It will be recalled that electric lines started out of the large cities I and went far into the country, but reached tlie Juniping-off place with no line beyond. Gradually these lines were extended and the con nections were made. The compan ies arranged for interchanges of passengers, and it became possible to purchase a ticket for journeys of hundreds of miles between main cities and to travel in comfort the entire distance and in time ap proaching railroad schedules. To day the truck haulage business is on a par in many ways with the earlier days of interurban electric lines, and the problem of the future will be tlie connecting up of the many freight ing companies who are so success fully using motor trucks, and the arrangements of a system of ex change of freight at points along the routes. Then it will be possible to ship through freight with every promise bf its reaching its destina tion in the shortest possible space of time and with the least amount of damage, i'nder organisation the companies will arrange moans to call for the freight at the door of the shipper tit the terminals, and freight for almost any point will lie taken without question. As America's great road system is improved to meet the exigencies of the times the ultimate will be reached. GOVERNMENT WORK TO KEEP LABOR BUSY War Labor Bourd Plans lo Start Enormous Public i I Projects at Oonce Washington, Nov. 22.—The War ; Labor l'ulicies Board has now become a peace policies board and has set out to realize the determination of American labor as*represented by Samuel Gompcrs to resist all efforts to lengthen the day or shorten the i pay of the workingman consequent upon the coming of peace. | Dr. Frankfurter and his associates, I however, realize that mere announce- | ment by Mr. Gompers or anybody j else that the short day and the long i pay are going to stick are mere verbal defiances unless tne economic foun- , dation can be provided. If there are j more men than jobs and more pro- J ductlon than consumption then there j is going to be competition for the at- I tenuated payroll and the elongated j job. A graphic illustration of this fact j has already appeared in the shipyards. I The efficiency of the workers at Hog 1 Island has increased 20 per cent, since j the armistice was declared. One day of fear that a good job might be lost accomplished more than j all the exhortations, patriotic ap- ' peals, competitive stunts and uplift work of a year. From now on ships j will be built faster than they were j built during the war, for with the I end of the war has come the belief | that there will soon be more* men than l jobs around shipyards. Five objective'. Sought The War Labor Policies-Board rec- i ognizes that wages come out of | wealth production and that the only chance there is for keeping them up to their present level is to crowd production and industrial activity to the limit. So it has laid down live objectives for the public policy de signed to meet the readjustment po riad without serious disturbances. These are: First—Avoidance of a large vol ume of unemployment. Second Maintenance of labor standards. Third—Avoidance of a falling off to a serious extent of rates of wages. Fourth—Maintenance <sf produc tion at a high level. Fifth—Removal of possibility of business depression. The first great step forward the at tainment of these ends is to be the immediate inauguration of public works on a great scale by the Fed eral government. The administration is now at work on an appropriation scheme for starting river and harbor work, national highroads and recla mation projects on an ambitious scale. This program will be laid be fore Congress after it meets in its second session in December, and every effort will be made to (jecure prompt action. Every ordinary government project from irrigation to lighthouses that was held up or slowed down on account of the war will be resumed, and Congress will be asked to auth orize new projects on a vast scale. Irrigation Work to Sturt Secretary Lane says that irrigation projects already surveyed, planned and estimated on can put 100,000 men at work the minute Congress presses tlie treasury button. Moreover, the moment Congress acts on this colossal scheme for the reclamation of arid, wet and cut-over lands he can put another half million to work. A national highways program has been outlined on such a magnificent scale that the mere mention of It he fore the war would have been pre sumptive evidence of Insanity. Ex tension of inland waterways is to he advocated as indispensable to/the solution of tlie nation's inland trans port problem. The railways are to be urged to "cut loose" at once, as asked by the steel men. with orders for steel and equipment. Catches Seven Cranes; Judge Was After Fish; Birds Wanted the Bait Dallas, Tex. Droughty eondi- 1 Hons in western Texas have driven large numbers of long-necked cranes • into the open and made them so > hold that they put up a stubborn j fight with fishermen for "their ! bait," according to Assistant Attor ney General John C. Wall, who has just returned from the Colorado liivcr. Judge Wall declared that it was necessary to keep'the halt hid den to prevent cranes from steal ing it. That the cranes are determined to have food is evident front the number Judge Wall caught on hooks while on his fishing trip. Seven lean, long-necked denizens of the marshes were taken from his hooks in one week. Judge Wall declared he was us ing two lines while fishing and that while one line was in .the water tlie other, baited, lay on the ground. Starving cranes sneaked up behind the judge and swallowed the min nows on the line which lay on the ground. Some of tlsem put up des perate tights and had to be shot' before they could be tuken from the hooks. Oversupply of Soft . Coal Is Alleged Now York—During the first seven months of the present coal year, April to October, 368,858,000 net tons of bituminous coal were pro duced In America, an increase of 42.437,000 over the output for the similar period last year, according to Coal Age. It is claimed that there is an oversupply of soft coal in almost every section of the •country, and many mines are unable to dispose of their output. It is said further that the steel mills and blast furnaces are so tvell suppiejj with soft coal that they will not come into the market for ! mpre until they can utilize their [large stocks in manufacturing pcaee- I time products. This is said to be I true of almost every industry. Rut, pointing to post-war activities, Coul Age wunts to know who can tell h6w long these favorable conditions will continue, and suys the shortage "which now exists on paper in the Fuel Administration records" may become a reality. Meanwhile it is said that the out put of unthracite from April 1 to date, is , behind the total production for the same period last year, the estimated comparison being 60,688,- 000 net tons, against 60,839,000. In creased wages und numbers of em ployes in hard coal' production are expected to cause an upward trend output.
