So far as the Bulletin can
learn there Is no law dealing directly
with boyCOtting of bill boards.
Inquiry made ELECTS the information
from the proper legal authorities that
conspiracy in restraint Of trade Is
illegal and therefore punishable under
the antitrust Law, which is made spe.
officially applicable to Territories.
The Interpretation Of what constl.
tutes conspiracy might be put in the
following terms:
If ten families should unite in a
combination to refrain from patronil.
ing firms that use the bill boards and
solicit others to join their combination
for the same purpose. they would be
liable under the charge Of conspiracy.
II, on the other hand, the members
of these ten families should individ.
ually refrain from patronizinE those
who use the bill boards, and one or
more of them should 20 out and
preach the doctrine. 81 don't care what
you do, but ! shall neither patrouiZo
the bill boards nor deal with those
who patroniZe the bill boards" they
would not be violating the law; they
might indeed go so far as to urge 9th
ers to follow their example but re-
frain from entering into a combina
ton with their converts, and still not
be liable under the law. A newspa
per for instance, might preach the
doctrine OF boycott and escape punish
ment, but become subject to proseCu
ton IL its campaign were followed "
with the publication of an unfair Ol
black" list of those who should not
be patrOnized.
The whole matter seems TO the lay
man to turn on whether "A movement

IMPORTANT feature Of PIERCE
ARROW TRUCK FOR HEAVY HAULING

Just a little more than a year ago
the Pierce-ArrOw Motor Car Company
OF Buffalo announced officially that it
has adopted the worm drive for its
fiye-tOn truck. The announcement
came as surprise to the motor car
world for no other reason than that
the worm drive was new to this cOun-
try and no inkling that the Buffalo
concern had been experimenting with
II had leaked out to any great extent.
The worm drive Is not new. It was
known several hundred years ago as
drawings in the British Museum from
the hand of Durer testify. These
drawings show the worm drive Oper-
ated by hand used to propel some Of
the floats used in great pageants. It
has been in use In motor cars in Eng.

the care generally displayed 20 pro-
vide safeguards for ordinary bear
ings, the recklessness with which ma
Chinery power transmission chain Is
exposed to the elements IL hard to
understand It is one OF the anOma-
lies OF machine construction that
should disappear.
\ machinery transmission chain
consists essentially OF a series of jour
mails and bearings, These bearings
work through an arc of limited extent,
usually under high unit pressures,
every time they pass over the sprock-
cts. They require fabrication, and
are injuriOusly affected by dirt the
same as any other bearing. Why
then should the transmission chains
OF autO-truCks be allowed to run with
out Il case or any protection whatsO-
ever from the mud and dust OF the
streets? The practice is indefensible
and should be abolished. An uncOv-
cred chain is noisy and soon becomes
inefficient because of wear.
A well-knOwn manufacturer of ma
lchinery chain published the results of
test made on two chains, one work
ing In case in an oil bath and the
other under ordinary conditions. The
enCased chain ran 10000 miles under
heavy load and the elOngation in 90
inches was only about l-l6 inCh, or
less than O.OOl at each link. The
other chain elongated inch after
driving 5000 miles. While the unpro-
itccted chain was still in fair shape,
II was not as efficient as when new,
the links having worn out of bitch. A
chain deteriorates more rapidly after
Il has worn appreciably out Of pitch
than before because of the tendency
to mount the sproCket teeth. An un-
protected chain Is an Oflcnse against
the moral precepts OF machine design,

spite OF every conceivable objection
that was brought forward during the
earlier days, its use is accepted on
the heavier passenger cars as stand

Analogous to this Is the case Of the

London General Omnibus Company,

decided upon the worm drive Tor its

OF these to the scrap heap AS fast as
It can be replaced by new worm

more, and early next year this ono
concern will have in actual operation
1000 wOrm-driven vehicles.
"li more proof OF the unqualified
success OF this form of final drive be
needed 1t may be said that the largest
contractors for carrying mail for the
general post office in Great Britain
now have in use SO worm-driven
trucks OF all sizes from 5-tOn capacity
downward. The operating engineer of
this company last month reported
that these were absolutely success

trucks extending much over three
years in this country is not yet avail
