tious and imperialistic and encourage
the democratic forces.
have no doubt at all that these in
vestigations here at home were begun
in good faith and carried on in non
partisan way and that they have been
helpful in disclosing some of the mis-
takes of our war preparation up to
this time.
But it would be unfortunate if this
discussion relative to the war depart
ment and other departmental affairs
should continue an hour longer than
is necessary to get at the exact facts
and the remedy.
There can be but one legitimate OBJ
ject to be attained by investigations
and that is to locate the errors of or
ganization with view of correcting
them at once.
1t is not at all surprising that in so
great task as confronted US in the
preparation for war, mistakes should
be made, but it would be discouraging
and surprising il we should unneces-
sarily delay in coming together and
uniting as one for the correction of
these plans and eliminating the I'M
wise policies.

resulting from the more serious tieup

manufacturing centers, the steel and

The movement in shippings was at
tributed to rumors of forthcoming de.
velopments beneficial to those issues.

of five points, Atlantic gulf 81, Pac-

United States steel was again under
constant pressure, its partial rally in
the final hour failing to hold Steel
closed at a net loss Of almost a point
and aliedl industrials, motors, oils,

one to two points.
Rails were under the additional
handicap imposed by the differences
between operators and employees, but

CUT DOWN
SHIPMENTS
IS ORDER

In order that railroads may be re-
lieved of oyercrowded transportation
and to prevent congestion in traffic
such as has occurred in the past, the
Rock Island lines had adopted q
scheme by which shipping can be
cut to the minimum in compliance
with the governments wishes J. G.
Elgin OF Oklahoma City travelling
freight agent for the Rock Island
lines, who was in Chickasha today
stated A thorough campaign that
will strike all local industries to CO.
operate with the director general of
the lines is already on, says Mr. El-
gin.
THE general working order Of the
scheme as outlined by the United
States Railroad association headed
by VIM. G. McAdoo is to induce all in
Gustries to store provisions to meet
their own winter needs" said the
freight agent, "and the future diff
culties Of transportation are TO be
impressed upon all shippers Of freight.
Coal should be secured now while
summer operating conditions are good
and ell kinds OF fuels stored
THE shipment of lumber for all
purposes must be curtailed as much
as possible and lumber yards are be-
ing urged to put in a winter stock
now in order to leave all lines free to
handle the mammoth government
shipping problem during the cold
weather"
Roads cf the central western part
of the United States are sending out
freight agents everywhere to press
the need of thorough organization
upon jobbers, wholesalers, and even
retailers. This month is considered
the critical period in the nations
shipping program preparatory for
winter, according to Mr.. McAdoo's
advices to the railroad chiefs
