Willys-Knight Appeals
to Royalty of Europe

For the second time within a period
of three months, King Alfonso XIII
of Spain, has shown his preference for
American built automobiles by pur-
chasing his second WHY'S Knight tour

pany of Toledo. Ohio. This latest or

How One of First Races
Developed Auto Factory

This is the story of "the man who
did not laugh revealed by a close
associate of the late Thomas 3. Jeffery,
founder of the great firm at Kenosha,
Wis.
The first time Mr.. Jeffery set eyes
on "horseless buggy was in the
winter of 1896. lie was one Of the
spectators of the famous and now
absurd automobile race" over Chi
cago's boulevard system, in which sew
eral crude types of gas and electric
cards competed under the auspices of
a Chicago newspaper. The distance
was completely covered only by two
of the entries, and the whole day was
assumed in the snails pace contest.
Mr.. Jeffery, then bicycle manu-
faCturer, residing on the North Side,
witnessed the "horeless buggies" chug
past in company with his sons Charles
T., and Harold, who are now respect
lively president and president of
the Thomas b. Jeffery Company. Most
of the spectators walked part of the
distance and easily kept pace with the
struggling, coughing devil wagons"
II was a merry crowd. 1t hooted
and jeered, and shouted sarcastic ad-
vice to the drivers and helpers. Mr.
Jeffery, it is related, looked on and
did not even smile. He followed the
cars on foot for several blocks, and his
eyes took in everything visible. Then
he went home-and thought.
That race" it is related, was the
Ignition spark" which eventually de-
veloped into one of the greatest motor
car factories in the world. In 1900,
when the Jeffery factory was estab-
lished in Kenosha. its plant covered
one-half an acre. To-day it is con-
centrated on 101 acres, twenty-six of
which are covered by buildings.
The two sons of Thomas B. Jeffery
may now smile in satisfaction over
the marvellous progress achieved,
which is evidenced, for one thing, by
the fact that 1000 additional en-
ployes were engaged last winter-the
Ud1lllu seasnn

with our output running any
where from eight hundred to a thou
sahd trucks month, we simply could
not wait for the railroads to furnish
us with rolling stock.
1T is our intention to use these new
cars for shipping to our largest deal

public Motor Truck Co., will have its
own equipment in constant use be-
tween such cities as New York Bos-
ton, Chicago, Kansas City, Portland

Republic Truck Factory
to Build Freight Cars

To combat the present freight car
shortage, so keenly felt by automobile
manufacturers, F. w: Ruggtes, gem
eral manager of the Republic Motor
Truck Co., whose plant is located at
Alma, Michigan, has placed a large
order for private freight cars capable
of carrying from two to four of their
largest trucks at a load.
I'VE simply had TO do it," said Mr..
Ruggles when interviewed recently.

Well, that is exactly what I want
to know now. The public will have
to pay this bill; the increase in wages
won't come out of nothing Some
body will pay it. It may be the stock
holders. it may be the shippers. il
may be the general public. Now il
may be right that either the shippers,
the stockholders or the general pub
bic shall pay; but, it may be wrong
I hope it is right and hope the right
people pay. but it is the duty of this
government not to hope to know what
the facts are before it submits to the
passage of any legislation.
Isn't that clear and straight?
don't see how it can be made any
clearer and straighter- I have seen
a protest on behalf OF the farmers
against this bill, passed by the Farm
ers' Union This protest says the
farmers favor an eight-hour day for
labor whenever it can be put into eff
feet without increasing the burdens
of the producers or consumers beyond
the benefits that they receive 1t
was pointed out that the farmer now
works about twelve hours a day and
that he wants to be sure he does not
have to pay for increasing the wages
of the trainmen through an increase
of freight rates or in the price of
the articles he buys, unless the
equities of the situation demand it,

investigation to find out whether the
hours of work and the compensation
received by the railroad men compare
unfavorably with that of the farmer.
whether the farmer is financially abs
to withstand his proportion of the
burden of the increase. In fact, the
farmers want to know the facts be-
fore Sanctioning a law which may
gravely compromise their interests
Il wish to see wages everywhere
just as high as possible, provided the
raise is compatible with justice to
all of the parties vitality concerned /
wish to see the eight-hour day as
the ideal toward which we should
arrive, but many considerations must
enter into our decision as to how this
ideal is to be achieved, 1t is both
simple and just to give an eight-hour
day in many branches of industries
where there is heavy work, like min
ing, for instance, or in continuous
industries, or where the work is ex-
hausting and monotonous. There
are other kinds of labor where the
work is varied and not exhausting, or
where the excessive work on certain
days is followed by other DAYS or
complete or comparative rest. Thirty
years ago, for instance, 1 worked in
the COW country, and 1 sometimes
was among those who came in on
stock trains. either here in Chicago
or to Minneapolis.
Sometimes for hours we had
nothing to do; and sometimes we
had to work all day or all night. We
had come off the roundup, where we
usually had to work twelve to sixteen
hours at a stretch and where once
1 worked a forty-one hour stretch
without sleep or any more rest than
necessary and eating very hur-
ried meals: but there were other
times when for days we did little
or nothing. Now it would be abso-
1utely absurd to try to apply an
eight-hour day to us under those cons
ditions. We must strive TO achieve
justice; but We must do it by the ex-
hibition of common sense"
