against any conference report on the railroad bill
which does not provide at least two years ex-
tension of the period of government operation.
They secured pledge also that these men would
oppose all sedition legislation.
II is said that some of the Minnesota congress
men afterward told their associates that they had
been driven" to make these pledges. Nevertheless
they will probably vote as they stand pledged to
the organized farmers and wage-workers.
The members from Nebraska, Wisconsin, Michi-
gan and Iowa have similarly been visited and have
gone record on the railroad issue, as have the
senators from all five states. North Dakota and
South Dakota are to have their turn also. A joint
representative of the state Oranges of Washing
ton, Idaho, Oregon and Colorado has had inter
views with the members from those states on the
railroad bill.
On the day that the last White House conference
took place the house conferees the Esch- Cunl-
Minis bill announced that they would go before
the house to ask instructions upon the matters
in dispute between themselves and the senate con-
ferees. They desired instructions on the matter
of higher freight rates to be guaranteed the pri-
the proposed compulsory delay or forbidding of
strikes. The ant-strike clause was conceded to
be dead, but the private owners of the roads were
demanding that generous guarantees of revenue
be made in the bill, if they to attempt to OPP
crate their properties henceforth. They admitted
that they would require higher freight rates for
private operation than would be required this year
for continued public operation.
These farmer-labor delegations have been effec-
tive in persuading large number of congressman
that the people at home dc not want to pay cent
more in freight charges in 1920 than is absolutely
necessary; they have informed them that the polit
ical future of any congressman who adds unnec-
essary burden to the freight charge against the
peoples food and clothing and fuel will be clouded

service report, "the country

on the basis of permanent

urged that the mill waste be
utilized for paper making and
that the forests Of this country
be regenerated and administer

Mill waste is well adapted for
paper making by chemical pro-

the cost of logging and freight.
Sweden has shown the world
how to handle the paper situa-

The national forests, which
contain what timber remains
as the property of the people,
are well administered, in
striking contrast with the
criminal carelessness with
which private holdings are
handled. Note in this pic
ture how underbrush and
weeds, constant fire menaces,
are removed. Sheep have
been pastured here, thus not
merely removing weeds but
earning a revenue for the
government. In contrast most
private holdings of timber
land are allowed to go neg
lected and if they are not
burned over before the tim
Der is cut, fire invariably
starts later from slashings
and spreads until vast forest
areas are destroyed. A pic
ture in the Leader of Feb-
ruary 8 indicates the condi-
tion Of the ordinary for

On the occasion of an earlier

spokesmen on the same railroad

visitors that "the presidents

there was sent out from the
White House the proclamation
of the president that he thereby
restored, "as Of date March 1,
1920" the railroad properties to
the control Of their private own
ers. This time Mr.. Tumulty
was plainly worried by the
forceful manner in which the
farmer and labor delegates de-
clared against this return of the
transportation system to private
hands. He told them no more,
however, than that he would re-
port their statements to his
chief.
Messrs. Griffith, Welch and
Hall talked to the congressman

and pulp timber will be all used up in less than
20 years in every region except the Pacific coast
and Alaska, according to the United States forest
service, which has been Investigating the situation
since news print paper has quadrupled in cost.
The economic and political programs of the or
ganized farmers especially are affected by this
shortage. Every day it becomes more difficult for
the comparatively owned farmer papers of the
Northwest to secure news print paper. To the
extent that the anti-farmer papers can outbid or
otherwise get the available supply of this neces-
sity away from the farmers papers, the enemies
of the farmer will be able to monopolize the news
paper field and mold public opinion. Hence the
Importance of this statement by the forest services
In less than 20 years 95 per cent of the pulp
and paper mills of the country, mainly those in the
East, will have practically exhausted their sup
plies of spruce, henlock and fr-the principal
woods from which news print paper is made. Il
The actual cutting Of these woods in the New
England states is approximately 3262, 900 cords,
and at this rate the supply will last approximately
II years The estimated supply in the Lake states,
at the present rate of cutting, will last 18 years;
for Pennsylvania Maryland, Virginia and North
Carolina the supply will be exhausted in 10 years.
