they employed in the Lawrence tex
tile strike, leaders of the l. w. w. are
planning to remove 5000 children
whose parents are strikers to New
York. 1t is uncertain whether the
city authorities will interfere with
the plan. If they do scenes similar
to those in Lawrence, when children
were torn from parents and women
were beaten, are sure to be enacted.
1t is becoming difficult to restrain
the strikers, who have been rendered
desperate by eight weeks of idleness.
Dye workers, especially, who form
the bulk of the unskilled labor, are
becoming hard to control. In previ-
GUS silk strikes they have been the
first to resort to violence.

MOTOR TRUCKS ARE
BETTER THIS YEAR
Manufactures Arc Turning Out Cars
of More Uniform Capacity,
Equipment and Stability.

The influence Of the National Asso-
citation Of Automobile Manufacturers
and also the Society Of Automobile En-
gineers on motor truck design shows
itself in nearly every exhibit at auto
shows this year. The uniform suaran-
tee plate is coming into general use,
and should prove a constant reminder
to the truck owner or driver that the
truck is capable of carrying a limited
load and that its speed should not eX-
coed a certain maximum. The 1aflu-
enoe Of these two organizations IS also
shown in reduced body weights ana
further in the fact that some manufae-
turers selling chassis without bodies
state the chassis capacity inclusive OF
body weight, so that whenever a BODY
exceeding a stated weight is put on
there is a corresponding number OF
pounds cut off the useful load that the
vehicle can carry The more headWay
a movement of this nature can gain and
the sooner it can get under way the
better for the future of the industry

yided for by way OF tires than ever pc

situation TO issue 10,O0o-mile tire guar

First. the tires have been improved,
and, second, they are more adequately
fitted for the service they have to per-
form.
There are many other minor improve
ments: Brakes are larger and more
accessible to adjustments; frame sec

FAVOR FEDERAL AID
FOR GOOD ROAD WORK
Governors All In Line For the Work;
Notable Year just Closes For
Good Roads Work.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 1.-Tw enty-
cine governors have named delegates
to represent their states in the second
federal aid good roads convention
called by the American Automobile as
ISOLATION to take place in Washington,
d, c., March and 7. Correspondence
with the executives in the remaining
states indicates that the representation
may cover the entire 4S common
wealths.
The volume Of inquiry pouring in
upon the A. A. A. at its national head
quarters gives convincing evidence that
the people of every section of the coun-
try are aroused to the necessity Of
having the national government do it's
part in building and maintaining the
highways, and the indications are that
attendance at the forthcoming con-
ventiOn viii be twice as large as at
that ii viii be the most important
gathering of good roads people ever
held in this country.
Many of the governors who have ap-
pointed delegates are very much awake
to the Importance of the federal aid
propaganda, and show that they in
tend to make it their business to ala
the cause in any way possible.
Governor Hunt Of Arizona, says; 4
am heartily in favor Of every move
ment tending TO further the good
roads cause in which your oTganiEa-
tiOn is so active, and / trust the dele
gates I have named will take keen
and beneficial interest in the work OF
the convention"
The year just closed has been a not
able enc from the viewpoint of good
roads enthusiasts in many directions
1t would be noteworthy If there were
nothing else TO record than the action
of many states in making liberal roads
appropriations. New YORK tops the
list with the s5o,000,O00 bond issue,
added TO its previous appropriation OF
an equal amount. Pennsylvania fol-
priatiOn which there is assurance viii

legislature. In California an $4,000, 600
bond issue is now being expended, in
Maine the 100000 bond issue has
been authorized, to be met by the au-
tomObile fees; smaller appropriations
in other states, all point to a vast bet

600 bond issue in Ohio is the only dis
