be increased, time is saved, wear and
tear on truck and tires is lessened
and depreciation and repairs are min

Relation to Highway Construction
and Maintenance.
There is no doubt that with the in
creasing use of the highways by these
heavy trucks for interurban and inter-
state hauling some limitations must
be placed on their size. weight, load
and speed. Some motor truck engi-
neers state that it is a problem of the
highway engineer and that he should
build the roads strong enough to
withstand any load. This is perfectly
possible. but in all fairness to the
highway engineer he must have some
definite figures to start with in de-
signing his road for heavy loads and
increased impact.
At the convention of the American
Association of State Highway Officials
and the Highways Industries associa-
tion at Chicago late in 1918. George
NJ. Graham, chairman of the National
Motor Truck Committee of the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber Of Com
merce, presented paper which has
been used as basis for practically all
constructive discussions on this sub
ject since that time, and which were
considered at the annual convention
Of the American Road Builders asso-
citation in New York in February
when the following resolution was
passed:
Resolved: That the American
Road Builders association favors the
following regulations of motor trucks
on the public highways:
Il. The gross weight Of vehicle and
load shall not exceed $4,000 pounds
on four wheels.
"2. The total height shall not ex-
ceed IL feet inches.
80. The total width shall not ex-
ceed SO inches.
4. The total length shall not ex-
ceed % feet.
IS. The total weight per inch width
of tire (measured at the base OF rub
ber) shall not exceed 500 pounds.
80. The speed of motor trucks and
trailers entirely equipped with solid
rubber tires shall not exceed Is miles
per hour"
At a conference under the auspices
or the National Highway Traffic asso-
citation at the Automobile Club OF
America, New York City. January 81

Liquor Sale in England.

Liquor establishments IN England,
said Maj Beth, ARE open each day
from noon until 2 o'clock in the after
noon and from until Q in the even

to make IL possible to drink only with
meals. AS a result drunk enness in the

Clyde Strike More Serious.

The strike on the Clyde was reported
to-day to be growing more serious.
Nearly all the big shipyards and en-.
cheering works are on the verge of
closing down or carrying on their
work with small forces.
The strikers say that their object is
to remodel trades eunionism" and to
establish on a national basis the
policy of direct action" OF which this
strike is an example.
The leaders Of the Glasgow strikers
are said to be trying to link up the
strike on the Clyde with the strikes
in Belfast and London, notwithstand-
ing the differences in the aims of all
three Of these movements.
The Belfast strike committee. which
yields immense power, has taken upon
itself, with the involuntary acQuies-
cence of the civil authorities. some of
the attributes of an Industrial soviet"

Manchester Guardian reports.
The strike committee, 1t is added, is

Struck Gait in August.

In August of last year, during the
last drive, the American forces
showed that they are good fighters
II was there mostly that their initia-
tive asserted itself. This was particu-
larly true of the artillery. The Amer
lean infantry advanced SO rapidly that
the artillery had much trouble keep
ing apace with them. Prior to the
drive the artillery was on a front
for several months at time, and had
it's terrain registered so that wnen
orders were given to IRE on certain
target there was nothing to do but
consult a chart, and in two minutes
the firing was on.
This how yer, was not so in the
last drive. The artillery was called
upon to follow the infantry and find
out, through the aid of the air serv-
ice, what their targets We're, and this
was difficult work The artillery had
to fire FIVE or six miles without seeing
its object or having the range regis
tered. as in previous drives.

Points to Danger of Disaster.

81 know many union leaders who
are very seriously alarmed by the
probable effect of demands now being
made, regardless of the corresponding
need for an improved organization
and a higher efficiency among work
ers; but their position of dependence
prevents them from taking a lead
which they know to be vital to the
national interests. They know that
anything detrimental to national in
terests must ultimately mean disas-
ter to the whole working class. but
they do not dare to speak their
There must be a fight between rev.

have to face a long period of indus

find the workers Infinitely worse off
