of $30,9l5 over July year ago, ac-
cording to the monthly statement
filed with the Public Utilities Com

come deductions show a decrease
of 1852 for the month. The net
result of operations for July was
an improvement of sl6,956 over last
year, although the final figure was
q small seasonal deficit both this
year and last
Net income for first seven months
OF this year amounted to 81 ,034, ,702,
compared with S1,055 ,588 for the
same period in 1910 The reduction
of s20,886 arises from higher taxes,
which increased approximately
S1680OO
The report shows gas sales of
1919 M cubic feet for the month,
compared with 698,956 NJ cubic feet
for July last year. There were Ill.,
l68 meters in service in the District
of Columbia on July 81, an increase
of per cent over last year.
The company expended approxi-
mately Sl64000 in July and 1911 900

in Washington
Transit Revenues at Peak.
Operating revenues of the Capital
Transit Co in July scored a gain
Of S258,80723 over July, 1910, and
made one of the best monthly rec
ords in the history of the company,
study of the report filed with the

day diSCloses. Operating revenues
totaled $1307 ,09466, the gain being
247 per cent.
Total operating expenses, taxes
and depreciation amounted to ST.

or 35.2 per cent. Net income showed
a decrease of sl5,l5007, against an
increase year ago of S48, 1888 SO, |
this drop being due to the surpris- |
ing increase in taxes, which totaled |
s189 343.55, an increase of Sl06, 788 AS, |
or 1894 per cent.
Transit officials explained today
that when the July report was

possibility of having to pay addi-
tional taxes under a provision being
considered in Congress. and S28 900
was set aside TO meet this possibility
Taxes in connection with the sale
of certain properties by the COM
pany amounted to s47,2O0. The

LOCAL UNION RESPONSIBILITY
WHEN THE WORK of the Office of Productio

w Management reached the stage where it's
priority orders would reach into every town and
village, closing factory doors or changing the ma
chinery and the products, and when the Office OF
Price Administration and Civilian Supply was
ready to ration or close down production for civil
ian use the American Federation of Labor created
Federation Committee for National Defense and
asked all State FederatiOns of Labor and city
tral bodies to form corresponding committees, so
that the whole labor movement could act as a
unit in doing it's part in national defense and IN
conserving those principles and practices OF
democratic freedom which labor seeks to defend.
Responsibility rests upon labor organizations
lat every level of organization. Local unions should
or reduction of staff, so that reports can be made
to federal agencies that can relieve such situa-
tions. Initiative your part will help to protect
your interests and save you from the expense or
moving and the uncertainty Of change. Prompt
reporting of problems and prompt response from
the Defense Administration will maintain morale
and in any defense program morale is the most
important factor
The Federation stands ready to supplement
Whatever information you may report and VIII
put the full force of the labor movement in sup
port of constructive policies The first step in this
Federated effort is immediate reporting of busi-
ness shutdowns and unemployment resulting from
defense orders by local unions, organizers and
central bodies.
We have urged upon OPM the need for techni-
cal counsel to enable plants without defense
orders and denied necessary material for civilian
production to convert their plants to other civilian
production or to defense production Reports to
Headquarters of all will Facilitate action
along this line and will protect your interests as
well as those of many other citizens

PLAN RECONSTRUCTION

|THE EXTENT and the nature of the changes
necessary to turn our industries into arsenals
of democracy is indicated by the proportion of
national income which will go into defense. Ger
many is now spending between 60 and ~ per cent
of it's income on war, Great Britain so per cent
The United States will be spending about 33 per
cent by the end of the year and probably so per
cent in 1912 Industries supplying civilian needs
will be drastcally reduced by priorities and the
drop in spending income.
When peace comes the dislocations entailed in
the return to normal production will be just as
narrowing and costly as those we are now max
ing Nor will it be possible to follow former prac-
tices and customs. If we begin now we may have
ready plans and accumulated experience that will
enable us to avoid long periods of unemployment
for millions of workers by providing them with
productive, self-sustaining work.
The agencies and the people responsible for
defense are fully occupied with work that presses
upon them. There should be a group to consider
principles policies and plans for our future eco
nomic organization. This is responsibility which
requires time as well as wisdom and sufficient de-
tachment from immediate duties to permit con-
centrated attention. Our plan for reconstruction
sentatives OF the major groups concerned. A COM
mission composed OF such representatives, author
zed by Congress and financed by public funds,
should begin it's studies Immediately.
Following the last World War foreign markets
and the economic structure of every nation
crumbled under financial and economic cataclysms,
so that there were years of unemployment,
hunger, misery and waste of human capacity and
life.
We cannot safely repeat these major blunders.
We therefore urge Congress to act promptly and
effectively so that the responsibility of providing
for reconstruction may be met constructvely.
In addition to providing for planning for re-
construction in our democratic economy, Congress
should similarly provide commission to study
and be ready to recommend provisions for the
peace treaty to promote maintenance of world
peace. We shall never be able to escape from war
unless we can devise practical agencies and
methods for dealing with situations and causes
which result in war.

THE MATERIAL THING

STRANGE AS 1T may seem, many small bust
~ nesses are having hard struggle to keep go
ing in spite of the fact that we are in the midst
of a boom.
Although priority regulations have not seri-
ously crippled the pottery industry as yet, it is
conceivable that they may DO so and potters Ger, Ger
tainly sympathize with workers who find
themselves out of jobs even though the order
hopper may be full
~ We are told that great mills have the ca
pacity to produce almost twice the amount OF
steel that be used for defense, but try to buy
a hundred pounds of rod or few thousand
screws
Prices have been pegged to stop them from
running away, but some are set too low For ex-
ample, copper is II cents a pound, but even
though it is sorely needed in defense, it is ex-
tremely hard to get because a majority of mine
operators cannot produce the material at that
price and the workers cannot be paid decent liv-
ing wage
Naturally in any program so large, numerous
mistakes are bound to crop up, but there should
be no time lost in making correction.

ASSURING LABOR PROGRESS

viewed by union spokesman on the Labor Day
Just past. Solid gains in numerical strength in
wage hour and working conditions, in legislation
were cited in summing up labor's achievements.
Another year is ahead of us before Labor Day
1912 In view of present conditions, it will not be
an easy year. Tough problems of many kinds will
have to be met and solved. The best of leadership
i'm union ranks will be needed if labor is to set a
record as good or better, than in the past twelve
months. The help of every trade unionist will be
required.
This help can be given by regular attendance
at union meetings, enthusiastic cooperation in all
union activities, by consistent buying of union
label goods and products and in other ways. If
this support is forthcoming, labor will have an
other year of substantial progress, to be recalled
with pride next Labor Day.
