ASSOCIATED PRESS DTsPATCH1
 SEATTLE, Nov. 17.-Firey speeches were made at the American Federation of Labor convention during an attack on the Michigan copper mine owners, whose employees are on strike and reso- lutions demanding a congressional In- vestigatfon and calling for contribu- tions to support the strikers were adopted. President GOmpers said the convention undoubtedly would adopt a resolution if presented demanding an investigation of the charges that the Calumet and Hecla company obtained title to it's copper lands by fraud.
 By this means, said Gompers, the workers might obtain adjustment, and perhaps retribution on the company"
 The Calumet strike was the special business of the afternoon. The resolu- tions adopted set forth that:
 Whereas, mine owners have ignored the demands of the men, spurned their attempts at conciliatiOn, and in many ways have treated them with contempt, have imported gunmen, thugs, and so-
 called detectives into the strike zone, and these men have deliberately killed
 the strikers in cold blood, assaulted the
 woman and beaten and terrorized the
 children.
 Whereas twenty-f five hundred mili- tia have been sent to the strike dis trict and these soldiers have driven their horses over men, woman and children, beating them with guns, ba- YOnets and sWOrts, and outraging the women and girls;
 Resolved, that the American Fede- ration of Labor demands a congress
 of ha Cfr ri the causes leading up to it;
 Resolved. that the American Fed- eration of Labor unqualifiedly approves the standing of the Michigan miners, and calls on all affiliated unions to contribute at least the amount asked by the executive council of the federation and where it can be afforded, that lar ger amounts be donated and that if possible. means be provided by the un- ions to raise money for the purpose of providing food. clothing and shelter for those fighting the battle for oppressed humanity"
 The speakers were all men who had i been in the strike field. Joseph Cannon of the Western Federation of Miners i described the conditions under which | the miners worked and said they were
 revolting He declared documentary evidence is obtainable to prove the i Calumet & Hecla company obtained
 free from the United States govern ment in 1852 a valuable mineral land as 1 a grant in aid of a canal and the land has never been used for canal purposes but for the copper it contained. The convention adopted resolutions urging unions to work zealously for an 1 eight hour day, cOndemning Sunday work. declaring opposition for the movement for Sunday opening of post | offices, sympathizing with the postal i clerks in their struggle for shorter | hours and the abolition of night work
 as far as possible. The Calumet de- ! bate seems to have soidified the dele- | gates and tonight there is little talk Of
 changing the policy of the federation and retiring Gompers.

Getting a line on the snow possl- bfItties of the Salt river and Tonto basins will be the highly important work of Assistant Weather Observer Kenneth Meaker and Engineer S K. Baker of the L. $. R. :. for the next three weeks. Accoutered after the fashion of the Arctic explorer, these two. with assistants, will leave shortly for the high mountain valleys that supply Arizona's gar1en spot with the greater part of it's water fund. Ana the way this pair will work will be to weigh the snow that falls on a thou sand square miles of hill and vale within the next two weeks.
 This is the most important work vet attempted by the weather bureau ir Arizona. In it's results, the recla- nation service is taking a tremen- dous interest. for the figures will show the real capacity of the most important sources of water supply for the Roosevelt lake. By methods re- centIv perfected by weather bureau experts, and in use now all over the known world for measuring the value of snowfall in terms of Water-tons, Meaker and Baker will scout around and locate the well-springs of the Salt river project, and discover just what the capacity of the same can be under certain varying circumstances. The melting conditions influence the run-off and the soakin and these, too, will be the objects of study. In- sruments, known as snow scales stake like tubes that will measure the water capacity of a snowfall up to nine feet deep, constitute the main

 Recognition of the joint committee which the company officials had de- clared inconsistent with existing con- tracts is the chief contention of the unions and which tue men were refused precipitated the walkout.

CARING FOR TIRES
QUITE IMPORTANT
Manager of Firestone Service
Department Warns Against
Punctures and Cuts.

Importance of caring for tires. espe.
ciaIly at this season of the year, is not
always appreciated by motorists. l.
Greenwald, manager of the service de.
partment of the Firestone Tire and
Rubber Company, sounds warning OF
nes.ected punctures and cuts.
During the fall and spring. he
says, tire service will be abbreviated
to a considerable extent if cuts. pune.

much care cannot be exercised in avoid.
ing injuries of this nature. At least
when they do occur, have them giver
the proper attention within a reason.
able period.
"A cut in the tread or cover of the
case has a tendency to expand when
that part of the tire Is in contact with
the road. and dust grit, pebbles, and
other foreign matter forces itself in.
With the revolution of the wheel and
when the injured part of the tire is re-
lieved of the weight Of the car, the
foreign matter which has accumulated
acts as a wedge. forcing itself further
between cover and fabric, not infre-
quently completely separating them.
IF separation OF tread and fabric
begins and is neglected for any length
of time, usually it is necessary to apply
an entire new cover. If the fabric is
in fairly good condition, generally this
can be done in a satisfactory manner,
but it is more practical and less expen-
sive to attend to the cut when it is
first made
Frequently owners can, not under
stand why tires having good covers and
appearing all right from the outside
fail to give long service, and they are
astonished when they learn from a re-
pair man that it is not practical to re-
build.
This often is due to water working
through neglected cuts in the cover and
causing decay and disintegration of the
fabric. The fabric is the real founda-
ton and strength OF the tire and there
fore IT is highly important that It be
protected.
After a long trip or at certain inter-
walls, examine the tires carefully. Re-
move tacks. glass, nails or other mat
ter which may have become imbedded
in the tread. before any serious damage
is done. Wash away all mud.
Heal cuts, punctures and snags with
preparations intended for emergency re-
pairs. If the injuries are of a very
serious nature. II would be Well to have

CAROWNERS
OF TWO CT ASSES
There Are Those Who Know How to Get Most Out of
Them, and Those Who Treat Them With the
Greatest Formally. ..:t

Owners of motor cars might be di-
vided into two classes-those who know
how to get the most out OF them and
those who treat their cars with tie
greatest formality. They use them with
dignity. on occasions. II they go mark.
citing in them they do it with an all
which calls attention to their high

There are other motorists who make
their cars an intimate part of thei:
daily life. They take the car out or

The real automobile vacation can
last any length of time. 1t can be taken

Farmer Wants to Trade Farm

IAN amusing feature in connection
with our present aggressive advertising
campaign says George III. Strout, gen.
eral sales manager of the Haynes Auto
mobile Company. who was recently In
Washington visiting T. Oliver Probey,
of the Prodigy Haynes Motor Car Com
pany, '.is the desire we have created on
the part of the people to own Haynes
cars, few of whom are not in position
to part with ready cash.
For instance, a farmer down in
southern Texas. wrote IN last week Cf-
fering to trade his eighty-acre farm for
one of our latest Haynes models, with
the vulcan electric gear shift. Another
person stated that he had always want
ed to own an automobile, but his money
was tied up in real estate. Now, how
ever, he had fully made up his mind TO
get Haynes, and was willing to trade
his house and lot in South Dakota for
two-passenger roadster.

central Kansas asking how many
Haynes cars he would have to sell for
