Organized labor is preparing to make

Is regarded by State labor leaders as
the entering wedge in a reactionary
drive against laws lettering the condi-

Mr.. Barnes will not meet the unions and
agree with them on labor amendments
for the State Constitution there will be
wal to the knife between MIR. Barnes
and the unions In the political field.
MIR Barnes IL opposed to the COM

he carries out his plans against the I'M
por,ant labor laws of the state. We

THE labor unions Of the State realize
that in Mr.. Barnes they have an oppo-

A Plain Talk About
Automobile Values

u EOPLE are asking their friends a lot of
questions about the relative values of the
best known automobiles.
Interest centers chiefly. Of course, in the
lightweight SKIES, because the lightweight six
is the most popular type of car, and much Of
the interest ~censers in the Chandler.
The Chandler cannot supply the entire de-
mand for lightweight SKIES. but for thorough,
careful purchasers who want to be very sure of
relative values, there are some interesting facts
we'll worth considering.
Such a purchaser will not forget that the
Chandler was the first high-grade six selling for
less than $4,000 and weighing less than 1000
pounds. He will not forget that the Chandler
pioneered the way for light-six domination and
established the Light-Six Era. That was three
Years ago. The price was $I7ss.
The popularity of the Chandler Idea has
srown by leaps and bounds ever since.
Other light-sixes quickly followed into the
market, but the Chandler has occupied a posi-.
ton OF leadership all the way. A leadership in
quality and price. And now Chandler is building
