GIVE LABOR THE OPPORTUNITY.
Not long ago American manufactur
ers and other were asserting that the
reason for high prices was the failure
of labor to buckle down to industry
and that increased production was the
only way to bring down the high cost
of living. That idea was economically
sound and it found a responsive chord
in the minds of the American people; it
was generally agreed that the supply
must at least equal the demand, or
perhaps go it a little better, before the
prices would fall. Labor saw the
logic of the contention and began to
buckle down to work with an idea of
increasing the production in many
lines. Now comes a clog in the ma
chinery of the process through the
action of many mill owners in shut
ting down their plants. How can la
bor increase the product of the country
if the opportunity for work is denied
them! How can the supply catch up
with the demand if the doors of the
mills are closed? How can the cost of
living be reduced if the wheels of in
duatry stop? These are questions
which mii?ht verv nertinentlv be sucr

employers of the United States that
the backwardness of labor was in large
measure responsible for the high cost
of livine. Labor stands ready to pro

CURRENT COMMENT
The American sharpshooters partici
pating in the international events at
Beverloo, Belgium, are simply demon
strating anew that proficiency which
tlipy showed only two short years ago
in the same country when the targets
were human beings instead of inani
mate objects. They are making soma
fine records now, as then.
A civic reception was given in New
York City the other evening in honor
of Sir Thomas Lipton, the unsuccess
ful challenger for the America's cup.
Place for John Barrett
Many people in this Section of Ver
mont will be interested in the an
nouncement that John Barrett, lately
director general of the Pan American
union, is to be president of the admin
istration council of the Pan American
college of commerce to be opened at
Panama. This institution is to give
two courses of six months each in all
branches of business and economic re
lation between the sister republic of
America. The eovernment of Panama
has given the institution housing in the
fine arts building on the exposition
grounds.
The New York Times says that Mr.
Barrett "haa been American minister
to three Latin-American states and
has done more than any other Ameri
can to foster commerce and good feel
ing between the two Americas." This

The Democratic candidate for vice-
president, Franklin D. Roosevelt, ex
presses the opinion that by hard work
the Democrats can come "very near'
to' carrying Coolidge'a home state of
Massachusetts. In view of Coolidge's
majorities in the gubernatorial elec
tions the declaration seems to be
founded more upon hope than upon re
search into the situation.
It may not be prima facie evidence
of profiteering when one Boston mer
chant announces potatoes at one dollar
a perk while his competitor just across
the streets tells the world he is sell
ing potatoes at seventy-three cent a
peck; but it is mighty poor business
judfrment for the fotner to refuse to
swallow his losses on a big purchase
at former prices and to refuse to come
down to the level of the more recent
buyer at a far less price. And still,
there may be some profiteering in the
dollar potatoes.
A Vermont Lean-To,
The barn that'a built from plans that's
sound
Should have a lean-to somewhere
Most archytects prefer the west
Though some declare the south side

If, reader, it should chance to be
You're short a lean-to, hark to me:
Though not a building boss by trade,
I'll tell you how I've seen 'em made;
Without the fuss to underpin
lou dig some holes that posts go in;
From post to post you nextly spike
A rail, and on the barn the like;
From off your pile of hemlock hoard
You pick the worst the top affords,
Then right across from rail to rail
Them slivery slats you up and nail;
You guess they'll shed the wettest rain,
And if they do, you can't complain;
You aint's obliged to bosrd the ends.

Conductor Waa "Fed Up."
A Yankee riding on a London bus
asked the conductor about a certain
statue in Pall Mall.
"That'a George III," was the reply.
"It took six months to put that up."
"We could have erected him in six
days," boasted the Yank. "And what's
this monument we're just coming to!"
"That's Nelson's column took two
years to build that."
"Gee!" came from the other, "we'd
have done it in as many weeks."
The conductor smiled wearily, and
when presently, as they were passing
St. Paul's, the Yank inquired, "What's
that old structure? How long did that
take to build?" He replied quietly,
"Can't say, sir. Didn't notice it there
when I passed this morning." Boston

In order to acquaint the public with the genera telephone
situation, and some of the reasons for delay in completing new
installations chief among which is the difficulty of getting the
numerous kinds of necessary material we have prepared a
series of announcements of which this is the first.
Reserve Telephone
Equipment Exhausted
We used to engineer our plant switchboards,, cables, cir
cuits, and all necessary parts thereof to anticipate by several years
the growth of population or manufacturing in any particular place
or region. Consequently, we were always able to meet promptly
demands for sen-ice, no matter how large or unexpected.
Hence, during the war period we were able to give service to
a rapidly increasing list of subscribers, although we had little pri
ority consideration as a necessary industry and were compelled by
government restriction to abandon our normal programme of ad
vance construction.
When the war ended, however, these reserve facilities had
been almost wholly pre-empted by the growing demand. Our usual
reserve of central offices, switchboards, power plants, conduits,
cables, manholes, pole lines no longer existed. We required rubber,
paper, copper wire, lumber, silk, clay, glass, porcelain, paraffin, and
many other things not ordinarily associated in the public mind with
telephone service, in order to restore our reserves.
Every business man will realize the difficulty experienced in
getting some, if not all, of these things. We had to get all, or de
vise somfi efficient substitute for those which could not be had.
We have installed more new telephones thus far this year
than in any previous similar period of telephone history; and we
could have done still more but for the exhaustion of our reserve
equipment caused by general conditions of production and trans
portation. These are showing signs of improvement, however.
Our morale is good. Our people are earnestly desirous of
giving good sen-ice and of extending it as fast as possible. Al
though there are many persons to whom we cannot at once give
telephone sen-ice because of conditions wholly outside our organi
zation, we are determined to meet their desires as soon as it is hu
manly possible to do so.
