BREAKS WORLDS
SPEED RECORD
ON RED CROWN

| When Ralph De Palma, in trial
lap over the Santa Monica course,
broke the worlds road race record
recently, he was running on the
Standard Oil Company's Red Crown
gasoline. De Palma covered the
course at an average rate of 1888
miles per hour-the fastest official
! ly-recorded speed ever made on any
road course in the world
1t is a remarkable tribute to the
full and dependable power of Red
Crown that it should have been the
choice of the greatest automobile
driver of the day, and that through
its use he was able to set up such
Ia remarkable record. The gasoline
supplied him was not IN any way
specially made for the purpose, but
De Palma filled his tank from the
regular gasoline wagon on the ga
rage floor of the Packard represen-
tatives in Los Angeles.
This record again demonstrates
tie truth of the Standard Oil Com
.pany's claim that Red Crown, straight
distilled all-refinery gasoline, with
its full and continuous chain of boil
ing points is absolutely dependable
for easy starting, quick and smooth
acceleration, full power and long
mileage.

VALLEY PEOPLE
PROTEST LACK
OF ROAD SPEED

| Senator S. c. Evans, representing
Imperial, Riverside and Orange coun-
ties; Senator Lyman King, for San
| Barnardino county, and Senator Sem
pie, for San Diego county, recently
addressed communication TO the
California State Highway commits
sion, asking what progress could be
expected On the construction of the
Brawley-Indio road before the hot
weather. The senators pointed out
the fact that residents of Imperial
county had protested against the
lack of speed.
The following letter was received
from Chairman Darlington of the
commission, and it is followed by the
reply from Senator Evans:

other season.
The records of this office show
that in Imperial county seven and

down of industry for the purpose OF
throwing men out of employment on
the idea that thereby the rate OF
wages may be cut down for the
future"
Mr.. Hines has ample justification
for making this accusation. The mo-
tives that actuated Congress in re-
fusing to make appropriations and
that influence the big corporations
and individual employers in their re-
fusal to resume activities are a mat
ter of public record.
Only a few weeks ago the conven-
ton of the Building Trades employers
of the United States adopted reso-
luton opposing any increase in wages
this year and condemning the Federal
Employment Service because of its
insistence upon the recognition OF
trade union rules and working condi-
tions.
Refusing to scale prices these prof
iteering employers would insist that
labor iquidate, that it accept reduc-
tions in wages that would place it in
a worse position than it occupied prior
to the war. Every individual member
of a labor union should vigorously
protest to his representative in the
House and to his United States Sen
ators against these deliberate at
tempts to cripple the usefulness of the
Department of Labor, this imposition
of unnecessary hardships upon the
me who have fought the good fight
overseas or who did equally gooc
service in the shops, the factories anc
shipyards at home.

JUDGE MEN BY THEIR ACTS.

Merchants, like all others, must be
judged by their actions. If merch-
ant advertises in every paper but
that patronized by the toilers, it
it would seemingly indicate that he
is not very friendly with this class OF
overanxious to have their trade
Along this line, it is foregone con-
clusion that those merchants who dc
advertise in the columns of the paper
devoted to labor, feel friendly toward
this class, and desire their trade. 1t
will, therefore, pay you to read the
advertisements in this paper, and by
doing so ascertain who the merchants
are who feel friendly toward you and
appreciate your patronage.

POWER OF ADVERTISING
By C. F. Alfordson

Does the business public know the
true value of advertising? Do they
know the most likely class to read
their advertisements, or in what
newspaper, book, or periodical their
advertisement will produce the most
good?
From personal observation | have
discovered that the working people
are the readers and patrons of the
advertising world. Not only that,
if the article bought thus is salts
factory they tell their shop or work
ing companions about it and recon-
mend it. If it is not satisfactory, and
some one should say | saw a certain
article at BIS at a reduced price,
the answer will be, don't buy there,
| got stung." SO the actual advantage
from advertising rests with the work
ing class. That being the case why
don't the business public advertise in
the working mans paper? The paper
that is owned by workingmen, written
for by workingmen, and printed by
workingmen; men who have not yet
learned the knack of declaring
dividends and raising the price
of their publication. It's true
there are a great number of Newark
business people who see the good de-
rived from the advertisements in our
paper. One business man on West
Main street told me he believed he
got more business from his ad. in
this paper than he did from all the
rest of the publications in the county,
and he had a standing ad. in nearly
all. | did not ask for this informa-
ton, | asked him for his subscription,
and when a man gives such informa-
ton without being solicited there is
something in it.
Now this being the reconstruction
period, the business of reconstruction
is going to rest principally on the
working class, in order to make jobs
and positions for our returning heroes.
1t is also up to the business public to
advertise their commodities and let
these working classes know when,
where, and how they can be obtained
We are all going to make some money
now, and also spend some of it; and
the business man with the honest
catchy ad. in the Leader, the working
mems paper, is the man who is going
to get the coin. If you are not an
advertiser, Mr.. business man, get
busy and become one. If the various
factories and railroad shops of our
little city closed down for one month
where would business be? Therefore
if the working class is the fountain OF
perpetual youth for the business pub
lie they should learn for their own
good to show evidence of their friend
ship by advertising in the Newark
Leader.

CHEAP AND DIRTY

The last Congress contained many
good Republicans, many good DEM
ocrats, but mighty few Americans
worthy of the name. Never Tor a
moment did either side rise above
partisanship. The interests OF the
nation, the lives and the welfare OF
the boys overseas were but as chips
hazarded in the game Of party politics
To crafty personal spite against
President Wilson and to gain petty
party advantage Democrats and Re
publcans combined to defeat the
Emergency Appropriation Bills and
then adjourned, careless as to the
consequences. Knowing full well that
more than a million men had been
demobilized in the last three months
and that twice as many will be mus
tered out out Of the service IN the next
few months, Congress refused to ap-
propriate the money needed to mann
tain the Public Employment Service
of the Labor Department-the only
agency through which work can be
found for the soldiers returning to
civil life. Hundreds of local offices
must be closed. Of the fifty-siX es-
tablished in the larger towns OF In
diana. but one remains-that IN the
city of Indianapolis. For months the
Department of Labor has been organ
izing these efficient agencies, ascer-
tanning the needs of employers IN each
locality so as to be able to bring to-
gether the man and the job. These
useful and essential agencies created
with infinite labor and care, are de-
stroyed. What cares Congress? The
war is over; let the soldier stand IN
the bread lines.
The appropriation of $75O,OOO,OOO
needed to carry on the extensive con-
struction work planned by the Rail
road Administration, which would
have furnished employment for half
a million men during the coming half
year, was also refused.
Director General Hines declines to
abandon the work and is determined
to find soem way to get the money
with which to accomplish the things
he has in mind. In statement issued
to the public he openly charges that in
refusing the appropriation Congress
was not merely needless but did so
with malice aforethought-that it
was playing the game of those en-
ployers who would paralyze industry
for the time being in order to force
reductions in wages. Mr.. Hines does
not mince matters in expressing hls
opinions. He says: "In addition to
other reasons which actuate me in
approaching the matter in this spirit
is the reason-which is controlling
consideration with me-that l am alb
solutely out of sympathy with any
policy which contemplates the slowing

QUESTIONS FOR MAJOR MONT
GOMERY
Editor Leader:

Editor Leader:
have read the editorial of Major
iC. w. Montgomery which appeared in
the American Tribune of last Mon
day with no small interest and with
no small wonderment as well.
Is not Major Montgomery aware
that our participation in the great
European war was itself a plunge
into the uncharted seas" of which he
speaks so seriously?
And does he mean to claim that
we can bring our ship of state safely
into port unless our government par
ticipates in a settlement of the many
complicated questions and issues
growing out of the war?
Does he really hold in view of our
having sent more than two million
across the sea and expended so many
billion dollars and sacrificed so many
| lives in the prosecution of the war,
that we, the people of the United
States, have no vital interest in the
terms of the peace that is to be con-
cluded?
And in view of the devastation and
desolation and decentralization and
confusion worse confounded that pre-
vail in Europe, does he hold that the
honor of our government as well as
our obligations to mankind make no
demand on US, and that we should
give ourselves no concern about the
affairs or the interests of the nations
and peoples of the old world?
Does he see no baseness or lgno-
miny in such course as he seems to
advocate? And does he verify be-
lieve that such course would be con-
ducive either to our own interests or
our own safety?
Rather does he not realize, and
ought we not all to realize, that we
are so closely connected with the old
world by commerce and all the ele-
ments of modern civilization, that the
Atlantic ocean, was about to say
the Pacific ocean also-has become a
very narrow sea, and therefore what
ever concerns the peace and safety OF
Europe concerns our peace and safety
also-and our stability and security
as we'll?
Rather should we not all be greatly
interested in the efforts of our gov
ernment to secure the "just and last
ing peace among ourselves and with
all nations" which was so elOquently
prophesied by the great martyr
president Abraham Lincoln in his last
Inaugural address?
If we should leave the European
governments to settle all European
questions themselves and concern our
selves only with our own interests
does Major Montgomery see how oul
own peace and safety-and stability
also-could be secured except by mill
tary preparedness on the most gi
gantic scale and the Prussianizing Of
the American soul? From which fate
may the good Lord deliver us and oul
children and our children's childrer
even unto the latest generation!
Does he not realize that the tw1r
demons of militarism and bolshevisn
have already cast their shadow on the
soil of the United States and that we
may need the protection of the League
of Nations as we'll as the other ma
tions of the earth? ---
Finally, will Major Montgomery ac'
cept a challenge from me to a public
debate on the issue or issues sprung
by him in the columns of the Amerl
can-Tribune? M. R. Scott.
