ably hold our own through the quality
of our gasoline and the superiority of
our service, and would solicit your pat
ronage solely on the basis of quality,
service and reasonable price, without
making any special appeal to you. We
have no business ramifcations or affilia-
tions in other states through which to
make up losses on gasoline sold below
cost, nor would we so use them if we
had Neither can we sweat the losses
out of defenseless laboring men and
their families. Even if we could, we
would prefer going out of the gasoline
business rather than resort to any such
practice. Certainly, if you think this
matter over, you cannot make yourself
a party to such crime against human
ity.
Right now is the psychological time
to throw the weight of your support,
either in approval of the policies men
toned or in support Of the independ-
ent gasoline interests now fighting to
avoid determination.
If you are with us, a phone to 308

Railroad. Place Biz Orders.

Orders for thousands of freight cars
by various roads have just been placed
with Chicago firms, and the steel anG
iron mills are busy with them.
The Pennsylvania Lines has just
placed an order for $500 new freight
cars, and 2, 500 of them are to be made
by Haskell & Barker in their plant at
Michigan City.
The Chicago & Northwestern Rail-
road has ordered 1000 new cars from
the Western Steel Car & Foundry Co.
and the New York Central has given
the same company an order for 1,5O0
new cars.
The Russian government is under
stood to be prepared to place orders for
$4,000 freight cars, and the Western
Steel Car & Foundry Co. expects to
land it.
The revival in iron and steel lines is
nation wide, as shown by the announce
ment from Philadelphia that the Penn
sylvania Lines has placed orders for
SIG, DOC, 900 worth of new equipment,
distributing the orders among six con-
Germs. to get quicker results.

GASOLINE USERS
FACE EXTORTION.
Standard Fights to Squelch conpe-
tition.
Consumers and Independent Companies
are vitality Concerned.

In the light of recent events, the re.
port of the United States industrial
commission is interesting to Iowa gaso'
line users and dealers, indicating, as il
does, phase of the situation not gen.
arally understood, yet having direct
bearing on the present fight to exter.
inmate gasoline competition.
The president of the United States,
Oct. 1913, appointed an industrial COM
mission to investigate the general re-
lations between workers and employ
ers throughout the country; the COM
mission consisting of nine members,
three from the laboring men, three
from the employees and three repre-
senting the general public.
This commissions Investigators, la
boring man cannot possibly procure
for his family the bare necessities of
health, decency, or comfort; conditions
which cannot! be .,remedied through
personal or united appeal, nor through
strike methods against an organization
which retains an agency which can put
an army of 10, 900 strike breakers and
guards into the field on three days
notice; an army composed in part of
discharged policeman and ex-criminals,
IN army that can beat into submission
any body of laboring men ever existed.
In the same report, General Manager
Clifford, of the Standard, is severely
criticised for his firm adherance 10 the
policy of child labor.
TheJpertinent point of the whole mat
ter may be summed up in few words.
In fight to destroy competition, such

modity.like gasoline is sold below act

be made up somewhere. Everyone has
heard of the 20 cent wholesale price in
New York and the high gasoline prices

Making unprotected gasoline users

the Iowa fight is bad enough; but
where the sinews of war are drawn
from the very life blood, gouged from
defenseless laboring men and their
families, we:believe, Mr.. Auto Owner
and Mr. Gasoline User you would not
knowingly care to countenance or sup
port such practice.

MORE CONFIDENT
OF VICTORY THAN EVER

London May 29.--The Nation prints
extracts from letter from its corre-
spondent abroad. in which he says:
During the past few days I have
had frequent opportunities of con-
versing with Italians of all classes
workmen. business men. members OF
the consulate staff returning from
Germany.
They are In magnificent spirits
but they tell me frankly that the
Germans are more confident of VIC
tory than ever and that every man
who can carry a rife or help TO kill
will count All the male population
between fourteen and sixty years
eventually will be called out.
The Kaiser has never been so
popular and every atrocity Is
hailed as a new glory. The greater
the number of nations against them
the greater their triumph will be In
the end. That is the genuine feeling
in Germany. Depression and murmur-
ing Is unknown there. and food Is
cheaper in Germany than 1t is In
Switzerland or Italy. We must un-
derstand that the job Is stiff one,
and the end Is far off. even IL new
countries intervene"
