The old 1914 'boat" is beginning to bag in the knees. The way our 1913 motor skips and coughs when we're driving certain party on a sunny Sun day is getting to be embarrassing.
 We need new car-you know we do. Let's at least begin now, today, buy our 1919 car---let's buy it from the makers say-so in The Age-Herald. Every wise automobile or truck manufacturer seeks the trade of prosperous Age-Herald readers. He wants people with minds : to decide and money to buy and finds hem here. Listen to him!

For the next year or two we would better satisfy our automobile needs whenever and however we can, and "the sooner the quicker"
 A prominent automobile sales mana ger puts it this way: "We are gEad- ually shifting from war work to our reg ular line, but it's an awful job. We are all 'geared up to Liberty motor and air plane parts and l don't believe we can turn out any new cars before June or July"
 Yet the country is hungry for motor cars.

SETTLEMENT OF MARINE STRIKE
 IS PREDICTED
Seamen's Secretary Believes an Agreement Will Be Reached
 Today.

New Tor, July 17.-With the re- sumption today of negotiations be- tween representative of the United States shipping board, ship owners and striking seamen, hope was held out for an early settlement of the marine strike, which has disrupted shipping along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts for several days. Gus R. Brown, secretary of the Seamen's union, expressed the belief late to- day that the strike would be settled within 24 hours. He gave no reason for this prediction.
 Agents of the Metropolitan line steamship, Ice King, tied up in Brook lyn, appealed to union officials today to provide firement to operate the refriegrating plant in order to save a. S1 ,500,000 cargo of beef consigned to Norway and Sweden. Union men reported that "sign up" was the answer to this request.
 Andrew Furuseth, president of the International Seamen's union issued a statement accusing the shipping board of being largely resposible for the strike, stating that it had granted the demands of the Pacific coast workers fer an eight hour day while refusing similar claims from those of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.

Restricts Importation of Lux. uries from America and
 Other Countries.
SEEKS TO RECOVER
 HER TRADE BALANCE
British Officials Point Out That Re- strictions Not Intended to Dis criminate Against United
 States.

Washington, July 17-To protect exchange in America and other coun- tries where the baiance of trade is against England, the British govern r.ent has found it advisable to re- Qulre special licenses in some cases with the purpose of reducing the ex- penditure of British money for luxur- ies. Such an issue was that of silk hosiery, which was one of the small drains upon the British purse for W hich there was no counter balance in export.
 It is learned from official sources that in making these addition to the items requiring special licenses for importation there has been no thought on the part of the British government of discriminating against American trade. On the contrary, the regulations apply to imports from all sources.
 Sir Erie Geddes recently informed the British parliament that some such measures would be necessary to protect British exchange, and appeal cd to the patriotism of the British people to curb their expenditures for foreign luxuries, holding that British money should only be sent out of the country under present strained condi- tions for food and articles of prime necessity, which could not be pro- duced in England.
 The possibility o1 the permanency of such restrictions. which not only tend to maintain British exchange at favorable figure but also are highly protective of British industries has aroused the free trade elements in England to realization of the fact that whole time honored doctrine may be at stake and a lively cam paign is expected to precede the meeting of the commission in London.

 MAKERS OF GARMENTS
Head of New York Federation Says 70,0OO Enrolled in Garment Workers Union By the
 Anarchists

New York, July 17-James P. Holland, president of the New York state federation of labor, testifying today before the joint legislative committee Investigating radical and seditious activities in this state, de- clared that the l. w. W. had organ ized many thousands of workers thru out the country on a platform which included in it's blanks on calling for the destruction of the American gov ernment.
 The most powerful of the radical organizations, MT. Holland asserted, was the Amalgamated Garment Workers of America, with mem bership which he estimated at TO- GOO.
 As an evidence of the wide sweep ing plans of the I. w. w. letters were read into the testimony before Mr. Holland took the stand, in which l. w. W. leaders urged European and South American workers to join in a scheme for an international revolutionary industrial union." One of the most ambitious projects was the organization of the marine work CTS of the two Americas and the mari tine European countries into lone big union."
 The most fruitful field found by the radicals in this country, according to MT. Holland, has been the gar ment industry, the second greatest industry in the United States. Asked what were the principles of the or ganization formed by the I. w. w. among the garmen workers, MT. Holland replied: ;,
 "They don't believe in government. They preach that behind closed doors now. and some of them preach it out of doors."
 The witnessed was asked if it was ever brought to his attention that the Amalgamated Garment workers favored a soviet form of govern ment.
 "It has not only been brought to attention. but it has been rammed down by throat" replied MT. Holland. "But the majority of the working men and working women are Americans first and not sovieus, as some would have us believe"
