THE PRICE OF PEACE

"fIowever, on September 4, two days
after the Adamson eight-hour law had
been enacted and the danger of strike
had passed, Candidate Hughes assailed
the method by which the catastrophe
was averted. Repeatedly thereafter, he
continued this form of speech.
Mr.. Hughes wants the people of the
United States to forget the dread II
which they stood when they faced the
fact that the most widespread labor wal
in the history of the United States had
been ordered to begin the morning OF
September 4.
THE maximum estimated cost to the
railroads of applying the eght-hour day
is $50. 100000 a year. Why doesn't Mr.
Hughes in assailing the methods come
out with the fact that general railway
strike would have cost the railroads ant
the people of the United States $50,
900 eco a day?'

BITTER AGAINST HUGHES

Charles CD Hughes has qualified as
the nations leading expert in the art of
how to prevent wars. strikes. etc. after
they have been prevented.
"Of President Wilson's success in
avoiding war with Germany over the
submarine issue, Hughes has said that
some other course-just what course not
stated-would have served equally we'll.
So, too, he now says, of the great rail-
way strike.
I'm the face of the united testimony
of the heads of the railway brother
hoods and the railway managers and
presidents to the contrary, Charles (O
Hughes gravely announced in his Maine
speeches that the strike would have
been avoided had the Adamson eight
hour law not been passed. This is one
of the numerous Hughes prophecies
after the event.
prior to the settlement of the railroad
strike, Candidate Hughes said nothing
of the controversy between the 400,0Ot
railway trainmen and the railway mana
gers of the United States. Though the
! chosen leader of a great political party
he neither said nor did anything to helI
prevent the catastrophe to the prosperity
of the country which the strike would
have caused

AUTOMOBILE AGENTS
MEET At DETROIT
Orders Now ON Hand Guarantee
Big Season, Say the
. Managers.

That the present unprecedented
demand for iautmobiles will continue
throughout the year instead Of show
ing the customary slack during the
summer and late fall months was
the message brought by Studebaker
branch managers who attended the
semi-annual branch managers cOnven-
ton of the Studebaker Corporation
Just ended in Detroit. The predic-
tons made by the branch managers
were based on study of conditions
in their territories. Heads of branch
es in all parts of the country were
present at the sessions during the
week, as were also the assistant
branch managers, district managers
and retail sales managers.
Orders now on hand the nations
prosperity, and the fast swelling
ranks of people who recognize the
motor car as utility and, in many
cases, necessity rather than an ex-
pensive luxury-these were given as
the chief reasons for the prospect of
a continuing demand of even larger
proportion than ever before known.
This Studebaker convention was an
interesting departure from the usual
conclave of it's type. 1t was not
gathering to discuss ways and means
of disposing of cars. President A. r.
Erskine in his address of welcome
to the visiting delegation said: "Nev-
er before in the history of our bust
ness has a branch managers conven-
ton been held under happier or more
promising circumstances"
According to J. G. Heaslet, vice
president in charge of engineering
and production, factory additions and
engagements Of facilities will soon
make possible normal output of
5000 Studebaker cars month, and a
forced output of 10000. July 1, de-
spite the materials situation, it was
announced, will show shipments for
the preceding II months of more than
$4,000 cars, which is approximately
double the best previous year.

Indications are that the number OF
motorists travelling over the highway
beWeen the Great Lakes and the Pa
cific Ocean will be much larger tvs
year than when it reached 5000 for
the two directions. Every hundred
miles further west shows a proper.
tionate reduction in the number Of

The most careful touring informa.
ton is being compelled along the
route with a view to publishing a
booklet at the close of the tour, which
will make it possible for the tourist

asking question as to directions or
road conditions Of anyone along the
way. Such information it has this
early become apparent will not be
complete without word on hotels
which can be recommended to the
traveller.
1t is the purpose of the National
Parks Highway Association to take
steps soon for continuous and dis
tinctive marking for the route so
that the traveller will not have to de-
pend on advertising signs and the
marks Of itinerary trail painters. The
trip will end at Tacoma, Washington,
on July Z, at the clase of 33-days'
schedule from Chicago, on which 40
good roads meetings will have been
held. In the party, which is travel

All along the way the National
Parks Highway touring party has
been asked by highway officials and
motor clubs to point out the unsatis-
factory parts of the road, which it
has been possible to do on account OF
the accurate record kept OF road con-
ditions and road materials on every
mile since the party left Chicago.
Only a few minor changes have
been found necessary in the route,
although it has been necessary to give
notice to local authorities in few IN
stances that changes will be made
unless favorable roads are improved!
Everywhere along the line, however,
interest has been manifested in the
results Of this tour and advice asked
