NO Benefit TO THEM
Transfers Protest Recent Raise in the
Price OF Coal.

Price OF GOAL
Resolutions have been passed by the
Topeka Transfers, union protesting
against the recent hike in the price
of coal It is claimed by the team
sters that the raise was secured on the
grounds of increased wage demands
for hauling and unloading. Such as
sertions were a part OF the recon-
mendations made by Danner in his re-
port to Emerson Carey, altho the wage
side was only one factor.
However, according to the team
sters, they have not had raise since
last year. and are unable to live on
the wages they are now receiving.
They allege that some Of the dealers
are not only paying low wages. but
also that they are taking advantage of
the government permission to charge
SO cents per ton for wheeling coal
into houses from the curbings and
then doing a little small scale profit
eering by only paying the man doing
the work 35 cents.
During the FLU" epidemic the union
was compelled to pay benefits to six
out of every seven members in order
for them to live. At two different
times the union took up collections to
pay funeral expenses for children of
union teamster.
In the winter they claim they can
average only about $25 per week but
it costs more than SIS per week. at
the present price of feed. to take care
of a team, leaving the family around
$40 per week to live on.

A new PIPE line
Inter-Allied Council Has One Across
Scotland,

London. Nov. 21.-The inter-allied
petroleum council has been visiting
Scotland during the past few days, at
tending the formal Inauguration of a
pipe line laid across Scotland along
the Clyde-Forth canal to secure a con-
tinuous supply of fuel oil for the Brit
ish naval base at Rosyth. The pri-
mary object of this pipe line which
can deliver one hundred tons of oil
per hour and is the longest in Europe,
is to avert the necessity of tank steam
ers going around Scotland to the east
coast and thus to diminish the list of
tank steamers by submarine attacks.
Construction was begun in March and
completed November IL. Rear Ad-
miral H. H. D. Tothill, fourth British
sea lord. who performed the inaugural
ceremony, said that the speedy COM
pletion of the scheme was largely due
to "our good friends in the United
States who went over the pipe line
and provided pipe and also the neces-
sary hustle and determination to over
come all difficulties"

A NEW ORDER ON HOGS
Those Under $50 Pounds Are In
Guided in Throwouts.

Washington, Nov. 22.-AT hogs
weighing under $50 pounds were in
cluded in "throwouts" from packers
droves by an order today of the food
administration. This action is de-
signed to keep from the market hogs
considered too light for export trade
meat, and also to maintain the present
price Of heavier than "throwouts" at
$3.50 a hundred pounds.
: This program will be continued until
December 3. when a meeting will be
held with the packers and hog pro-
ducers in Chicago for further action.
The food administration urges that
they be retained on the farm until they
reach proper marketing weight. This
is Of prime Importance. as all pork
which can be produced in the next few
months will be urgently needed to sup
ply the wants of the export program
Of pork products.

There was hardly a war garden in
America this summer which did not
contain at least a few rows of pota-
toes. Many war gardens not only sup
piled potatoes for late summer and
fall use, but had a good surplus to be
stored for winter. Not a pound of
this valuable food should be allowed
to spoil this winter because of poor
storage. For those who have raised
potatoes for the first time, a few
hints as to their storage will not come
amiss.
Potatoes must be stored in a cool
dark celler or in an outdoor pit, but
great care must be taken to keep them
from freezing. If you bury them in
a pit be sure and cover them suffi-
GENTLY to keep out the frost. If they
are exposed to the light they will turn
green.
The simplest method of storing DO
tatoes in the cellar is to place them in
open crates which furnish plenty of
ventilation and then cover them with
old sacks and place in a cool dark
place.
Potatoes have played an important
role in the food of all countries since
the war began, and their value will
not be lessened this winter There are
many new and delicious ways of pre-
pairing potatoes so that we should
hnd 1t easy to carry out the food ad-
ministration's suggestion to give pota-
toes their proper place in our vegeta-
Bile ration.-The United States Food
administration.

GREAT TOURIST
SEASON IN PROSPECT

Last year this time everybody in
Florida was looking forward to the
greatest tourist season the State had
ever ehad-and the State had 1t.
Everybody was doing the same
thing at the same time the year be-
fore, and the year before that, and
still the year before that, and so on
back to the time when Florida first
came into popularity as winter tour
list resort. The crowds have in
creased in each succeeding season un-
til the time has come when all parts
of the State are now pretty well filled
with visitors during the winter time.
The prediction that the coming sea.
son will be a record-breaker, is
founded on many good reasons, some
of which were covered by Willis B.
Powell in a most readable letter pub
lished in last Sundays Tampa Tri-
bune and partly quoted in the Sun.
On top of that the current number
of Tampa Truisms, the organ of the
Tampa Board Of Trade says:
"A lot of unnecessary worry has
been turned into optimism by those
interested in the tourist prospects for
the coming winter season. Assurance
has been given by the Railroad Ad
ministration that there will be a re-
duction in round-trip fare to Florida
from all points during the coming
winter, equal to the rates given to
summer resorts during the season
just closing. There will also be a six
months return limit to the tickets,
or rather the return will be until June
1919. This pleasing news will not
only be of great benefit to the whole
State of Florida, but it will mean a
wonderful benefit to the government
in their program for the conservation
of food, fuel and clothing. Floridians
who have been out of the State this
summer bring back reports that Flor
ida can expect big season this
year.
The real question is for the visitor
himself to compute, for by a little
arithmetic he can easily ascertain
that 1t will be economical to come to
Florida for the winter. He will have
comfort, no worry about the coal
shortage, fresh food to eat, and such
recreation as he may indulge IN will
make him better fitted to perform his
everyday task when he returns. Now
1t is up to Florida to advertise to the
tourists that they can economize by
coming here, and every community in
the State should use its best efforts
to impress this upon prospective Wis.
itors. Clearwater Sun.

The Dixie Division has gone. In a
few days the brave lads from Lake.
land, Polk county, and South Florida
generally will have waved goodbye
to American shores, soon, we trust,
to safely reach the scene of the great
adventure. Some way, it seems that
their departure from Camp Wheeler
has left void greater than we had
anticipated. 1t is true that many of
our own had already gone. Com
pany D was no longer the gallant
band that we cheered that Sunday
morning year ago when 1t left for
camp. Many of those composing 1t
have long been scattered along the
far-fiung battle lines of France, fight
ing or working beside strangers, in
stead of with the comrades with
whom they used to walk our streets
But the officers for the most part, and
some Of the men, were still at this
camp, which seems by comparison so
near. There was still Company
D." and it still held some of those
from home. And this connecting
link seemed to make all who had left
US little more near. Now all are
gone-only one man, whole-hearted
patriotic physician, represents Lake
land in the camp where we had so
many. But we do not feel that our
boys are farther from us--rather
their going has brought the scene OF
combat closer to us and redoubled
our interest. We know that the
Dixie Division needs only opportun-
ity to cover itself with glory. We
know the spirit and the character Of
the Lakeland men who yet remain in
Company D, and who compose its Of
ficers. We know that there is not a
finer soldier, a truer, Drawer, more
loyal spirit in all the American army
than he who commands that company,
May God watch over these noble men
and bring them safely home again!

Governor Cats was one of the
speakers at meeting for the forma-
ton of a Council of Defense at Tam
pa the other night. The audience
was large, the occasion inspiring, and
the situation should have brought out
the best that was in any one IGNORED
by the opportunity. But the chief
feature Of the Governors speech was
story suited only to bar-room or
O. brothel. 1t is unfortunate that Mr..
Cats cannot put on the semblance OF
a gentleman for such brief occasions
as he appears before the public, not
as Mr.. Cats, but as Governor of this
great State.

A BAD START FOR
A GOOD MOVEMENT

1t is greatly to be hoped that last
nights meeting will not affect harm
fully the formation of a HiIlsborough
unit of the Council of National De-
Tense, but it was certainly a handicap
to any good cause. Much hard work
had been done to get out large
crowd and the results spoke for them
selves, for rarely has the casino been
better filled.
But, frankly, the speakers were a
disappointment.
The only one of the string Of ora
tors who seemed to know anything
about the Council of National De-
Tense was crowded out of chance
to say anything and if he had had the
time, the house was about half emp
tied by the man who preceded him.
The others merely talked" None OF
the stars who were advertised ap-
peared except Governor Cats and he
distinguished himself by telling vile
story that would have insured his be.
ing thrown out of any respectable
home where he had dared to offer It.
The Council of National Defense
should be organized in Hillsborough
county. We hope it will be and will
take the strong place 1t should oc-
cupy, but it certainly starts off with
considerable handicap.
We suggest that future committees
of arrangements exercise little more
discretion In the matter Of speakers.
and arrange for putting some sort of
an extinguisher upon a speaker who
misses so many good places to stop
gracefully. Why go abroad for
speakers, anyway, when we have so
many men here in Tampa, who are
infinitely superior as orators to any
who have yet been imported?
It is a pity that Judge Whitfield did
not have more of chance to express
himself We Judge that he must have
been somewhat chagrined over the af-
fair for the Judge is man of sense,
taste and discretion Tampa Times
