at low cost. 1t has been discov cred
that peanut meal is an ideal fattenins TODD.
Peanuts are now .~onh approximately a
dollar and a half bushel, and one bushel
of nuts yields two bushels of meal. So that
for even the limited period ia :teEing food
would be necessary, the 1oca' producers
have the benefit of seventy-fvc cent arti-
Gle as compared with dollar and seventy
FIVE cent article in the corn belt.
These facts should be we'll digestcd by
the farmers of this section, who .lnGoubted-
ly have splendid and rare opportunity
both to serve the nation, and themselves
make financial success.
