ABLE 10 IL FREIGHT eTminalS Are What Traffic Capacities

< WaEhington, Jan. 7.-Inadequate sterlnibals constitute the principal linn itation on railroads traffic capaci- ties, said Carl R. Gray, director Of the railroad administrations division Of opera tions, in his report for l916' made public today by Director Gener- al McAdoo. This is one of the great lessons of the years operations ol railroads as a unit he declared.
 "Given average weather condl- tions," he said, ''and with the excep- ton of the Pittsburgh gateway, there is no question of the ability of rail- roads to transport to destination all of the freight offering. either domes- tic or for overseas, provided there are facilities for prompt disposition and unloading st destination.
 "The controlling factor throughout our experience has not been In the road transportation, but at the ulti- mate destination, and any serious conditions Of congestion obtaining on any of the trunk lines en route has been the reflex of conditions at the 1 terminals themselves"
 Advises New Trunk Line. Taking up the Pittsburgh situation,
 MT. Gray recomn ended building of i a new east and west trunk line avoid i ing the Pittsburgh industrial district
 "The extraordinary development of : industrial activities around Pitts l bureh" he said, and the enormous 1 tonnage which is handled locally | makes 1t very difficult to use this i gateway for trunk line traffic, and : this is especially true when the | through and local business increases coincidentally. is usually the case. Physical conditions, which embrace
 a narrow gorge and a large city, ren- 1 der the solution of this problem e%- ceedingly difficult of local treatn ent. It is my conviction that as soon as practicable the trunk line railroads i through Pittsburgh should be re- i lieved by the construction or an on
 tirely new line for freight purposes,
 connecting them east and west Of Pittsburgh, but avoiding the indus
 trial area
 i Referring to the limited embargo, or permit system put into effect dur
 ing the year, applying to shipments destined for over-cong gested terminals,
 or specific consignees the report
 said:
 EIT1bargoes Serve Purposes.
 '',The permit system has fully justi- ! fled itself. Every effort has been made
 to utilize it without undue dIscr1m-
 ination. To it's successful operation
 s due considerable meas sure of the great improvement in movement
 which has been had during federal 1 control"
 Much of the credit for heavier load ing of freight cars effected during l government management was due, MT. 1 Gray asserted, to the cooperation ot
 shippers in loading cars fuller, and
 adopting different means of packing.

WORKERS ARE THE
TRUE AMERICANS

When war was imminent and
apparently inevitable, Labor prom
ised the Government its full sup
port.
When war was commenced Labor
gave the country all it had in
Drawn and blood to bring victory to
our flag.
On the contrary, the capitalists,
with a few genuinely patriotic eX-
ceptions, gave TO their country all
they could unload at eXorbitant
prices, all the while waving the
flag and proclaiming their love Of
country. The most of what the
Government got out of this class
was forced out of them.
The people were made to believe
they were fighting to make the
world safe for democracy, and they
were filled with promises of justice
and a square deal to labor.
When it became evident that the
autocracies of the world must fall,
the plutocrats Of the United States
organized to force labor back into
pre-war conditions, and even before
the armistice was signed, they COM
menced their nefarious game.
The promises of democracy, po-
litical and industrial, were merely
moonshine.
Every move made by Labor to
hold it's own, to protect itself, to Sc
cure enough pay upon which to live
decently; every effort to stay the
hand of the rent hogs and all the
rest of the profiteering gang, has
been falsely denounced by the rob-
Der band as "un-American." Every
thing to them is un-American which
does not tend to fatten their pocket
books.
They have thrown this un-Amer-
lean stuff at the heads of trades
unionists until they have become
tired of it, and now they will get it
handed back to them.

ing was held at the Arena in Seat

A BILL TO OIL THE
WHEELS OF GRAFT

There is bill before Congress to
reduce the tax on oleomargarine
from 10 cents per pound to Y cent
per pound, "to reduce the cost of liv-
ing" and remove the barriers of
existing law to the coloring of oleo-
margarine in imitation of butter.
Pretty smooth move to place a block
in the way of the Kenyon-Anderson

is nothing to prevent the big pack
ers from absorbing the 81 cents
per pound now collected by the Gov
eminent. The manufacture of cleo

LABOR PAPERS
BEST HOLIDAY
ADVERTISING
CBy II. King IIarris.)

BN II. hlnP IidTIlS.
Merchants will spend even more
this year on holiday advertising,
than formerly. With peace condi-
tions now in force. with wages on
a high level and with work in
abundance, the holiday season will
see decided activity, and every mer-
chant who Will make the effort can
depend on a large volume Of trade.
But the merchants who go along
in the old advertising ruts are
making a sad mistake, for there is
one avenue of assured trade that
needs only the invitation to bring
the buyers to the store-that avenue
is the local Labor Paper. The writ
er has occasion to read over $50 To-
cal labor papers each and every
week, and it is a gratifying sign of
the times to see so many local
firms using space in the Labor
Press.
The general dailies, with their
columns of patent medicine ads,
their heavy classified columns and
mixed ads, present a serious prob
lem to the local dealer who wants
action for the money expended in
advertising, for unless special pre-
ferred position be given, and paid
for, the copy must be of excessive
size, and this is especially true in
the pre-Christmas days, to compel
attention. In the local labor paper
the advertising is not crowded, it
has better chance of being read, and

best Of all, it is acted upon.
Perhaps some dealers feel that
the labor paper is just a sheet to
patronize on Labor Day, or on some
special occasion, but experience in
many cities has brought the lesson
home that Labor Press ads pay ev-
cry local concern who will take this
means of inviting organized wage
earners to their stores. No two
ways about 1.-THE organized work
ers embrace 1870 of the purchas-
ing power of the United States. The
wage-earners have the larger fam
lilies as a rule-and they have the
money to buy with. If a store does
not have interest enough to patron
ize the Labor Paper-then certainly
labor does not have sufficient in
terest to patronize that store.
Results from labor paper adver-
Using are not problematical-fa
from it-they are certain and space
costs less than in the average daily.
So if the merchants this year will
use discernment and business judg-
ment, they will by all means do as
so many others are doing, the coun-
try over, and go after the organized
wage-earners and see that this all

icanism.
The meeting was called to order
by President J. G. Mundy, of the
Central Labor Council
The first speaker, William Short,
President of the State Federation OF
Labor, traced the history of liberty
and true Americanism in the United
States. He showed that the first
apostles of freedom in this country
met in the Caulkers Hall in Boston.
Thus, it was shown, the first be-
ginnings of Americanism took place
in a union hall
Labor is the real force for
Americanism," Short declared. 1--WE
resent question of our loyalty by
profiteering pirates.
They call the closed shop un-
American. Yet the very founda-
lions of Americanism rest upon the
principles of the closed shop.
Lincoln said that q house divid-
ed against itself cannot stand and
that Americans could not endure
half slave and half free. And hay-
ing decided that America must be
all free, we enforced that decision.
Wasn't that the principle of the
closed shop?
And when we tell immigrants
that they must either work and
become Americans or leave our
shores, isn't that the principle of
the closed shop?
IF we are un-American, so was
Abraham Lincoln.
Eve responded to the principles
enunciated during the war by those
who forgot them as soon as the war
was ended. Labor sprang to the
support of the nation. There were
no millionaires made in the ranks
of labor when Americas destiny
hung in the balance.
I'VE will not permit this brand
of autocracy to be inflicted upon the
citizens of Seattle, even under the
guise of Americanism. With our
organized force we intend to see
that real Americanism survives"
The audience, which had been
giving the speakers words rapt at
tention, broke into hearty applause
at the conclusion Of his address.
Let 'er buck" was the instruc-
tions to l.. w. Buck, Secretary of
the State Federation of Labor, the
next speaker.
"She WILL" responded Buck, and
she sure did. Buck was the orig
inator Of the plan which resulted
in the formation of the True Amer
lean Club.
Buck sailed right in on the brand
of Americans" who thought only
of profits and interest during the
war and who robbed people who
were dying while fighting for
America.
The true patriot need not wrap
himself in flag and parade up
and down the street. We workers
need not continuously shout our
patriotism. Our deeds proclaim it,"
Buck said that the United States
Chamber of Commerce had, as a
starter, raised fund of 1000, 900
for the purpose of waging a vicious
campaign of propaganda throughout
the country.
If it's worth five millions to
them, what ought protection to be
worth to us?"
Illuminative Of the un-American
campaign which is being waged in
local schools, Buck told how his lit
tie daughters teacher had told the
class that only union men and Boil

dren were, at the time, being cor

mines are SO deep and the overhead expense is
