WIPING OUT WASTE.

The railroad labor board is seeing
the light and by its decision of Nov.
80 has removed S5O,OOO,OOO from the
railroad overhead by revising So
called working agreements which
have been causing the railroads to
waste money under such iniquitOus
rules as the following:
Machinists were forbidden to touch
anything but repairs. They could
not disconnect wiring. This had to
be done by electricians. They could
not touch pipe connections because
this was the work of sheet metal
workers only.
Unskilled laborers could not dis
mantle freight cars. This was the
work Of car men. No employe could
touch an engine except a boiler,
maker.
Such rules and regulations have
robbed the American people of mil
lions of dollars as the result of war
time wages and working agreements
1t is stated that $5O,OOO,OOO a yea
will be save dto the railroads by thi
latest ruling under which four me-
can do the work which before re
quired the services Of ten.

AFTEER DRAFT DESERTERS.

1t is the intention of the war de-
partment to proceed vigorously with
the prosecution of deserters from the
draft. The adjutant general of the
army is asking congress for an ap-
preparation of $25O,OOO from which
to pay rewards of $50 each for draft
deserters delivered to the military
authorities. 1t is declared that the
recent publication of the deserter
lists was of practical value in elm
mating the names of non-wilful de-
serters, but less than one-half of 1
per cent of the total names printed
have been removed from the lists
from that cause. "It is imperative, -
says the adjutant general, "that the
government exhibit the greatest PO5-
sible energy in pursuing these men
and in furnishing all that are found
guilty. If the government permits
these deserters to escape punishment
provided for their offense, conse-
quences of the gravest import will
certainly ensue."

FOOLISH TO DELAY.

In commenting on the building sit
uation and necessity for the public
TO realize changed conditions, w. Z.
Greed, president of the Pacific Gas
& Electric Company, in giving his
opinion on the subject, said:
81 think that it is very essential
that the public should know that they
are not buying on a falling market.
There is a shortage of buildings of
all kinds, from the dwelling to the
office building. The investor must
be satisfied that he is not buying or
falling market before he will con-
slider building.
"Another condition that is essen.
tial is to convince the prospective
builder that the labor market is sta
bic and that no sudden changes ar'
going to take place in it while hi
building is in process of construc
tion."
The lumber market is rising an,
the labor market is pretty well S..
bilized. There is no reason for de
laying necessary building.

Bankers who keep in close touch

more than $7,OOO,OOO are sent out of
the state annually for purchase of
merchandise from mail order houses
and that of this amount no part is
ever returned, directly or indirectly.
If spent with Montana merchants,
they figure that TO less than $780,
600 would have remained at home and
would have been available for use in
farming, commerce and industry, for
that is approximately the part of the

BRITISH TExTILE ExPORTs.

British exports of cotton piece
goods for October, 1921, totaled over
342,O0O,OOO square yards, valued at
nearly s12, 100000. Our own exports
totaled 64,5OO,OOO square yards, val
ued at $685., 900. For the ten months
period ended October 81, Great Brit
ain exported 2,2O9 100000 square
yards of cotton cloths, a decrease Of
nearly 40 per cent compared with
the same period for 1920, due chief
ly to the coal strike and related labor
troubles the early portion Of the cur
rent year. We exported 458,000,O0O
square yards for the 1921, and 49,
100000 square yards for the 1920
period These figures afford some
idea of the export trade in cotton
goods enjoyed by the two countries.
