REPUBLIC Distributors
FORM AN ASSOCIATION
Organization Aims to Exchange
Ideas and Develop a Spirit Of
Cooperation.

Associations of various kinds are
not new in the motor truck and as
sociated trades. But an association
composed solely of the distributors
of one make of truck is something of
an innovation.
Among the distributors of Republic
trucks. however, there has always
geen pronounced family feeling.
"Our distributors" says Gilbert
Benzinger, local Republic truck rep
resentative, have always taken an
interest in each other and in the gen.
eral welfare of the Republic organi-
cation as whole. Whenever they
get together at factory conferences
or conventions they have always
shown a spirit of cooperation, ex-
changing ideas for the mutual good
of the business, swapping plans that
have enabled them to give Republic
truck users exceptionally efficient
service and Offering the factory the
benefit of their observations on truck
conditions in their respective terri
tories.
Recently ii occurred to some of
our leading distributors that this
force could be made permanently
active one by forming u regularly
constituted association among them
selves with the same purposes in
mind.
"Conseauently they have formed the
Republic Distributors Association
and elected the following officers:
II. NJ Genung, Kansas City. Mo, pres
ident: F. C. Meyer, st. Louis Mo,
secretary; w. r. Pattersoa Dallas.
Tex, vice president. and William w.
Martin, Pittsburgh, Pa, treasurer.
From what ! know of the men
behind this association and their
constant endeayor to improve con-
ditions in the motor truck field, I
feel sure that the new association
will not only be helpful to Republic
truck users and the Republic organi-
cation, but will also be worth-
while force in the Improvement and
development of motor truck trans
portation and service everywhere"

MOTOR TRUCK USERS TACKLE
PROBLEM OF PNEUMATIC TIRE

It is doubtful IL any other industry
in our country is called upon to tackle
SO many new problems as the tire in
dustry. Vehicular conditions are
rapidly changing, and tire develop
ment has had to keep up with these
changes. Thanks to the initiative Of
American tire engineers. every kind
of motor propelled vehicle has been
provided with a suitable tire.
With the steady advance of the
motor truck into diversified fields Of
service, it became quite obvious that
no one style Of tire would best meet
all conditions. Incidentally, there
was recognized need for pneumat-
ic tire for trucks.
Evening star., 1919-03-09

Some truck manufacturers and truck
users have been seeking RELIEF
through the use of dual pneumatics--
two tires on each rear wheel. Many
passenger buses and pieces of fire
apparatus are SO equipped This ar
rangement however, has its disad-
vantages. which largely Offset the
to l. C. Rockhill of the Goodyear
Tire and Rubber Company. Akron,
Ohio.
Inequalities of the road surface
throw an undue proportion of the
ROAD on one OF the other of the dual
tires and in case of puncture one
tire often carries the strain of the
whole load" he explains,
mo two makes of tires are exactly
the same size and cross section, and
therefore, even If road conditions are
absolutely perfect, one tire carries
Evening star., 1919-03-09

more of the load than the other.
Identical air pressures cannot be
maintained in any two tires in actual
service. The removal of the inside
tire necessitates the removal of both
tires. which means double work in
making n tire change.
'Ali of these difficulties are obvi-
ated by the use of single pneumatic
cord truck tires, and many benefits
added that Juais never provided.
They permit greater speed, which
means that a truck in general use
may make more trips daily. Not
only are these tires proving their
worth by providing greater cushion
ing and freedom from tire trouble, but
they greatly reduce repair expense
and incease the life of the truck.
Evening star., 1919-03-09

war 1t was found desirable to aquip
a considerable number Of trucks with
pneumatic tires, and the question OF
single or dual tire equipment came
up for settlement. 1t Is interesting ia
note that the Signal Corps, which op-
Grated many trucks during the war,
declared for the single pneumatic and
used thousands of them to secure the
mobility of operation which the serv-
ice reoulred."

Scores Of Measures
VIII Die on Calendar
as Congress Adjourns

Washington, March 3.-With the
Victory loan bill out of the way,
both branches of congress went to
work early today with the hope of
clearing up a mass of bills.
Democratic leaders predicted that
while the army and navy appropria-
ton measures would not be passed,
the $l,000000,000 wheat guarantee
bill and the general deficiency ap-
preparation measure, carrying $780,
100000 additional for the railroad
administration, would be enacted be-
fore sine die adjournment at noon
tomorrow.
There seemed little chance of get
ting through nearly dozen bills, in
Guiding the agricultural bill, with a
rider to repeal the daylight saving
act; the sundry civil bill carrying
$600000000 for the shipping board,
omnibus building bills, and the
measure providing for federal con-
troll and regulation of the meat pack
ing industry. These are only a few
Of the measures that are expected to
die on the calendar.
Hope virtually was abandoned by
suffrage leaders of preventing a fill
buster on the equal suffrage consti-
tutional amendment, which Senator
Jones of New Mexico expected to
call up.

Berlin Crowd Shakes
Fists at Americans
at Army Homecoming

Berlin, March Shy The Asso-
ciated Press. During a demonstra-
ton on the return of General Won
Lettow-Voerbeck and some of his
East African troops this afternoon, a
crowd of enthusiasts shook fists and
sticks at a number of American Off
GERS sitting in the windows of the
hotel where the American mission is
CHARTERED.
Others in the crowd countered by
clapping their hands and cheering
the Americans. The officers prompt
ly withdrew when they saw that
their presence might provoke trou-
Bile.
The hostile crowd hung around
the hotel for a long time and made
offensive remarks about the French
mission. which has its headquar-
tiers i'll the same hotel, because of
an unfounded report that the French
had Kissed the German procession.
Finally, German troops were lined
up in front of the hotel to prevent
possible violence.
The reception to the former Ger
man commander in East Africa saw

perial flags huttered everywhere in
stead of the banners of the German
republic. Patriotic songs of the old
regime rang out in quite the old
way.

Washington, March 3.-With the
appointment today of Arthur
Woods, former police commissioner
of New York City, as a special as
sistant to Secretary Baker, the War
department embarked upon a ma
tion-wide campaign to obtain en-
ployment for discharged soldiers.
Mr.. Woods will serve as the War

Senator VaTdaman Inserts
Statement in Congressional
Record; Committee Unable
to Report at This Time.

Washington, March 3.-Senator
Vardaman of Mississippi, chairman
OF the senate manufactures COM
mittee, today inserted i'll the con-
gressional record a statement on the
committees investigation of the an
thracite situation, charging that pro-
duction of anthracite coal in the
United States is controlled by eight
large transportation companies,
which were able to fix prices and de-
termine the rate of production.
Chairman Vardaman explained
that the committee was unable to
present its report at this time. as
not all of the testimony had been
printed. He added, however, that he
had gathered together certain
facts" which he trusted would be Of
help to the next congress in dealing
with the anthracite coal question.
Testimony before the committee,
he asserted in his statement, had dis
closed, in his opinion, that there is
not commodity in common use that
is so absolutely monopolized as the
anthracite coal production" Short
age Of anthracite during the war and
the existing high prices for the COM
modify, he said. were due almost en-
tirely to this monopolistic control.
Transportation corporations con-
trolling production in the Pennsyl-
vania field-the only source of mar
ketable anthracite in North Ameri-
ca-were named in Senator Varda-
mans statement as follows:
THE Reading (the holding COM
pany of the Philadelphia and Read
ing Coal and Iron company; the
Jersey Central, (Which in turn owns
all OF the stock Of the Lehigh and
Wilksbarre company, the Lehigh
Valley, the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western; the Delaware and
Hudson; the Lehigh Coal and Navi-
CATION company, (Which owns and
controls the Lehigh and New Eng
land); the Erie, and the New York,
Ontario and Western.
Notwithstanding the fact" said
the statement, that the constitu-
ton of Pennsylvania prohibits a
transportation company from en-
gaging in mining, these transporta-
tion companies are in this business
of not only transporting this coal,
but of mining it.
