AUTO TIRES Use UP
BIG COTTON SUPPLY
FOUR MILLION BALES WILL Be
CONSUMED IN THEIR MANU-
FACTURE THIS YEAR.

Nearly A per cent of the worlds cot
ton production for 1920 will be used
in the manufacture of pneumatic
tires, a total consumption of approx,
mately 100000 bales. The l92O
production of tires in the Unlted
States should approximate 4O,OOO,ooO
to equip near 100000 new cars and
to maintain near 100000 now IN
operation. Cotton promises to remain
indefinitely as indispensable to tire
making as rubber.
These figures are given by Elliott
H. Barnwell, manager OF the cotton
and fabric division of the Goodyear
tire and rubber company. He estl-
mates that the only bar to further eX-
mansion of the pneumatic tire indus
try might possibly be the limit to fab
ricaton capacity or yarn and cotton
mills.
MANY motorists wonder how much
cotton goes into the manufacture OF
pneumatics. Tires now contain an
average of four pounds-an increase
of one pound due to the increasing
number of pneumatic truck tires,
which require more cotton because OF
their size. Much of the cotton used
is Egyptian or Peruvian. The larger
companies use the cream of the
worlds crops-the l Is inch staple
or better.
100000 One FIRMS Output
A few of the larger companies will
make more than half the years out
nrt-the remainder will be divided
among more than 230 smaller con-
Germs In 1920 Goodyear manufac-
tured nearly 100000 tires, and in
1920 will probably manufacture near
w 25 per cent of the country's output.
To keep pace with demand, the COM
pany is expanding operations IN its
textile plants. The mills at Good
year, Ct, will be enlarged to house
10000 new spindles, 176 new houses
for employees will be started within 60
days, and a new tire fabric mill on
the Pacific coast will be operating 49,
900 spindles by May. The present
mill at Goodyear operates $4,000 spin
dies. At Los Angeles, Cal, the COM
pany's new tire factory to employ g.
600 people will be in operation by the
middle of summer.
In Arizona the company has al
ready taken three crops from its &c.
900 acres of cultivated land, made
possible by irrigation of the desert.
Looking to the future, the company
has just completed arrangements to
sell cotton seed to the farmers of the
Imperial Valley of California and will
take the entire crop, which will be
ginned in new gins to be erected by
the company at several advantageous
points in that section of California.

HANGS FOR HOURS
OVER A DEEP PIT
ANTARCTIC EXPLORER TELLS
OF HIS RESCUE FROM A PER-
MOUS POSITION.

LONDON-John L. Cope, leader
of the British Antarctic expedition
which is setting out in June, in the
course of a lecture told the following
story of a thrilling experience he had
while a member of the Shackleton eX-
pedition marooned on Ross Island IN
1916:
"While leading three men over
dangerous glacier failed to notice
crevice which was almost covered
with snow. Suddenly l felt the snow
beneath my feet, and fell headlong.
Happily my comrades saw me dlsap-
pear and promptly started to pull on
the sledge ropes.
These held, and l found myself sus-
pended~over a bottomless pit. L was
about twenty feet down, and was be-
ing held by the sledge harness, which
was around my chest and shoulders. |
dangled helpless.
about ten feet below my feet the
opening suddenly widened until could
not see the sides of the crevasse.
Huge columns of ice, many of them
of the wierdest shape, were sticking
out, some blue in color others OF a
whitish pink tinge.
Ice and Darkness
81 tried to look down, but below me,
as far as | could see, there was moth
ing but ice and darkness. Now and
again the roar of ice falling down
the sides of the crevasse reached me,
sounding like distant thunder.
after what seemed hours OF wait
ing, | heard a voice calling me from
above, and looking up saw the face
of one of the men of my party, Are
you all right, he asked, peering over
the edge of the crevasse.
eyes | replied, but | cannot get
up. I'm hung here Hang on then,
he shouted, well make rope lad
der. And while l continued hanging
there, the two men on the ice above
set to work to make the ladder.
"While l was thus suspended my
mits fell from my hands, and very
soon l was half frozen. watched
the mits falling, glancing off columns
of ice, till they disappeared from
sight. At last the ladder was lower
ed down, but my hands were SO froz-
en- that could feel nothing.
Sense of Touch Gone
81 swung about till my feet touched
the rope, and l caught hold of it. But
nv sense of touch was gone, and
had to look to see if l was clutching
the rope before l dared trust myself
to start climbing.
Swinging backwards and for
wards over the pit, | climbed higher
and higher, and as neared the top
the harness which had held me ny
fell from my shoulders. If l Slipped
nothing could save me from being
dashed to pieces on the ice.
II shouted to the men asking then
to lower the harness to reach me, fOl
| was so cold that l could not climE
further, and my legs would not reacf
far enough to reach the rungs Of
the ladder.
"They lowered the loop of my har
ness till l was able to push my leg
through it, and, half sitting on this
and gripping the rope ladder, l was
literally hauled on the icefield again
We continued our journey after l haC
been hanging over the bottomless pit
for three and half hours"

ATTACKS RECORD
OF Nine LEADER
Director of Miners In South
western Field Scores
National President.

y
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The case
of the bituminous coal industry OF
the FIVE states comprising the
southwestern field were laid before
the coal strike settlement commits
sion Thursday by representatives of
the operators and OF the United
Mine Workers districts involved.
AS spokesman for all operators in
the field. H. \. Taylor, president Of
the National Coal sso cia tt o n
launched an attack on what he de-
scribed as the black and rotten
record" of union leadership in the
southwestern mines that precipitat-
ed "A controversy between himself
and John l. Lewis, acting president
Of the United Mine Workers of
America Union heads have infict-
ed economic loss and even power
" upon the willing worker in the
mines" by calling useless strikes, "
mostly of a wildcat variety" Mr..
Taylor declared There were 364
strikes in the Kansas district alone
in 1918 which cost the miners in
lost wages S1,64+,000, ne added.
Lewis Takes Exception.
Mr.. Lewis took exception to Mr..
Taylor's term of wild cat strikes
and declared the record should be
cleared as 10 the precise conuOta-
ton Of wild cat as used by Mr.. Tay-
lor.
Perhaps Mr.. Taylor has used the
term loosely" he said Il would
state that wild cat as accepted in
the parlance Of labor circles and I
believe elsewhere is properly "a term
to be applied only TO unauthorized,
irresponsible walkOuts called in viO-
lation Of contract agreements. As
Mr.. Taylor has laid the responsi-
bility for these strikes upon the
union heads, 1 think the inconsisten-
cy should be cleared"
Present Demands.
Mr. Taylor rejoined that inasmuch
as the strikes had been called In
spite Of the existence Of the sup
posedIy strike-proof contracts be
tween operators and miners he still
believed he was right in his choice
Of terms. He added that he be-
lieved the miners in the south west
ern field did not need an increased
wage scale as much as an 'unmo-
Tested opportunity 10 work tho tack
Of which could not in justice be
balanced against the present scale
Representative Of the mine work
ers' unions presented a number Of
demands designed primarily 20 place
wages and working conditions on "a
uniform level within the feId. Chief
among the demands were that the
cost of moving loaded and empty
cars 20 and from the working base
be assumed by the operator at all
mines. and that miners be paid FOR
time lost by the rising of water in
the mines.
