Detroit, Oct. 21.-Waiting early this
morning on a Woodward Avenue corner
for a streetcar, listened to two young
men standing under the same awning
They were strangers to one another
One said:
"My brother came up here yesterday
and he's going to work this morning.
loafed only one day myself. | got
here last Sunday and had a job the
next day.
The other one said: well. I've been
out of work for three days"
"You needn't be out Of work in De-
troit," the first fellow said "lf you
want to you can find it anywhere"
That is the keynote here in the
notwithstanding centre Of the unit
verse. Of course, they make other
things here, but, when you consider
that one-ffth Of the total population
of this city has it's fortunes wrapped
up with those OF one plant alone, you
NAV realize what the automobile
business signifies.
Responsible for Progress
That's Ford's plant. of course. And
Ford's plant has been responsible IN
part for enormous building and real
estate activities out along the line OF
Woodward Avenue, to Highland Park
and beyond. Ford's expansion has
seriously offered a housing problem,
because to get rooms for his work
men-and not his alone, but those OF
ever so many other factories that are
running capacity and beyond-has
meant a real puzzle.
So Detroit has been forced, even
though materials run mountain hign
in price, to 60 ahead building homes
as we'll as additions ito plants. Kent
them?
"You don't need to advertise any
other way than to put card in your
window" says one Detroiter. Il did
that on a Sunday morning and could
have rented three times over before
the afternoon came"
Factory extensions have been forced
by the ever increasing demand LOT
automobiles. But to get workmen Tor
the building work is no easy task
Dodge Brothers are advertising 1ar
and wide through the state in hopes OF
getting as many as $50 carpenters.
They have been in the market, too
for concrete workers.
WorImsn's Kingdom
This is the kingdom Of the workman.
He is making so much money that ne
declines to work every day.. he must
lay off now and again. and little ne
seems to care if he breaks up factory
routine by laying off. They say that
even foundation diggers get hauled 10
worl, in automobiles, and one gang

which insisted on having ice water
served, ready for whenever wanted. got
away with the demand all right.
Detroit has grown a lot of late and
il has pretty we'll outgrown its hotels.
A couple of conventions have been IN
town this week, one with headouar-
tiers at the Statler. the other the Tul-
Ter. The result was that no rooms were
to be had by the transient at these
places, or at the Pontchartrain. the
Cadillac or the Griswold. The Detroit
Athletic Club, which is. of course. only
for members or their guests, hadn't
room enough, either. Apparently this
city needs about 1000 rooms more. II
must be remembered that Detroit IS
getting around 100000 population. with
hundreds of statesmen in town every
dav TO do business with the various
departments Of the factories.
Every Day in the Year
Men who sell supplies. materials,
parts, advertising space, ETC., are mere
every day IN the year. Visiting dealers
and distributors are coming IN all the
time nowadays, chiefly to ask for cars.
There are countless good reasons for
big attendance here all the time, and
although Detroit thought a year ago
the hotel problem had been solved, now
IL is clear il is still a puzzle.
Incidentally, it may be said that De-
troit is by no means the only town
have visited thus far on my around tne
motor car centres which is showing
signs of great activity. kenosha ana
Racine. in Wisconsin, are Ike boom
towns in bonanza days. Both, OF
course. are making war goods as wen
as automobiles, but the Jeffrey plant
at Kenosha and the Mitchell at Racine
are certainly whirling. BY the way
thew are both under new manage
ment," and showing the effects OF II N
a spruceness and hustle that is typical
of the top-notchers.
Outgrowing Quarters
Both are otgrowing their present con-
fines. Both are certainly entering upon
record breaking seasons. -,
Down in indianapolis the automobile
factories are going along at speed
Marmon is completing the second thou
sand of it's aluminium car, is building
two new buildings and has material on
hand for several thousands OF cars,
which is being worked up by full rae

new building, and is producing cars at
the rate Of nearly 5000 year.
Stutz is getting motors now, a strike
in the motor plant patronized having
been settled, and by building ten cars

up to back orders.
The new Premier company is housed
in good quarters, and its new car on a
quantity basis is being keenly awaited.
The samples have been favorably re-
ceived.
Over in Kokomo the Haynes and APP
person are moving well. The Haynes,

South Carolina contributes a de-
cision in a case against the Southern
Railway Company, wherein it Is held
that a carrier may expel from a train a
passenger who fails TO produce ticket,
although by exhibiting a baggage check
he can show he had ticket and lost It,.
South Dakota people have telephone
troubles, too. IL was decided there
that telephone company cannot re-
fuse to serve patron because of nom
payment of disputed bill for service
during a time when the line was not in
condition and pending court proceed
ings to determine the amount due.
A Florida court holds that where in
the course of transportation goods are

and there is no negligence on the part
of The common carrier, the loss is
attributable to the food as an act Of
God and the carrier is not liable.

'BURLESON POLICY
BRUTAL, HE SAYS
Postoffce Clerks Leader
Accuses Wilson of Attack
on 8-HOur Law
fYrorn the Tribune Bureau-l

Washington, Oct Elbow the Will
son Administration attempted to re-
peal the eight-hour law for postoffice
clerks and, led by Postmaster General
Burleson, tried TO nullify the bene-
fetal legislation Of previous admins
trations was revealed to-day. by
Thomas +. Flaherty. secretary OF the
National Federation of Postoince
Clerks.
Mr.. Burleson, Flaherty pointed out
tried to repeal the eight-hour law IN
1914 in favor of twelve-hour day.
"Mr. Burleson. in his report to the
Saith Congress. after stating that the
service was permanently self-sustain-
ing. asked Congress to nullify ell OF
the employees principal legislative re-
forms" declared Mr.. Flaherty. Our
eight-hour law, our weekly rest Law.
our salary classification law would
have been nullifed If Congress had
needed the recommendation of the
Postmaster General. He also asked
that the rate of pay for substitute
service be reduced, despite the fact
that these men earn less than $40 per
month.
Tried to Kill Rest Law
Daniel c. Roper, former First As
sistant Postmaster General and now
one Of the campaign managers Tor tne
Democratic party in New YORK, toid
the House Postoffice and Post ROADS
Committee on December 3, 1913, that
it cost the department $4,000 to give
the clerks of the New York Postoiice
weekly day of rest. Roper asked that
the law be amended to enable the de-
partment to work all postoffice clerks
through the winter months without
any regular rest day.
an the boasted postal surplus &C
cumulattd during the present Admins
tration will be found the money wrung
from the aged mail collectors, who
were denoted from $1,000 to 1000
old men who have given lifetime to
the service There will also be found
in that surplus the 100000 withheld
from the pay of the rural carriers and
which Congress ordered returned To
them.
an its treatment of the aged service
workers the Administration has been
brutal.
Sought Raise for Aids
at the time when the department
was seeking to reduce the wage scale
of the substitute clerks and carriers
men whose earnings are wofully IN
adequate, Postmaster General Burle-
son asked the House Appropriations
Committee to increase the salaries OF
his four assistants from $4,000 to
$1,000.
Because of its refusal to fill va
cancies in the railway mail service the
clerks are overworked. The carrier
force has not been recruited to an ef-
ficient working standard, and in many
cities deliveries have been curtailed.
an most of the larger first class
postoffices the eight-hour day is a
misnomer; the employees are forced to
toll ten and eleven hours, to the I'M
pairment of their health"
Mr.. Flaherty, in letter to President
Wilson on October 6. declared:
1.-THE Postal Department officials hav.
placed you in the untenable position oil
advocating a principle in private en-
ployment-the eight-hour day-which
is not in effect in government employ
ment."
