500 PAGES OF RULES
AND REGULATIONS

The United States Fuel Admins
tration announces that it is compil-
ing a book of perhaps 500 pages
which is to contain all the rules
and regulations promulgated during
the life Of the Administration up to
January /, 1919.
Doubtless this volume will give
all information desired as to the
conservation Of coal both in the in
terest of the Governments war needs
and Of the public.
But it will not show that any eff
fort was made to keep down the
price of wood to consumers. The
people of moderate means and the
poor have been ruthlessly robbed by
the lumber mills of this and other
cities, one of the reasons for this
contemptibly mean profiteering being
to punish the people for favoring an
8-hour work day. These lumber
barons have taken and are still TAX
ing thousands of dollars from the
pockets of the public for stuff, much
Of which is unfit to burn, but which
the mills would be compelled to burn
if they did not sell it to consumers
of firewood.
They sell waterlogged wood at an
exhorbitant price and will continue
to do so until the people quit their
impotent growing and by collective
action force the robbers to reduce
their prices to reasonable figures.
1t isn't the retail wood dealer who
is making an excess profit but a
wood trade conspiracy among mill
owners to gouge the consumers
Will there never be any effort to
break this profiteering in mill trash

THE BUSINESS OF WAR.

The fact is being driven home to the
people of this country that we have
reached stage of the war when hero
les and stage oratory must be dropped
and serious work take their place. We
have exhausted our vocabulary and
invented cher languages in our con-
demnation of the Hun-which was
probably to be expected and necessary
in the working up of a general war
spirit. Now, however, the prelimina-
ries are over, and we are in the very
center of the conflict, whether for good
or i'll will depend entirely on our fu-
ture.
We must realize the seriousness of
the fact that - half million of our
boys are at this moment facing the
greatest engine Of destruction this
world has ever seen. Other thousands
are daily departing to share their la
bors and bare their breasts to the
same dangers. These men have no
false or exaggerated notions of the
glory awaiting them. They are i'm
bued with but one thought-to remove
The states-graphic. (Brownsville, Tenn.) 1???-1984, 1918-02-15


from the world a great menace to
human liberty. To this end they are
willing, if need be. to give their lives.
Certainly they are giving to the task
the very best of their manhood. 1t is
a serious business and they are going
about it in deadly earnest.
Are We who must remain at home
taking the same serious businesslike
view Of the work before US? Are we
devoting OUR lives to the end that
THEIR lives may be preserved, or, if
sacrificed in the cause, that the sacri-
fee may not be in vain?
Just recently the country was call
ed upon for the first real sacrifice of
the war-the conserving of fuel. 1t
has been interesting to note the spirit
in which this order was met. As is
the case in all such blanket orders,
there we're many lOopholes of escape
for those desiring to evade the order.
Be it said to the everlasting credit of
our people, very few sought for these
excuses. The rule was rather to
cheerfully comply if there was any
chance that the order reached them.
Following this may come an order
for the compulsory saving OF food. |
This, too should be met cheerfully. |
Our own boys must be kept up to the
highest point of e--ciency and our
allies must be fed. American citizens
must dedicate their lives and energies
to two objeets-producing and saving.
The entire question resolves itself in
to a purely business proposition-that
if increasing our income to the highest
possible figure, and then living well
within that income that each may have
a surplus to lay on the altar of our
Let's cut the heroics and get grimly
down to the business of winning the
war. Any other course spells failure.

ARE THE PACKERS
PROFITEERING?

The investigation into the packing
industry is threatening to bring to
light things, practices that have beer
alleged and denied many times. The
most serious accusation against them
is that the five leading firms have d.
vided the country for buying purposes
each firm refusing to purchase from
the territory Of the others, thus COM
pletely eliminating competitive buy
ing. This has been repeatedly charg-
.-.-.---sfik E5rss5c- hives
tigation now going on, however, has
pretty well established the fact.
The packing industry is one of the
most important in the country, and in
justice to both the packers and the
people the full truth of the matter
should be brought to light. If the
charges are unfounded, the country
should know it, that justice may be
accorded these concerns upon which
We are so greatly dependent. But if
they have been using their great
wealth and power purposely for I'M
lawful profteering, then the govern
ment should promptly penalize them
and take over their property. The
American people are in no temper to
be exploited on such a gigantic scale
for the enriching of few commercial
brigands.
We sincerely hope the packers can
prove clean bill of health, but the
fact that they have made desperate
efforts to stave off an investigation
would lead the country to the conclu-
sion that there must be an African
gentleman in the woodpile somewhere.
