RELIEF BILL
CONGRESS ASKED TO DISCUSS
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING

Washington, d. c., May 24.-In
the hope that some legislation can be
passed to authorize collective bar
gaining by farmers before congress
adjourns or recesses for the political
conventions, Representative Volstead
of Minnesota, is seeking rule for the
house to give immediate considera-
tion to his bill providing for the re-
lief sought by the American farmer
generally.
Volstead's bill, in the drafting of
which Republican Boies, of the
Eleventh Iowa district, was called in
for consultation on the legal phrases,
is a compromise and is intended to
remove some of the objections to the
Capper-Harsman bill, which was in
troduced in both the senate and the
house months ago, but which has
been tabled in both houses because
of the pronounced opposition.
Before presenting the measure,
Representative Volstead discussed
the subject of collective bargaining
with representatives of various far
mers' organizations, having head
quarters here, and it was his purpose
to write the legislation as nearly aa
possible in harmony with their views
He does not expect the bill to pass
without amendment, but he believes
1t is so drafted that the various fac
tions in and out of congress can gel
together on it as q basis.
Farmers have been demanding col,
lective bargaining legislation fol
many years. There is some doubt as
to whether such bargaining is mo-
prohibited by the Clayton anti-trus
act. The Volstead bill does not pro
! pose to repeal any portion of thu
| Clayton act. 1t merely states that tn,
provisions of this measure shall stant
ANY law to the contrary notwith
standing"
The Volstead bill authorizes "far
mers, planters, ranchmen, dairymel
and fruit growers" to organize "cor
porate or otherwise" and with o
without capital stock, in collectiv
processing. preparing for market
handling and marketing in interstat
and foreign commerce, such product
of their members" Organizations S
formed are authorized to make cor
tracts.

Breaks Her
Fathers Will

Sioux Falls, May 24.-Miss Elean-
ore Anderson, employed in a bank at
Lake Norden, won her contest to
break the will of her father, the late
John Anderson, a pioneer resident of
Kingsbury county, who left an estate
valued at 100000. The estate con-
sists of two sections of valuable farm
land, much personal property and
cash and securities to a considerable
amount.
The heirs consisted of the widow
and>nine children, four boys and five
girls. BY the terms of the will the
farm land was all given to the four
boys; the money and securities 10
the widow, except lump sum OF
$4,000 to each of the girls. The boys,
by the terms of the will, were obliged
to pay $500 cash annually into pool
to go to the widow as long as she
lives.
Eleanore Anderson contested the
will on the ground of mental incom-
petence on the part of her father
when he executed the will, undue in
fluence and improper declaration oil
the document.

Grain Spelling Due
To Shortage of Cars

Austin, Tex, May ga shortage
of $3.50 cars to move grain said to
be spelling at points in the Pan
handle due to lack of storage was re-
ported today in the interstate COM

way commission. Congestion of $500
car loads of grain at Galveston also
was reported.

SUPREME COURT
RULES ON PLANT
OPINION HOLDS BONDS FOR AN
ELECTRO-HYDRO SYSTEM CAN
BE ISSUED WITHOUT VOTE

Pierre, May 24.-On account of the
ment under the constitutional amend
fent adopted at the last election, Gov
ernor Norbeck called upon the SUI
preme court for an opinion as to what
is included in that amendment so far
as limitations of Indebtedness and
taxation is concerned.
In reply to his request, the court,
in a statement signed by all the
Judges, holds that the amendment
was meant for development of hydro
electrical power, with all the require
ments which go with it; that the
amendment eliminated all other liml-
tations of the constitution as to in
debtedness, SO far as hydro-electric
development is concerned, other than
that of a two-thirds vote of the legls-
lature to authorize any expenditure
which may be required to carry out
the plan.
This will open the way for the leg
islature at the special session, II two
thirds of the members see fit, to pro-
vide for funds without submitting
their action to a vote of the people.
The procedure would no doubt be
in the way of authorizing the issue
of bonds to carry on the work, but
under the recommendations of the en-
gineers, which has been approved by
the hydro-electric commission. the ac-
tive work would no doubt be, sus-
pended until business conditions are
more normal and steady than they
| are at the present time.

Most Logical Market

c. H. Rockwell, ce-president of the

At that time we had what might we'll

after careful consideration OF
the methods open to us and after
consultation with our dealers we Sc
lected the newspapers as the medium
we would employ and since early last
spring we have confined our publicity
efforts to the newspapers. The copy
run has been local in appeal, but the
results obtained have been national in
scope. We have, therefore. obtained
two distinct-results from one type of
advertising campaign.
AT recent meeting of our dealers
to consider plans for 1920 the decision
was reached that we would continue
our 1919 plans throughout this year.
Tim eliness and the ability to control
the story we were telling have been
important benefits. We have been
able to make announcements Of news
interest at moments notice and to
time our story in such manner that all
parts of the country were hearing the

n.ltely the relation which the entry or

zation. - ""'-
MIR. WHY'S was the only speaker OF
the evening.
Of cS%mm1entiqg %a1,sn g upon the appointment
vice-president of ali of the Willvs in

polntment of Mr.. Chrysler will in no
way affect the management of the
wlllys-Over]and Company, in Toledo,
under First Vice-President Clarence A.
Earl, who is in charge of that branch
OF the WHY'S industries.
Mr.. WHY'S said: ~ want at the out
set to anticipate any idea that might
arise in anybody's mind that the ap-
polntment IN any way affects Mr. Earls
position: Mr.. Chrysler's headquarters
wlll be in New York, and his appoint
ment is made necessary in order that
l may get some relief from the burdens
under which l have been laboring in
handling the executive end of my vari-
Gus GU industries, and I am highly graft
fed to be able to add to my organiza-
ton such a man as Mr.. Chrysler and
in this feeling. I am happy to say, nv
entire organization joins with me.
Under the contemplated plans the
Willys-Overland plant will be larger
than ever before, and the task that is
before Mr.. Earl, in his administrative
capacity, will be larger and more de-
manding than in the past
Ihe vast expansion that, is under
way makes it necessary for me to sur
round myself, at my executive head
quarters, with men whose duties shall
be as comprehensive as all the inter
ests involved, and it is not my plan to
in any way interfere with or upset ex
isting organizations in any unit.
II make this announcement because
OF the high regard and keen apprecia-
tion have for all that Mr.. Earl's con-
nection with the Overland plant has
meant to me in the last two years, and
by reason of the high standing that he
has among the executives in the auto

Solving the Problem
OF Few Freight Cars
Oakland Factory ''Rolls Its
Own" Trains to Transport
Motor Car Shipments

Deliveries made with Oakland roll
ing stock is the unusual service that
the manufacturers Of the Sensible Six
are now giving their distributors and
dealers in the Middle West, with plans
for its eventual extension to include
the principal cities along the Atlantic
seaboard and intermediate points on
the route East.
This service was started three years
ago, when the Oakland Company pur-
chased a train Of fat cars to make
trips between the factory at Pontiac
and the Chicago branch. Two years
ago the travelling equipment of circus
was used for shipping cars into the
Northwest while the menagerie was
in winter quarters.
In the fall Of 1919 the Oakland Com
pany purchased a second train and
permanently double-decked the fiat
cars. Up to the present time, the sec
ond Oakland owned train has been MAX
ing deliveries exclusively in the West,
running to Kansas City, Omaha and
Minneapolis. 1t is the intention of
the company, however, to route the
special East in the future in order to
increase and speed shipments to
branches, distributors and dealers in
the New York, Boston, Philadelphia,
Buffalo, Cincinnati and indianapolis
territories

Dodge Brothers, Car Sets
1OO,OOO-Mile Record

Oil and gas wells have habit of
springing up without regard to roads
and accessibility. Because their prod
uct is carried to centrally located
storage tanks by extensive pipe line
systems, good roads are impractical,
and the individual wells are connected
to the pioneer roads by footpaths
which change their character with the
season.
Under such conditions, William Blum,
one Of the district field uperintendents
Of the Logan Natural Gas and Fuel
Company. large Ohio producer, drove
the same Dodge Brothers motor car
more than 100000 miles in little more
than three years. Even under the best
conditions, such record would be
unique, as the distance covered is more
than the average owner will drive in
ten years.
Blum's duties carried him through
eight Ohio counties, where the roads
become almost impossible mud during
the fall and spring.

Used Car Value
Vital to Buyer
Hudson Sets Standard, SAYS
HouPt, by Eliminating Costly
YEARLY Chances

1T is only few years ago that au-
foaaoIole, fomoolle styles and designs changed as
Harry S: Houpt, Essex and Hudson
dealer. "Six months after its purchase
a car was out of date and would com
mand only fraction of it's first cost
when put on the market for resale.
I'm those days it was a common saw
ing, that the depreciation of an auto
mobile was approximately go per cent,
or more than half Of it's cost, the first
year. Manufacturers then were bring
ing out new models every year, and
therefore the depreciation of the mod
els already out was unnecessarily
heavy.
Hudson engineers decided that such
system not only was unnecessary, but
that it was unfair to the motoring pub
lie. AS result, Hudson cars have not
undergone single radical change since
the announcement Of the Super-Six and
Hudsons command high resale values,
