Captain Headley himself came
forward at the close Of the fifth
contest with the name of a man
shown on the honor roll whom the
traffic head, by personal knowledge,
considers at least the peer of any
motorist shown on the Roll OF
Honor. This extra-fortunate driver
is Fred J. White. of 1870 Seven
teenth street northwest, head of a
southwest iron works. He is de-
nominated II Capt. Headley as "a
man who never drives with his
horn" The phrase creating an apt
distinction between persons who
avoid trouble by careful operation
Of their machines and those who
are constantly in difficulties and
must have recourse to their warn
ing devices.
"Mr. White is a driver of years
experience" said Capt. Headiey,
and has profited by every month
OF it."
The success of the novel cam
paign conducted by the Washing
ton Herald lies of course in tie
competitive principle and in the a6-
solute fairness of selection on the
part of the crossing police acting
as judges. They select only by
numbers; the names are secured by
the Automobile Editor.

WAVE.
is TIRE KILLER
Continual Rolling Uphill N,
Expands Elastic Portion
Of Shoe.

A curious thing about tires is
that they continually roll up hin.
This is due to what is scientifically
termed Traction wave" but what
is popularly called bulge" Both
terms mean the expansion OF that
portion of the elastic carcass of the
tire. which by weight and forward
pull is forced just ahead OF road
contact.
In motion the tire is continually
attempting to run over this traction
wave which just ahead always
eludes II incidentally under-in-
fation increases the wave.
On plain tread the wave runs
round and round and round the tire.
But a tread design with a back kbone
ribbed or Cogged has been found
effective in dividing and in throw
ing it on each side. according to
Miller tire men.

TnesHoH Oun
Lubricant; No
Need of Oiing
Fabric Like Human Body in
Meeting Needs Of Wear
And Tear.

Why does the motorist never oil
his tires? Road wear, chahng and
constant licking would seem to de-
mand oiling. Automobile bearings
and all working parts Of car are
oiled against friction. Why not oil
for a tire?
The fabric carcass OF the tire Is
much like the human body. For one
thing it is self-lubricating during
its life. The breaker strip is its
back bone. Plies Of fabric are the
ribs, and the rubber between them,
like muscles, hold all parts together.
The fabric carcass gives strength
and shape. Friction gum is the
lubricant.
Like the human body the tire may
look good on the outside but be
shot" inside. Its greatest enemy
is underinfation. Abusive treat
rnent causes so much bending, fex-
Ing and chshng, that the carcass, in
spite of It's enormous strength, is
anable eventually to bear up and Is
broken and torn.
Ia the fabric tire, the carcass Is
constructed Of interviewer strands
Of cotton. Fabric is built-up layer
upon layer. each thoroughly inpres-
mated with rubber. The number Of
these plies, each Of which is cush-
Ioned, depends upon the size Of the
easing. The earliest successful tire
was a fabric, according to the Miller
Rubber Company. Akron, Ohio.

Following the rejection by the.
Anthracite Coal commission of the
documentary evidence submitted by
the Mine Workers to show the secrets
of the industry which the operators
have fought for two weeks to sup
press, w. Jett Lauck, consulting eco
nomist for the United Mine Workers
Of America has summarized the first
OF these documents for the public.
It relates to the costs, prices and
profits of the hard coal business. The
Lauck summary prepared as q state
ment Of facts without deductions or
arguments is as follows:
II. The production Of anthracite
coal is fairly constant from year to
year, the variation from the maximum
to the minimum being in general less
than IL per cent. On the other hand.
the number Of employees in the indus
try fluctuates greatly from year to
year, the pre-war number being close
to 10000 while during the war the
number dropped to 147,00o in 1918,
~. In order to obtain the re-
quisite production with a fluctuatinx
number Of employees, the mines are
obliged to keep open fluctuatinx
number. MUM Of days per year, and SO
when the number Of employees drop.
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1920-07-24

ped during the war, the mines had
to be worked an abnormal number of
days per year.
"3. Thus the number of employee
days, that is the number of employees
multiplied by the average number of
days worked, is fairly constant, vary
ing directly with the production, and
in substantially the same degree.
~. The old, pre-war number OF
employees is returning to the industry,
the. number in. 1919 being 5000
greater than In 1918. It is manifest.
therefore, that the days worked to be
expected In the future, with . con-
slant production and q rising number
Of employees, cannot be as great as
during the abonrmal years Of 1917.
1918, and even 1919.
''5. The earnings, therefore, of the
employees during these abnormal years
can form no criteria as to earnings
that may be expected during the fu-
ture, because the opportunity afforded
for work will be- less than was af-
forded during 1917 to 1919. In all
probability, the average number Of
days worked that. may be expected
In the future. Is around 40 per year.

Of ensuring suitable yearly earnings
with this limited opportunity to work.
IS. The value of anthracite coal
has increased much more than have
wage rates. Since 1912 the value of
the product per ton at the mine mouth
has increased up to 1919 a little over
102 per cent, while the wage rate
to the miner has increased only 49.8
per cent, so to raise the wage rate
to the same proportional relationship
to tho value Of the product per ton
that it possessed In 1912 would ne
cessitate an increase amounting to -
per cent. il, 80 ~.@@ 49,
,'7. In other words, while the miner
produced coal in 1912 worth at the
mine mouth about: bA times his
wage, in 1919 it was worth about
seven times his wage. ;, r. -.:..rs@
"S. The margin Of sales realiza-
tion over total mine costs has; risen
during the past several years, show
Ing that the operator has not suf-
fered any loss himself due to in
creases given to the employees. This
margin, in spite Of the increase, is
still conservative and moderate, but

III. A large portion Of this recent
increase in retail prices, Of course,
has been made in anticipation Of an
Increase in wage rates resulting from
the award Of the United States Anth-
racite Coal commission, which award
will be retroactive to April 1, and If
this increase in retail prices proves
to be three times the increase in labor
costs at the mines, as was the case
above, it means that the. coal trade
expects an award that viii increase
the labor costs $3.50 per ton, which
II an increase OF II per cent over
the labor cost Of December, 1913.
"12. The labor cost ct the mines
forms only a little less than: one-quar-
ter Of the total retail price Of do
mestic coal in New. York city, and less
even than that Of the retaA price in
Boston. An increase in the wage
rates, therefore, that, would add so

same interests that own the mines,
through which the product is mark
eted, while a. third profit is obtained
through the freight rates charged by
the railroads. Inasmuch as the rail-
roads carrying the coal derive a. con-
siderable portion of their receipts
through the anthracite freight rates,
it is possible to conduct the purely
mining operations with a small mar

that there is one ownership Of the

UNIONS TO PASS

Skilled Laborers Advised to Give
That City Wide Berth, It's
Fighting Unions.

The Duluth Painters union has
sent out word to journeymen painters
to give Las Angeles a wide berth.
There is an open shop movement
there in which the master painters
are taking part. They are adver-
tising extensively for non-union paint
ers.
In a circular received in Duluth the
Master House Painters and Decora-
tors association declares it had
adopted governing plan of action
such as importing labor to the city,
opening clearing house for labor
establishing ways and means to as
slst union master painters to open
their shops by furnishing non-union
labor, stabilizing prices and meas
urements, cooperation not competi-
ton, checking up estimates and fin
ally to make the customer pay for
time consumed in estimating by add
ing five per cent to every estimate
and to pay into the association one
per cent on all successful bids. The
unsuccessful bidder will receive pay
ment for his time.
From the above it Will be seen that
the Los Angeles master painters are
endeavoring to establish a closed shop

cnarse their customers for work they
heretofore have given freely, but they
would have the labor situation so that

Editor Of Miners Journal De-
'c!ares They lire Re-SeI|hg
Il at Big Profit. -:

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 1s.-Be-
cause of the opportunity to make gi-
gantic profits from the present high
prices in bituminous coal, the rail-
roads of the country are gobbling up
practically all Of the coal that is pro-
duced and are reselltng it to dealers.
according to reports which. have been
received at the headquarters Of the
United Mine Workers Of America, in
this city. Ellis Searles. editor of the
United Mine Workers Journal, said
that trustworthy information is to the
effect that the railroads assign prac-
tically all available coal cars to mines
with which they have contracts for
coal and these mines work steadily
while other mines on their lines are
able to work only one or. two days
week owing to a lack of cars.
According to. thes reports" Mr..
Searles said, "the railroads take all
Of this coal. They are not burning
it nor are they storing it, but they
are reselling it at a huge profit. Mines
that have no contracts for railroad
coal get but few. cars and that fact
largely accounts for the scarcity Of
free coal on the market, according
to our information. BY such plan
the railroads not only make profit
on hauling the. coal but they can
make an outrageous, profit on the re-
sale. And by refusing to allow other
mines to have cars they. compel the
public to buy the coal which they
sell and at outrageous prices.
