eWhat did l tell your
Workers Tired of
Stopping Bullets
For the Oligarchs

While President Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor, and in
fact it's executive board, have issued
a strong statement against the direct
means Of preventing war now becOm-
ing so popular in Europe, there are
signs that organized labor on this side
of the water will not be proof against
the idea.
Organized labor Of important Euro
pean countries, in a great meeting held
recently at Amsterdam, decided to use
direct action against war. The fac
tory workers would refuse to make the
munitions, the railroad men would re-
fuse to transport them, and if they got
to the seaport docks by any other
means the dock workers and sailors
would refuse to help them toward the
destination agreed upon by the politi-
clans. -"ts
Recently the association Of machin-
lists, in a convention at Rochester.
N. Y, adopted the following resolu-
ton:
Modern var are fought with ma
chinery created and fashioned by ma
chinists and related craftsmen in all
countries, who, in the light of recent
events, must bear the responsibility
for future vars. We believe this
power used wisely will do more to
abolish val than the statesmen and
diplomats" ....s ..~
The conservatives will argue that
for labor to refuse to handle munitions
is to set aside representative govern
ment and a great case can be made
out on that score to the effect that if
peoples do not want war they should
elect officials who will represent them
rather than the war %profiteering in
terests. On the other hand, European
labor argues that it can not displace
the ruling class governments in time
to save Europe from absolute ruin by
war, and that after all is said and
done the conservation of human life
and the restoration of normal living
are the supremely important things.

LIBERTY COMPANY
 CELEBRATE FOURTH
 BIRTHDAY IF LAR

Liberty Motor Car company officials, stockholders and employees are cele- brating the fourth birthday of the Liberty "6", which has made an un- usually remarkable record of progress since its beginning in Detroit a few years ago. In the early winter of 1916. when the company was forming, it was decided that the first Liberty Six should make its official public appear ance il July, -coincident with the anni- versary of the birth of the United States. Accordingly Liberty people re- gard the present month as doubly sig
 Tn April, 1916. the first Liberty ex- perimentaI cars were ready, according to Percy Owen, president of the com pany, who tells of their being put through the stiffest tests imaginable. All tests failed to phase the driving of the car, so carefully had the engineers constructed their machine. Then came the naming the car. 'Libertys be- ing a word on the lips of all mankind, due to the great war, was chosen Within year afterward, with the United States in the conflict, the word had still stronger meaning.
 In order to perfect the body style, sometimes called the .sstreamIine " which has been observed in many other cars since the Liberty adopted it, an interesting series of models was made -lt1ol Oti Pdpcis dilQ lllidDs with full size clay models.

answer to another. Wi. the prices go down?"
 IL does no. appear that a decrease is likely.
 Manufacturing genius which has about reached its limit has kept down the cost to the tire user. The standard manufacturer has combated price in creases by developing his processes. He has expended millions Of dollars in the Installation of new machinery, better machinery and new methods. He has brought his output up to maximum and has made his profits on a quantity margin. He has smashed overhead ex- penses by use Of these weapons and by putting his distribution on such a
 Output has about reached it's zenith So long as demand continues strong there is a possibility that tire prices will remain on their present level. But if general determination to hold it is more than probable that such an attitude would tend to create a reverse effect to the one desired and send tire prices rocketing.
 An illustration of the surprising facts recited here may be obtained from the following table of price com parisons compiled recently by lead 1 ing tire and rubber company. Although this table, of course, shows only the quotgtions of that particular company, l it may be accepted as an average be- cause the company is considered one of the leaders in the industry and is a standard manufacturing cornern. l

OWNERS PUZZLED
 BY RIM CUTTING

Motorists are often puzzled at the reason for their tires rim cutting. Especially are they surprised at this when the rims are in good condition. Ordinarily underinflation is held solely to blame But there is an important contributing cause--side sway.
 Sudden turning of the car throws an abnormal strain on the side walls or the tires. Occasionally this side sway is sufficient to rupture the fabric. In the majority of cases, the trouble IS noticed close to the bead or edge Of the tire where the fabric strands are anchored.
 If the injury is neglected chafing begins. Then, according to Miller tire and tube experts, strand after strand is weakened. The result is blowout
 It is a simple matter to prevent this condition. All that is required IS a tire guage. that proper pressure may be maintained, and little care against suddenly swerving around corners. Even after trouble has begun prompt action in taking the injured casing to a tire surgeon for repair will greatly prolong its life.

TIRE PRICES WILL
 CLIMB, ACCORDING
 ID LATEST SURVEY

Car owners who are holding back on the purchase of tire equipment in the hope of reduction in prices are likely to be disappointed. There is nothing in the tire misunderstanding situation to indicate a downward trend of tire costs. On the contrary, a break that
 will necessarily mean the advancing of
 prices seems inevitable.
 A resume of the tire industry and the conditions under which it has devel-
 oped in the last decade, causes the
 casual observer to wonder, in fact. that
 tire prices have not already begun to climb steadily.
 Unless one studies carefully the un deflying reasons for the successful checking of tire prices in the face of overwhelming advances in virtually every other commodity, it is rather amazing to note that prices now are much lower than they were ten years ago It is still more interesting to compare prices of standard manufac- ture tires today with prices of the same product at the beginning of the war Good tires now cost no more than in 1914. There has not even been an appreciable advance in the last two years. And yet the quality is higher
 and the purchased gets more value for
 his money than ever before. When one considers that prices of
 raw material, labor and transportation have made more tremendous leaps in the last five years than during any pe
 riod in manufacturing history the nat ura1 query concerning the manufacture CTS is, How do they hold down the | prices?"

 An item of unusual interest to auto mobile and tire dealers is the fact that starting Monday the local depot of the Firestone Tire and Rubber company
 will be a direct factory branch. Hith- erto it has been under the manage ment of the Los Angeles branch of the company. This step is occasioned by the rapidity with which the demand for Firestone products has taken place in Phoenix and in Arizona. With the in- creased facilities to meet this demand,
 the company has appointed E. R. Van Pelt formerly of Salt Lake City, as
 branch manager. Starting with the
