New Gas Billing
System Planned,
Kdrpinski Is Told

An indication that the Michigan
Consolidated Gas COmpany's bill
ing system, now based on the DE
troit Gas Unit" may soon be
changed TO the British Thermal
Unit was seen today in replies by
gas and state officials TO charges
by Prof. Louis c. Karpinski of
the University of Michigan.
Prof. Karpinski accused the
company of using deceptive meth
DDS of billing and demanded the
removal of the Public Service
Commission which approved the
system.
Gas Company President William
G. Voolfolk in reply pointed out
that Immediately after the recent
election the company began work
on a plan for the elimination of
those features which are so
greatly disturbing the professor"
WITHIN FEW WEEKS
Chairman John J. O'Hara of the
Public Service Commission said he
understood that the company was
to present billing plan based on
British Thermal Units within the
next few weeks.
Prof. Karpinski and others
charged in telegram 40 the gov
ernor that the commission allowed
the gas company to substitute diff
ferent units of measure in Detroit
and in Ann Arbor, although all
meters are read in terms of cubic
feet. 1t added:
Further incompetence is indi-
Gated as thermal units have been
permitted to all various gas
companies In Michigan using
natural gas. Thermal units de-
ceive the public. preventing the
public from receiving the bene-
fits of the lower cost of natural
gas"

WASHINGTON. - The newsr arer
men who attend President Roose-
velt's press conferences are getting
a little tougher, as time passes. on
the Importance to national defense
OF the labor troubles in industries
working on U. S. or British war or
ders. The Presidents retort about
never more than one-quarter of one
per cent of the defense production
being tied up by strikes at any one
time did not end the questioning
at recent conference.
Putting their heads together after
wards, one group of reporters de-
cided that this "one-quarter OF one
per cent was much more deceptive
than anything the newspapers had
printed. One reporter figured out
that the Allis Chalmers strike alone
was tying up more than one-third
of | per cent OF all national defense
orders.
Inasmuch as this one strike had
been running for more than six
weeks on the day the President
made the statement, and inasmuch as
there were quite a number Of other
strikes in national defense industries
during that six weeks, it would seem
that there must have been some
rather extraordinary mathematics
on the part of whoever gave the
President that figure.
ANY DELAY IMPORTANT
But there is another side to it.
which has little to do with percent
ages. 1t may be very interesting to
know the exact percentage in any
given case, but a war is contest
in which one side usually wins. and
the other loses. 1t is not case Of
whether either Of the combatants
makes passing mark, as in an
academic course.
To make the point clear in this
case, let us assume for moment
that the possible invasion of the
United States about which SO much
has been said does come about, and
that the Gettysburg OF this contest
would be an air battle. Let us further
assume that this air battle was
desperately close-as indeed Get
ty5hurg was-and that wien it was
over the winner had only a few
score OF planes left, and the loser
none.
Now let's 60 back to this strike
situation. Suppose there is strike
in a factory making airplanes, or a
plant producing the engines for them,
or the aluminium, or whatnot. And
suppose as 4 result of that strike this
country has 100 less airplanes on
the day OF that battle than it would
have had had there been no strike.
II might easily make the differ
ence between this country's being
conquered and its emerging trium-
plant, and yet that strike might not
figure as one-tenth of per cent OF
