States has increased only about 10 per
cent. The matter Of food supply k
becoming . scrsoaa question and unless
the farmer can get the help needed.
that supply viii BE- greatly eurtailed
this coming season. The farmer ia
working sixteen hours per day during
the summer season end selling has pro
duce for less than il actually costs him
in time and money. He cannot and
will not pay the high wages demanded
by our so-called labor leaders. There
is limit to his patience and sndur-
anee. The so-callcd labor leaders are
in the saddle now, but the steeds upon
which they are riding are gettinG
windcd and are out for fall. and that
fall 10 near at hand.
At a recent meeting Of representa-
tives OF large number Of farmers in
southern New Hampshire. this matter
was discussed and il brings new light
to the situation. One Of the isAding-
farmers Of Londonderry said. Last.
year we hired three farm hands 70 as
sist my father and myself in rsising
foodstuffs This year we are not go,
ing TO hire any help because Of the
high wages. We are simply going TO
run the farm ourselves and raise what
we need for our own consumption and
sto,. as that Tl.ta f.r.... .iax s..A
that the same conclusion had been ar
rived at by many OF his fellow farmers
in that part Of the state. From my
own experience find this same senti-
ment growing. The increasing and in
sistent demands Of labor are discour-
aging the farmer and the time is near
at hand when he is going 10 sit down
on his job and care for himself and
his family.
II large number Of our New Eng
land farmers begin TO curtail their
production, what il 10 be the inevita-
BILE result?' The cight-hour laborers
with their high wages are going TO get
hungry, for money will not buy food
stuffs that are not in existence Let
labor cease its demand for higher
wages and shorter hours and join with
the farmer in trying to solve the prob
lem of how to supply the city demands
for food Encourage the farmer 70
hold on a little while longer as he did
during the World War, instead Of
drawing away the help upon which he
depends for the working of his farm.
Organized labor and the farmers
ought to get together and work for
longer hours and no increase in wages
until the present crisis in food produe
ton has passed. Until this is done.
the dwellers in the city are going b.
go hungry and the farmer will have
what he needs for his own use. This
is the situation today from the far
mers' standpoint

MOTOR TRUCKS SAVED THE DAY

The motor truck saved the day for
many manufacturers during the recent
railroad strike.
With freight shipments paralyzed
many concerns faced complete shut
downs, had ii not been for the employ
ment of motor caravans TO transport
raw materials and keep productisn
normal.
The Goodyear Tire a. Rubber Com
pany Of Akron, proved its ability TO
cope with any emergency situation
that might arise, and kept its factories
running full blast during the strike
period, by mastering into emergency
service 100 large pneumauc-tircd
trucks. These five caravans Of 20
trucks each transported supplies to
Akron from New York at the rate Of
one million pounds a week. Equippcd
with giant Goodyear pneumatic tires
they made the 700-mile run from New
York in six days, carrying large loads
of finished tires to the east on the re-
turn trips. Test cars were enlisted as
pilot cars for the caravans while the
companys 30 regular Akron-Cleveland
and Akron Boston motor truck freight
carriers were also pressed into emer-
gency service.
Operating on exacting schedules and
over bad roads, the five big caravans
came through TO Akron on scheduled
time. their pneumatic tire equipment
having made possible an average
speed Of 20 miles an hour. II was one
Of the severest tests TO which pneu-
matte tires have been subjected in

conductor is Charles T. Phillips OF

A review of the evidence obtained at

TELEPHONE PROGRESS
New Multiplex System Adds Greatly
10 the Efficiency Of Service.

TO the Ethciency OF Service
Work has started on the installation
Of telephone equipment which WIN
give New England the second multi
plex telephone system in the world
directed over ordinary telephone
wireS-
When completed about July /, this
multiplex telephone system viii con-
meet Boston and Bangor. Me. Without
constructing any additional circuits
the special equipment will provide the
equivalent of four additional lines. IL
will make possible five conversations
between ten people over single cir
cult at one time.
For example, one telephone sub
scriber in Worcester, one in New Bed
ford, one in Lowell, one in Waltham
and one in East Boston, can talk sim
ultaneously over one Boston to Ban
gor circuit with five other subscribers
in Bangor, Millinocket, Bar Harbor,
Calais and st. John, N. B.
1t will also be possible to use this
multiplex system in such a way that
the equivalent of 20 telegraph circuits
may be established on one telephone
circuit, although the system will not
be utilized for telegraph purposes al
present.
Special terminal apparatus will Dc
installed in the central offices al
Wakefield, Mass, and at Bangor, and
special intermediate apparatus will be
placed in the Portland central Office
for the purpose of giving additional
strength to the electrical waves
This multiplex system is the last
word in telephone toll transmission
At the present time it is only econom'
ical for long lines. While II can bt
used for distances less than $50 miles
the cost makes it prohibitive for gen

The installation Of the system vii
assist in giving a prompter service
with high grade Of transmission u
Eastern Maine and the Maritime prov
inees without adding to the cable o.
wire facilities between Boston an'

Telephone officials say il is almos
impossible to obtain proper supplies o
telephone cable and pole line equip
ment, and this multiplex system is on
result of the inventive genius and re
sourcefulness of telephone engineer
in meeting the present restricted con
dition of the supply market.
The system was invented and devel
oped by the scientific staff of th'
American Telephone g. Telegraph Co.
and was first used several months age
between Baltimore and Pittsburg.
