WASHINGTON, May 21— A dead
lock over mail contracts involving the
postoffice department and the Inter
island Steam Navigation Company,
which has a monopoly of transporta
tion between the islands of the Ha
waiian group, may result in applica
tion for congressional action, accord
ing to Otto Praeger, second assistant
postmaster general.
Four-year contracts for carryng the
mails between the islands are expir
ing, and when new ones were pro
posed in February the department
found that acceptance of the bids
would entail an annual payment of
more than 100 per cent over the $40,
000 formerly charged for the service.
The islands, scattered over several
degrees of latitude and longitude
above the equator, are still being
served, but the government has re
fused to pay the new price, and has
offered instead a 25 per cent increase,
and the company has refused that.
“As a remedy the department is
considering asking congress for legis
lation which will compel transporta
tion companies to accept mail for car
riage at the rates made for carrying
express,” Mr. Prager said. “The Ha
waiian situation is typical of others
arising in seaboard sections of the
United States. If we had now power
to compel the Hawaiian island car
riers to accept the mail as express,
that situation could be cleared up
rapidly.
“Also the same power, if granted
by congress, would operate to get
cheaper service elsewhere in the
United States.”
Hawaiian mails are increasing in
volume, and in number of points of
destination to be served, the depart
ment records show. Mail goes by
the transpacific steamships to Hono
lulu, and thence is distributed by the
smaller ships making the interl-island
passages.

ALL KINDS SILK
WASHINGTON, May 20.—The
United States has become the silk
manufacturing center of the world as
a result of the war, which has stimu
lated manufacture of silk here and in
the far East at the expense of Europe.
A study of the silk industry, the
first official inquiry of the kind, has
just been completed by the tariff com
mission.
Japan continues to lead the world
in the production of silk, while the
United States, first among the nations
in its manufacture, does not produce
a single pound of the material. France
continues the chief European manu
facturer of silk and the principal
source of American imports, Japan
ranking second.
The annual requirements of the
American silk industry are 20,000 tons
of silk and silk waste, 10,000 tons of
cotton and other yarns, and 1,000 tons
of metallic tin for weighting. Most
striking of all the developments due
to the war has been the expansion
of the spun-silk industry. The gov
ernment is requiring vast amounts of
coarse silk cloth, made from silk noil,
for making powder bags for the big
guns.
Many finer varieties of silk manu
factures are not made in this country
or else are manufactured in very
small quantities. Switzerland sup
plies practcally all of the silk bolting
cloth needed by the flour millers of
the world. Hatter’s plush, from which
are made men’s silk hacs, comes from
France. Silk laces, silk netting, silk
embroideries, veils and veilings, rib
bons and handkerchief material
largely are imported. In all»other
branches of the industry, even fine
wearing apparel and velvets, the im
ports are relatively small compared
to the total consumption.
Habutas, of which silk handker
chiefs are made, a soft, smooth, plain
woven fabric of pure silk, is the largest
single item of silk brought from
abroad. It has been a Japanese spe
cialty for more than 1,000 years.
Artificial horse hair Is made of silk
in coarse single filaments. Artificial
silk is made in fine filaments, which
must be combined before use.
Some silk filament is so fine that
it measures 3,000,000 yards, or about
1,700 miles, to the pound.
