imical to the foreign commerce. of tho
United States. Senator Jones charged
II bound the company "to pursue no
policy Injurious to the interests of the
British merchant marine or of BRIT.

The agreement, originally drafted in

Franklin told the board, to offset nd.
vantages gained by the Cunard line
when the British government began
to build up that line by loans and In.
vorable mail contracts, following ac.
QUESTION of British tonnage by the
international Mercantile Marine The
agreement gave the International Mer
camille Marine the .beneft of British
mail and other valuable contracts. He
denied that 1t had been kept secret
as charged by Senator Jones'"
During nineteen years OF operat-
Ing under these agreements" he con
tinued. I'VE have never been nterfered
with by the British government IN the
management of our ships, and no re.
straint of any kind has ever been
placed upon us.
During this entire period we have
had American hagshIps In competition
with British ships and British flag
ships which we own IN strong ana
continuous competition with the Gu
nard and other British companies"
Mr.. Franklin emphasized that the
company was an American corpora
ton, 9311 per cent of Its stock being
owned by American citizens Only one
half OF ! per cent OF the stock IL
held by English investors, he said, and
n similar amount by Canadians.
He asserted that, recognizing the
development Of national aspirations for
I'M American merchant marine, the
company began negotiations in 1918 to
dispose of Its British ngShps To Il
brltish syndicate, but that the sale
was stopped at the request Of Presi-
dent Wilson.
He read three letters from Mr.. VIII
son In support of his assertion and
also read excerpts from the Con
gresslonal Record TO SHOW that Sena-
tor Jones was one OF those who OPP
posed the sale. lie added that the
United States government then bought
the ships, but later withdrew from the
transaction.
Continuing. Mr.. Franklin reviewed
efforts of the company to buy thirty
four former German ships from the
United States for total of S2S,JOO,OW
and said the company had offered To

I'VE acted without consultation with

MIsDIRECTED MAIL.

1t seems almost inconceivabie, but it
is reported as an official fact, that 800,
900 pieces of misdirected mail are hand
led daily at the New York postofiice,
which includes Manhattan only. This
means thatl27, $50, 900 misdirected pieces
are handled every year in this one
metropolitan center. 1t requires no
Imagination to appreciate what this
means by way of hampering and slow
ing down the Postal Service. Great
armies of postal clerks, who might other
wise be engaged in facilitating the gen
eral service, are thus tied down TO the
problem of rectifying the mistakes and
supplying the omissions that are charge
able to careless correspondents We
Americans sort of take our Postal Ser
vice for granted. We kick like steers
when one letter out of the millions
handled daily goes astray or is delayed
few hours; yet we are so neglectlul Of
our own responsibilities in this connec-
ton that we pile thousands Of pieces Of
misdirected mail into the postofhce and
expect that the postal machinery can
and must in some way surmount our
own negligence.
The New York situation is merely
typical of the situation in every other
city in the land Take Grand Rapids,
| for example Postmaster Hogadone
says that, as nearly as can be estimated d,
the local postofIice handles 1000 pieces
of misdirected mail every twenty four
hours; and, in addition thereto, about
0,0G0 pieces of mail are received with
out street addresses. 1t requires the full
time of five clerks here i'm Grand Rapids
alone to correct the addresses on mis-
directed mail The mail without COM
plete address causes loss Of time to dis
tributors who could otherwise have been
employed in handling properly the fully
addressed mail thereby making i pos
sble in many instances to give an ear
lier delivery. We who constantly yell
for greater economy" and greater
efficiency in the public service may
we'll pause and ask ourselves whether it
wouldn't be a good thing, a consistent
thing, if we took little more care in
making economy" and efficiency" in
the public service possible The Postal

Guise Of Woman

Ladysmith, Wis, Aug. S.-Harry
Ballou, paper manufactures of this
city, Witnessed a holdup that was
accomplished with much precision
and through a clever ruse, while he
was motoring from Cedar Lake.
Two men in an automobile who
were coming from Rice Lake toward
Ladysmith noticed what appeared to
be an old woman, bent with age and
the weight of a heavy pack, making
her way slowly and wearily up hill
between Lehigh and Canton.
Moved by pity, the two travellers
stopped their car and asked the
stranger to ride. Stepping on the
running board, the woman" cover
ed the motorists with pistol, de-
manding:
Hands up It's your money
want and not a ride"
The travellers at once recognized
their guest was man. They turned
over about STA in cash. The thief
then disappeared into the weeds.

Ford's Proposed Coal
Rate Cut Protested

Washington, Aug. 8. Henry
Ford's proposal to reduce rates on
coal barged down the Ohio river from
Ironton, Ohio, to Detroit, and from
the Ironton and Jackson county dis
tricts in Ohio, has brought protests
and requests for suspension from the
Northern West Virginia Coal Oper-
ators' association and from associa-
tions of operators in the Harlan,
Hazard and South Appalachian dis
tricts in Kentucky. West Virginia,
Virginia and Tennessee. While none
of the trunk line railroads whose
rates are endangered by what Ford
proposes doing have Joined the opera
tors, it is known that they are in
fun sympathy If the Ford rates are
allowed to become effective, it is be-
Iieved the whole rate structure made
by the interstate commerce commits
sion in obedience to the law requir-
ing the establishment of rates that
would give a return of 6 per cent
to the railroads, will fall. That
structure was reared less than a year
ago.
