PLENTY OF TANK CARS.

Washington, Aug. 20.-By expedit-
ing the movement of oil tank cars in
the mid-continental field, the railroad
administration has made the existing
cars do extra work so that it will not
be necessary to build most of the
fifteen thousand additional tank cars
previously ordered from car builders
by oil companies. In announcing this
today the railroad administration ex-
planned that sufficient tank cars are
now on hand at refining stations to
provide for needs of 4S hours in al-
vance and consequently refiners are
enabled to supply the trade on shorter
rations then ever before.

Labor Board Rebukes
Bethlehem Steel Co.

New York, Dec. 9.-The National
war labor board made public here
last night an order denying the re-
quest of the Bethlehem Steel Company
that the boards examiners be with
drawn from the company's machine
shops, and that it be permitted to
make the necessary arrangements
of our working forces to meet the
new peacetime conditions"
The order. which was in the form
of a letter to L. G. Grace, president
of the Bethlehem Steel Company is
signed by William Howard Taft and
Basil NJ. Manley, joint chairmen OF
the board. 1t takes sharp issue with
Mr.. Grace's statement that the COM
pany Is unable to adopt" the finding
of the examiners in favor of the ma
chine shop employees, "as it was pre-
ceded by the cessation of hostilities."
The board characterized his letter
as "a refusal to respect the authority
of the war labor board" which, 1t is
declared. will continue until Presi-
dent Wilson proclaims the signing of
the peace treaties, and insists that
it's findings be carried out fully and
promptly"
Mr.. Grace's attitude. the board held,
invoices the good faith not 6nly of
the Bethlehem Steel Company. but of
the government as well.
Asserting that it's action 81 assum-
ing supervision of labor problems at
the Bethlehem plant resulted from
representations of war department
officials that conditions in the Beth
lehem Steel Company were greatly en-
dangering the successful prosecution
of the war;" the board said it ex-
erted every resource to keep the men
at work. Mr.. Grace. 1t was said. per-
sonally approved a system of col
lective bargaining which brought
about greater industrial effort on the
part of the workers.
"You now wish to repudiate that
system of collective bargaining" the
says, "and ask that
the boards xemainers be withdrawn"
"The findings of the board do not
require you to continue in your en-
ployment any man whose services
are no longer needed because of the
cancellation of war contracts The
board does require. however. that you
carry out in good faith the findings
of the board upon the basis of which
your employees consented to remain
at work, and thus maintained the
production and profits of your COM
pany
IF the award should now be repu-
dated your workmen would have
every reason to feel that they had
been deceived and grossly imposed
upon by the company, by the war
labor board and by other govern
ment officials who persuaded them
to remain at work on the assurance
that they would be justly dealt with"

STATE TO PROBE
COST OF PLAGUE
Health Department Will Take
Steps TO Ascertain Influ-
enza Expense

Steps to ascertain just what the
recent influenza epidemic cost the
keystone state will be undertaken
within the next week by the State
Department of Health in the form
of survey which will reach into all
activities in communities. 1t will
be launched just as soon as the
questionnalres regarding the num-
Der of children that have been left
orphans or partly orphaned by the
plauge are received and will go
into social, economic and other
phases. The public cost will
be ascertained through official
| organizations will be sought. Peo-
pie at the Capitol say that the sur
vey will be the first of the kind ever
attempted in the country.
A statement issued at the Depart
ment of Health says Professor
j. p. Lichtenberger of the Wharton
| School of the University of Pennsyl-
vania has been engaged to under
take this work and lGRge corps of
| clerks, stenographers and other
officers of the State Department of
AlCcllil nave bCtIl u CO-
operate in gathering the data neces-
! sary to determine this cost. Inquir-
les will be sent out during the COM
ing week to physicians. health off,
| GERS, undertakers and nurses and
| later to the heads of various bust
nesses and industries. Careful esti-
mates as to the loss of life in the
various age groups and in various
| occupations will be made. Esti-
| mates as to the duration of fatal
and nonfatal illness with the loss
of earning capacity will also be
worked out in detail. The cost in
actual loss of life will be determined
in the various age groups and even
details as to the cost of burial will
| be carefully itemized together with
tabulation including loss of time
of friends and relatives attending
| funerals.
Studies will be made as to the
! cost of nursing, doctors fees and
medication. Business losses in the
line of production, mining, manu-
featuring transportation, retail
business, theaters, saloons, hotels
and restaurants, and finally a tabu-
lation will be made of the eXpendi-
lures made by the State Department
of Health in association with other
state agencies and by the local
boards of health and local commit
tees in charge of emergency hos
pitals. If possible the losses in pub
lie education will also be deter
mined and a method will be worked
out for ascertaining the per capita
cost of the epidemic.
Professor Lichtenberger has al
ready begun this important work
and the results of his investigation
will be made known from time to
time as fast as the data is received
and compiled. When the work is
completed a full report will be
made public.
'Dr. B. Franklin Roger, acting
Commissioner of Health, asks thai
all citizens of Pennsylvania who re-
ceive letters from the department
asking for information and data
concerning the cost of the epidemic
will please cooperate with the de.
partment of health by furnishing
this information as completely as
possible and without unnecessary
delay"
