In these days when wage earners and
employers are chasing each other about
In a merry go round and legisat tive
forces are mastering their strength for
major offensiVes against the high cost
of living, ship by-truck advocates point
with pride to the two-fold manner in
which the motor truck is accommodating

the case In scores Of cities this sum.

see II looked upon with friendly eyes

searching for relief from the high cost

Surely, they say the motor truck is
coming into its own. Even as 1t de-
manded attention at the Marine, by
meeting an emergency, 1t is demanding
/ attention today by meeting emergen-
ctes. 1t is proving It has a big value
In peace as well as In war.
Realization of what the truck can do
having come, the next step, the ship
by truck advocates say, Is to make II
possible for the truck TO do fully what
the legislative forces see as its posi-
bilities The only thing standing In
the way, they hold. is bad roads, They
declare that once those responsible cut

Development of the ship-hy-truck
movement and the improvement OF
highways will move side by side. they
declare, A nationwide movement to
reduce the high cost of living, Involving
as it does cheaper transportation, also
involves nationwide movement for
good roads.
THE more it costs to get food from
the farms to the towns, the higher
the cost of living is bound to be,

Meek of the Firestone branch, Amy

lem that would keep the cost OF food

The letter suggests that the branch
bureau lend its support In all possible
ways to any effort to improve the high

Compared to the benefits they will
bring to all who eat and TO all who
wear shoes or clothing, the cost OF
hard surfaced roads Is negligible" says
Mr.. FAIR Remembering that the I'M

GOODWIN SAYS
 ZONE SYSTEM
 HERE FOR GOOD
Believes System Is Practi. cal and Public is Well
 Treated.

'-The zone system Is entirely equit- able and is here to stay" said Man ager Joseph A. Goodwin, of the Con- necticut company this morning. Man ager Goodwin is satisfied that just as soon as the difficulties of the system have worked themselves out that the rates will be acceptable to the pub lie.
 Asked if he thought that the zone system would make money for the Connecticut company Mr Goodwin said that 1t certainly would not and he did not expect it to and neither did the officers of the company.
 He went on to explain that the railroads of this country are now worse than useless due to what he claims to be unfair discrimination on the part of the public and the state This system, he says, will enable the company to live until such a time as the public and the companies may get together and save the companies and the service for the public and at the same time make money for the road directors.
 This statement was issued despfte the fact that numerous delays in the schedule of the company continue and the general riding public are far from satisfied, as is seen by their rush to use the jitneys which carry them twice as far for five cents.

TELLS OF CLOSING THE
 DORSEN BOOKS
Lewis Butt For Charges of Wolff in Tripping" Wit
 ness to Answers.

Continual ttlts between Attorney Wolff, representing the trustees at Dorsen hearing before Judge John W. Banks, and Attoroney Lewis. for the trustees, marked the mornings 8 session at the resumption of the hearing here today before Referee Banks.
 G. A. Burwin, the auditor who kept the receivers books was on the stand and was being cross examined by Attorney Wolff as to the time of the closing of the receivers books for the DOrsen company. Repeated catch questions and cross examina- tions time and again brought Attor- uey Lewis to his feet to protest against going over the same ground time and again.
 Attorney Wolff objected to the way Lewis put his objections to the court and charged that he was tipping the witness as to the way he wanted to answer the question asked. When Lewis seemed inclined to treat the charge lightly Wolff appealed to the court to put a stop to such practices which he alleges existed then. No action was taken.
 Wolff introduced the purchase rec ords of the Dorsen company and had page forty marked as an exhibit after questioning Bu1win as to the method used in keeping the books. He then introduced the record of the receivers.

 LEGISLATION
To Continue Government Guaranteed Returns to
 Railroads After Jan. 1.

Washington, Nov. 5.-Temporary legislation continuing government guaranteed returns to the railroads after their return to private control January 1 until such time as Congress can enact permanent legislation vir- tually was decided on today by the Senate Interstate Commerce Commits sion.
 Committee members said the presi- dent was determined to turn back the railroads next January and that as there was little. likelihood of the enactment of the pending permanent railroad bill by that time, some tenn porary expedient would have to be adopted.
 Chairman Cummins arranged today for conferences with Chairman Esch of the House Committee and repre- sentatives of the railway executives to discuss the temporary legislation, which he said probably would be pre- scented next week.

 tractors Profit ORAL AGREEMENT
 CONSIDERED GOOD

The largest Judgment ever given in employe against an employer was awarded today by Judge Webb of the Superior court in the action started by Charles T. Lindsay of this city against William R. Phillips, a local building contractor who erected the Black Rock plant of the Bullard En- gineering Go. The courts decision was that Lindsay is entitled to re- cover a commission of ten per cent. of Phillips profit on the Bullard con tract and as Phillips is said to have made about $13O,OO0 on the job Lind say will get between 5000 and $15. 900.
 The court ordered that the exact amount should be settled by the re- port of auditors who will go over Phillips books and see what the profit actually was.
 Attorney George F. Mara, counsel for Lindsay, claimed that Phillips made an oral agreement, while stand ing in the Pennsylvania station, New York, to give Lindsay a salary ana ten per cent. of the profits if he would become general manager ana superintendent of the Bullard job This agreement was denied by Phil lips.
 The cost of the BuIlard plant was $1130,000.

 Attorney Joseph G. Shapiro, coun- sel for the Film Co.,, claimed the matter of an injunction for "The Brat had already been assigned for a hearing before Judge Walsh in the Common Pleas court on Friday and the lawyer said he was not prepared to go. on today with the hearing be- cause he had to get witnesses from Boston and New York.

Chicago, Nov. 5-Shortage of fuel became more noticeable today in some sections of the country, especially in Montana as the approximately 425,- 900 soft coal miners added another days idleness to the strike.
