PLAYING SQUARE
WITH INDUSTRY

The mining, oil and lumber indus
tries have been meeting the govern
ment needs and world demand in q
most remarkable manner.
These great industries under pri-
vate operation have ~co-operated with
the government in every possible
manner, submitting cheerfully to such
regulation, price fixing and control
as deemed necessary as a war meas
ure.
M. L. Requa, general director. oil

control of oil industry, shows a trulv
American spirit of dealing with in

In concluding an able presentation
OF the situation to oil operators he
showed reasons for unusual meas

try. including oil. He said:

WHAT Is WAR WORK? ,"

For the purposes of the central
lied war labor recruiting program,
"war work. means:
]. The manufacture of products or
indirectly supplied to some department
the erection Of structures directly or
Of the Government for use in connec-
ton with the war. "Indirectlv sup
piled" include goods delivered under
s]ubcontracts to government contrac-
tors.
2. Coal mining is wholly war work.
3. Railroads and farms are engaged
in war work TO the extent that under
this program they are protected from
all recruiting by other industries.
The making Of products which may
ultimately be used for war purposes
but which are not to be delivered
either directly to the government or
to some contractor who uses them in
producing or as a part of products to
be delivered to the government is
NOT considered war work.

RUSHING TOWARD AUTOCRACY

If the people of the United States
are permitted to work out our own
national life, without being amalga-
mated with internationalism with the
loss of Americanism, we can in all
probability help bring up gradually
the lower order of some of the other
nations.
We have been making rapid strides
toward a we'll disseminated higher
level Of life, generally recognized as
distinctly American.
The evolution to this end was un-
m~istakably rapid.
In the midst Of the populer cry,
however, of democracy for all the
world, we here in America under the
slogan of "war necessity" are now
rushing at most dangerous speed to-
ward autocracy.
The ideal balance we were steadily
approaching has suddenly given way
to the popular idea of Bolshevism
born of Russian despotism.
1t is we'll to bear in mind thst
~autocracy exists the moment any
country is controlled wholly by the
"higher ups or wholly by the slower
downs"

Robert L. Archer of Huntington Mr..
Archer's figures, which are minus re-
ports from ten counties, some of these
being important ones, indicate that
the sales in the state, up to July 1st.
totalled $7,047 ,24114. Taking into
consideration the fact that counties
like Mingo, Raleigh and Randolph, to
say nothing of Pendleton, which like
Mingo and Raleigh, has an over-sub-
scribed quota, are missing from the

totals up to the end Of Junewere near

WASHINGTON, Aug Post
master General Burleson announced
today that one of the first effects of
government control of telephone and
telegraph probably would be the oc-
ordination and consolidation of com
peting systems wherever possible.
Negotiations are already under way
for consolidating a number of com
peting telephone systems when the
government assumes control. The
Postmaster General will not distrub
the negotiations in any manner.
When an agreement is reached be-
tween the companies it will be sub
mitted to the Post Office Department
for approval. Where no negotiations
whit a view of consolidating have
yet begun the Postmaster General
says there is no objection to the com
panies taking up negotiations with
the understanding that any agree
ment will have to be approved.
