AMERICAN LABOR
GREETS ITALIANS
United States Delegates Send Message
to Workers Of Our Ally Through
Paris Meeting.

A remarkably favorable impression
has been made on the workers of
Italy by recent addresses in Paris by
Messrs. Wilson and Fry OF the Ameri-
can labor commission. The addresses
were delivered before a delegation OF
Italian workmen. In the course of
his speech, Mr.. Wilson said.
I'VE desire to express to our italian
brothers the sympathy Of the workers
Of America and our appre citation OF
the tremendous services of Italy to
the allied cause and the sacrifices In
its behalf made by both the army OF
com bat and the army of labor. The
interests of working men in all coun-
tries are our interests. We are de-
termined to give them all the aid pos
sible and to assist them in every feas-
ible way with the united backing of
our organization. This is the unani
nous desire of American labor. To
American working men Italy repre-
sents the epitome of the history OF
the civilization that must be main
tanned and defended against Teutonic
We have a profound faith I'm
the belief that democracy will be vic
torious against Teutonic autocracy

LITTLE GIANT TRUCK
FOR LONG HAULING.
Fisher Transfer Company Purchases
Machine From Owens Motor for
Distance Work.

Long distance hauling by motor
trucks is to be feature of the trans
fer companies of Richmond as indi-
Gated In reports heard during the past
week. The Fisher Transfer company
has had many inquiries relative to
hauling freight between this city and
Baltimore and Washington and also
to North Carolina points and take
care of this business the company has
just purchased n Little Giant truck
from the Owens Motor company. Dur
ing the past week heavy loads of fur
niture were transported to Louisa
county and also to Hopewell.
The Little Giant truck was selected
by the Lincoln highway commission
in making test trip across the con-
Francisco The truck carried the bag
gage of the entire party and kept
up with the touring cars on the 1000
mile Journey. Knowing these facts.
Mr.. Fisher selected the Little Giant
to use in his long distance hauling.
Driven from Washington. three
and n half ton capacity Little Giant
truck reached Richmond yesterday
loaded with a two-ton truck. The
running time from Washington was
eight hours. The big truck with its
heavy burden attracted considerable
attention when It arrived at the sales
rooms of the Owens Motar company

TR|PLE-REATIAG Of
THE GAS IS LIKED
Feature of Fulton Motor Truck Fast
Making Car Popular Among
business Firms.

Getting every ounce OF energy out
OF the fuel is the aim OF every truck
engineer, driver and operator In these
days. when ounces count. Various
devices have been tried for reduc-
ing fuel consumption and eliminat-
Ing waste. and one inventor has gone
so far as to compound a chemical
which he claims will Increase fuel
mileage when added to the gasoline
in the tank Few of these devices,
however, have met with as great sue
cess as the motors which superheat
their gas before 1t passes into the
combustion chamber
On the Fulton motor truck the gas
is heated three times before 1t
reaches the intake valve. In the first
place, the air is heated by passing
through a. stove before 1t enters the
carburetor This stove is kept hot
by the exhaust pipe to which It is at
tached. The air. thus heated, passes
into the carhUretor and serves further
to vaporize the globules of gasoline
which have been broken up in the
spray. This gas mixture is then con-
Quoted through a cylinder-block
channel between the hot cylinders to
the opposite sice OF the motor
In this second heating, the gasoline
ts still further vaporized. Any par
ticles of fuel that may yet remain
unmixed with the air are dashed
against the hot spot of an exhaust
contact manifold. and thus vaporized
in third heating. When the gas
goes into the cylinder 1t lis a thorough
and highly com bustible mixture.
The result is power and the great
est possible efficiency In the con-
sumption of fuel There is no waste
gasoline and particles of kerosene or
other low grades Of fuel are not de-
posted in the cylinder. Careful tests
show that the Fulton with / Ia ton
load, will consistently give twelve to
fourteen miles on a gallon of gaso-
line.
William Fulton Melhuish. presi-
dent of the Fulton organization, has
long been known in the manufacture
and operation of motor trucks for his
conservatism and strict adherence to
usual time-tested practice. and II was
only after years OF road demonstra-
ton that he would permit the Full
ton engineers to standardize on this
triple heated" gas feature which has

ture and advancement that will set
the blood tingling In the veins Of any

the man who would at once serve the

LIBERTY LOAN INTEREST RATES

Secretary McAdoo officially corrects
a statement appearing In various
newspapers that the fourth liberty
loan will bear interest at the rate OF
AZ per cent. He states that no
thought has been entertained of issu-
ing the bonds of the fourth loan at a
higher rate than Az per cent
II is Interesting 10 recall here the
secretary's appeal In his third liberty
loan speeches that the rate Of interest
for government loans he stabilized at
Az per cent. He said then that as an
intelligent people we should make "A
stand for the financing OF our govern
ment during the period of the war
at stabilized rate OF interest. naming
~. per cent as the proper figure, so
that all business and investments
might he adjusted on that basis. In
his letter 10 Majority Leader Kitchin
ha strongly urges stabilizing the rate
at IA per cent.
The secretary OF the treasury has
also asserted he did not think that
the patriotism Of the American people
was measured by the rate of interest
on government bond. and the sup
port the people gave the third liberty
loans seems to have Justified his be-
lief.
