U.C. T. URGE BETTER,
CLOSER COOPERATION

Closer cooperation in business
was advocated at a luncheon-meet-
ing held on Saturday night by VIII
mington Council. United CONNER
cial Travellers, at which members of
the wholesale section of the Cham

guests.
The affair was given in the rooms
of the council in Eythian Castle. H.
B. BATHS, grand councillor of the
Commercial Travellers for New Jer-
sey and Delaware, presided.
William ID. Mullen, national coun-

DeadLOcked
CFrom the New York Trlbune). i.

The operators and miners Of the
anthracite industry, in contrast with
their brethren in the bituminous
mines. have been comforting about
a settlement OF their differences
since before the strike began.
Yesterday they adjourned for a
week. still deadlocked after more
than two months OF discussion. The
miners fatty rejected the proposed
reduction OF 21 per cent. in wages
offered by the operators and instead
demanded a 20 per cent. increase.
on other suggested points as well
both sides still are at odds.
The anthracite industry has long
been more closely organized than
the bituminous. IT is practically
unionized, and the con-
troll Of the properties is in the hands
of a small group of operators. The
output is limited and the demand
stable. The industry has not suffer-
ed from the evils of overproduction
and OF competition between union
and non-union mines which have
beset the bituminous industry. And
vet this well organized" industry

has made no advances toward a
strike settlement.
How much longer, then, will It
take the bituminous operators and
miners to come to an agreement,
both sides lacking the concerted ac-
ton that exists among the anthra-
cite people? II they should COM
mence comforting tomorrow and
proceeded no more rapidly than the
anthracite conferees they would find
themselves in the first week in Aug
ust no nearer a settlement than they
are today.
The slow progress OF the anthra-
cite conference thus holds out little
hope OF a settlement Of the strike
without outside interference. It also
shows that even when both sides
meet It is a long time before an
agreement is finally reached.
The Administration has shown a
mild interest in the prevention of
profiteering. But until It shows
keen interest in the termination of
the strike matters will simply go
from bad to worse. The Admin
stration is already two months be-
hindhand.

HE Will NEVER
BE WITHOUT IT
Popular Salesman Says He
Is Brimful of New Life
and Energy Since Taking
Tanlac

John f. Aud, Of 1905 Clifton
avenue, Baltimore, well-known
and popular city salesman, is still
another who has found Tanlac a
safe and sure road back to health,
strength and working efficiency.
While discussing Tanlac, which has
been of such great benefit to him,
Mr.. Aud said:
IT have taken six bottles OF Tan
lac and It has made a new man OF
me. AS a medicine 1t Is priceless,
and from now on never expect to
be without It in my home. Before
taking it was completely run
down, my nerves were all undone
and my appetite had just about de-
serted me. / could never get a good
nights sleep and that tired, slug
gish feeling was on me all the time.
l had no relish for food of any kind
and what little ! did eat seemed to
do me no good. was losing energy
and strength and found my work
getting more difficult every day.
What 1 needed was just an all
round building up, and Tanlac has
done that very thing. 1t has put
me back on the eating list with an
appetite to be proud Of. My nerves
are normal again. so that my sleep
is sound and restful, and 1 get up
mornings feeling fine. also take
the Vegetable Pills along with Tan
lac, and I consider It the best COM
bination in the world for people who
are not feeling right. II has taken
away all that tired feeling, renewed
my energy and put me back to
where life and work is a pleasure.
My wife is now taking IL, and 1 don't
hesitate to recommend IL 10 any one
after what II has done for me-"
There are thousands of people in
Just the same condition as described
by Mr.. Aud. They are not sick,
exactly, but feel nervous. tired and
good for nothing most Of the time.
What they need is something TO
build them up, and throw off the
symptoms of this weakened, debili-
lated condition.
The system, besides being purified
by Tanlac, is toned up and invig-
orated as the medicine, aside from |
the blood, reipvigorates the |

Cut in Railroad Rates Makes
Gut in Railroad Wage Inevitable
(From the New York Herald).

The otherwise sensible newspaper
that denounces making railroad
wage reductions measure against
railroad rate reductions. as the
World does. probably is merely ig-
norant OF all the determining facts
In the situation. Not knowing or
caring that the billions OF rate in
creases went into payrolls, such an
uninformed critic would not stop to
ask itself out of what moneys hum
dreds of millions of rate decreases
could come II not out OF the wages
that had absorbed all the rate in
creases
But II the United States Railroad
Labor Board does not know the de-
termining facts in this vital national
problem 1t is not fit to be on the job
and ought not to be in existence.
Yet the United States Railroad La
Dor Board seems to hold the as
founding attitude that there need be
and should be no relationship be-
tween a wage decision of the Inter
state Commerce Commissionl But
the two things are absolutely and in
separately interdependent. And If
the fact is ignored by traffic rate
maker or by wage scale maker, then
either the insupportable transporta-
tion bill of the American public can
not come down to the level II should
reach or the railroads OF the coun-
try both as business properties and
as efficient carriers. are bound to
pile up In colossal wreck.
The record of who got the billions
Of rates increases that were steam
shoveled out of the American peo-
pie Is as clear as daylight. In the
calendar year of 1917 the total op-
Grating revenues of the roads were
S4,0l4, l42,74s. The stupendous rate
increases which followed under gov
ernment operation and later ran /
those revenues up to s4,SS1, 900, 900
in 1918, to s5,146,00O,0 900 in 1919 |
and in 1920 to se.171 .4e3.801.
Here was an increase in S2,167.-
100000 for the American public to
pack on its bending back. But the
railroads did not get one nickel out
of that two billions and nearly two
OF millions OF dollars OF in
creased transportation bills. On the
contrary, the railroads got worse

The tax collector in 1920 got $685.

MEMORIAL DAY.

xv7IIMINGToNrs celebration OF Memorial Day to-
w morrow promises to an that in all hkeli-
hood will outdo previous celebrations OF the same
holiday in this community.
As the thin line Of Veterans the survivors OF 61
grows thinner the observance of their Decoration Day
naturally more solemn.
When we recall that it will be only a few years now
when Memorial Day celebrations necessarily must
change their character there will be actual
participants of the Civil conduct the services
we convinced that 1t is abundanty worth while to
make the of the intervening celebrations
In addition to the regular Memorial Day celebration
the dedication the Washington Street Bridge the
yelling of tablets bearing the names OF Delawareans
who made the supreme sacrifice in the World War and
veterans of 1875. 1861 and 1898 the historical pa
geants and stirring patriotic addresses will make up
program that should thrill every true American.
It is altogether fitting that this elaborate program
should be given on Memorial Day, because only the
valor Of the Boys in Blue made possible victorious
war with Spain and victory in the World War. AS 1t
should be tomorrows celebration will conducted in
spirit patriotic fervor and solemnty.
We wonder whether we of America really make
enough Of holidays particularly patriotic days
many holiday simply cessation of work,
day for an outing. But 1t should be and
Memorial Day will not be in Wilmington this year
Such a celebration merely educational force for
the younger generation and foregn-born citizens will

cal freedom. liberty and unity days Of formal in
struction could do. We remember best what we
see political evolution OF the country, de-
pcted by the many pageants enable thousands TO
visualize conflicts that before only dimy

That citizens will by thousands participate

equally assured. But more than that each citizen
profit the extent that he will gather in much
higher degree the significance OF Memorial Day i
resolve that these dead shall not have died
in vain"
As the splendid bridge links the banks OF the

DECLARESCARDS
WORST OF EVILS
DR.. Hubbard Says They Are
Like Dynamite in the
Home
FOR ALL LAW
ENFORCEMENT

you cannot have anything in
your home more dangerous than a
deck of cards." exclaimed the Rev
Carlisle l.. Hubbard, In a sermon
on gambling, delivered in st. Paul's
M. K. Church, yesterday morning.
You would better put stick Of
dynamite in the bureau drawer that
your children use than a deck of
cards." he continued, for Satan
uses this instrument oftener per-
haps than any other for the down
fall of humanity"
After quoting several definitions
Of gambling, DR.. Hubbard declared
that the principle is the same,
whether 1t is "a 81 doll baby or a bet
on the stock market. 1t is hoping
to get something for nothing. And
every time you win someone has
to lose" he added. Money won
by gambling is blood money and II
will burn a hole in your soul. 1t
will never do you any good. My
brother. II you have money in your
possession made by gambling. so
give II back to the man from whom
you won 1t; and If you don't know
the man go TO some home for aged,
or an orphanage, and give the same
amount 20 them and get II of your
conscience"
Speaking OF organizations that
raise money by selling chances,
DR.. Hubbard said: The surest
evidence of death beyond the hope
OF a resurrection Is an organization
which, in the name Of God, church or
religion, will gamble for dollars with
which to run the institution. They
are simply dead. spiritually; not
buried yet but dead. Any organiza-
ton that will gamble for proceeds |
to maintain itself belongs 10 he |
devil; he has a first mortgage on |
that institution.
Gambling means financial ruin; !
1t destroys industry; It destroys hon
esty. No man who can win easily |
at gambling will bother doing reg |
ular work. The most dishonest set |
OF men the world has ever known |
anything about have been the gam

on the public railroad labor $780,
10000 a year, the railroad payrolls
going up from s1.739, 4s2, 142 in 1917
to the staggering 1920 total Of s3,-
69s. s.216.351.
So the railroads to meet their
other expense increases-coal, ma
terials, supplies and miscellaneous
had to work It out as best they could,
all of them paying out OF what had
previously been returns on the in
vestment. many OF them out Of ac-
cumulated surplus and some OF them
out OF borrowed money.
In 1916, for example, with only a
little more than three and half bill
revenue the roads had earned as in
vestment return to pay interest and
dividends a billion of dollars. In
1917, with four billions OF dollars of
operating revenues, the investment
return was 1894, 100000. In 1920,
however, after the two billion dollar
rate increase piled on the back OF
the public. the railroads. as a whole,
with more than six billions OF dol
lars of operating revenues, had an
investment return of s61,92S,626.
The majority of the roads were
bankrupt. The greatest and strong
est. as we'll as the smallest and
weakest, were falling to pieces be-
cause after paying the s3,6eS,2l6,-
351 in wages, 100000 in coal
bills, s475, 100000 in interest and
$279, 900, 900 in taxes. not to men

age, $66, 900 in insurance and in
jurles 10 persons, etc, they did not
have chicken feed left to nay for
rolling stock repairs. rail renewals
and roadbed upkeep and better
ments.
One thing more to show whether
the American public can ever get
back to normal transportation bills |
unless the railroad payrolls are re-
adjusted to permit the lower traffic |
rates;
In the three fiscal years of 1912,
1918 and 1914 to July l before the
var the whole transportation bill of
he American people, that is to say,
he total operating revenues OF all
he railroads, averaged below s3,-
100, 100000 a year. But in 1920 the
ailroad payrolls and taxes alone
we're a billion dollars more than
979, 900, 900.
To talk, therefore, OF getting the
abroad rates back where they ought
o be for the American public with
ut corresponding wage adjustm ents
nothing but cheerful idiocy.
yhether it is the irresponsible chat
er OF a scrlbbler or the solemn ut
srance OF government officer. By
