THE PEASANTS OF AMERICA

THE PEASANTS OF AMERICA
As the facts develop in the East
Youngstown, O., strike ioting, when
the town was partially burned, we
find that the problem of immigration
was to large degree behind it all.
For thirty years the large manu-
facturers of this country have acted
as if immigrants were an important
department of their business. The
more workers arriving every year
the more men standing outside their
gates every morning waiting for any
old job at any old wages-the better
the big employers liked it. 1t meant
plenty of hands at low cost for the
hard, laborious, unskilled work. This
in turn meant plenty of recruits anx-
ious to learn the skilled work. Thus
the cost of common labor was kept
down and quiet maintained among
skilled workers by the spectacle of
more, and yet more, ready to jump
into their jobs.
In every industrial locality there
grew up settlements" of uneducat-
ed, unframed strangers peasants
from the backward farm sections of
backward south European countries.
Did the manufacturers have any
thought for the welfare of these un-
trained people?
Did the big employers take steps
to educate them or their children?
Did the fellows who capitalize i'm
migration into big profits do anything
to teach these strange-tongued peas
ants the American language or en-

and American laws?
Not one bit of it! They were per-
fectIy willing to let them huddIe mis-
erably in their settlements where
they learned nothing about the coun-
try of their adoption. The big en-
ployer wanted doWn-trodden peas
ants to remain down-trodden and ig-
norant, thinking the thoughts and IiV-
ing the life of the European back
woods.
There were profits in it-big profits.
!: But these employers forgot the law
that action is followed by reaction.
The immigrant always wakes up. He
sees better life about him, he hears of
better wages, he learns that his labor
is worth more.
So it was at East Youngstown.
The peasant laborers in this steel mill
heard that other steel mills were adj
Yancing pay. Moreover, they learn
ed that the company's stock had
nearly doubled in value, plain enough
proof to the most untaught that pro-
fits were huge. And yet the company
refused a little increase in wages.
This meant rank injustice to them.
They were uneducated. Their in
.teligence was low. Law and order
were indefinite things to them Hud-
ding together in undisciplined
masses there was nothing and no
body to temper the wild and wilder
discussion of men who felt that they

Speed OF PACKARD
TRUCKS GOVERNED
Company Placed Automatic Governors
on Machines in 1907, Says Sam
uel A. Luttrell.

With extraordinary efforts being made
by city officials and citizens in all parts
of the country to reduce the number of
street and traffic accidents, there has
come considerable agitation for a more
strict regula tion of motor vehicle opera
ton. Several newspapers and civilians
claim TO have discovered a remedy for
a large majority OF the accidents by de-
manding that all motor trucks be equip
ped with automatic governors to limit
their speed. The Packard Motor Car
Company, as pointed out by Samuel A.
Luttrell. of the LuttreIl company. saw
the necessity for such a precaution away
back in 1907. when the first Packard mo-
tor truck was produced and has since
watched the motor governor control dem
onstrate its wonderful value as a safety
first device.
Packard motor trucks have always
been equipped with automatic speed gov
ernors and their owners have found
them highly desirable in many ways"
says Mr.. Luttrell. They provide an im-
portant economic device, as regards the
life of the truck, by preventing speeding
and consequent excessive wear and tear.
They positively eliminate truck acci-
dents, which could result from exces-
sive speed alone. Our heavy duty trucks
are limited, by a motor governor, to a
maximum speed of twelve miles per
hour. This governed speed. with our un-
usually efficient brakes, makes 1t possi-
BILE to stop the truck within it's own
length. This control makes it easy for
even the inefficient driver to handle his
truck safely and easily in all emergen-
cies.
Packard truck governors have given
perfect satisfaction and superior service
in the hands of thousands of drivers Of
widely varying degrees of skill. We feel
that they are a necessity as a safeguard
for the delicate parts of the machine
and absolutely essential as a safety
first device. We are heartily in favor
of having every truck automatically.
and thus positively, governed, as a meas
ure of protection for the public"

Half soleing automobile tires may
sound ridiculous but that is what is
being done. Two old tires, the car
casses of which are still in good shape
but which have had the thread either
worn of or badly torn, are taken. One
is stripped of what thread still re-
mains. From the other the bead is
cut and then this semi-case or half
sole is first cemented to the bare case
and then put on a stitching machine
and the two castings sewed together,
making one good outer shoe.

New York, Jan. 1.-The sixteenth an
nuaI Automobile Show opened here in
the Grand Central Palace in this, the sec
ond year Of the great world war, with
Henry Ford abroad" and practically all
the other automobile manufacturers in
the United States "a-Broadway."
In size, exhibits, and attendance the 1916
show bids fair to far outstrip all others.
On every hand, only the most prosperous
OF prosperity" Stories are heard among
the factory officials in this, the youngest
Of the worlds greatest Industries. Four
full floors of the mammoth Grand Cen
tral Palace are required to make the dis
play. All decorations and signs are uni
form. More than 60 cars and necessary
manufacturers are represented.
Two salient features predominate at
this years show. First. a bumper crop
OF rumors concerning amalgamstions,
mergers, and comoinst tions, OF all sizes
and kinds 1t keeps John n. Willys and
other prominent manufacturers busy de-
nying rumors. The other pertinent fea-
ture Is the consuming interest manifested
by manufacturers, dealers. and car own
crs in the past seasons marvellous devel-
opment in multi-cylinder engines.
snow
While all Of the improvements are net
confined to motors (there being many
other marked changes for the betterl,
yet the more popular features are the
six, eight and twelve cylinder motors.
With Packard and National setting an
example by introducing 'tvelve-cylinder
cars. and with several others joining the
ranks. this type of motor bids fair to
monopoliZe a large percentage OF the
shows attention. To be sure, there are
such things as cantileyer springs, all
kinds OF new body designs (sone of them
which makes the passengers look like
they were 'in the trenches'O, magnetic
gear shifts and the like, yet the battle
of words between the statesmen largely
centers around the advantages of the
various types of multi-cyiinder engines.
1t Is the opinion that never in the his
tory of the industry has such universal
interest and enthusiasm been manifested
by both the exhibitors and the visitors.
Every year II has been predicted that
the end OF the automobile shows has at
last arrived. but every succeeding year
the actual facts give the lie direct to
this prediction. The New York show
has become an institution-the clearing
house of this great industry's idea, and
the greatest convention of any business
held in America.
The principal change that marks these
shows Is the absence today of general
frivolity which, at one time, characterized
the annual motor car conclaves Today II
is more of a dignifed and efficient con-
vention, with serious-minded men, with
grave responsibilities, working from 9
O'Clock in the morning until II o'clock at
night; with engineers going through the
hardest school course of their lives, and
with the public paying admission In
greater numbers than ever before.

At least once a year. or every 60ot
miles. the engine fabrication system
should be cleaned out. and this is best
done when the cylinders are taken of
for the removal of carbon deposit. With
the cylinders off. the crank chamber can
be well washed out with kerosene. Many
drivers omit this annual cleaning, but
If they could see the amount of solid
matter contained in the old oil they would
be surprised.
Not only is this largely composed OF
bearing metal and dust. but also of car

and falls into the crank chamber. This
solid material is not only detrimental to
the bearings, but 1t is liable to choke

WHY THE AUTOMOBILE
NOW Is A NECESSITY

The motor car is' the steed of
the present century.
1t is power and speed har-
messed to the will of man.
1t puts speed without hurry
into everyday life.
1t Is a sound investment that
pays dividends in time saved.
1t is. a better tonic than any
prescription.
1t is the best health insurance
you can carry.
1t ranks with the telephone
and telegraph as a utility.
Il is an asset to the family
welfare.
It is the most popular source
of recreation.
1t is a positive necessity to
thousands of users.

q. S. Dons Prophets Mantle.

When department of the United States
government dons the mantle of the
prophet, II usually does so on pretty
firmly substantial ground. The Depart
ment of Commerce predicts that the ex-
port trade in motor cars for the calendar
year of 1915 will pass the sl2o, 900, 900 mark.
Indeed all the evidence at hand makes
it probable that completes cessation of
foreign shipments now, would still leave
American makers with hundred millions
of over seas business for the year For
the fiscal year ending June 90, 1915. we
sold abroad more than ,s74,oOOooO worth

such sales since makes the s12a,ooO, 600

the clearing of such lands, was de-
Heated in 1914 for lack of interest

the passage of the amendment. The
forestry amendment had such an ef-

only one to be adopted out of the
eleven amendments offered.
Amendment No. 1 is so obviously
benefcient and helpful that all it re-

voters know it's merits: It means
that two million acres of undeveloped

the state, are to be opened, improved

be increased.
