Further evidence of Studebaker de-
peqdability is shown by the popularity of
Studebakcr cars in California, where
people test and prove their cars by con-
tinuous service every day in the year and
where there arc more Studebakers regis
tered than any car selling at over $500.
In Detroit where 80% of all cars
are made, where thousands of people are
directly connected with the industry,
where they know the materials and work
manship that 60 into cars and the organ
izations behind them there are more
Studcbakers registered than any other
car selling at over $500.
The foregoing is proof that people
who know cars from service rendered and
people best equipped to judge automobile
values prefer Sudebakes.
There could be no better guide than
this for you in purchasing your car.
More than 100000 Studebaker cars
in every part of the world have made
good in the hands of their owners-as
yours will make good for you.

The sturdy quality, the splendid value,
the proven dependability and durability
OF the present models will be continued.
Studebaker daily sales continue to
show that the public is quick to recognize,
and always to give its support to an honest,
we'll made product, the value and service
of which have been proven in actual per

Their power, their easy riding fea-
lures, their freedom from trouble have
made Studebaker cars leaders in every
part of the country where automobiles
are subjected to the hardest USE
The most recent proof of their dura
bility is the performance of two Stude-
baker cars taken directly from a dealers
stock on the trip Of the San Francisco Ad

Both these Studebaker cars came over

crease For All Printers.
Especial cOrrespondenceJ

Ogden, Utah, April 3O.-Typograph-
ical Union No. 236, after being dead
locked for several weeks, has reached
an agreement and signed four-year
contracts with the Morning Examiner
and the Evening Standard.
The new newspaper scale, effective
May. 1, calls for an increase of rs
cents per shift, or $3.50 per week, for
all hand men, and for the first time
since linotype machines have been
in use in this city, the union secures
an all-time basis on such machines.
The scale provides that all journey
men employed on evening papers re-
ceive not less'than $5 per shift, or
$50 per week, and all journeymen en-
ployed on morning papers shall re-
ceive not less than $3.50 per shift, or
S33 per week. The eight-hour day
prevails.
If an evening paper publishes a
Sunday morning edition, the second
more than seven hours at $3.50 (the
regular night scale.)
In addition apprentice rules and
scale, sanitary regulations and other
provisions were secured that are a
decided forward step.
Local individual American News
paper association agreements have
been signed with the Standard, a MEM
ber of the Publishers association.
Also agreements have been made
with the nine book and job offices and
trade composition shops of the city,
giving all foremen and journeymen an
immediate increase of so cents per
day, or SO per week. Provision is
also made for Saturday half holiday.
Sanitary regulations, apprentice rules
and scale that calls for up to rs per
cent of journeymen's pay for the last
six months of five-year apprentice
ship, and other conditions were gained.
The new job scale calls for not less
than $24 per week for journeymen and
S27 for foremen. Linotype operators
in job or trade shops are to receive
S. for day work and $3.50 for night
work, with 25 cents per day additional
for each machine in their charge. All
work on time basis.
Frank j. Pulver of Denver, /. T. U.
representative, at the request of No.
236, assisted in the negotiations and
closed up the contracts for the local
union.
The international Pressmen's Union
has recently formed local here, and
an Allied Printing Trades Council has
been organized. The pressmen have
presented new scale to employers,
effective May 1, and when signed the
Typographical Union label will be
withdrawn and label contracts nego-
tiated covering the use of the Allied

CHARTER CHANGES
LABORERS, FIREMEN AND PO-
LICE WANT MORE PAY.
Every Member of Organized Labor
Should Support These Amend
ments and Vote Against Jokes.

There are two proposed charter
city election, Tuesday, May Is, which
should have the unqualified support
of every wage-earner in Denver, as
well as other citizens who believe in
ian honest days pay for an honest
days work" One will increase the
monthly pay for city firemen and
policemen who now receive less than
81 300 annually to the extent of $15
per month, or $3.50 for the twelve
months. This amendment will ap-
pear as No. / on the ballot.
This week and next committees of
the firemen and policemen are appear
ing before all the labor organizations
asking that their amendment be sup
ported, and are meeting with unani-
nous approval. Policemen and fire.
mems pay is fixed in the city charter,
and the proposed amendment by a
majority vote of the qualified cleo
tors is the only way they can secure
more pay to meet war prices for nee
essaries of life.
The other amendment proposed to
raise the daily schedule of pay from
$5 to Sc for man and team, and labor
ers from $3.50 to SO for those en-
ployed in the street and park depart
ments. This amendment was made
necessary because the city council re.
fused to pass an ordinance introduced
by Councilman Spacey granting this
reasonable and just increase. This
amendment will appear as No. on
the ballot.
Mayor Speer has initiated an amend
ment which proposes to authorize the
city council to raise wages of all city
employees" The city council now has
this right except in case of firemen
and policemen, but refuses to exercise
it. This joker amendment, which only
seeks to deprive city employees getting
an increase thru direct vote of the
people, should be defeated. 1t will
serve no purpose other than to de-
prive those who had sufficient back
bone to demand living wage from
securing more pay.
