ONE WAY TO GET
TIRE UNIFORMITY
United States Rubber Com
pany Raises It's Own Raw
Material.

Now that the Government has taken
of all restrictions on the importation of
crude rubber the United States Rubber
Company. manufacturer of United
States tires, Ia able again to place at the
disposal OF its customers the peculiar
advantages made possible through its
ownership OF the largest rubber planta
ton in the world
The establishment OF its great planta-
lions in Sunatra gives the United States
Rubber Company unique place among
the large manufacturing concerns OF the
world. With keen Yankee foresight this
company acquired Its plantations nearly
ten years ago. and now has seventy
square miles Of rubber trees under a
state Of cultivation that would delight
any skilled orchardist. That the COM
pany produces its own rubber has n very
distinct interest for every user of United
States tires.
The motoring public has for a long
time been puzzled by the lack of uni
formity In tires. Two tires bought at
the same time from most reputable man
ufacturers have not shown the same per-
Torrance in service. the difference
amounting in many instances to hun
dreds of miles. The tire manufacturers
were also puzzled at first, but soon To-
Gated the trouble In the lack OF uniform
ity in the crude rubber they were buying.
Then began a scientific battle. waged
in the factory laboratories. to overcome
the differences which always have ex-
listed in the same type OF rubber grown
In different localities 1t was found
that there were differences even IN sep
arate lots OF rubber from the same
locality. and In tracing the causes vari-
Gus factors were encountered. The most
important was the difference In methods
used for coagulating the latex from the
trees and on handling the coagulated
rubber thereafter.
Rubber being a vegetable substance
and containing considerable proteid mat
ter. decomposition can occur II great
precautions are not taken. Some OF the
rubber producers realized this while
others did not. 1t is easy to sec that
when the cases OF crude rubber from
different localities reached the markets
and were intermfngled the buyers were
getting some strange mixtures
The United States Rubber Company
recognized this situation in the early
days Of the tire industry. and at once
set its perfectly equipped laboratories
and factories to work on the problem
The result was that It was proved that
no process exists by which the usual
market grades can be blended 30 as to
produce crude rubber uniformity. The
decision was then reached to control the
quality Of the material from it's source,
and vast areas in Sunlatra were pur-
chased. put under cultivation and rubber
trees planted.

FINE WAR WORK

Want Church Street Improved

The business men and property
owners on West Church street, be-
tween Third and Fourth streets, have
started an active campaign to have
that portion of the street put in de-
cent shape, so that the traffic, which
on account of the deplorable condi-
ton of that thoroughfare now de-
tours, will again resume its proper
channel. Service Director Wilson
claims he has been unable to get the
brick necessary to repair the street,
but promises to attend to the matter

CHRISTMAS BELLS

aarkl Hark! l hear a distant bell,
And now a chime-they softly ring;
What joyful tidings do they tell
AS back and forth they swing.
'Tis mid of night-who rings those bellsE
Perhaps solEe doves there nesting,
And while each little bosom swels,
And warm, they touch with gentle wing
The tuneful metal, and IT feels
So incubated it would swing
To life and wake the world with peals
OF gladness as for new-crowned King
Those midnight bells how sweet they
chime;
The welkin vibrates with their sound;
To hearts attune they are sublime,
Nor spread they dread alarm around.
Lo! now l see, from East afar
A light shines through the steeples
frame.
'Tis brighter than the brightest STAR
1t glds the bells with golden hame;
There, too, l see some cherubs cllnG
Fast hold the ropes. How fair they pe!
They swing the bells and sWeetly sing
This is the Christs nativity
Wake every heart join in their song
OF praise to Christ, our newborn King;
To him our sweetest strains belong,
And his, our richest offering.
When wakes the god of day and shines
Athwart the heavens what of glee
VIII wake as well? With box and pines
And flowers gay, yon house will be
Adorned, and while the anthem swelis
With organs voice, all Christendom
VIII vibrant be as are those bells
That Christ's nativity has come.

ASSOCIATION
CHRISTMAS GREETING

The Newark Leader sincerely
wishes all its friends and patrons a
most joyous and merry Christmas
and happy, prosperous and con-
tended New Year.
We think we are justified in feeling
no little pride in presenting this
splendid holiday number of twenty
pages, frightened with yuletide mes
sages and suggestions, in addition to
a large amount of general and local
news. 1t has been our aim ever since
the first issue to print a clean, newsy
paper, and we believe from the many
kind words of encouragement and ap-
proval received that our efforts have
met appreciation of our readers and
the general public. This policy will
be continued in the future, and while
continuously and fearlessly cham
pioning the great cause Of labor, per
sonal annimosities and private griev-
ances will not be aired.
We desire to thank our great num-
Der of friends among the various
local labor organizations for their
loyal and never ceasing work in be-
half of the Leader, and its ever in
creasing subscription list is the best
evidence of the effectiveness of their
labors.
We especially thank the business
and professional men and the manu-
featuring industries of the city for
their unqualified endorsement of the
Leader, which is manifested by their
liberal advertising patronage. They
recognize the tact that a great ma
jority of the money spenders of the
city is to be found among the ranks
of organized labor, and that the best
means of attracting their attention
is through the columns of their own
paper. Our subscribers read the ad-
vertisements, and believing in reci-
procity, naturally trade with those
merchants who thus evidence their
belief that the dollar of the working
man is as desirable as that of the
silk gloved aristocrat.
We again urge every union man,
and the family Of every union man,
to spend their hard earned money
with their proven friends-trade only
with Leader advertisers. Every bus
mess and profession is represented
in our columns, it is only necessary
to choose from among them.

LABOR PAPER is TRAITOR
Pittsburgh National Labor Journal
is Repudiated by the Cen
trail Body

Pittsburgh, Pain the power OF
the steel companies is a thing Won
derful to behold. 1t extends over prac-
tically every institution. Even the
journals instituted by organized la
Dor have been unable to resist it. The
two notorious eX-labor sheets here,
the National Labor Tribune and the
Labor World, have openly combatted
the campaign to organize the steel
workers since its inception.
The latest recruit to this list of
traitor labor papers in the Pittsburgh
district is the National Labor Journal.
FOR a long time this paper, edited by
David J. Berry, has enjoyed the
active support Of Labor, while all the
time engaging in questionable prac-
tees. And now, when the crisis is
here, has come out into the open and
Joined the minions of the steel trust
ir their efforts to defeat the steel
strike.
But at last organized labor has
walked up to the situation. A COM
mittee was instructed to look into
the status of the paper. 1t reported
that a majority Of the stock was held
by some of the most notorious labor
smashing employers in Pittsburgh.
This fact, together with its open hos
tility to the steel strike, has led the
Pittsburgh Central Labor Union to
withdraw its endorsement and sup
port Of this viper that it has been
nursing so long in its bosom and
caused the following resolution to be
adopted at regular meeting of the
Pittsburgh Central Labor Union on
December 4th:
WHEREAS, At a meeting Of the
Pittsburgh Central Labor Union held
or November goth "a motion prevailed
which provided for the withdrawal of
the endorsement of the Council from
the National Labor Journal, and
WHEREAS, Some confusion has
arisen as to what motive prompted
such action, and it is felt that this
ought to be cleared up, THERE
FORE, be it
RESOLVED, That the Pittsburgh
Central Labor Union hereby declares
that its withdrawal of the endorse
ment which it had heretofore given
the National Labor Journal was due
tc the following reasons:
(a) The paper no longer reflects
the views Of Organized Labor in
this section;
(b) 1t has never given whole
hearted support to the most com
mendable efforts which have for
the past year been made to organ
: ize the Iron and Steel Workers;
(c) 1t has openly through its
editor, David j. Berry, joined in the
nationwide hue and cry of the
capitalist press against the leaders
of both the Steel Strike Movement
and the State Federation of Labor
of Pennsylvania, thus giving aid
and comfort to the worst enemies
of Organized Labor and furnishing
active assistance in the efforts be-
ing made to drive the steel work
ers back to the slavish conditions
Of employment against which they
are now striking. THEREFORE,,
be it further
RESOLVED, That copies of these
resolutions be Incorporated in the
minutes of this meeting and sent to
the labor press of this country for
publication.
