COSTOFPRLNIING
THEDAHYRECORD
OFCONCRESSLE

The cost of publishing the Congress
sional Record. the government publ
cation recording daily everything
that is said and done in Congress. as
well as something outside. was $751;
$40 last year. practically the same as
for 1918. but about 100000 less than
the 1917 cost
These figures were given recently
by Russell o. Beene. accountant at
the government printing office, in
answer to an inquiry of Representa-
tive Magee of New York as to the
possible saving that would result from
the discontinuance of the Record. Mr..
Beene gave the cost for 1917 as $S01,-
790.88 and for 1918 as S537.640.
Cornelius Ford, the. public printer,
was asked for an explanation of the
high figure in 1917, but confessed his
ignorance unless it happened that
Congress did more talking" that
year. Mr.. Ford said that in 1917 Con-
greSS was in session ESQ days; in
1918, 307 days. and in 1919, 279 days.
The printed pages in the Record for
these years were 652,511.964 in 1917,
63,672,5S in 1918 and ASS, 130.450 in
1919. The cost of paper has increased
greatly within the past three years.
but the use of a lighter and less ex-
pensive quality has helped reduce the
aggregate cost of the paper used. For
1919 the paper cost was $4,000 as
compared with $4,000 in 1913 and
$4,000 in 1917.

The American people is very credu-

DENIES ABROGATION
OF FIXED STEEL PRICES
Federal Trade Commission Dis
misses Application of
Fabricators.

Application of 700 steel fabricators
for abrogation of the so-called Pitts
burgh basing point for steel prices,
was dismissed yesterday by the Fed
eral Trade Comm ission. -
The vote of the commission was
three to two, Commissioners Murdoch
Colver and Gashkill voting for dis
missal, and COMMISSIONERS Thomp-
son and POLAND voting in the mega
tive.
The proceedings were instituted
about eight months ago and extensive
public hearings were held by the
commission. The applicants argued
that the practice, particularly of the
United States Steel Corporation, in
fixing the price of steel as at Pitts
burgh, operated to discriminate in
favor of plants located in the Pitts
burgh district and against fabrica-
tors and consumers in such centers
as Chicago. Duluth and Birmingham.
They also argued that the Pittsburgh
basing point was in violation of the
Clayton antitrust act and also con-
stitute an unfair method of competition.

New sion Posts.

One of the things most admired In
France by the doughboy intrusted with
the delivery of important messages, or
truck loads of ammunition. was the
sign posts telling him precisely how
far he was from his destination. But
they were antiquated in some In
stances, and so small that they could
not be read at d distance. Just be-
fore the outbreak of the war France
was planning to have them replaced
by larger ones arranged on a more
scientific basis. Then came the war.
1t now costs 1876 francs to set up one
sign post. and France needs $4,000 of
them.

During the early days of the war, when

driving the British back to the Suez

delivering" Egypt from the yoke of
tyranny. To facilitate this project.
the Germans sent into this country
millions of jute bags, which were to

FooLuMe THE PUBLIC

Chicago. Dec. An resisting the
plan to label cloth, opponents. are act
ing on the theory that they have di-
vine right to fool the public, says the
national sheep and wool bureau of
America
This bureau is urging the adoption
by congress of the French-C Capper
"truth-in-fabric' bill. 1t is designed
to compel textile manufacturers to
stamp their cloth with its content of
virgin new wool and of wool sub
stitutes. the chief of which is shoddy
old rags, reworked in some cases
as, often as eight times.
The measure seeks to apply to fab
ric production the principle underly-
ing the pure food law and has been
approved by manufacturers who have
never sought to deceive the public by
permitting their shoddy cloth to
masquerade as virgin wool cloth un-
der cover of the popularity misunder-
stood technical textile term "all
wool"
There is no chemical test to prove
the presence of wool shoddy in "all
WOOL cloth. Only the wearing tells
the tale-and it tells the tale after
the purchaser is fooled and the pur-
chase price is paid.
1--WE insist" says the bureau. "that
the reason that certain textile manu-
racturers wish to continue manufac-
turing 'all WOOL cloth out of uniden-
titled shoddy is that they can make
more money through the use of shod-
dy than through the use of virgin
wool. If there was compulsory la
beling law, they'd have to ask the
people lower price for shoddy cloth
because the people would not pay vir-
gin wool cloth prices for cloth that
they actually knew was shoddy."
