SCHWAB URGES MARINE
AS SUBSIDIARY OF NAVY
Steel Magnate, Here, Foresees Re.
turn to Normal in Indus
try Soon.

That the merchant marine should be
subsidiary of the United States Navy.
and that during peace time the gov
eminent should pay the difference to
the owners between foreign and
American labor because of the right
the government would have to call on
these ships in an emergency, is the
opinion expressed by Charles NJ.
Sehwab, who spent few hours. in
was on his private car EN- route for
weeks rest at White, Sulphur
Springs =.
The steel magnate said that this was
only his personal opinion" but in
view of his record in connection with
the Americas shipbuilding industry in
1918. it is an Interesting one.
+ The present system will never build
up an American merchant marine" he
said. Our laws must be changed to
induce American capital to invest and
to be safeguarded. Thousands of tons
of American bottoms are lying idle in
American harbors today on account of
existing legislation. Until We can
show American capital a profit on its
investment in the American merchant
marine our ships will lie as they do
now. 1 do not like to use the word
subsidy but there is no other that 1
can think of that fits so well.
Just think that the Panama canal,
built by American capital, charges
more tolls to an American vessel pass
ing through the locks than it does to
an English ship. l am informed that
the reason is due to the existing
treaties. Then we should move at once
ito have them modified"
{. Regarding the steel industry. Mr..
{Schwab pointed out that the reason
things therein are not active is the
fact that there is no building. He
added that he looked for a brisk mar
.ket soon, as the railroads will soon
beginlto buy and business should re-
sumo its normal status. He paid
tribute to the press of the country
for the part it played in the world
conflict in general and in the success
of the shipbuilding program in par
ticular.
The results of our labors in the
shipyards." he said, ARE owed more
to the newspaper men than any one
else. 1 cannot make this point too
strong" Mr.. Schwab said he would
consider the invitation sent to him to
be one of the speakers 70 address the
big mass meeting planned for the Ma
tionaI Capital in connection with the
Red Cross Sunday, November II.

Uncle Ted,' spoke up Jack,
what was Grandpa so mad about

turn them to their owners. But,

extent. Otherwise competitive
bidding between the counties
might make a serious problem in
getting contractors into he work.
In the state + Tennessee there
will be IS, 00O,0O0.00 worth Of
work done during the year 1920.
This will require large numbers
of men and vast amounts of road
materials. Ire supervision alone
will comprise a very large item.
Usually it is considered that about
five percent of the expenditure
should go to engineering and SUI
pervision. Five percent of the
$1,000, 100000 will be $500, 100000,
which would employ 200 men at
salaries of 100000 a year.
ENGINEERS
With the need of two hundred
engineers in the state of Tonnes
see the problem is apt to be acute
A highway engineer cannot be
made overnight. He should hove
a four years training at a univer-
sity, with considerable practical
experience in highway ~construc-
ton and supervision. We cannot
wait until the men are graduated
from the universities. w must
have men trained in fundamental
at the earliest possible moment.
In order to meet this demand the
universities are putting in short
courses in Highway Engineering
to be given during the dull sea-
son of the year, to trese men who
expect to enter into highway work
At the University of Tennessee
this course will be given from
January IL to february 20.

king the people of the United

ago | told you about this Cummins
bill, named after Senator Albert
B. Cummins of Iowa which would
make it possible to turn the rail-
roads back to their owners and
put a stop to the government run
ming them. 1t is by far the best
bill that ras been written to take
care of that situation. One part
of it, called the Anti-strike clause

would make it impossible for two
or more railroad men to strike,
that is, quit work, with a view
to tying up transportation and
causing starvation and suffering
for lack of trains with which to
carry food"
Can they do that now" asked
Ruth.
Eyes, they can. There is no law
to stop it; but witr the Cummins
bill made a law they could not.
And the Cummins bill furnishes
a much more fair way for the
railroad men to settle all their
troubles. 1t provides for a Com

and the men would have a much
better chance of getting justice
than under the old plan of strikes.
Not to mention ire horrible suf-
fering a railroad strike would

this bill from December 2 to De-

That is not true. There is nohing
in he bill to prevent a man from
quitting his work any time and
any place he wants to, but it does
provide punishment, as it should

TRANSFORMATIONS

TRANSPORTATION
When any state enters upon
such a program great engineering
and transportation difficulties
will arise. Vast amounts of mater
ials must be moved from the place
of their origin to ire places of use
in construction. This will make a
very great demand upon our pres
ent overburdened railroad system
to any nation at any previous
time. During the next five years
there will be at the disposal of
the state Highway Department a
grand total of as mucr as $3,000,-
600, 100000. The program as out
lined for the year 1920 looks to
the expenditure of more than
$500, 000, 100000 At no time in the
history of the world have such
vast sums of money been made
available for any particular line
of work. The greatest era of rail-
road construction came betwene
the years of 1879 and 1883. The
expenditure was something like
like S800,000, 100000, and iris UNI
der the five year period. During
that time some 10000 miles of
railroad were constructed at a
cost of 100000 per mile. Con-
sidering the advance in price of
labor and engineering material as
being II hundred per cent still
the actual amount of work to be
Plans should be laid far in adj
vance in order that materials may
be placed on the ground by the
time that construction begins.
The govrnment of the United
States is attempting to assist the
State Highway Departments as
much as trey possibly can in the
handling of materials, Large mum
bers OF army trucks and tractors
have been placed in the hands of
county, and state officials and
these may be used in motor truck
transportation. A need, however,
will be strongly felt in this direc-
ton. Trained operators must be
secured to care for these vehicles
and many of the counties will find
it necessary to install a motor
transportation department.
LABOR
The problem Of obtaining tire
required amount of labor to do
more work than the railrads did
during the great obstruction pro
gram will be a serious one. Fore
thought must be used to prevent
the diverting of labor from other
needed industries and placing
it upon the highway program. The
possibility of competitive bidding
looms up wre such vasat amount
Of money is to be expended.
