Coal Hauling Contracts.
, the Editor Of The Star.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Why should the District Of Columbia
lose S6, 900 or more on account OF having
It's coal hauled by the Interior Depart
ment?
This is what will happen If sundry
civil bill H. r. 12441 is allowed to pass
as it now reads.
The Interior Department estimates 1t
will cost 70 cents per ton to distribute
coal this year, Plus an additional cost Of
% cents per ton, for an reloading from
ground reserve,
"A hauling contractor has bid .eoA cents
per ton for distributing and guarantee
Ing weights on coal for the District Of
Columbia, which will save $1,000 II ac-
cepted.
II q hauling contractor can save this
much for the District Of Columbia, II is
practically assured that the United
States government would save $47,5o0
for its work. on the same basis Of fig-
ures. provided hauling contractors are
allowed to bid on this work.
We respectfully request that this bill
be amended by Congress. allowing the
District to accept It's bid. and the In
tsrior Department instructed TO ask for
bids on the hauling of coal from It's ter
minals by hauling contractors and the
bid be awarded to the lowest respon-
sible bidder.

WANTS CANADA TO BE

Buenos Aires Project Is Advocated
by John Barrett-Urges Every
thing to Promote Friendship.

Speaking of the project for Pan
American Union in Buenos Aires to
include Canada. John Barrett, director
general of the Pan-American Union in
Washington, said today:
'Inasmuch as this project is unofi-
cial and popular in its idea, there is
nothing in it that conflicts with the
Pan-American Union, the Official in
ternational organization of all the
American republics in Washington;
and, therefore. there can be no opposi-
ton on the part of the latter toward
the forwarding of movement of this
kind. Everything that can be done to
awaken popular interest throughout
the Americas in practical pan-Ameri-
canism is deserving of consideration.
while the official Pan-American
Union in Washington is doing all
things possible within its rules and
regulations to develop c1oser relations

al Typographical Union
Remarkable Showing"
BY THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

The published reports Of the Inter-
national Typographical Union. ISSUED
from Indianapolis, make a very re-
markable showing and put that or
ganization high on the honor roll of
America for the great war.
Forty-one hundred jeurneyman
members of the union and 100 ap-
prentices are in the military and naval
forces of the United States and Can
ada; seventy-fiye members already
have paid with their lives for their
revotion to their country; the union
has paid $4,000 mortuary benefits to
the widows. orphans and mothers of
these men; the union, through it's ex-
ecutive council, has invested $4,000
| in the liberty loans. and subordinate
local unions and individual members
have invested s3.000,000 In the liberty
loans
Keeps Up Peace Activities
These are wartime activities. Dur
| ing the same period the Interna-
| tional Typographical Union has con-
| tinued all its ordinary benefit works.
| 1t has paid over s350,000 to old age
pensioners, over 100000 in mortuary
| benefits and $4,000 to the Union
Printers Home at Colorado Springs.
| Every dollar has been paid by men,
| bers of the organization in the form
| of regular dues and assessments.
| The union neither solicits nor ac-
| cepts contributions to its benefit
| funds During the same period the
union has expended only $1,000 for
strike expenses. The union acts in
| thoroughEoing, patriotic fashion on
| the conviction that there should be
no strikes or lockcuts during the
war. Its officers regard themselves
as volunteers in the Army for the
preservation of industrial peace. at
least for the duration OF the war,
and hope for long after the war.
Offers Striking Contrast.
| Such conduct offers a striking con-
| trast to the action OF certain cor
porations. which. during this war.
have refused to permit their employees
as capital to organize. 1t Is tyranny
to forbid the exercise of this right.
Just as 1t is tyranny to misuse the
power acquired by organisation.
The people of the United States do
not believe in tyranny. and do believe
Typographical Union has offered an
admirable example of Americanism
and patriotism.
It's attitude is typical Of the atti-
tude Of organized labor generally.
Hats off to the international Typo
| graphical Union. and hats off to the
| working men and working women of
the United States.

STRANGE VARIETIES OF FOOD
People Of Different Parts Of the Earth
Are Shown to Have Decidedly
Different Tastes.

Strange foods. such as potato flour.
artificial protein cakes, green bone-dust
preparations, tabloid soups, pudding
powders and other unusual things, have
come into use during the war and their
adoption serves to remind US that much
good food material Is neglected In or
binary use. Only q few people eat
snails; most OF us would starve amidst
plenty Of locusts; and the thought Of
snakes as food would give those who
call themselves civilized the shudders.
But unusual food, once become IA
miliar, Is often relished. Colonel
Roosevelt got the best work from his
men on his African expedition by
promising them raw steaks from
slaughtered appropriateness. Cap
tain Bartlett. who carried Stefansson
to the arctic water, found raw polar
bear flesh more appetizlng than any
thing he had eaten at home.
Frenchmen eat snails and dog steaks
cost there more than mutton. Some
arctic tribes prefer to have their fish
decomposed before eating them, and
even then perhaps they smell no worse
than Llmburger or Brie cheese. South
Americans cut lizards and mares milk
IS favorite rrsSian beverage. Truly,
"there is no uniting for tastes"-

CITY HAVING RAPID GROWTH
k.orfolk Bids Fair to Break all Rec
ords at Her Present Rate
Of Progress.

There is not q city In this country.
perhaps none In the world, that Is
growing at more rapid rate than Nor
folk" remarked G. w. Sizer, manager
of one Of the leading hotels OF that
city. at the Raleigh, the Washington
Post states. "The last census gave
tn" ""pulation Of Norfolk at less than
20 Today It is estimated that Nor
fol-. ~ city of 10000, or more than
double the size 1t was In 1910. Wash
ington prides itself on the tremendous
growth attained In the last two or
three years. take considerable pride
In the growth Of Washington, for
lived here many years, but the pro-
portionate increase In the population
Of the national capital cannot compare
with that Of Norfolk. OF course, both
cities are helped by war business.
Washington, I presume, Is the busiest
city In the world, but Norfolk is al
most next.
Hampton Roads Is filled with ships.
Battleships are passing In md out
every hour, and soldiers and sailors
are filling the streets, hotels and resi-
dences of Norfolk. Only recently ]
saw some 1000 soldiers from New Zen
land parading through the streets OF
Norfolk. Many Of them were not
young. New Zealand already has sent
close to 10000 men to the front In
France. and Belgium, out of q popu-
lation Of I 100000, and Is still sending
men, which should be an object les
son to US.
"Business Is booming In Norfolk as
never before. The hotels are filed to
overfowing just Us they are in Wash
ington. New business blocks nre go
Ing up and the residence sections Of
the city are being extended far into
the outlying districts. venture to say
that in another decade Norfolk will
come close to being the leading ity In
the Old Dominion, both in population
and Importance"
