REAL CRUx OF PROBLEM

REAL ShOA OF ThODLEN
 The mileage system of compensation, the basis of which is the number of miles traversed by a train crew, and not the actual hours of work, is the crux of the new problem that railroad authority said may result in the development of a situation similar to the one which brought into being the Adamson jaw.
 Frankly" said Chairman Lee of the conference committee, the trouble lies in the fact that neither the railroads nor the men know definitely how the law should be applied.
 we have our own ideas as to how the law shall be applied-if at all, as suits to test it's validity are now pending while the brotherhoods have their own ideas
 Chairman Lee added that he could not predict the probable outcome of the diff ficulty. He said, however, that negotiaa- tions might be resumed by calling an- other conference. This possibility was strengthened by the announcement of the brotherhood chiefs that they, with the ex- ception of President Lee of the rrain- mems organization, proposed to remain here for several. days. President Lee left for his home in Cleveland tonight He said it was his intention to join his con ferees in Washington Monday where they will go to attend the opening session of the Newlands Investigating committee.
 Besides William G. Lee, the brother hood chiefs at the conference. were War ren S. Stone of the Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers; w. S. Carter, Brother hood chiefs at the conference were War men, and D. L. Sheppard, acting president of the Order of Railroad Conductors in the absence of MT Garretson, who Is on an extended vacation.

THE COMMON LAW

 Tonight at the Rialto the first performance of "The Common Law" will be given. To say that the picture will be run off to a capacity house isn't merely pre- diction. It's rather an advance statement of facts
 Because;
 "rhe Common Law" is being shown in Birmingham for the first time, and
 Because:
 Birmingham movie fans never miss an opportunity to see all the first releases, and further
 Because:
 Clara Kimball Young, who holds a high place in the hearts of local moving picture patrons, is starred in the play.
 It seems foolish to take up space that way when you're only allotted so much for each play, doesn't it? So we'll compromise and make the last few lines really worth something. But 1t wouldn't be pos sible to make them worth what Clara Kimball Young must nec- essarily be worth when starred in The Common Law" If you know Miss Young, and of course you do; and if you've read "The Common law" and of course you have, well, that's all that's necessary except to say that the picture will be shown six days.

NATIONWIDE STRIKE
 AGAIN THREATENED

(Continued from Page One) suits to determine the constitutionalitS of the law.'
The Glasgow courier., 1916-12-01

Wyoming, with general Offices at
Billings, Montana in an interview
with representative of the Herald
stated his company would at an early
date, have to advance the present
low prices of Studebaker fours and
skies. In fact, he has already re-
ceived notice of an advance of $500
to $4,000 per car.
Mr.. Stevenson expressed the hope
that this would be the only increase
necessary for some time, but has the
fear that it is only the beginning of
greater increases that may have to
be made before great many months,
if present conditions as to supplies
and prices of high grade materials
continue. He called attention to the
fact that Studebakers are now selling
for hundreds of dollars less than be-
fore the war began, while materials
and labor, Of many kinds, have doubl-
ed and trebled in cost.
"Most other good cars are selling
for more now than before the war
times. But steady increase in pro-
duction, coupled with tremendous i'm
provement in Studebaker manufacture
ing facilities and methods until we
are now leaders over all ether fac
tories Of the kind in America, have
enabled US to not only add more and
more to the value of our cars, but al
so to lower and keep down prices
up to this time. But not, very soon
probably within thirty days-our
prices will be advanced.
"The advance will be as moderate
as the unusual circumstances permit
as it is Studebaker's permanent
policy to give the buyer every dollars
worth of value possible-but we CAM
keep prices where they are now a;
much as Studebaker would like to d
+ 50. in face Of present conditions
which very likely will continue fol
a good while to come. You probabl!
will not have chance again to bu!
good car for so little money as yo,
ran within the next few weeks befor
our prices go up"
, Mr.. Stevenson stated that dealer
= were all being advised to take n
orders for later delivery at presen
prices, unless the dealer happened t
have the car already on hand an
could take deposit and set it asid
for the buyer.
