No Wages For Employes During En-

New York, Jan. 1S.-The United States Steel Corporation, the biggest industrial concern in the world, de- cided yesterday that it would not pay the wages of employees when the lat ter are not actually working after an all day session of conferences and te1ephoning and telegraphing in an effort to find out just how far the fuel proclamation of Dr. Garfield would reach. Other conferences were held throughout the financial district on the same question but decisions were not made public up to a late hour.
 In making the announcement yes terday Judge Ebert H. Gary, chair man of the board of the Steel Corpo- ration, said:
 We shall probably not pay the wages of our men when they are not actually employed. To do so would be contrary to the custom of the

might desire and Interference with their use of it was unjust.
 The direct loss to the nation through the Garfield order, Senator Reed thought, was certain to fall heaviest upon the wage oarners. He pointed this out in a brief summary f figures. He said
 "The order for a fifteen day cessa- jon of business and industrial ac- fvity means the cessation of nearly 100000 operatives being stopped. fut we are informed there are nu- herous exceptions to the list and, therefore, let us assume practically .alf the industries are put out of .ction for the period of ten days. In Fher words 5,000,000 wage earners +op earning for fifteen days That
 the equivalent of 75,000,0OO men looping work for one day, and on De basis of an earning power, of $3 day this means a stoppage of wages Egregating $225, 100000.
 Tt is estimated the ratio of the cost
 labor to the value of the produc- pn of industry is approximately one
 six. This means the wealth of the [Ition is actually curtailed, set back. rough this utterly reasonless halt in
 Oduction of a total of $1,35OOOO
 Jones Calls for Rally

 order to protect the domestic SUD-

 austry for its function of supplying
 forces overseas and our Allies. He
 akened little sympathy and was
 errupted seldom. The senate
 med anxious to get to a vote, and
 appeal had hardly ended before B roll call was on. Dnly Senator Hitchcock, author of
 resolution, interrupted long |ough to say there was as much con- on sense in the argument industry ould shut down when there was al to be burned as for the food dic- tor to order the people of the east n section of the United States should It eat for week., An analysis of the vote indicated lmerous peculiar developments of q ,litical nature. The lineup against 1 e president for vote on the Hitch l 'ck resolution could be accepted as 'thing if not a frank intimation to 1 e White House that the fuel admin l trators act was deemed too radical. 1 ne number included such noted , aders of democracy as Floor Leader artin Va.), Senator Underwood Ala.), Salisbury (DeL), president 1 o tenn. of the senate; Wolcott, l lrd and fast administration man; llman (S.

 On the other hand the two repub- ans most opposed in debate and ac- on to the views of the president in ost matters, Senator Gronna CIV. D., Id La Toilette (Wis.), seemed to take e present juncture as an excellent ne in which to stand by the presi- ,nt,' and they did so.

MUCH OIL INTEREST

The Empire Oil and Gas Co. took
leases on thousands Of acres of land
around Tyrone about one year ago
and they are paying the first yearly
rental now A company of this size
would not continue to hold their
leases from year to year if they did
not think there was oil here. A
number of biologists have been maxi
ing reports on their findings and they
all report the prospects fine. In some
of the oil fields east Of here they have
wells producing from 20 to 80 bar
rels per day, the anticline has a rise
of only 10 to 20 feet, while in Texas
county it is no uncommon thing to
find an anti-cline with rise of so #.
An expert who has travelled over
the country extensively says the for
nation here is very much like that
of the oil fields of Tampico where the
wells flow thousands Of barrels a day,
in fact the pressure is so great they
are only allowed to flow at short in
tervals to save the casing.
In very short time we expect to
see many cars of casing, drilling rigs
and tools unloaded at Tyrone.-Ty-

ARE YOU A Stacker?

Are you doing your bit for your
country
Since this terrible war swept the
land?
Are you doing much more than you
did before?
And great deal more than you
planned?
Are you planting war gardens many,
And knitting for soldiers, too?
If you are not you'd better get busy
For you are not true blue.
You men who have power with
money,
Go to work and do what you can,
Leave of those hours of enjoyment,
And work and save and plan.
You women instead Of crocheting,
And dancing and going to teas,
Stop all those silly fandangles,
And work harder for the Red Cross,
please.
Now you little silly, primping girlies,
Instead of so many beaus,
Go to work in the Red Cross dressing
room,
And quit wearing so many swell
clothes.
Just think of your loved ones
Who've gone cover there"
And all who ego over the top"
So this gum-chewing, showgoing and
dancing time
Must suddely come to a stop.
Now my boys I'll not miss you either.
For you are no better than us,
Go to saving up all your money,
Without making terrible fuss
For some day now you may be in big
brothers place
Fighting somewhere in France.
So do your duty in your younger days
And while you are given the chance.

RAISED THE RATES

We note in the last issue of the
Public Utilities Bulletin that the APP
plication of the Liberal Telephone
Company for permission to increase
rates has been granted.
We cannot help but be surprised
at the action of the commission, but
raising rates seems to have become
such habit with corporations that
the Board has evidently become ac-
customed to granting them.
Just what raise was granted we do
not know, nor do we know anything
further than that the application for
a raise was granted. The Bulletin
gave but meager information on the
subject. Inasmuch as the state pays
for printing The Bulletin it would
seem that the complete information
should be given, but where the pub
lie is concerned there is little cour-
tesy shown.
The granting of this increase leads
us to wonder what the real purpose of
the Utilities Commission might be.
Originally, we are told, it was to
safeguard the public as against pub
lie service corporations, but we are
of the opinion that Liberal is better
able to cope with the situation than
the Board. 1t begins to look as though
the Board was created for the pur-
pose of helping these utilities to put
across their deals, and where the
action is as it is in this case it looks
as if they were capable of doing a
good job.
In the first place a public utility
is practically guaranteed immunity
from competition. They are accord
ed the use of the streets and allies
and are told to go ahead and do their
best and the state will see that no
one comes along and starts up in OPP
position to them. They the state ac-
cepts their own statements or the
statements of engineers hired and
paid by the corporation as evidence
as to their expenses and earnings.
That the people petition against an
increase, prove that service is not
what it should be and give the COM
mission every ground to refuse the
increase-yet allowed. Just where
does the public come in?
If we remember correctly the Lib
eral Telephone Company showed by
the estimate made by their engineer
that their plant was worth $4,000.
We are told that on direct examina-
ton the management claimed an in
vestment of $4,000. Which OF
these figures was finally accepted we
do not know, but are inclined to think
that the last named would be plenty
high enough. However, that is a
matter for investigation.
Under the law the company is al
lowed interest on the investment, de-
probation and salary for the mana
ger. The depreciation usually allow
ed is usually per cent and interest
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1918-06-27

8 per cent. The manager of the
Libe al plant is supposed to receive
salary. of $1,000 per year. Figur-
ing on a basis of per cent for in
terest and per cent for deprecia-
tiop and the. salary allowance as
stated above, the owner of the Lib
eral plant would receive somethink
like $4,000, per year on basis of
$51, 900 valuation. This is clear, af-
ter all expenses have been paid.
It appears to us that during these
war times when everything is hitt-
ing the high spots that this is pref
ty fair revenue. We are of the opin-
ion that there are mighty few bust
nesses in this town that are paying
as well as this, and we also think
that the people should not be called
upon to dig so strong. If business
can make salary and depreciation
during this war it is enough, and the
raise granted should only provide for
that much. This can be readjusted
when the war is oyer and conditions
are back to normal.
We are told that at the hearing the
referee said that the rates would be
tried out for a period of six months
and that at the end of that time
another hearing would be held to
determine whether or not they would
be made permanent. Whether or
not this is the case we--cannot say,
but if it is the people of the town
and country should get together and
find out for themselves whether or
not is justified. When the price is
finally set there is little chance for
changing it, and should it be found
that the increase asked is too great
it should be met with remonstrance.

REPLIES TO GERMANY
David Lloyd George Scorns Peace
at Expense of Russia.
British Premier Says Colonies VIII
Have Voice in Determining
Final Settlement.

London, July Is. - Premier David
Lloyd George answered Germany's re-
Gently renewed peace offensive with
the declaration that the war must not
end with one square yard added to
Germanys territory.
'"The god of brute force must this
time forever be broken and burnt in
its own furnace" the premier declared.
This was taken as England's reply
to recent efforts of German statesmen
by which the war would be ended with
concessions to the Western Allies, pro-
vided Germany was left free to ex-
plot her conquest in Russia.
There must no hugger-mugger
peace" Mr.. Lloyd George said. ut
must be a real peace. We are not
waging war for the sake Of killing or
being killed, but for the sake of es-
tablishing just and durable peace for
the world. You cannot make peace un-
less it is both just and likely to en-
dure." ~
The prime minister, who spoke at
a dinner given in his honor by Cana
dian editors who are visiting England,
announced that governments of British
dominions will have voice in deter
mining the terms Of peace.

Senate Passes House Resolution
Giving the President That
Authority.
ACTION IS UNCERTAIN
Cabinet Officers Intimate That Gov.
eminent May Soon Take Ad-
vantage of the Powers
Just Granted.

Washington, July 15.-President Viii.
sons request for authority to take over
and operate telegraph, telephone, cable
and radio lines has been granted by
congress.
BY a vote of 46 to 16-the minority
all Republicans-the Senate adopted,
without amendment, the House reSolu-
ton granting such power for the per-
iod Of the war.
All Amendments Defeated.
All attempts to amend or modify the
administration measure which passed
the House July by a vote of 221 to
4 were defeated. Amendments by Sen
ator Watson of Indiana to except tele-
phones and press wires from the reso-
luton were defeated respectively, Al
to 20 and SO to 81.
An amendment by Senator Gore Of
Oklahoma, Democrat, to limit action
regarding telephones to long distance
wires was voted down, while an amend
ment by Senator Reed of Missouri, de-
signed to secure unrestricted use OF
public facilities was twice rejected.
Although the statements of the cabi-
net officers indicated that the powers
might be used as soon as granted,
there has been no announcements as
to just what the President intends to
do or when.
During debate on the resolution 1t
was said the government would take
over only trunk lines and connecting
systems, leaving to their own manage
ments the thousands of rural and small
independent systems throughout the
country.
