DISPOSITION Of
WAR MATERIAL
PUZZLES HUNS

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
IN GERMANTOWN to dispose of
war material worth many millions
of marks is problem confronting
German military authorities. Press
reports from various parts of Ger
many indicate that great masses of
guns and other war material are
rusting on old drill grounds or are
being sold for junk
Illustrated papers recently pub
lished photograph of an enormous
stack of shell-damaged cannon which
were to be broken up in Westphalia
for the metal. Newspapers say
that on the old artillery drill ground
at Oldenburg there are more than
1000 wagons and guns in various
stages of wreck, awaiting purchas-
ers. Some of the editors have
been demanding that something be
done at once to get old baggage
wagons and other former war vehi-
cles into the hands of the farmers,
who are much in need of wagons.
Article 16 of the peace treaty
states that within two months of
the coming into force of the present
treaty German arms, munitions. and
war material, including anti-aircraft
material. existing in Germany in
excess of the quantities allowed,
must be surrendered to the govern
ments of the principal Allied and
associated powers, to be destroyed
or rendered useless"
German newspapers say that vast
stocks of wagons, field ranges and
guns and other material are stored
at military posts throughout the
country, and that the German Off
Gals are making no effort to dis
pose of them.

CHICAGO OUTBATTED
BY CINCINNATI REDS

CHICAGO, Oct. 1O.-The heavy
hitting of the Cincinnati Reds was
responsible for the defeat OF the
Chicago Americans in the final game
of the Worlds series here yester-
day. The Reds knocked both Will
Jams and James out of the box, get
ting four runs in the first inning,
one in the second, one in the fifth,
three in the sixth, and one in the
eighth. Chicago Scored one in the
third, and in the eighth inning they
staged a rally, getting four runs.
In that inning they hit Eller fairly
hard and they were assisted in
getting around the bases by Earle
Meals, who lost the ball in the sun,
letting several runs in. The bat
teries were: Cincinnati, Eller and
Rariden; Chicago, Williams, James,
Wilkinson and Schalk.
The game lasted two hours and
81 minutes, the longest of the Sc
ries.

BOULDERS HOLDING
WORK UP ON GRADE

Arrivals in Nenana from the
right-of-way beyond the end of
steel, south of town, report that
the contractors who are engaged in
building grade for the railroad in
that section are having considerable
difficulty on account OF the number
of boulders encountered in scraping
operations. A crust of frost, rang
ing from a few inches to half a
foot, also is handicapping the grad
ers and holding the work back to
some extent.
The work of building the wagon
road around the lower end of the
canyon, which is being done under
the direction of Foreman Burke,
is proceeding very satisfactorily,
however, according to reports re-
ceived by The News The road is
being well built and the work is
moving rapidly, about two miles of
road having been built since Burke
and his gang started operations
The wagon road starts at the
mouth of the canyon and will con-
meet the main supply camp, to be
established there, with the camps
along the right south. The
road is now within about a mile
and a half of the kestly camp.

Rumored threats of a Pacific
coast secession movement in the
event of failure to endorse the
strike idea by the federation was
laughed at today by Moneys
representatives who said that
the strike vote had been lighter
on the Pacific coast than on the
Atlantic coast. 1t had been ex-
pected that an effort to get the
July 4 strike endorsed here
would be made and the milder
tone of the proposal now made
may win some support that
would not have gone to the more
ldrastic proposal. 1t is more than
doubtful, however, that the "a

anywhere near winning and the
fact seems to be that it's propo-
nents do not really expect it to
win. The belief of most dele

Worlds need is re.
newed industry,
g. not charity

Washington, ID. c. June H.
The greatest need today in Eu-
rope, as in America, according to
Government officials who have
been closely i'll touch with world
conditions, is not food or any
form of charity but the resump-
ton of industry. This point was
strongly emphasized also by spea-
kers at the recent Pan-American
Convention held in this city. Many
in Government circles who are
devoting special consideration to
the human side of world affairs
point out that the opportunity
which America now has to promo
te industrial rehabilitation de-
manqs the placing of this coun-
try's own production on a more
sound basis.
The first step in such program
is the elimination of waste, both
of materials and human effort
for America is declared to be one
of the most wasteful nations in
the world. The argument used
by the 7 al II ing SerV i c e
is that this new feature in
manufacturing, produces mar
ked conservation of human
effort as well as materials.
Production chats exhibited by
the Service show aasurprising diff
ference in records made by typi-
cal wOrkmen before and after tax
ing training courses. They reveal
a steady increase in output under
the beneficial guidance of an ms
truftOr and an equally prOnoun-
ced decline in the salvage curve.
This performance, coupled with
the fact that training cuts in two
the learning period, accounts for
the large material benefit result
ing from systematic training,
Leading manufacturers in this
country have adopted the train
ing program advocated by the
Training Service as direct prac
teal means of preventing the
waste and promoting readjust-
ment now so much needed by Anne
rican industries. The first step
toward the rehabilitation of indus
tries throughout the world is read
iustment of Industries at home,
they say. The courses which the
Training Service prepared are be
ing instituted in a great variety
of manufacturing and the demand
for the assistance of the Services
experts is also growing.

Mooney has been the victim of a

2,-That a committee be
appointed to proceed to Wash

Six hours day prac.
teal, says British
employers

Washington.-A book written
by Lord Leverhulme, British ma
nufacturer, in favor of the six
hour day, will make interesting
reading for American chambers OF
commerce and manufacturers as
sOciations, says Prof. VIM. L. Og
burn, formerly of the University
of Washington, in review of the
book which is published in the
Monthly Labor Review of the
United States bureau of labor sta
tiScs.
Lord Leverhulme is pictured as
anything but a moralist, a senti'
mentalist or fanatic, and is
strongly opposed to all forms of
philanthropy and charity. He is
a hard man., writes Prof. Ogburn
who quotes the Britisher:
"There could be no worse friend
to labor than the benevolent, phi.
lanthopic employer who carries
his business in a loose, lax man
ner, showing kindness to his en-
ployes".
In the book are several pages of
evidence to show that by using
machinery continuously at it's
highest point of productivity for
two siX-hOur shifts, the worker
will produce more than under pre-
sent systems. Lord Leverhulme
thinks the time is ripe now for
the siX-hour day in England with
the same wage rate as is now
paid for eight and ten hours. He
favOrs not only high, but still high
er wages, but wants the employees
to share in the profits of industry
His profit sharing plan, which he
terms "cO-partnership", is in nc
sense the usual American substi
tute for living wage, but is a re
turn over and above the trade
union rate of wages and acts in nc
sense as a bar to further wage in
creaSeS.
He wants to abolish poverty
and in advocating good homes fol
the workers would limit the mum
ber of houses on an acre of grOun(
so that every home would have {
garden.
According to Lord Leverhulme
industrial success is concerned
quite as much with consumers a.
producers. Many leaders of indu.
try have seemed primarily cOncer
ned with production, and theil
interest in consumption consists
largely in marketing. Lord Lever
hulme seems to have a broader col
ceptiOn of marketing and makes
his social philosophy turn gOot
deal on this point of consumption
Raising the standard of living
means creating a market. Hence
higher wages are good because
they mean a better market.
"Ninety per cent of the cOnsu-
mers of the United Kingdom are
workers, he says. "The six-hOul
day means two more hours Ol
leisure, which furnish opportunity
for education, the higher life and
the expenditure of more money
thus improving the market. The
plan of two shifts means enabling

HINES CALLS DEALING
WITH LABOR NONSENSE
Director Of Railroads Says
Union Members Don't Obey
Their Own Rulers

Washington. Oct. 13.-(By A ~
strikes of railroad employees, such ms
that in the Altoona, Pa, yards OF the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad, were declared
today by Director General Hines as
creating the basis for the argument
that II is nonsense to deal with labor
organizations because they will not obey
their own rulers and therefore MAKE
the orderly handling of business impos-
sible. -
The statement was made in letter
to Il. NJ. Jewell. acting president OF the
railway employees department OF the
American Federation of Labor IN re-
gard to the Altoona strike. Mt. Zines
reiterated that the railroad adminiStra
tion's policy was that no grievance or
railroad employees could be considered
while the workers involved remained on
strike.
Emphasizing the seriousness OF every
stoppaue of work at the present time
when 'thc railroad administration is
straining every nerve to serve the
people of this country and the people OF
Europe" Mr.. Hines requested that ms
warning message be transmitted to the
strikers.
