SEVEN THOUSAND
YEARS OF SERVICE

Three local chapters, of the Tele-
phone Pioneers of America have been
recently formed In PENNSYLVANIA. Del
aware and New Jersey, one at Phila-
delphia, another at Harrisburg, and
the third at Pittsburgh. The total
membership runs well over $50, repre-
senting over 1000 years of service.
The Telephone Pioneers is a nation
wide organization comprised of men
and women who have been connected
with the telephone business for twenty
one years or more 1t was organized
eleven years ago and the late Theodore
n. Vail was it's first President. Since
that time National Conventions have
been held every fall in different parts
Of the country, except for that period
when the Worlds War was heing
neers attended these conventions they
were usually held at points too far
distant for complete representation.
With the organization of the three
State chapters, the order of things
has changed and everybody in Penn
sylvania who is eligible to membership
In the Pioneers will be able to "join
up" If he or she so desires, and have
the opportunity of seeing old Pioneer
friends throughout the State at least
once in every year. for there will be
state conventions held now as well as
national conventions.
Recently the Harrisburg chapter
held their first convention at Gettys-
burg, which was one of the first con.
ventions of local chapter to be held
anywhere,

USE OF WOOD RELIEVES
COAL SHORTAGE

From reports being received by the
Forestry Division of the State De
partment of Conservation and Devel-
opment, the existing coal shortage is
showing one redeeming feature IN
that it has stimulated interest in the
use of wood as fuel on the part of
both consumers and producers. A
survey of conditions turnout the State
shows that in many sections eonsum-
ers have saved considerable amounts
on their fuel bills by using wood in
place of the rare and costly anthra-
cite.
Speaking of this increased use Of
wood for fuel, State Forester c. p.
WILDER warns the owners of woodland
against the unwise cutting of imma-
ture timber or the removal of all trees
where part of the stand should be
left. Such methods, he says are UNI
necessary and unwise for the owner
and unfortunate for the State. On
the other hand, many woodland own
ers have been enabled to meet this
demand for ccrdwood at profit to
themselves and, by praeticing forestry
have used timber which would not
have been more valuable for other
purposes In many instances the
woodland has actually been improved
by the removal of dead or inferior
and crowdmg trees, thus giving the
more valuable species an opportunity
for more rapid growth.
Tests have shown that cord of
heavy wood, such as oak, hickory,
beech, birch or sugar maple, has the
same heating value as ton of coal
while a cord of lighter woods, such
as chestnut or pine, is the equivalent
of two-thirds of ton of coal. Thus
since the average price of wood is
So per cord, coal must sell for from
IS to $l2 per ton delivered to be as
cheap
1t is estimated by the Department
that if all of New jerseys two million
acres of woodland were handled in
accordance with approved forestry
methods, at least 100000 cords of
wood could be cut, equal in heating
value to at least 100000 tons of an
thracite coal The remaining timber
would then grow from 5 to 10 times
as fast.

SHOW, Beautiful Snow"
Cost Telephone System
S7,5OO,OOO Last Winter

During the past year not a single
Bell Company in the United States
escaped serious damage from storms.
More than S7,500,o00 was spent in re.
pairing the broken down wires and
poles.
Two million of this were spent in
Wisconsin and Michigan alone due to
February storms. Last November's
storm In New England cost S1,5o0, 900.
In the northwestern states nearly a
million dollars was required for re-
pairs and on the Pacific Coast more
than half a million.
The following major items were re-
quired In the November AID February
storms alone and over half of them
were shipped within three days of be
ing ordered:
10000 poles.
10000 Y arms.
50,oo0,000 feet of cooper wire.
10000 glass insulators.
The heavy losses were provided for

A Correction

To the Editor of the Lville Record
Dear Sir
In this weeks issue of the Beacon
news item says that the Fleet Wing
and Hibernia Fire Company respond
ed to the fire at Washington Crossing,
Wednesday morning, Jan. 18th at 2.20
A. NJ. And the Hibernia Co. check
ed the fire. The person or persons
that gave this news to the Beacon are
certainly wrong. In the first place
the store was consumed when the
Fleet Wing arrived and the large
barn had just taken fire. The Fleet
Wing at once got busy and placed
men on the roofs Of several houses
South of the barn and other men
with extinguishers to take care of
falling embers. When the Hibernia
Co. arrived, there was nothing left
Of the barn, and there was no more
danger of the fire spreading when the
Hibernia Co. arrived. The Fleet Wing
had already taken care of that danger
And'-whilc the Hibernia Co. did good
work, other fire Cos. should have
credit for responding, but when it
comes to giving credit to whom credit
is due, you must certainly give credit
to the Fleet Wing Co., because they
saved the lower end eff Washington
Crossing. We cannot let biased
News papers report things that are
not true. The Fleet Wing Co. ar
rived at the fire house and had their
engine in service exactly 20 minutes.
The Hibernia Co. arrived "a minutes
later and certainly did get in service
with all the pep that any Co. could
debut the danger of the fire spread
ing was over.

LABOR BUREAU STUDY DEMON
STRATES SUCCESS OF LABOR'S
LONG WAR ON WAGE CUTS

New York, Oct. 20.-0rganized Ia
boris resistance to the savage wage re-
duction drive of 1921 was Strikingly
successful.
Organized labor was fully justified
in fighting attempts to lower the work
ers earnings.
These are the outstanding conclus-
ions reached by the Labor Bureau, lnc,,
as a result of study of wages, prices
and profits in 1921 and 1922.
The study developed statistical proof
of the success of the American trade
union movement in opposing the wage
slashing campaign of the employers.
Statistical confirmation was also given
of the fact that labor had absolute
Justification in resisting the attempts TO
cut wages and lower the American
standard of living.
The findings of the Labor Bureau
are summarized as follows:
"The average weekly earnings of fac
tory workers in New York state, and
published by the State Department of
Labor, which are fairly representative
of wages in general, reached their top
point in 1920. The drop in 1921 and
1922 was not much more than ten per
cent-actually less than the amount
of unemployment During the first
seven months of 1923, with the return
of full employment weekly earnings
have returned to within 5 per cent of
the 1920 figure.
Meanwhile the cost of living had
gone down between Is and 20 per cent.
The result is that the real wages, or
purchasing power, of factory workers
is now II per cent higher than in 1919
and nearly 20 per cent higher than in
1920.
"If organized labor had permitted
wages to be reduced as much as the
cost of living this result could not have
been achieved. A definite Improvement
in the standard of living of the great
laboring population would have been
made impossible, had the unions list
ened to the pleas of the employers and
their economists.
at is thus demonstrably untrue that
increases in wages necessitate equal
increase in the cost of living, or that
the cost of living cannot be reduced
