PHILIPPINE TRADERS
OPPOSE SHIPPING LAW

Extension of the American coastwise
shipping law to the Philippines. as
is now proposed, would react harm
fully on the trade of the islands. ac-
cording to Vicente Villamln. secretary
of the Chamber of Commerce of the
Philippines. The monopoly created un-
der such a policy would inevitably
result in higher freight rates, and
would subject Philippine trade to re-
taliation by other nations. he believes.
1T Is most significant that American
merchants who nave the largest per-
manent stake in the Philippines in the
form of dollars and cents, are sharply
against the extension of this law to the
Philippines" Mr.. Villamin said. THE
only beneficiaries of this law are the
few steamship companies operating in
the Far East. They are now getting
the share of the business that they
daserve. The investment represented
by them is much smaller than that of
the American merchants who are op-
posed TO this law"

JUNK IN U. S. NETS
BILLION YEAR
America PrOfiting Enormous
ly by Learning to Save
Waste Articles.
DRIVE ON BY RAILROADS
Numerous Plans Used to Cut
Expenses, Says General
Electric Officer.

ProitinR by the example or the junk
man. the American people are learning
to save their waste and are profting
enormously. This cheering news was
impaired TO the American Society or
Mechanical Engineers IN It's annual
convention at 2s West Thirty ninth
street yesterday.
"One Of our big industries said J. A.
Smith superintendent of the General
Electric Company OF Schenectady. "is
now salvaging annually moro than s0.-
900 pounds OF factory waste. The rail-
roads have also caught the spirit OF
thrift The country at large in a single
year saves scrap, including metals,
paper, rags. wool nrd cotton fabrics
aggregating more than S1.500.00O, 900.
Every pound OF junk saved at our
homes and turned over TO the JUNK
dealer in the end reaches the great
melting pot The nations OF Europe were
forced by the exigencies of war to carry
on the work OF salvaging to the great
est limit. We in America are gradually
becoming more and more aroused TO
this big problem. We ought to have a.
permanent reclamation service, fostered
and maintained by our national Govern
AS an example OF great economy
partly to be effected by the utiliza-
ton OF power now wasted, +. H. c. Cop
pus of Worcester said that some OF the
largest Glass / railroads are considering
plans whereby they may save $315, 5,000.-
00C year in fuel costs and at the same
time increase the hauling power Of
their locomotives while reducing their
water bills He figured that 45 per
cent Of the s75O,000.0 900 which the roads
spent last year for coal could be saved
by improved combustion.
He estimated also that a saving OF
between so and rs per cent. in water
consumption could be made by condens-
ing the steam and using 1t over and over.
To show how power could be added to a
locomotive by having mechanically in
duced draft at the front end he cited eX-
periments made on the Santa Fe sys-
ten. One locomotive gained Is per cent.
in horsepower. another 20. another 2S.
Elmer a. Sperry, perfecter of the
years work in n paper on Compound
ing the Combustion Engine" He said
the compound type would hereafter "oc-
cupy a dignified place in the combustion
engine art" The new engine, he said.
was in some cases less than one-tenth
the weight of the Diesel and In others
cne-twcntieth the weight for the same
output of power. He said the important
requirements have been worked out and
an engine embodyng virtually all the
advantag ges has been subjected to long
continuous runs.

VOTE TO REFUSE WAGE CUT
Building Trades Council In Chicago
Firm for $t.26 an Hour

Chicago. Jan. 21.-(Ry a. PIN
a prepared statement made public to-
day By the Chicago Building Trades
Council, reasons are get forth for the
refusal Of the thirty two unions anil
lated with the council to accept any re-
ductions in their present wage scales
within the next three years. 1t was de-
cidcd to insist on continuation OF the
present 81. .2J an hour wage for union
building workers.
President Thomas S. Kearney, of the
Building Trades Council, said that. prior
TO the war. $4,000 workmen in Chi
cago were members W unions affiliated
with the council. Nov the number has
been reduced to 80 600, and only 40 per
cent are employed. A large number
have entered other lines Of work more
remunerative.
1T is contended by some that in the
reimbursement labor should participate
by Offering it's services at lower wage
in order to bring about production
that labor should suffer with all lines
Of business. Labor has suffered. and
is suffering now. because wages have
not kept pace with the increased cost OF
! living
