The Illinois Manufacturers assn

terday in Judge Wells courtroom.
1t was one of that kind of WalIops
that the big bossesin the business
world like to dodge. 1t dealt with rank
violations of proper treatment to men,
women and little children. 1t handed
a Observation-Disclosures nasty
slap at four employers who belong to
the Illinois Manufacturers assn.
The Central Bag Co. at 1545 w.

the present time is making burIap
bags for the allies. And therein lies
the main reason, probably, for the
violations on which the fine resulted.
Our perfectly good child labor law
calls for an eight-hour day for mere
children. The Women's law calls for
a ten-hour day. This bag company
had their own laws, evidently. Those
of the gentIer sex who had not yet
reached womanhood had been toiIing
ten hours per day and the women
folks plugged away for ten and half
hours.
This law violation game has got all

plot against human nature against

is a plot against mothers who should
be home tending to their flock. The
little old half hour that the violation
fine comes for is far better spent at
home than at any factory.

wonder stOry Of the AutomObile.

The rise of the automobile business in the
United States IS the most remarkable industrial
development OF our time. Considered in its
main aspects OF invested capital, manufactur-
ing. salesmanshlp, pleasure-giving and general
utility, the claim is not overstated. It has
grown in popular favor far more rapidly than
the telephone, and rivalled the moving picture
business in speed of conquest.
Twenty-Five years ago the steam automobile
was as much Of a curiosity as the telephone was
ten years previous, Ungainly in appearance
and clumsy in build, II attracted little attention
and was swamped in the prevailing bicycle
craze. AS the latter died away the automobile
equipped with the gas motor, rose to its oppor-
tunity and presently compelled public attention
by It's merits and possibilities Even as late as
1903 only 1900 automobiles were produced
IL this country. Last year S92,61S cars and
trucks were manufactured in the United States.
and the proceeds from sales aggregated $691,-
77s,00O.
While the industry is rated to have begun in
1895, It's real forward movement is embraced
within ten years, and the actual boom began
with the Standardization OF machine parts in
1910. The magnitude Of the business now taxes
the resources Of 7O5 factories s7.7oO sale shops,
supply stores and repair shops consumes 9Oo.-
100000 gallons OF oil and 100000 rubber
tires annually. Not only is the United States
the largest producer of automobiles; IL is the
largest consumer. having a total Of 100000
cars In use. or a per cent of the worlds total.
or this number 5s.14o are registered in Ne
brasks.
The potential factors in this wonder story
OF development are three in number: High
quality OF cars. salesmanship and advertising
an invincible triple alliance. as results show.
