the output was 1896 cars, and for the
entire month the aggregate produc-
ton was 83,6l6 cars-and still the de-
mand for this popular motor car con-
tinues far ahead of production Ger

Makes Two Days Trip

The distance from Binghamton, N.
Y. to New York City is ordinarily re-
garded by New York state motorists
as good days run for passenger
automobile. Yet S. H. Lewis of Bng-
hamton did the extraordinary by driv-
ing more than twice that distance in
single day; eating breakfast at his
home, lunch at New York, and supper
at his home again.
He personally drove Series 9,
Franklin touring car TO New York
and return, 1913 miles, in twelve hours
and forty-eight minutes and with an
average OF 30.2 miles per hour. And
in spite of this fast touring speed, he
was able to establish consumption
average OF 1865 miles to the gallon.

The car was made to do some high

about twenty miles an hour, at which
pace the motor shows its highest ef-

CONTRASTING THE PATRIOTISM OF
RAILROAD OWNERS AND EMPLOYEES

corporations and their allied financial
forces are profiting by a national
emergency"
This has to be said in order that
the truth may be recorded of this
mighty victory for labor and for
labor organization which makes such
victories possible. Everybody knows
that without the organization of
workers into their mighty crafts
such victories for right and justice
could never be won.
With this victory being won with
out the help of legislation and of
the courts (as it was,) it makes
comparatively little difference for
this time what the Supreme Court
has decided or what any justice of
the Court has written concerning
the power of Congress to compel
arbitration, or to prevent men from
quitting their work, or to fix wages
at which men must work whether
they wish to work or not. If this
means that Congress has the power
to make this an autocratic govern
ment and to treat the workers as if
they were public enemies and had
to be put in chain gang, still there
is very little danger that Congress
will exercise such power Congress
might pass many laws which the
conscience of the nation and the
power of the people will not permit
it to pass.
However important the Supreme
Courts decision may be for the
future and for other issues, it serves
chiefly in this case to emphasize
the particularly great service of the
Brotherhoods' fight and victory. They
have put great economic issue on
the basis of liberty and freedom.
They have shown that workers can
be most efficient and most service
able to their country when they are
free and when they work voluntarily
not because they cannot quit their
jobs. They have pointed the way
along which this nation should 90
at this especial juncture-in legis-
lation and in governmental and in
dustrial direction. The way is the
way of free workers. in a democratic
republic, and if the worst comes
to the worst, of free fighters for a
democratic republic. Against the de-
mands of profit-making and unpa-
trlotic patriots who are demanding"
conscription and compulsion and con-
stabularies and censorship, the Rail
road Brotherhoods, representing in
the struggle they have won the or
ganized labor movement of America.
have set an example of free citizen
ship and of unconstrained patriotism

"The speaker also declared that
labor has right to organize, but of
what use is organization unless it

NEW YORK, April 1.-Believing,
as they declare, that this is a time
of great national peril, the patriotic
railroads come forward with a de-
mand that they be permitted to in
crease their freight rates. Some of
them are so excessively patriotic
that they are proposing to take 20
per cent raise ESTIMATED to mean
an extra 500 million dollars) out of
the peoples pockets. As they profess
to be the only simon pure patriots
in the country, they probably figure
that if they take away from the peo-
pie about all the wealth that the
people have got, the people will not
mind being forced into the trenches
to save the financiers' loved country.
There is "a fly in the ointment"
however, for this peculiar patriotism
of the railroads. The people happen
to be genuinely patriotic. They are
not looking for profits for them
selves, and they are not patiently
going to permit spurious patriots"
to add new profits to old profits in
a time of national stress. They
love their country with such genuine
love that they are going to have it
all theirs and not have it taken
over in special privilege by a home
talent group who could give any
European army cards and spades and
still beat it at the pleasant game
of occupying the country and taking
its wealth.
The people are asking questions.
Because the railroads have Just been
forced to give their workers the right
working day of eight hours, and be-
cause it will cost them something
extra if they do not run their trains
by that standard, why should the
people be forced to add to the en-
ormous profits the railroads have
been making? Why cannot the
public service of transportation pro-
vide decent hours and wages for its
workers without thus affording a
pretext for taking more money away
from the people?

(By Dante Barton)

NEW YORK, Apr. THE Railroad
Brotherhoods won their fight for the
eight hour day before the Supreme
Court rendered it's decision uphold
ing the Adamson Act. This completes
the record which the Brotherhoods
have kept clear by conducting and
winning their demands entirely by
their economic power and entirely
outside of the field of legislation and
of judicial action.
The Supreme Courts action, like
the action of the President and like
the action of Congress, simply con-
firms the wisdom and righteousness
of the BrotherhOods' demands.
AS the chief executives of the
Brotherhoods have pointed out, they
did not ask either the President or
Congress or the courts to act. Out of
respect to the Presidents friendly at
titude toward them, they Withheld the
exercise of their power to enforce
demands which, as the President de-
clared, "the conscience of the nation
approved" They Withheld the exer-
else of that power till the very last
minute to which their patience and
their duty to their fellow workers
would permit them to withhold it.
Then they set the ultimate time for
the exercise of their lawful economic
power, and the railroad employers
necessarily gave in.
The Committee on Industrial Rela-
tions telegraphed the Brotherhood
chiefs as follows.
Congratulations to you and
| through you to the country for YOUR
victory and for the splendidly cour-
ageous and patient methods by which
you won it. In conjunction with
President Wilson you have establish
ed the eight-hour day in an impreg-
nable position for all workers. You
have vindicated the action of Con-
gress and sustained the voice of the
people. True patriotism and true
national efficiency and industrial JUS
tice have been upheld through your
efforts"
In period which they themselves
have described as time of national
peril, the railroad managers and the
| financial interests back of them had
disregarded the national conscience. "
They had trifled with a law enacted
by the Congress at the urgent re-
quest of the President. They had
sought to paralyze the arm of the
railroad brotherhoods by putting off
indefinitely a settlement of the is
sues between them and at the same
time by aligning themselves with the
financial forces and other forces that
were trying to hasten the country
into war. In the confusion and dis
traction of war they counted on the
workers proved and traditional self
sacrifice to forego the fruits of their
long and patient contest.
These corporations had the almost
Incredible nerve to make the plea
of patriotism" to the workers in the
face of the fact that now, as always,
it is the workers (on railroads and
in mines and elsewhere) who carry
the patriotic burdens in war and in
peace. They made that plea too,
in the face of the other fact that now,
more than ever before, the railroad
