WINTER. BUSINESS

Is business going to slow down this winterf Many are
wondering. After hard times, prosperity seems too good to be
true. f
All Of the basic signs point to a continuation of the steady
industrial revival now under way. Most encouraging OF these
signs is the big freight traffic being handled by the railroads.
In the two weeks ended Sept. % --latest figures availablc)
the number of cars loaded with revenue producing freight on
all railroads compared with the corresponding period OF pre-
vious years as follows:
1922 -. .... 80. 1,919y21O cars
1921 I1aIso cars
1920 .l,999yZfo cars
1919 .l,59U,o52 cars
You'll observe that 191 cars of freight are moving, for
each 1879 cars in 1919 during the big boom.
Business doesn't haul a lot Of freight around the coun--
try unless it expects to use 1t, work 1t up INTO manufactured
products. That means jobs. The stage is being set to keep
every one busy. M go.
had thing for business, but it is also a good thing, for 1t shows
that there is more business than can be handled.
In one recent week the railroads were asked to furnish 81
MANY freight cars on sidings that they ran short ooU0u FEWER
than what the shippers needed.
In the same week there was a shortage OF 26,UoO coal cars,
At other points there was a surplus Of 1854 coal cars, but
these couldn't be rushed to where they were needed as last
as they were needed.
All Of this feverish activity on the railroads looks mighty
comforting to any one who remembers, during oepressioh'
how cars stood on sidetracks, accommodating rust.
The old business machine is moving at last and getrng
into b;ob sneed. Sometimes the unexpected happens, so there
MIGHT be a setback, but nothing in sight makes that seem
probable. 1o,. +bo
If traffic statistics seem dry, here's something along tne
som line that will pentrate easily to any brain:

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-Three
O'Clock in the morning may suggest
the end of a festive evening to some
people, but it is simply lunch time
to 200 workers in the government
printing office. At that dim hour,
when most of us would prefer
dreaming about pie to eating it.
the women who get the Congress
slonal Record ready for the early
morning mail stop folding and ad-
dressing operations to eat lunch.
A year ago lunch meant a dry or
soggy sandwich out of a 0 poe
ket. eaten in the workroom. Or
else it meant a trip along a dark
street to an open-all-night restau-
rant. Lunch at 3 a. m. was a gloomy
diversion at best in those days.
But now the big government
printing office has gone IN for hui
manned efficiency. The G.. o. p.
Cafeteria and Recreation Associa-
ton is functioning. When the 3 a.
M. lunch bell rings the Congress
SIGNAL Record workers hurry INFO
the elevators that will carry them
to the new cafeteria on the top floor
of the building. After eating a hot
meal served at cost price. they
spend the remainder of their free
time lounging in a rest room, or
n the big assembly hall playing a
photograph and perhaps dancing
Cafeterias and recreation rooms
in offices and plants are fairly com
mon nowadays. But the govern
ment printing office claims some
unusual features along these lines,
This government bureau is the fist
ia OrganiZa eating and reereatioua1
activities on a strictly cooperative
ard self-sustaining basis, with en-
ployes forming the board of direc-
tors and the various committees. 1t
is also the only government bureau
to run a cafeteria serving meals on
a twenty-four hour a day schedule.
Until a year ago the biggest print
ing plant in the world made no
special effort to provide extras
for it's employees. 1t gave 1900 peo-
pie jobs, and provided them with
up-to-date equipment, scientific
lighting. and a hospital, in case OF
accident. If they wanted to play OF
to buy a cooked lunch they went
outside the building.
Then George H. Carter, public
printer of the United States, became
particularly interested in the lunch
problem. Cafes in the neighbor-
hood of the printing office were hish
priced and dingy. Some 1000 peo-
PIE. Mr.. Carter reflected. were eat
ing around him every day in the
most impromptu fashion. He doubt
ed if stale sandwiches and tep.d
milk could be very efficient and
cheering stimulants for the after
lunch work period.

What Other Papers
Say
The Elizabethport Station

The Elizabethport Station
A bill of indictment of ~considera-
BILE length and containing several
just accusations could be written
against the Elizabethport station of
the Central Railroad of New Jersey,
1t should not be necessary to for
mally support these accusations to
obtain a plea of guilty from the
management of the railroad. Any
interested official of the railroad
knows they are all true and that
n city has just reason for resent
ing the fragrant conditions that
make the station unsightly, unsafe
and an object of public cundemna-
ton.
The station is unsightly made
quate and badly kept. The sanitary
arrangements are repulsive. 1t is
unfair to the city Of Elizabeth that
it is SO badly advertised by such a
building. And the building that is
called the El'Zabethport station is
also a bad advertisement for a great
railroad and its management.
The building stands inside a trl-
angle of extremely dangerous grade
railroad tracks and crossings. 1t is
fnconvenient for the public to get to
it. Getting to it from any direction

demned by the members of City
Council Thursday night and resolu-
tons were adopted calling on the
City Attorney and the Board of
Health to take action against the
railroad to have the whole obnox-
ious situation improved.
1t is likely that the Central Rail-
road officials have been negligent
because of future plans they intend
to make when the new bridge across
the bay is constructed. Then. it is
epected the grade crossings will be
eliminated and the whole program

TIE ROAD

John w. Herbert seems to have the last word and best
word in the South Amboy road controversy raised by the
Edwards Highway Commission. If what he says in his state
ment issued yesterday is true, and he seems to have records
to prove his assertions, the ousted head Of the Edge highway
commission clearly shows that his board took the best way
out of a bad situation at South Amboy, eliminated the hole
in-the-wall from route No. 4 and constructed an excellent
concrete highway at a considerable saving to the taxpayers.
He also shows that if the Edwards commission had carried
out the action of the former highway commission and paid
the Pennsylvania railroad for the property on which the road
is now located, the state would have saved a large sum of
money which must now be expended if the Edwards COM
mission is firm in their plan to have the land condemned.
e If we are not mistaken, the present road board has
Boosted of the good condition of the highway from the state
bridge to South Amboy. 1t has been announced time after
Hme that the hole in the-wall is a thing of the past and that
route No. &, leading to the shore resorts is in excellent shape
As far as this section is concerned. 1t is also generally known
that motorists have praised greatly the move made to elimi-
nate the notorious hole-in-the- wall. After many years of
deplorable conditions at that point one of the worst road
hazards in the state was abolished, but not in a way that
pleases the present highway commission, it seems; for after
fvo years of silence in the whole affair it is suddenly found
chat the Edge commission erred in dealing with the railroad
company. Why it should have taken two years to find out the

from concrete to patent paving materials.

THE REFEREE

Baseball
Since 1910 nearly two and a quar-
ter million baseball fans have paid
five and q half million dollars to see
world series games.
A reader writes, suggesting that
this is an awful waste of money.
Think of the starving people that
could be fed by five and a half mil
lion dollars"
Money raid for baseball tickets
and other forms of theatricals is not
wasted. 1t merely changes hands
and goes on circulating the same as
before. Actual economic loss is
small. Spending. not harding, is

Dispute

end of the war has paid only $4O0,-
900, 900 cash indemnity or $1.6l a
year for each German.
Lang, German consul in New
York city, disputes. He claims that
the figure should be $522,000,000 in
stead of 100000, 900. That would
make the cash indemnity payments
$2.1O a year instead of $1.61 for
each German. We stand corrected.
Incidentally Lang claims that
Germany has paid about S9,823,000-
900 total indemnity to date. includ-
ing value of lost territory and other
property surrendered.
