No Longer Ask How Manye"

Since the show opened there have
been thousands of people here to look
over our new models. In not one
single case has one asked How many
cylinders has it"
Time was when we sold the bevel-
gear drive as the successor of the
chain. Later on we had to explain
why we used the overhead valve sys-
tenn, and TO prove its superiority.
There have been countless sanguinary
contests over all the different fea-
lures IN a motor car, but these have
been IN the nature of skirmishes or
isolated engagements. while always
the war Of cylinders has been Waged
so wickedly it seemed as if the ad-
Vocates of the various types could
never come to an agreement.
Everybody Satisfied, He Says.
strangely enough, it has all been
settled now to the satisfaction of
verybody-because everybody has
won. It's sort of peace without
victory. The single and the twin
cylindered motor haven't much of a
place in automobile construction now,
although they still hold their own in
other fields of activity, but the Tours,
skies, eights and twelves have each
proved that they occupy definite
place in the scheme of things, and
therefore viii endure"

Essex Only New Car.

While, owing to the war, there was
but one new car exhibited, the Essex,
one of the marked features of this
years show was the steadily increas-
ing popularity of the six-cylinder
motor. Nearly 55 per cent of models
in both buildings were of that type;
the four-cylinder cars represented
about so per cent. The eight and
twelve cylinder makes had remained
practically stationary for four years,
the Fights leading the twelves by d
slight margin.
1t was also noted that nearly 80
per cent of the 1919 cars now carry
vacuum fuel feed systems. on the re-
naming models the gravity and pres
sure feed systems are about even. The
adoption of the vacuum method of
fuel feeding to the carburetor has
been one of the rapid advances in
the last few years.
The manufacturers, notwithstanding
the great disruption of nearly all the
plants. due to making munitions of
war, contributed royalty to making
the show a success, and visitors found
very little lacking as a result of the
wars curtailment in factory produce
ton.
All told there were fifty-eight diff
ferent makes of cars, including all
OF the popular ones, representing well
over 100 types of bodies, from the
snappy roadster to the luxurious
sedans and limousines.

NEW YORK'S AUTO
SHOW BIG SUCCESS
Record Crowds at Annual Ex-
hibition, Which Closed
Last Night.
MANY CARS ARE SOLD

The passenger car display of the
nineteenth annual New York auto
mobile show at Madison Square Car
den and the seth Regiment Armory
came to p close last night after
record breaking week. At no pre-
vfous auto exposition in New York
have the crowds turned out in such
force and with so much enthusiasm.
Many sales were made during the
afternoon and evening sessions, and
the outlook for 1919 couldn't be bet
ter, the exhibitors say.
Visitors from the industrial centers
of the country who thronged the large
New York hotels throughout the week
discussed with general interest the
suspicious opening of the show. and
the inquiries for new cars from pros
pective purchasers were numerous on
the first night, warranting the pre-
diction that the coming year will be
one of the most prosperous the auto
mobile trade has experienced.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-The gov

Assistant Attorney General Amos, in

Very little new has developed IN tne
big coal strike in the FaiF!uont fields
and in fact very little at all in North
ern West Virginia.. The ranks OF tne
union miners are holding firm from all
indications. Some hopes are express
ed IN coal circles generally that settle
ment might be affected in Washing
ton.
Twenty-nine mines are working to-
day in Northern West Virginia, prob
abiy every one Of the number being an
nnoreanized mine. Seventeen Of these
mines are on the Monongah division OF
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad in the
vicinity OF Buckhannon; two along the
west Virginia and Northern railroad
and ten along the Morgantown and
Kingwood railroad. This Is eleven
mines more than on Tuesday, The
gains were made as follows: Three
on the M0nongah division Of the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad; !; two on thN
West Virginia and Northern railroad,
none Of which worked on Tuesday
and six mines on the Morgantown and

rent that several OF the mines working
today on the NJ. & = railroad were p9-
ganized mines, but the operat0rs
would not positively claim this and

Men Still Peaesful..
Today is the fourth day Of the big
strike and nothing has yet occurred to
promote any bad feeling between the
operators and the miners. Both sides
agree in this.
Miners appear to be reaching the
city and looking at the store windows
and engaging in conversation among
themselves. There Is no excitement
and with nobody to start anything the
men are peaceful andla abiding. The
absence OF rum traffic in Northern
west Virginia is a factor in the pres

Copies Of the petition have been

been distributed to the members of
the association by G. T. Bell, .execu-
tive vice president who is the attor-
ney for the petit

|ly used for the same purposes, It IS
jiBSall known th;Et coal Is bet
Ftet IAN Grams sbutg coal for gas plants.

on the other hand, Greensbnrg coal is
as good as any Fairmont coal, for All
Greensbnrg field advertise their coal
as being suitable for the same purposes
as Faifmoht district coal"
1t will be noted that, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the distance from the
Fairmont district to Baltimore Is sub
stantially the same as that from the
Greensburg district, the rate from the
Fairmont district is is cents per gross
ton higher than the rate from the
Greensburg district. 1t will be fur
ther noted, that although the distance
from the Fairmont district to Balti-
more Is substantially less than that
from. the Greensburg district to Phila-
delphia, the rate from the Fairmont
district to Baltimore is eight cents
gross ton higher than that from the
Greensburg district to Philadelphia,
At a rate case back in 1911 Mr.. Jamf-
son, of the Jamison Coal and Coke
company, of Breensburg, Pa, testified
that the Fairmont district was the
chief competitor Of the Greensburg
district in eastern markets, states the
petition.
Continuing the petition states:
"From time to time, in answer to
these complaints of the Fairmont
operators, the Greensburg operators
claimed that on account Of their high
er, mining costs incident to their field
being organized they should be allow
ed an advantage in rates sufficient to
overcome their disadvantage in min
ing costs. It is therefore seen that the
Gfeensburg group was created in or
der to overcome claimed disadvan-
.tages in the inherent character OF the
coal and in mining costs. Conceding
for the moment sA@.ss these claimed
disadvantages were based upon fact,
they were nevertheless improper and
unlawful excuses for the unjust and
unfair discrimination perpetrated
,upon the Fairmont field. It was un-
lawful then, It is unlawful now, for
carriers to reflect such circumstances
In any adjustment Of rates. 1t was
therefore beyond, the proper province

Mr.. Walker said further, at is
