 Shamhart and MaXey have been in the automobile business in this city for year, and it is only after carefully considering every motor car on the market that they have taken over the Grant as its agents here. deciding that the Grant Six is one of the best light siXes built and believing that it is of fering more for the money than any comparable car.
 The Grant Six is already known in Phoenix as a dependable car, and is already enjoying nation wide reputa ton. Probbly its best recommendation and most spectacular exploit was the climbing of the California Sierras in 1917, being the best car to ever sue cessfully accomplish that feat.

chief essentials to rubber manufactur- ing. It is near the market for the fin ished product, and within a decade will be almost the center of automobile population of America.
 Eastern manufacturers admit the Rockies have the advantage in climate. One of the chief losses in tire making in the humid regions is caused by moisture in the material when if is subject to the vulcaniZing process Despite costly machinery for drying equipment essential to tire making in all moist zones it is impossible to keep the fabric entirely dry. Moisture will creep in, and a drop of water as big as the head of q pin spells destruction to a tire in the making.
 The mountain country has none of this moisture trouble to contend with Nature takes care of the drying pro- cess for us. The bursting of a. tire from moisture bubbles or steam, as the material is subject 10 excessive heat in the vulcanizins process, is all most unknown in Denver"
 What does manufacture on q large scale have to do with economy in tire making9' Mr. Gates was asked
 Everything, he replied There is economy in buying on big scale. There is economy in shipping in quan- tity. There is vastly more economy in manufacturing and selling wholesale.
 Competition in tire and rubber manufacture has become so keen that selling on the closest maTkin is essen- tial. The fellows not in position to take advantage of these economies can | not put a good tire or the market and sell it at the price the consumer has l to pay for the product of the fellow who does business in quantity"
 MT. Gates pointed out that 40 per cent of the automobiles in America are owned west of the Mississippi river, and predicted that the automo- bile population center would moves O western Kansas in the next decade.
 Virtually all of the rubber that goes into ANlerican-m made tires now comes through Pacific ports. The freight rate to the mountain region is little more than half the cost Of transporting crude rubber to big plants east of the Mississippi. Fabrics that go into the manufacture of good tires and kindred products are made only from the best long fiber Sea Island cotton. This is the most costly cotton in the world. and is becoming harder to buy every year. The best Sea Island cotton grown comes from the plantations of Arizona and New Mexico. A little is raised in Texas. This gives another short haul advantage over the east"

times the voices were loud and angry.
However. the sentiment of American
ism prevailed.
Attorneys for the union were called
into the conference room several
times during the eighteen-hour de-
bate. They advised compliance with
the judges ruling. IT is known. and
this advice had a strong influence on
the final decision.
Lewis Bows to Others.
No vote was taken at the conclu-
sion of the debate, IL was understood.
All of the LOG men in the conferen, e
room who wished to state their views
were given an opportunity to do so.
Lewis merely listened" one OF.
ficial said.
The deciding power was In Lewis
hands. After he heard the expires
sions OF the other union officials. he
ruled that the sentiment was un-
with the court order.

of being called yellow by the miners
IL we rescinded the strike order" said
one district president
"Tf we defied the curt we woul
be anarchists. We are Americans
first, and we placed our country be-
fore our union"
Immediately after the meeting ad-
journed, many OF those who attended
hurried to catch trains to return to
their local posts.
There appeared to he no question
but that the union officials intended
their action to be a bona fide ending
OF the strike.

will think we are merely taking this
action to comply with the courts
order, and not with the intention OF
ending the strike" said one high Of
