BUY AMERICAN
SHOP EQUIPMENT
FOR RAILROADS

American manufacturers should
study carefully the market for rail-
way shop machinery and tools in Aus
tralia and New Zealand, says a. report
completed today for the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce, De-
partment of Commerce, by CONNER
cial Agent Frank Rhea- OF all the va
rious lines of railway equipment and
supplies in use in those countries, ma
chinery and tools are first in volume
of imports from the United States.
Other supplies and equipment for
the state railways are purchased to
some extent in America, because in
some respects railway conditions in
Australia and New Zealand are simil-
ar to those in the United States, but
the tendency is to manufacture at
home all possible supplies. In shop
machinery and tools the American
manufacturer, by reason of the rec
ognized excellence of his product, s
able to compete more successfully
with European and domestic con-
Germs than in any other line, as
shown by the business done in the
past.
To enable American manufacturers
to make the mos of opportunities
in Australia and New Zealand, the
Bureaus report goes extensively int J
all phases of railway operation; a par
ticularly interesting study in view of
the fact that the roads are owned and
operated by the government. 1t is one
of the many reports being prepared
by the Bureau to assist the manufac-
turers of the United States to prepare
for trade after the war.

RAD|UN SUPPLY OF GOVERNMENT
 |S INCREASED

WASHINGTON, May 24.-As one of the results of an agreement between the National Radium Institute and the bureau of mines, department of the interior, to develop more eff cient process for the manufacture of radium out of the carnotite ores of Colorado and Utah, the bureau of mines now has as it's share more than $180,O00 worth of radium for use in the sciences. This was procured for an expenditure of less than $38,0OO. In addition, under the agreement, the bureau has turned over to the Ma tiOnal Radium Institute about six and One-half grams of radium and has given to the country a method for pro- ducing pure radium compound from the ore for one-third the current price of radium
 When the bureau of mines began this work, in 1912, it found that the precious carnotite ore, constituting the largest known supply of radium ore in the world, was going to Europe, mainly to Germany where it was be ing turned into radium and sold back to the United States at fabulous prices. The miners of carnotite were receiving for their ore just what Europe cared to give. At the present time the miners are getting much more money for their ore and the concentration of radium is being made in the United States.
 At the Golden, Colo, experiment station of the bureau of mines, where great amount of research work in radium has been accomplished, cu- rious condition has arisen. Through the handling of large amount of radium at the station it seems that the measuring instruments, and in fact everything in the laboratory, from the walls down to the rubber stoppers on bottles, have become so charged with radium that it is now impossible to continue the accurate measuring of the radium. It has become necessary to obtain a room in one of the other buildings in order that this work may be completed. While it is not thought ;ttat there is a sufficient amount of radium in the laboratory to have a physical effect upon the work CTS, there is enough to prevent any further work on radium.

THE NINTH OF ABB.

The sad day, the ninth of Alb, COM
memorating the destruction of the
Jerusalem Temple is approaching.
For about nineteen hundred years it
has been an annual day of fasting and
lamertation. It has kept the memory
of lsrael's vanished glories, its state
Land and nation-Land, green and
fresh in the mind of the Jews. 1t was
the annual renewal of a pledge of
loyalty, and faith, and hope The
Jew wept and prayed and sighed and
trusted.
We have lived to see the day when
lsraeps sad memories are about to be
effaced when the restoration is about
to be accomplished, when Israel's ma
tion-Land is about to be revived. Soon
soon we hope, the. fast of Alb may be
turr,ed into a feast of Alb.

Rabbi Leo M. Franklin, the Con-
tributing Editor of the Jewish
Chronicle of Detroit, sings the
praises of the publicity department
of the Zionist organization for it's
efficient work, and regretfully ex-
claims: "Had opponents of Zionism
been equally far-sighted in this mat
ter, and had they spread their mes
sage with the same zeal and enthusi-
asm as has marked the Zionist
propaganda, it is altogether likely
that the complexion of Jewish
thought today would be very diff
ferent than it is" But what mes
sage have the anti-Zionists to
spread, be their zeal great or little

The Ninth of Alb will have a new
significance to many Jews. There
were three attitudes to "The Black
Fast" The devoutly Orthodox
mourned Israel's vanished glory as
he would a personal bereavement.
The Radical Reform Jew hailed it
as new holiday, as marking the
beginning of Israel's missionary
career, when the Jew, no longer
confined to his own limited area.

pie to organize themselves and to
refuse to work or sell or buy on
unsuitable terms.
But strikes and boycotts unfor-
tunately very often lead to rioting,
and the newsies' strike was no
exception and gave rise to one or
two incipient, little riots, involving
the destruction of property, that
no law-abiding members of the COM

Jealous than others in guarding our

mere youngsters, they could hardly
be held responsible for any mischief
they did or might have done. All
the more reason why at the very be-
ginning of the difficulty commit
tee of representative Jews of the
community should have formed it
self to listen to the newsboys' griev-
ances and to negotiate for them.
All such disagreements can be set
tied only by compromise. Neither
party to a. dispute is, as rule, en-
tirely right or wrong, and both par
ties have to yield little. That is
the way the newsboys' strike was
actually disposed of and we are all
glad of it.
