The leaders of fifteen organizations
of railroad employees united in the
assertion that they had no desire to
impress upon the public violence or
otherwise their proposal that the rail
roads be nationaized under tri-

requests for reduction in living costs
dissassociated the question of future
disposition of the railroad problem.
They stated that unless President
Wilson and congress could find way
to meet the request Of the men that
the men would have to try and find
another solution to the problem.

VALLEY FACES
DRASTIC AUTO
SHORTAGE NOW

Part of the good accomplished by
the Associated Advertising clubs of
the world is that of acting as a strict
censor, thrc ugh its vigilance commit
tee. on all National advertised prod
ucts. No manufacture can, without
aging himself oren for civil suits and
.,o. ccut.o. at Jhc ha0da Of 'e" adEcf-
s,n. men, publish all untrutn in any
national magizinc.
Before the advent Ct the advertising
clubs, manufacturers could lay claim
to any number of adjectivcs which
would aid in the sale of their prod
uctS. With the coming OF the adver-
tising clubs and the necessity seen,
that if advertising was to be believed
it had 10 tell the truth, the old
customs have rapidly gone by the
boards, so that today every national
advertisement is carefully snalyzed
by the vigilance committee for possi-
BILE infraction of the advertising law.
The ad men have had laws enacted
which made it felony for an adver-
tiscr to claim more for his product or
to make a msstatement to the public
through the national press.
A great number of people, when
automobile manufacturers began to
advertise that worlds shortage Of
automobiles was apparent, thot that
such ads of the manufacturers were
bunk, that the manufacturer so ad-
vertising was merely trying to in
crease the sale of certain automobile
through fraudulent methods.
Time has proven that the manufact-
urers knew and as the vigilance com
mittee of the national advertising club
knew they were correct.
United States is today facing an
automobile shortage. Not shortage
of one or two makes of cars, but the
entire industry is behind in filling or
ders and the manufacturers are ad
vcrtising car shortage.
1t has been almost impossible to
buy 4 new car in the valley for the
past six weeks. A few dealers have
been fortunate in receiving small al
lotment of cars but nothing compared
with the demand here.
The Cadillac and Nash dealer, l.. A.
Jackson, has been unable to get any
cars of these makes for over month.
Don Lee, the Cadillac distributor on
the coast, who has contracted for one
tenth of the Cadillac factory's output
has over 500 untitled orders for this
car on his books.
This one instance but cites the gen
eral condition of the automobile mar
ket in the valley
{. j. Lewis returns from the coast
where he spent several DAYS on
buying trip. Mr.. Lewis states that
used cars are at premium and hard
to get at any price. Imperial valley
money talks in San Diego and he made
several good buys. The long looked
fer drop in car prices is still long
looked for prospect and instead many
dealers are receiving notices of price
advances. With the large demand ard
scarcity of cars it will be necessary for
and advantageous for used cars to be
bought by those now in in the mar
'let for automobiles. The Imperial val
,cy selections appear to excel all coast
points.
