RAILROAD WORKERS
And OWNERS MEET

Whether it is Herbert Hoover's
idea or the idea of somebody else, it
is an excellent plan to get the rail
way managers and the railway work
ers into conference over wages and
working conditions to see what agree
ments can be reached without going
to the United States railroad labor
board. They should resort to this
last refuge only if and after relations
have become strained to the braking
point.
There is no more sensible body of
men in the country than railway
workers when they are not willfully
misled by their own leaders or wan
tonly inflamed by incendiary politi-
clans. They know, and they know it
of their own experience, that traffic
rates are to ohigh for farm products,
lumber, coal and other commodities to
flow freely to market. They know
by the same test that traffic rates
must come down in the interest of
a general business revival and in the
interest of providing and maintaining
employment for the railway workers
themselves, whose jobs under present
conditions daily become fewer and
less secure. They know the only
NOV ,o4ae con oop,- Io.r-, -, ,ox
worth while measure is through a
general readjustment of the operat-
ing expenses Of the carriers. They
know the great bulk of operating ex-
penses is in the hands Of the workers
Railroad managers and railroad
workers always have ~comprehendeC
their common problems better wher
they went over them together in heart
to heart talks than when somebody
else went over those problems fol
them. There is a natural understand
ing and sympathy among the mana
gers and workers. They have grown
up together, working side by side
many of them, and they speak TIT
same language.
The managers and the worker
alike, knowing that traffic is the lif
blood of the carriers, are most like

selves for rate, wage and other read
justments to produce the traffic thai

Emergency TARIFF
And CANADA WHEAT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31-Montreal
export figures of Canadian wheat to
the United States during the last four
months of 1921 shows the effect of
the emergency tariff bill in protect
ing the American farmer.
Canadian exports of wheat to the
United States during the month of
December, 1921, were 1866, 900 BUSH
els, valued at $3,629, 900, compared
with 12,234,000 bushels, valued at
$24,797,00O for December, 1920, ac-
cording to a report recently received
from Montreal. During a period Of
four months ended December last,
Canada exported to the United States
9,3607,0 0O bushels of wheat, worth
$~10,550,000, compared with 30,648,-
900 bushels, valued at SIS, Ats 900 for
the corresponding period of 1920.
The emergency tariff law, which be-
came effective May 81, 1921, was re-
sponsible for this decrease.
Canadian exports of wheat flour
to the United States also showed 3
marked decrease. In December Of
last year they totaled $4,000 barrels
valued at $472,00O, compared with
$4,000 barrels, valued at 81, 1886 900
in December of 1920, and for the -four
months period they totaled 230,65t
barrels, valued at $1,451, 900 in 1921
compared with 532 1866 barrels, valued
at S5,858. 900 for the corresponding
period of 1920.

law was passed that it had done moth
ing to help the agricultural industrie,
of this country. The report from
Montreal states:
the United States during the montl
of December decreased rs per cen
in volume as compared with the whea
exports for December of the previou
year, indicating the marked effect O
the United States emergency tariff.
That is one answer to the Demo
Gratis who opposed the measure, an
many others will be found if the sta
tistics of imports of agricultural pro
ducts for the period of June-Decem
Der, 1921, r compared with thos
of the corresponding period of 1925
1t will be noted that the averag
price per bushel of Canadian whea
exported to the United States in d.
cember, 1920, was something unde
$2-03, while for December, 1921,
was about S1.08. This indicates thu
the fall in wheat prices is gener;
throughout the world, and not COZ
fined to the United States, nor du
to Republican policies, as the Dem,
Gratis would have US believe. OF
own average export price on whe;
in December, 1926, was $2.37, and
December, 1921, it was $1.21.

JOIN A PARITY BE SOMETHING!

At a recent meeting of the postal
employees, President Harding declared
that he would rather have a hard
boiled Democrat than d yellow Repub-
lican, and he wouldn't give a rap for
a postmaster who did not take enough
interest in his government to be af-
filiated with a party. This probably
meets the approval OF everybody ex-

Replying to the charge brought
by the farmers that the Wilson ad-
ministration started the deflation
movement and aimed it at agriculture
first, the Democrats deny that they
inaugurated the deflation program,
and further defend themselves by as
sorting that their only fault is that
they did not start it sooner. We won

RAILROAD TAX OFF.

Every man who buys a railroad
ticket these days feels grateful that
he IS not called upon to pay a fed
eral tax Of 8 per cent. Those who
pay freight bills will note a reduc-
ton of 3 per cent due to the removal
of the government tax. Yet the
Democrats will tell you that the Re-
.publicsns have not lifted the tax
burden.

FOREIGN Carrying
TRADE SLIPS AWAY

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-Thas our
foreign carrying trade is slipping
away from US slowly but surely is in
Dictated by the official figures, and
that it will continue to do so until we
are back TO pre-war conditions of de-
pendence on foreign carriers is con-
fidently predicted unless some aid is
~vouchsafed u merchant marine in
the neal future. American operating |
expenses make competition with Brit
ish operating expenses Improbable,
and American seamen will not accept
British wage standards. American
efficiency in operation can hardly be
expected to excel that of a nation
which has dominated the seas for
centuries.
During the ten months ended Octo-
Der 81, 1921, there entered and cleared
British ports 59,OOO,O 900 tons of ship
ping, of which 100000 was of
British register. Practically the same
figures prevailed for the similar per-
:od of 1920. The tonnage of Ameri-
can ships entering and clearing Brit
ish ports for the 1920 period was
about 100000, and for the 1921 per-
iod about the same. 1t will be noted
that over sc per cent of this tonnage
was domestic-British tonnage.
49, -
we find in the United States for the
II months ended November: In 1920
over 120,OO0,O0O net tons entered and
just so per cent were American and so
per cent were foreign. Of this for
eign tonnage 1860, 900 tons were
registered in Great Britain proper,
and 10, ZOO, 900 were registered from
British d~ominions, or over SO per cent
Of the foreign tonnage flew the Union
Jack.
During the IL months of 1921 over
115,000,000 net tons of shipping en-
tered and cleared American ports, 3d.
100000 of which were foreign, and
56,000,000 American. The tonnage
under the British flag totaled a little
over 100000 tons, or about the
same percentage as for the 1928
period.
When the value of cargoes is con-
sidered, it will be found that during
the 1920 period, of the $4,507, 600, 00C
worth of watterborne imports the
American vessels carried AZ per cent
; and foreign vessels So per cent; while
for the 1921 period American vessel.
carried SO per cent and foreign yes

We Americans do not like to wait for anything, for a street
car, for our change, or even for the Millennium. We are In
a hurry, waiting is tiresome, impatient business. and there
is no more irksome. wait than for something you have bought
and want TO use. You want IT, you fret and fume, if it is not
there when you first ask for it Next day you storm louder.
Then you get busy and write a letter or sack zap" the ex-
press company. IT is mighty provoking. but you do not get
much satisfaction, and sometimes you keep on waiting some
time. Buying at home means no irksOme delays in ship
ment-your package is delivered the same day. and. if it is
not, you can very soon get to the root of the trouble and
remedy it. Buying at home means saving of time and the
saving Of temper, and time and temper are worth conserving.
