From the Richland News.
The Dawson mayor has set an example
worthy of following by other mayors of
Georgia, that of making every able-bodied
man work or leave the city. The Dawson
mayor has so far had several young men of
prominent families before him to face the
charges of lettering and vagrancy, and he
states that Dawson will not tolerate idleness
and vagrancy.

When the happy and useful thought
strikes the American mind that work will
solve most economic problems, and all So

the high cost of living. There are too many
people riding and idling, and two few walk
ing or blowing.

A good many causes have been assigned
for the high cost of living, but when one
mentions profteering, superabundance of
national currency and governmental eXtrav-
agance a great deal has been pointed out.

MILLIONS GO BEGGING

Washington-More than $16,OOO,OO0
of returned checks are now in the
hands of the war risk insurance bu-
reau, many of them marked "un-
known" or unclaimed" as the result
of the failure of allottees to notify
the bureau of changed addresses.
The Red Cross has been enlisted in
the campaign to locate such persons,
and has taken over 10000 of the
checks.
About 100000 checks have been re-
turned since December 81, 1917, and
they are coming back at the rate of
1896 day. Some of them are not
payable because of a change of the
status of the allottee, but it is esti-
mated that nearly so per cent are still
payable if the proper addresses can
be found.

Boston Phone Girls

strike have been increased so cents

STATIONARY ENGINEERS
No Material Change in Local Situa-
tiOn-Men Stand Firm in Their
Demand for DecOgnitiOn

Mr.. J. J. Smith, international or
ganizer of stationary engineers and
firemen, is optimistic regarding the
outcome of the existing conditions in
some of the plants in the city. The
union is constantly gaining IN
strength, new members are continual
ly joining and all are standing firmly
and unitedly together and will con-
tinue to do so until victory crowns
their efforts.
Mr.. Smith, in speaking of the sit
uation Thursday, says, "The situa-
ton is undoubtedly growing brighter,
and we will ultimately gain our end,
the men are all loyal and no one for
a moment thinks of surrender. In
one or two instances the industrial
barons are taking drastic action, and
are evidently alarmed as to the final
outcome. Their employees are locked
in as soon as they report for duty
and are as closely guarded as criml-
nal, it being an absolute impossibility
to see them during working hours
But things look good, much better
indeed than they did week ago, and
we are bound to win in our demand
for decent living wage and fair
working conditions"

Thick Head BurIesOn
POSTAL CHIEF IS SCORED BY A
BOSTON NEWSPAPER
Incapable of Understanding Existing
Hostility Towards His Methods
Which Have Been Productive
of Universal Disaster

Boston - Responsibility for the
strike of telephone girls and electrical
workers that tied up business in this
section Of the country is laid at the
door of Postmaster General Burleson
by the Boston Evening Record.
In an editorial entitled "The Casual
Mr.. Burleson," that paper says:
"What Mr.. Burleson appears in
capable of understanding is that there
is deep-seated and ineradicable hos
tility towards his method of exerting
government control over the tele-
phone system. What he fails to COM
prehend is that in its present status
this strike is not simply strike for
higher wages, but is protest against
his inefficient and exasperating meth
cd of treating such questions.
"The attitude of the telephone
operators is that they have been
handed promises and have encounter
ed vexations and delays for three
months, and that they are not inter-
ested in any promises of a continu-
ance of precisely those conditions
against which they have made their
stand. Presumably if Mr.. Burleson
should tell the operators that their
schedules for higher wages would be
Immediately accepted, they would re-
turn to the switchboards. Mr.. Burle-
son offers nothing of the kind. The
striking operators are quite logical
in assuming, then, that his promise
of further consideration implies no
such granting of their demands, but,
on the contrary, may lead to a modi-
fcation or complete denial of them.
"Mr. Burleson throughout the situa-
tion-which began to develop three
months ago-has shown an amazing
lack of understanding and an exas-
perating inability to grasp the fact
that by dawdling and shifting, the
convenience and safety of this city,
and other cities, was being imperiled.
His course throughout has been futile
and it has produced disaster. His
latest action is consistently blunder-
ing"
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1919-05-02
THE FRANKING OUTRAGE

sidered in connection with the Gov
ernorship of his state, with the result
that he conceived the idea Of sending
out nice collection of books to the
voters Of his state. He sent out 640,-
900 parcels of books in one day, and
upon inquiry at the post office | found
that the postage would have been to
ordinary mortals As cents each
parcel. 1t is a simple matter in
arithmetic to see that $4,000 parcels
at 45 apiece cost Uncle Same 100000
for postage. Of course the cost of
the books themselves would be greatly
in excess of this amount"
Mr.. Fuller recalled, as did Mr.. West,
that the commission consisting of
Charles E. Hughes, A. Lawrence
Lowell and Harry A Wheeler which
investigated the mail franked out by
Congress in 1908 reported that in one
year members of Congress sent out
one-fortieth of the whole mail Of the
United States. A member so inclined
can waste a million dollars of the
public's money in flooding his district
with speeches, books and seeds. A
fine OF $500 is provided for personal
use of the franking privilege, yet, as
Mr.. Fuller remarked in his speech,
"Congressmen violate the law with
impunity."
The general tax-ridden public, Of
course, has not the faintest suspicion
about the shameful, gross spoliation
of the Government and the people
that is being perpetrated under the
guise and abuse of the franking
privilege of members of Congress.
VIII the next, Republican, Congress
hfahe an end of the scandal and pun
ish the offenders?

Miners Are Often Idle
6-HOur Day Urged

Indianapolis, Ind. - In defense of
the six-hour demand of organized
coal miners, the United Mine Work
ers' Journal quotes statistics by the
United States bureau of mines to
show that during the past ten years
the average days worked in the mines
of this country ranged between 1876
days in 1908 to 251 days in 1917. No
figures are given for last year, when
all mining records were broken, al
though 10000 members of the United
Mine Workers were with the military
forces.
eve see from these official figures"
says the United Mine Workers Jour
nal, "that even in the years when the
demand for coal was at it's highest
point the miners worked only an
average of from 209 days Tin 1879
to 251 days (in 1910 out of the 312
working days of the year. And yet
they met every demand and every
requirement. They could have pro-
duced a billion tons of coal in year
if it had been needed, instead of ap-
proximately 66O,OO0,O00 tons, which
was the highest mark.
eff the miners produced this amount
Of coal in 251 eight-hour days, they
could have met the same demand in
312 six-hour days. And if they were
paid the same price per ton for pro-
ducing the coal, what difference would
it make in the cost whether they pro-
duced the coal in eight hours or six
hours? None whatever"

The extravaganza and wholesale
waste in the Bureau of Public Print
ing at Washington was made the sub
ject of a speech by Representative
Alvin T. Fuller of Massachusetts, in
the last day of the Sixty-ffth Con-
gress. Representative Fuller had
heard that from 10000 to $4,000
pounds of mail matter were sent from
the office building of the House of
Representative daily, and he deter
mined in making a personal investi
cation. Here are some of the results
of his Investigations as embodied in
his speech before the House:
81 took the liberty the other day
of calling on the superintendent who
has charge of the clerks who send out
this mass of stuff, and he stated that
at times there were from 500 to 600
clerks employed doing nothing but
packing free literature into free en-
velopes to be sent through the mails
free of expense for Congressman. He
stated that these clerks could address
and sent out about 1,500 each in a
day. l asked the man in charge how
many parcels a Congressman could
have, and he said as many as he
liked. Well, l said, mot a million
apiece, and he said, Yes And then
| inquired how many envelopes, and
he said as many as Congressman
wanted. | asked HIM how about the
printing, and he said, No charge to
a Congressman And | asked him
about the franking privilege, and he
said these things were all franked
out, and then he said by way of offer
ing a defence, that Of course no Con-
gressman, unless he were a damned
hog, would take more than a hundred
thousand"
zone of our Congressman a while
ago desired to have his name con-
