WOODPEGTzEP'S AND
LIGHTNING BUN MANY
TELEPHONE POLES

A news item from Olympia, Wash,
states that 90 coo cedar telephone
poles in that state are being replaced
and that two out of every ten have
been rendered unfit for service by two
causes, woodpeckers and lightning.
The white-headed woodpecAer has an
avidity for boring the poles full Of
holes. As cedar is not attacked by
insects, naturalists advance the theory
that the woodpecker digs the holes as
storage places for nuts, berries and
other food.
In the foothills Of the mountain
ranges lightning plays havoc with the
telephone poles.

BEWARE OF WET UMBRELLA.

A wet umbrella carelessly placed
where it rests against the cords of
your telephone is apt to put your tele-
phone out Of business. All covered
wires that carry the voice currents
must be kept perfectly dry and care
must be taken that no dampness shall
reach them, else the service may be
interrupted while search Is made for
the cause of trouble and the necessary
repairs are made.

Adopt Methods Used BY
Americans.
The telephone service in the United
States lis recognized as the most eff
cient service in the world" declared
the Hon. J. G. Coates, Postmaster
General Of the Dominion of New Yea
land, in a discussion of certain pre-
posed changes in the regulations and
charges Of the New Zealand telephone
system, which is operated as a part
of the Post Office Department of the
Dominion Government
Mr.. Coates voiced high hopes for
the future of the telephone service
under his direction, and even ex.
pressed the opinion that within a
reasonable time New Zealand sub
scribers can expect an exchange serv>
ice equal to that in the
United States of America"
1T has been the desire Of my prin-
cipal departmental officers for some
considerable time" the Postmaster
General declared, "to provide an eff
cient and popular telephone service
to equitably meet all conditions" He
added that he expected the amended
regulations and charges would mate
rally assist in that direction.
According to the latest statistics On
the subject, however, New Zealand has
fewer than eight telephones for each
100 OF population, as against thirteen
telephones per 100 people in the
United States. In fact the entire Do
minion of New Zealand has fewer tele-
phones than the City Of Minneapolis
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1924-01-31

If there We're as many telephones in
Europe in proportion to population as
there are in the United States, Europe
would have over G2.022 $50 telephones
Europe actually had, however, on the
latest date for which figures have
been published, oaly 5,GO6,252 tele
phones, or less than one-eleventh the
number that there would be if the Eu-
ropean telephone system were as well
developed as those of the United
States.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1924-01-31

The popularity Of the telephone in
this country is shown by the fact that
in 1922, 1920, 100000 calls were made,
an average of 55,OOO,OOO calls per
working day.

state convention.
IN addition Judge ]. R. Mitchell,
supreme court, was Endorsed By or
ganized labor when he was elected
six years ago. Delegates appear to
be divided on the question Of in
dorsing him for reelection.
The attitude Of the convention on
the candidacy Of LaFollette is prob-
lematical. The known disappFovaI
in the past Of Gompers, national la
Dor leader, for any policy not strict
ly non-partisan may not have full
sway over the convention. An ex-
preston from President Gompers as
to his attitude is expected by Labor
leaders before the LaFollette endorse
ment comes before the delegates for a
decision.

its moral and other help.
The letter conveys the hearty
thanks of German trades unionism
to the English trade unions for their
willing and self-sacrificing help, with
out which we certainly should not
have been able, as we now are, ener-
getically to oppose the employers in
their attempts to lower the conditions
of labor"
The letter is a fine tribute to the
spirit of British labor and shows that
British and German labor have been
really working together and not
merely talking about cooperating.
From a study of sickness in South
Carolina mill communities, the United
States Public Health Service finds
that persons of all incomes in the
populations studied were affected by
slight illnesses to about the same
extent, but those in the lower income
classes were affected in a much great
er degree by severe and chronic ILL
nesses than those in the higher in
come classes.
This is only another way of saying
that workers earning high wages are
healthier than those earning poor
wages. Farmers Of high wages are
also happier and more contented and
better citizens in every way, a fact
that organized labor has been point
ing out for many years. Labor, how
ever, is always glad to see its views
upheld by other agencies and it is
particularly pleased when its views
are supported by Government ex-
Perts. This is just what the report
of the Public Health Service does.
1t deserves the widest kind of circu-
lation and publicity.

This will not be a fact until the
Gompers organization is captured and

The multiplicity of nationalities and
the high development of American
capitalists also obstruct the formation

BY The Way

Believers in the increasing misery"
theory and pessimists who hold that
the world is not progressing toward
better things are invited to study the
eighth annual report of the National
Industrial Conference Board, which is
controlled by big industrial interests
unfriendly, in the main, to labor.
According to the report, the Amer
lean wage-earner was about one-third
better off last spring than he was at
the outbreak of the war in 1914 as
regards his pay and his workday was
shorter.
The report declares that the Amer
lean wage-earner is at present better
off than he has been at any time in
the history of American industry. This
is said to be true despite the fact that
the workers money earnings have not
reached the high level attained in
midsummer of 1920, when the cost
of living was also at its highest point.
The report plainly indicates that
the position of the great masses in
America is steadily improving. AL
though organized labor is not given
the credit for this Improvement in
the report, it is universally admitted
that the trade union movement is
largely responsible for the present
position of the American worker. The
report, in fact, is a tribute to the
efficiency of organized labor. Those
who say that organized labor is all
wrong won't like to draw this conclu-
sion from the report, but it is the
only conclusion that a thinking man
or woman can draw from studying it.
British and German trade unions
are giving a splendid exhibition of
international solidarity and friend
ship.
Forgetting the bitter hatreds of
the war, British workers have been
giving effective support to the Ger
man unions in their struggle to pre-
vent the employers from lowering
standards of living in Germany.
That the German workers are CRATE
full is shown by letter from Secre-
tary Leipart of the German General
Federation Of Trade Unions, thanking
the British Trade Union Congress for
