The SmarteSt Car

This added luxury makes the Mitchell
the smartest car you'll see.
Enormous ovens have been built so
the finish coats can be fixed by heat.
The result is deep, lustrous finish
which keeps its gloss for years.
Fifty per cent has been added to the
cost of the leather upholstery and of the
cushion springs. This gives you an
extra.grade leather.

John w.. Bate, the great efficiency
engineer, built and equipped this entire
plant. 1t now covers as acres. It's out
put next year will be $4,000 cars. No
other factory in the world could build
like car at anywhere near our cost.
The results show clearly in hundred
ways-in over-strength, in added lux
uries, in extra features. They show in
these new cars more than ever before.
Come now and see them.

The Innovations


Next years Mitchel1s, which have
just arrived, embody the following in
novations:
A new-size called Mitchell
Junior offered to men who want
5-passenger car. So you don't need to
pay for room or power not needed.
Eight latest-style bodies are brought
out, all built in the Mitchell plant
The saving made in the new body
plant all goes into added luxury. Thus
"a per cent has been added to the cost
of finish, upholstery and trimming.
There are 81 extra features, instead
of 26. These are attractions which
other cars omit.
And now, for the first time, Mr.. Bate
announces double-strength in every
Mitchell part. He has worked for three
years to attain that.

Mitchell. But this cost is paid by 9ac.
tory savings, due to Bate efficiency
methods.
Margins Now1OO%
Three years ago Mr.. Bate started out
to double our margins of safety. They
had been so per cent-a standard then
called extreme. Now every part has
twice the needed strength.
There are over $40 parts made of
toughened steel. All parts which get a
major strain are built of Chrome-Vana-
dunn. The most important parts are
also oversize.
The result is lifetime car. Every
common weakness has been overcome.
Even the problem of breaking springs
seems to be solved completely. Not
one Bate cantilever spring has ever
yet been broken. And we have used
them for two years now.
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1916-12-21

You have never seen car at modest
price in which every detail is so finished
and exquisite.
Savings made in our new body plant
pay for all this added luxury. So this
is another result of efficiency.
81 Wanted Extras
In this latest Mitchell there are 81
features which nearly all cars omit. No
other car includes more than four of
them.
These are things like power tire
pump, reversible headlights, an engine
primer at drivers hand, an extra-cost
carburetor, ball-bearing steering gear,
light in the tonneau, etc.
1t will cost 50, 100000 on next years
output to add these extras to the

''Proflt Sharing" A Failure

Chicago, June, 2.-The Union

sharing" schemes:
Events at the plant of the In
ternational Harvester company the
past week go to show the failure of
the so-called profit sharing plan to
bring justice to the workers. Two
days before last Christmas the daily
press announced a wonderful phil
anthropy on the part OF this COM
pany. They were going to reward
continuous service and assist EN-
ployes to become stockholders In
the company and share Its profits.
A plan was published giving the
employees the privilege of subscrib-

from $50 to 81, 900 to be paid in
sums of not less than 81 ner more
than $25 month, to be deducted

New Legislation.
To Protect Unions To Be De-
manded BY Ohio Leaders.

Columbus, Ohio, June 2.-The
Ohio State Federation of Labor is
to wage vigorous campaign this
year for a law In the state similar
to the National Clayton act. This
defines labor uniens to be lawful
organizations and provides that the
provisions of the antitrust laws
shall not apply to them.
The labor men fear that the pro.
visions of the Valentine act In Ohio
may be applied to themselves If la
Dor is treated as a commodity
hence their demand for new legis.
lation.
The Executive Committee yester.
day outlined the board s demands,
and the matter will be an Issue In
the coming primary elections and
before the state conventions.
Samuel Gompers President of the
American Federation of Labor, and
state labor leaders addressed a la.
Dor mass meeting here Wednesday
night toprotest against the alleged
actions of Columbus city officials
In forcing street car union organ
izers to leave the city recently.

Broom Makers Strike.

Chicago, June 2.-Iptelerable
conditions at the factory of the
United States Broom and Brush
company has forced girls on strike.
These employees took the places of
other gills, who struck a year ago.
1t is stated that wages paid by this
concern are so per cent less than
the union rates and that it Is the
only broom factory In the country
that employs females. While the
previous strike was In progress the
foreman was brought into the
morals court on complaint of girls
and fined.

Hummine Birds Homes Are Not Hid
den, Yet They Defy DerecAion.


Even in those parts of tropical Amer
lea where, as In Colombia, humming
birds are vastly numerous, 1t is almost
impossible for the most experienced
naturalist TO find their nests, In this,
although as a rule they are not hidden
at all, the feathered builders relying
for concealment upon the likeness of
their tiny houses to the surroundings
amid which they are placed. A hum
mer's nest always corresponds exactly
I'm color with the branch to which it is
attached. 1t may initiate knot or
other excrescence. Thus the Calliope
humming bird OF the western United
States often builds on dead pine
twig either upon or near cone of
similar size and hue.
Usually the nests Of humming birds
are cup shaped or turban shaped, and
their material is always plant down

Charging that labor organizers,

being corrected by methods in direct
violation of the principles of demo-
cratic government, were made
Wednesday night. at Memorial hall
by Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor.
He scored Mayor Karb and Chief
Carter for alleged curbing of free
speech by illegal use of police
power, a practice which, he said,
eventually will overthrow Ameri-
can principles of liberty if toler-
ated.
"Your chief Of police, without
any warrant of law or authority,
has sent out his subordinates to ap-
prehend men who are here to work
for the interests of the working
classes" he said. Some of them
have been fined; others teld to
leave the city. Will these two of
hcials or the city attorneys point
out the law which gives them the
authority to order men out of town
who have not been convicted of
crime here or any other place -

Resolutions adopted after Com
pers' talk arraigned the officials In
severe terms.
Gompers declared that he would
confer with Governor Willis Thurs.

Dor situation here. He said that
he had communicated with him
and had assurances that he would
lend his assistance. The resolu,
tions indicated the labor leaders ex.
pected the governor would remove
The local officials from Office.
Gompers, In his address, scored
the newspapers, because he saic
they did not publish news of inter
est to labor. He said that the
channels of news have been so per
verted that the public has not beer
told of actual eccurances, and added
that the newspapers would probab
ly fall to give details of the meet
Ing and of his talk with Governo
Willis.
Speaking of the arrest of Johi

facturers In your industry volun-

ever 1t IL possible for me as one OF
the trade unionists to do, will be
given you without stint or limit oi

In reply to the manufacturers
claim that they favor the "oper
shop" President Gompers said:
"You know what the open shop
has meant, and you know what II
means. The open shop is nothing
but mis-application of that term
for, as Ii is understood and ex
pressed by employers and particu
larly organized employers, ii means

Secretary Morrison spoke alonl
similar lines, and later, In an in
