Appoints Receiver
To Rum Plants OF
Bethlehem Motors
Federal Judge Takes Action
to Md Creditors i'm Re-
covca'ing; Cancellations
Hit Truck Manufacturers

B. Clinton Woods. who for three
months has been acting as general
manager of the Bethlehem Motors Cor
poration, was yesterday appointed re-
ceiver of the company by Judge Dickin-
son in the United States District Court
in Philadelphia. According to a state
ment made by interests here associated
with the corporation, the application
tor receivership was made by Keck &
Bro, of Allentown, Pa. The receivers
bond was fixed at $4,000.
The application was made in Fed
eral equity suit, instituted at the con-
fercnces among the principal creditors
of the corporation, and with the ap-
proVal Of the officers and directors of
the company. which admitted the allie
cations of the bill in equity and joined
in the request for the appointment Of
show that although the defendant cor
poration has assets, which at a fair
valuation are greater than the labili-
ties, it lacks sufficient liquid funds to
meet its Immediately maturing obliga.
tlons. The appointment of an equity
receiver was asked for the purpose Of
preserving the business and maintain-
ing the plant as a going concern. 1t
was indicated that stockh olders and
otnerS QirectlN interested IN the cor
poration are formulating plans for a
reorganization of the Corporation,
which is engaged in the manufacture
Of motor trucks, and which was hard
hit by cancellations which followed
period Of expanded inventories.
Under Mr. Woods direction the
plant has increased its production
schedules, it is said, until in the pres
ent month the output of the corpora
tion is at the highest point yet at
tanned. Men identified with the corpo-
rations affairs attribute the present
embarrassment to the fact that the
amount of money spent during the last
year in building and developing plants
at Allentown and PottstoWn, Pa, left
insufficient working capital, and that
the present stringent conditions in
the money market made it impossible
for the company to finance itself ade-
quate,y at this time, in spite of the
fact that its plants are unencumbered
by mortgage. Sponsors of the corpo-
ration feel that much of the pioneer
work Of the company has been COM
pleted, and that it is now in q posi-
tion where its trucks can be proftably
manufactured and sold.
1t was unot4iciallv stated that liabili-
ties arc approximately SO 100000 and
the assets, exclusive of good will and
deferred expenses, approximately 81
900000 and that there are "substan-
tial" untitled orders on hand. Henry,
Pepper, Bodine & Stokes, of Philade-
phia, appeared as counsel for the COM
plainant, and Moses & Singer, of New
York, as counsel for the corporation.

An the open market it is noted that

In the minds OF many trade leaders,
not only IN finished apparel but in tex
lies in general. there is q strong be-
lief that the dav OF low class merchan-

The trend toward high quality is eX-
nlsined by the fact that high wages
during the last few years have enabled
wanv consumers whose incomes for

MACHINES FOR THE HARD WORK.

The saving that necessity is the mother of in

fore the United States has depended upon Europe
for its supply of unskilled labor to do the hard
manual work connected with mining, coke-m making,
ditch-d digging railroad grading track-layng and
to farming. The first year in which more
than 100000 immigrants admitted in
1905 when 1925 99 arrived. In 1913 and 1914. the
two years immediately preceding the war, total
of 2416.372 arrived. The total for 1915. 1916 and
1917 amounted To only 92O.929
Not only has the supply of unskilled foreign lab
fallen much below the average during the last
FIVE years. but there have been within this period
two developments which have absorbed the domestic
supply of both skilled and unskilled labor into vr

More Truth
Than Poetry
BY JAMES ]. MONTAGUE

OLD CLOTHES WEEK.
Time was, when a coat that ad-
mitted the breeze.
When winter blew bitterly chilly,
And a peek-a-boo shoe, with a toe
leaking through,
Were the badge of the Wander
ing Willie
Whenever you saw on the comedy
stage
4 man with a countenance glum,
And utterly shy Of a collar or tie,
You knew him forthwith for
bum.
The water dog, alert for a chance TO
display
His zeal for a punitive quarrel.
Would leap on the lad that was
shabbily clad
With a meaning and menacing
snarl.
He judged OF man by the clothes
that he wore.
Increasing. with righteous delight
The fluttering rags on the persons
OF vags,
Ana mostly his judgment was
right.
But now when a man with a rim1ess
straw hat
Aslant on an unbarbered egg.
A shirt that reveals many traces
OF meals,
And trousers that lack half a leg.
Comes sauntering past, il is best 10
withhold
Our taunts or derisions or jeers.
For the chances are strong that he's
one OF the throng
That's enlisted TO fight profiteers.
The butcher, the baker, the limou-
sine maker
The grocer, the millionaire,
Appear on parade every morning ar
rayed
In the garments the DO used TO
wear.
And Wandering William deprived or
the means
OF keeping himself in apparel.
Must stick in the shame of his leaf
laden glade,
Or borrow a box or a barrel
