SURPLUS STEEL ID ! BE COMMANDEERED This Is Construction Placed on Order to Steel Users to
 Report on Stocks

Washington. September S-More than 10000 manufacturers using steel in their products have been called upon by the war industries board to make complete reports of their steel stocks, down to the smallest holdings. It was estimated to- day that this step is preparatory to com mandeeriag for war use all surplus sup plies of stee,.
 Several of the larger industries were called upon sometime ago to report thesr stocks, but 1t has been found necessary now to make a nation wide inventory Questiona&ues havy been sent through the machinery of the census bureau to all manufacturers using steel. and upon the replies tho next step of the government will be based.
 Tn announcing the action, the board said there was still shortage of 6,Ooo. lGo tons of steel for war work. The estimatac total production in sight up to January 1 next is IT GOO, 600 tons and increasing war demands already total 23.0oo,OOO tons.
 Cheerful compliance with the govern ments plan to inventory the stocks on hand is confidently expected by the war industries loard, said today's statement .because Q. the win-the war need tfat prompts t,.e step and because of the seh- eral character of the inquiry.'
 Charmun Earuch of the board aiready has given the notice that he cannot a., :. prove requests for single additional ounce of steel for domestic purposes.

It's Almost as Bad to Walk Up to Your Neighbours
 House and Hire Servants as it Is to Steal the Ia
 Silver or Run Away With Perfectly Good Husband

even). For instance, this lady(?) makesa a friendly call, inquiries kindly about you. children, your husband. your friends laHt but not least, about your servants. Very sweet, Hind interested questions, and iE short while your servant is impudent or for some reason there must be . change.
 A few days ago she came over and airii5 laughed that I should be waiting for myS laundress, when her laundress (who was cooking for me the week before) had in- formed her that they were having fu- neral at the first laundress house.
 Then sne sweetly inquired what I paid my yard man. I'told her that my hus- band paid him (which he sometimes' doess.
 Next kind request was, that I ask the painter who was painting my house to come over and see about painting hers
 Having no further conversation of trn- portance, she departed, regretting that had such a hard time with servants!
 There is no exaggeration in this tale, nor is it the enly tragedy of it's kind that is taking rlace in our city.
 Now with all the cooks unions' and religious meetings that the darkies hoid over their helpless victims, why can't ws at least have spirit of honor among ourselves and draw the line at certan things that work hardships for our neigh bors!
 No, names, Dolly dear, but sense of lasting gratitude if you can bring this idea into the limelight; it is purely aues- ton of mans inhumanity to man. only this time it's woman's!"
 It is almost inconceivable that a decent woman would be guilty of soing to neighbours house (not to speak Of friend's) and hire her servants risnt under her nose. It is not only dishonor- able, but Ill, Christian; it mean and It. tie, and, above all things. inconsistencies I think, like my friends who were en- gagged Ii, the conversation on this subject. that it is just as much of crime as 10 steal the family silver or to run away with sonebody's perfectly godd husband. In fact they could run away with most or the husbands I know if they'd only leave the cook!

SOUTH OBJECTS ID
 ROAD PRESIDENT
 ON RATE BOARD
Opinion Is That McAdOo Made Mistake in Turning Over Rate Question to
 Mir. Chambers
Ny HUGH ". ROBERTS

Washington, September 3.-(Speciai) The attitude of the south is expressed by numerous secretaries of Chambers of Commerce and experts of tariff associa- uons gathered here today as follows:
 We are willing that the government operate the railroads, but are unwilling that the railroads operate the govern ment''
 In other words, the opinion is that Sec retary McAdoo, in turning over the rate question to Mir. Chambers, president of the Santa Fe railroad, has entered upon course which, if not corrected, will ruin all southern shipping communities, such as those of which Birmingham, Montgomery, Macon, Houston and Nash ville are centered.
 The southerners desire the creation of a rate board consisting of a representa- tive of the government, preferably Judge William Prouty of the interstate com ifferce commission; representative ot the railroads, MT. Chambers of the Santa Fe, if desirable, and representative of the shippers. For the latter position Col onel Wimbsh of Atlanta appears to be in great favor.
 Some days ago these southerners in duced southern senators to gather and formerly enact the solutions embodyinS their ideas. The senators readily agreed to the scheme and named a committee Of five to interview w. G. McAdoo, dire"- tor generaLeof railroads. Mr. Simmons of North Carolina is chairman of the committee and the other members are Mir Underwood of Alabama, MT. Smith of Georgia, MT. smith of South Carolina and Mr Williams of Mississippi. This committee will interview the director general tomorrow
 Bruce Kennedy, secretary of the Cham Der of Commerce, of Montgomery, said today: "We have no fault to find with Mir. McAdoo. On the contrary, We feel that MT. McAdoo will remedy any condi- tion which he is advised exists. We know that MT. McAdoo is aware of the equity in a proposition having for it's object representation in rate making on the part of the shippers. It is unques- tionably fair that in a matter as im- portant as shipping the government, the railroads and the people should have rep resentatives.
 .Under the present system the district board recommended to the regional di- rectors and the regional boards recom- mended them to MT. Chambers, represent ing the state committee of the railroad administration. It is perfectly fair that MT. Chambers, in passing on these reo- concentrations, should have the benefit Of the advice of the shippers and the gov ernment.
 .'The southern senators have taken kindly to the representations of their constituents, and tomorrow will inter-

.661D)uT do nice people do such
 J6O things?"
 It was sweet-voiced gem tlewoman who asked the question. |. Do they do such things?' repeated the other who was neither sweet-voiced nor gentle and incidentally she had been the victim of just such a performance. They do them every day, women who move in the best circles; women who are supposed to be good Christian char acters, dwelling in peace and harmony with their fellowmen. Why-didnt one of the supposed incest women in this town, drive right up to my back gate and ask for my cook and offer her B more week than I was paying her and didn't the cook immediately give me notice and go? And you can't blame the cook Scarce as money is these days, who IS above a raise in wages? Talk to me about, Do nice people do such things? Yes, they do 1t, and I'd like to shoot .em. It's just as bad as stealing the family silver or running away With per fectly good husband"
 This conversation took place in my hearing a very short time ago; l was amused puzzled and very much inter- ested; like the sweet-voiced, gentle wom- an who asked, Do nice people do such things?" I, too, wanted to know if they really did, and, strange as it may seem, hiking down to the office that same sunny afternoon. and looking over my mail, ran across letter-bearing on this sub tect, which was both corroborative and vituperative of the self-same crime.
 Evidently its done in the best cir cles'' these days, If what our friends said was true and also witness what my correspondent has to say.
