conferences between Senator Harding
ard Senate and House leade"s and Of
the results of the visit OF the Prcsi-
dent elect to Washington at this time
have become clearer.
In the first place. IT is accepted on
all hands that there H. to be Il course
of cooperation in the new Admins
tration between the President and
Congress. While Senator Harding
feels closer to the Senate than to the
House. because ne is a member OF
the Senate. he purposes 10 have close
relations with both bodies and with
Democrats as well as Republicans.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1920-12-07
FEELS RESPONSIBILITY.

Senator Harding himself feels this
responsibility He has said many
times he wants the country to get
back to normal conditions. In the
conferences of yesterday and today,
the need for legislation along a num-
Der OF lines to cure the worst of the
existing troubles at home has been
the uppermost topic.
Patronage. the new Cabinet, the
peace program to be built up on the
wreck Of the League OF Nations and
other matters have been treated, but
it is stated by high authority that do
nestle affairs have been at the fore.
With respect to cooperation with
Congress when he becomes President,
Senator Cummins, president pro
tempore of the Senate, said the ad-
dress Of Mr.. Harding was tactful and
would serve to promote cooperation,
and that Senators and House mem
bers. Republican and Democrat. would
feel at liberty to counsel with the
new President freely.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1920-12-07
TALK DOMESTIC AFFAIRS.

In the second place. the conferences
which have taken place rc!at" in
large part to do rcstic affairs. Much
is heard about conferences over inter-
national affairs. the Peace Treaty, the
League OF Nations and 50 on. But
the fact is that the great bulk Of tn"
talk between Mr.. Harding and Sena
tors and other leaders has conc"rnci
matters at home.
1t Is impossible to conceal the fact
that the Republican chiefs, having
been swept into power by great
vote. and having on their hands the
responsibility for running the country
the next four years. view the outlook
with real concern and anxiety. Thei:
joy over victory is mixed with a
heavy sense Of responsibility. And
that responsibility relates even more
to the tangled and troubled economic.
industrial. and financial conditions
and how to straighten them out than
1t does to international matters.

The telephone material supply situation
Is always one of factory capacity, labor,
raw materials and transportation.
Prior to August, 1914, the supply Of raw
materials; the manufactured output; labor
and transportation, was adequate. As a
result prices were low and deliveries
prompt.
From June, 1916, to April, 1917, (when
this country entered the war; prices aver
aged an advance of nearly 100 per cent and
deliveries became intoerably slow.
Raw materials for telephone purposes are
obtained from all parts Of the world.
Platinum, used in switchboards, came
from Russia.
Silk, used in vast quantities for insulat-
ing wires, comes from Japan.
Old MANILA rope, used in making paper
for insulating wires in cables, comes from
the wharves Of the world.
Diamonds, used in drawing out fine wire
for use In switchboards, came from Europe.
Many other illustrations could be given.
These foreign sources of raw materials
supply were eliminated during the period
Of the European war and are now far be-
low normal.
Lead, copper, iron and tin, used in large
quantities in the manufacture Of telephone
equipment and materials, are also essential
for the making of munitions. The war
greatly reduced the available amount Of
raw materials and lessened the telephone
manufacturers production.
Strikes in industrial centers which fur.
nished the raw materials, and strikes and
embargoes on railroads essential to trans
portation of both raw materials and the fin
ished products, are prime factors in the
present shortage in telephone materials and
facilities.
The factories Of our suppliers have ca
pscity for much larger output, but strikes,
shortage of productive labor, lack Of fuel,
shortage of transportation facilities and
embargoes affecting the sources Of raw ma
terials, have greatly interfered with their
possible output.
Today, with prices higher than war
prices, the demand greater than ever
known, current production Is far lass than
the demand, being approximately 40 per
cent below the average, with deliveries slow
and uncertain.
In the face Of this condition the demand
for telephone service has increased and COLI
tinues to increase enormously.
= TO meet this demand all available sur
plus facilities and materials were gradual
" but constantly put into use.
When the United States entered the war
in 1917, the Government needs were, Of
course, given precedence and only small
part Of the available raw materials manu-
featured from that date until the signing
Of the armistice was allotted to telephone
companies.

The Facts of the Telephone
Situation in Louisiana
BnowN presdcn,
CUMBERLAND TELEPHONE
Why Telephone Material Is So Scarce

This was true even during the period
when the Government was in possession
and control of the telephone properties Of
this country
The greater part of the available tele-
phone equipment and materials was sent to
France, none of which was ever returned.
On August LIST, 1919, when the telephone
properties were returned to the owners by
the United States Government, the avail
able supply Of equipment and material was
so small and the needs of the telephone
companies in this country so great, that all
the telephone factories in the United States,
working day and night, could not within
three years have furnished the equipment
and materials necessary to restore the ia.
cilities to the pre-war status.
The equipment and material required BY
this Company to complete its 1920 con-
struction program, will equal 1,400 car
loads Of freight, averaging 100000 pounds
to the car, hauled from different parts of
this country and delivered at hundreds of
places In the five states in which the COM
pany operates. This Is equal to thirty-fve
trains Of an average Of forty cars per train,
or $4,000 tons Of materials.
Every business man knows what this
means.
Freight shipments from the industrial
centers of the North and East ordinarily
were delivered within two or three weeks;
now much longer time is required.
The Western Electric Company is the
largest manufacturer of telephone equip
ment and materials in the world It has
representatives in all the markets of the
world. It buys it's raw materials in vast
quantities at the lowest possible prices.
The Western Electric Company furnishes
this Company with the bulk of its equip
nlent and materials and acts as our Supply
Agent.
1t did not accept any contracts from any
foreign government prior to the date the
United States entered the war and only
than at the instance Of the United States
Government. It thus held itself in readi-
ness to serve at It's maximum efficiency the
needs Of the telephone industry in this
country.
1t has capacity for much larger out
put, but strikes, shortage Of productive la
bor lack Of fuel and shortage of transport
tation, facilities affecting the securing Of
adequate raw lraterials-has curtailed its
output.
We have not relied entirely on the West.
ern Electric Company, but have placed Or
ders with other manufacturers where they
could promise deliveries. Each manufac.
turer with whom we have placed orders is
confronted with the same problems in Sc
curing his supply of raw materials.
In the face of all these difficulties the
manufacturers are turning out in excess Of
what was their normal output.
the increased costs Of labor and material
during the past four years.
