TAKE GUARANTEE
FROM AUTO TIRES
county Automobile Dealers AssOcia-
tion Believes This Plan Would
Materially Reduce Price of
Castings

Resolutions endorsing the plan to
discontinue the policy of placing
mileage guarantees on automobile
tires were adopted by the county au-
tomobile dealers in session at Col
fax Monday evening. The dealers
believe that the elimination Of the
mileage guarantee would result in a
substantial and immediate reduction
on the price of tires to the trade
and would not in any way affect the
quality of the product. The tires
would sell on their merit rather than
on the advertised guarantee.
The meeting of automobile deal
ers opened with a banquet at 6
o'clock, followed by a general dis
cussion of the matter of closer CO.
operation between the dealers and
improved methods of auto service.
Z. E. Stokes of this city is secre-
tary of the association and attended
TIE meeting Monday evening.
The next meeting Of the dealers
is scheduled for October 10, when
officers will be elected for the fol-
lowing year.

STRIKE MAY FACE
FREIGHT EMBARGO

Chicago H., Aug, S.-As a result
of the strike of railroad shopmen.
which has piled railroad yards with
engines and cars in need of repairs,
seventeen trains on the Chicago
Northwestern railroad were cut from
the roads schedule today, and indi-
cations are that trains were to be
cut by other roads entering Chicago
within the next twenty-four hours.
That the strike has had serious ef-
feet was proven by the cutting off OF
the trains by the Northwestern road,
all of which are through trains, run
ming from Chicago to points in Iowa,
Illinois and Wisconsin.
The effects Of the strike are being
felt to such an extent by railroads
here that officials are seriously con-
sidering an embargo on all freight,
effective Immediately, In addition,
roads operating suburban trains in
and out of Chicago may take off
some of the trains.
