Burleson Says Post Office Now Self Supported
Postmaster General Burleson reports the United States Post Office Department is operating on a paying basis with a surplus over three and a half million dollars for 1914. He urges federal takeover of telegraph and telephone systems in Alaska Hawaii and Puerto Rico and suggests paid rural carriers could save at least 40 million annually. The piece also notes Pennsylvania’s Clark law creating commission government and Bradstreet estimates of European war costs, signaling a potential industrial boom for mining and metallurgy as demand rises.

The Woman in the Field, a Nation's Labor Dilemma
Peter Radford argues that no reform measures address the plight of women workers in agriculture. He cites census data showing 1.6 million women in fields, many under sixteen, and calls for wage reform or removal from field labor to avert social collapse. He invokes slavery imagery and pleads for policy action by Congress and the presidency.
