The statement issued by the board
comes as an aftermath of meeting OF
representatives Of the steel producers
with the priorities committee of the War
Industries Board, at which II was
pointed out that the production Of steel
at this time Is exceeding the direct war
needs of the country. although this con-
dltion may not prevail for any length

OBJECT TO LIMIT
ON WIRE CONTROL
Spokesman Of Administration
Expected to Demand Contin-
uatiOn After End of War.
Special Despatch to THE Sun.

WASHINGTON. July 4. - Representa-.
and Senate are counted on to make a
strong fight to provide for an extension
of Government control OF telegraph and
telephone systems beyond the end Of the
war
The fact that the House Interstate
Commerce Committee voted without
dissent to report out the Sanders reso-
luton limiting Government control to
the period Of the war does not mean. It
was confidently asserted to-day. that
the resolution will go unamended
through the House and then the Senate.
The three Spokesman for the Admin
istration who urged the Aswell resolu-
tion-the Secretary of War, the Secre-
tary OF the Navy and the Postmaster
General - without exception favored
placing no restrictions at all upon the
time when the systems should be re-
turned to private ownership. They are
understood at the Capitol to represent
the Presidents views and his followers
in Congress are sure to make night
for no limit at all Failing that they
will try for an extension of control Tor
year or more after the war
The argument they are relying upon
troyersy Is that 1t would be unfair To
all concerned to turn the companies back
as soon as peace Is established. II
would be far better. they will maintain,
that the systems should become adjusted
to post-bellum conditions while under
control of the Government.
Action by the Senate may he hurried
beyond its usual speed programme by
the strike OF Western Union employees
set for Monday.
Pending passage OF the resolution
speculation Is rife as to who will have
the administration of the Government
controlled communication systems
While there has been no hint from the
White House OF the Presidents choice
apparently no one Is considered except
two members of the Cabinet-Postmas'
ter-General Burleson and Secretary OF
the Treasury McAdoo, Mr.. Burlesor
in answer to the blunt inquiry Just al
bluntly replied that he hoped operation
Of the systems would be entrusted te
| him.
Mr.. McAdoo Is mistakenly suggested
on account OF his experience In oper'
atinG the railroads and the organization
he has built up for that purpose.

Carlton, Western Union Head,
Seeks to Prevent Strike by
New Association.
STRONG LOYALTY PLEA

fits, Pensions, Insurance
and Other Matters.
STRONG LOYALTY PLEA

Newcomb Carlton. president Of the
Western Union Telegraph Company, sent
statement yesterday to the employees
OF the company Throughout the United
states which is intended to forestall the
strike order OF the Commercial Teleg-
raphers Union. The statement insists
that the company is about to have an
employees organization entirely within
its ranks and that it will deal exclusively
with that union
The communication is a direct plea
TO the individual employee to pay no
attention TO the unions strike order and
to entrust his or her business with the
company to the family organization
which Is in process Of formation. The
statement follows:
I'm order that employees NAV have
a full understanding OF present condi-
Ions, It seems proper for me to say that
on the eve Of the formation of n West
ern Union Employees Association the
Government Is considering taking over
the telegraph lines because of the threat
OF an outside organization without MEM
bership in our forces
Quotes Burleson on Unionisnf,
NO one would pay any attention to
such a threat were not the nation at
war 1t Is therefore pertinent to call
attention to the Governments point Of
view on outside unions as expressed by
Postmaster General Burleson before the
House Committee on Tuesday last, as
follows:
81 have never opposed the Govern
ment employees organizing. but II the
m nd tall
over the employees shall not be affiliated
with any outside organization. The sole
affiliation should be with the Governme Mt
and no outside organization should be
allowed to influence their action
From the foregoing It would appear
that the policy Of the company is pre-
cisely that OF the Postmaster-I General.
would Deal with Association.
when your association Is formed It
is proposed that the company make an
exclusive contract with 1t under which
the company will deal with the associa-
ton in matters relating to wages, con-
ditions OF employment sick benefits,
pensions. life insurance and any other
matters affecting the interests of EN-
pioyees.
Meanwhile you may be urged to do
something foolish by self-seeking indi-
viduals who hope to improve their own
position, and such an individual, repre-
senting small union Of about $500
members. largely Canadian, proposes on
his own authority to call you-loyal
| men and women of the Western Onion
from your work in order to defeat the
| association which you are about to form.
] am confident you will answer this at
tempt by an additional demonstration
of your loyalty to your Government by
continuing at your post of duty without
fear of criticism by right minded peo-
pie

1t is claimed that the comparatively
low price of milk of IL cents per
quart delivered to the consumer in a
large western city, is attributable
largely to the reduced cost of convey
ing the commodity to market. 1t is
said that before a system of concrete
roads was constructed, fifteen cans of
milk were regarded as a fair load for
a team of two horses. Motor trucks.
which could not be operated on the
country dirt roads, are now carrying
loads of from 100 to $50 cans. If
these statements are warranted, it is
at once obvious that both the pro-
Queer and the dealer, as we'll as the
consumer, will be materially bene-
fitted.
