free movement of cars Is prevented;
no company can be certain of COM
handing even it's own equipment
when 1t is needed; seasonal conges-
lions or shortages of cars follow and
an unfair burden is imposed on those
roads which sincerely try to meet the
demands of this demoralized .situa-
ton.
Proposed Freight Car Pool.
To meet this condition, the proposal
OF nationwide car pool has lately
attracted much attention. The Pull
man COMPANY fairly illustrates what
Is meant. This great corporation
provides: most of the railroads with
certain kinds of cars, on a rental
pasis. Applying the same idea to
,he provisions of freight cars, you
nave rough notion of the proposed
car pool 1t is urged by advocates
that IT would unity the rolling stock
orsanlzation; make possible the en-
lstment of adequate capital to pro
anke; place the entire Organization
under a single centralized control
which would insure equity to ali
p4sas and sections. There are
others who insist 1T would not cor
rect the present evils. and would
divide responsibility and make regu-
Iation and supervision more dificult.
IN any event the system of consolida-

diinculties in car distribution
We come now to an entirely Diff
ferent phase of this TRANSPORTATION
question. Quite regardless of its
cost, the continuity. the assurance Of
service at all times is absolutely
necessary In transportation. Busi-
ness that is done today depends on
the certainty that the goods can be
delivered tomorrow. If there ia
doubt about the trains running and
the deliveries being made tomorrow
there will be unwillingness to buy
and sell today. All of which brings
us to consideration of the relations
between the transportation organiza-
ton and its employees.
Suspension Is Fatal.
There Is no other business. so far
az l know. in which suspension of
operations can produce such dis
astrous results as in transportation.
The vital Importance of this service
has brought many people to the con-
clusfon that 1t ought to be possible
absolutely to forbid and prevent rail-
road employees from striking. 1 do
not believe 1T possible under our
form of government to compel men
to work against their will, and do
not think 1t desirable under any
form of government. I say this, fully
recollecting my vote in the Senate in
favor OF the antistrike provision of

not to be considered. l believe it

Little Doubt of Preference.
As among these possibilities there
can be little doubt of the public
preference for the third program. 1t
Is not unjust to the strong roads, for
the prosperity Of these, like the
prosperity of all industry depends
on keeping the country as whole
trackage In the land helps to make
business for every other mile. The
transportation system must be con-
sldered as a unity, precisely as the
natlon ltselr must be- considered. In
this manner we will best help to in

slst them to new capital for future
expansion and insure for the future
against the sort of wildcat and COM
petitive- railroad construction which
IN the past has been responsible for
giving ds great. share Of the track
age which now proves: economically
unjustified.
There is another. particular reason
which urges the early adoption of the
larger system plan. 1t would be a
long step toward solving the prob
lem of keeping the railroad equip
ment adequate. Many financially

DISCUSS FORMATION
OF DIOCESAN CLUB
Episcopal Clergymen Consider
Proposal and Appoint Commit
tee to Prepare Report.

Feasibility of establishing a do
cesar club in Washington was dis
cussed at a meeting of clergymen of
the Episcopal Diocese of Washington,
in the Kemper Bocock Memorial
building, 1915 Jefferson street north
west, last night. A committee was
appointed to investigate and repors
on the proposal.
Bishop elect James E. Freeman
presided at the meeting. DR.. Freeman
urged a closer relationship between
the city and country clergy, as well
as among the local clerymen them
selves.
Rev. Francis Metcalf of Mechanics,
willie, Nd, told of the need of social
club where the clergy might become
better acquainted.
Rev.sC. w. Whitmore approved of a
plan for. the raising of a sufficient sum
Of money for the running of boys
club, stating that the average clergy
man would find more pleasure in visit
ing boys club as means Of passing
away the time than he would attending
a clerymen's club.
The Kemper Bocock Memorial build
ing was discussed as probable home
either for the boys club or the pro-
posed diocesan club. The structure, 1t
was pointed out, was built fourteen
years ago by Mrs. Margaret Dupont
Lee to serve as boys club: The
donor recently authorized the Rev. H.
L. Durrant Of the Grace Episcopal
Church of Georgetown to dispose Of
the property and use the funds for the
benefit Of the church.
Bishop-elect Freeman appointed
the following committee to report on
the matter next September:
George r. Wales, a member of the
federal Civil Service Commission
chairman; the Rev. John S. Moses of
st. Johns Church, Georgetown; the
Rev. D. r. CovelI Of the Episcopal
City Mission. the Rev. D. w. Curran
of the diocesan Office. the Rev. F. s.

told the farmers of the country that
they must frankly take note "of the
wage development which will yield
no reduction in the principal item of
operating cost of Americas railroads

auctions in other fixed charges may
be obtained" He suggests economies
in terminal costs and rentals as one
factor and general reduction in over
head as another.

into account the sentiment of the
agricultural region in which he is
travelinga~ Here the revolt of last
year has not subsidized. The farmer

stitutes the biggest problem of his
political future, especially since he
now has removed the world court

sTlRTunG FIGURES
ABOUT P0sTOFF|cE

An interesting description Of Uncle
Sans great postoffice business, the
"largest business in the world operated
under one head, occupied the atten-
tion Of Rotary luncheoners Monday,
Postmaster p. C. Boyles being In
vited as a guest to give the principal
address.
Mr.. Boyles' talk was replete with
interesting figures regarding the size
and importance of this business Of
the people conducted by the United
States government. There are 15, 900
clerks and employees Of the single
postoffice Of New York City, and
1884, 900 in the entire service. There
are $1,000 postoffices, and $4,000 rail-
road clerks. Great manufacturing
establishments are being operated to
print the stamps, and make other ar
ticles needed by the department.
Thirty million letters are handled
every day. Last year two billion
parcel post packages were delivered
in department of the post office only
started few years since, while ex-
press companies which used to mono.
police the business in the same time
only handled 400, 900 packages.
While the tremendous expansion Of
the P. o. business led to . deficit Of
$67, ,000, 900 in 1922, this has been de-
creased to $31, 900 900 in the current
year, and the budget for 1924 indicates
that it will be totally wiped out in
the year to come.
The transcontinental air routes are
late developments, mail being de-
livered from New York to San Fran
cisco in 26 hours. The C. O. d. de-
partment is growing tremendously,
ten years ago there being three mil
lion packages delivered in q year,
while during 1922 this had grown to
thirty-one million, with fees Of three
and quarter million dollars collected.
There are two hundred million
letters and packages sent to the dead
letter office each year, or two to the
head in America, waste which can
be eliminated in large part by more
care in mailing.
Mr.. Boyles then launched into some
activities and needs Of the local post
office, stating that business here had
practically doubled over four years
ago. We can secure carrier service
with free city delivery here If we go
after it, something very much worth
while as q business improvement for
Gunnison.
As other guests at the luncheon,
Walter U. Mergelman, Herbert Warfel
and Mary Frances and Rial Ralph
Lake were present. Mr.. Warfel made
. strong presentation Of the Band
Jamboree entertainment to come OF
tomorrow night At the college. The
Lake duo played very nicely on the
violin and flute for entertainment Of
tie members and other guests.

under his leadership another scrappy

Dowd suffered the fracture Of the
jaw bone three evenings before the

discontinue football. When in the
game, it was Capt Dowd that was
constantly urging his men to fight
hard all the time. His defensive
work has been q feature Of this sea-

Besse is q local boy and has been

fearless and popular player. His

pended upon for good yardage on
every occasion. George did the pass
ing and kicking this season in a
creditable manner. At the same time,
the strongest asset Of Besse's playing
is his defensive work. His ability to
intercept passes and block punts Is
worthy Of faborable comment. In

George blocked two punts and scored
