Cadillac works have not pro- duced a car which equals 1t The added exterior beauties are plainly apparent-but the greater beauties are those which await you in an ease of control and a softness of operation beyond our ability to describe.
 The car has accomplished prodigies of long, hard travel, with an absence of even the most usual adjustment.
 Even while our eyes are fixed on a Cadillac steadily and progressively improving, we cannot help feeling that there has been attained, Tn this Cadillac, a secure supc- riority which Is reward enough for a lifetime of jealous labor.
 And that is what this Cadil- lac actually represents the life-work of the same group of craftsmen, giving today, as they have for years, the very best that Is in them to make a greater and greater Cadillac.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Strong for Underwood

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I read with great pleasure the splendid article by Hugh w. Roberts in recent issue of The Age-Herald, on Senator Un- derwood, and Chairman Hooper's state ment about the way MT. Underwood IS appreciated by the conservative people in both parties is absolutely true. The consensus of opinion of the best thinking men is that he is the strongest man in either party, and the most desirable one for the presidency.
 Regarding the senatorial race, it's re- garded as joke outside of Alabama that any one would attempt to run against a tried and true statesman like Mir. JJnderwo ood, and expect to be elected on a dead issue, when the public knows that giving them the benefit of every doubt and measuring them by everything that they have ever done or claimed to do, politically speaking, their over ccat is too small to make watch noclcet for a statesman like MT. Under wood. who has a record of service rem dered and not promises of what he hopes to do. CHAHLfAS SomrS 1noo M hn'

WAGE FARLEY IS
 ID BE EXTENDED
Several Important Differ ences Still Remain to Be
 Considered
By AssoeIatsd Prs..


 Washington. February Wage in crease negotiations between Director General Hines and representatives of 2,OOo,OOo union railroad employees prom ised tonight to extend well into next week.
 While no official view was expressed, it was understood several important differences" remained to be considered.
 Some union officials were said to be chafing under the delay, having ex- pected a definite proposal yesterday. This, MT. Hines was unable to do, be- cause he could not complete the plan which was to be offered. The union leaders met again late today, but still had not received the proposition, it was understood.
 The employees representatives, how ever, apparently feel they cannot Lkess their case too strongly, as they were invited to the conferences on MT. Hines motion. He was not obligated to call them her5 it was said. As he had called the conference, most of the union heads felt that the spirit of fairness should not be abused.
 Leaders of both parties to the confer / ence zeaiously guarded the exact pro posals which have come before them. Railroad administration officials said they were not prepared to give the pub lie a concrete expression and employees representatives maintained their silence, pointing out that MT. Hines could easily have lodged them until after March | when the roads go back to private con trol, if he so desired.
 Many local unions have communicated with their representatives here, urging that the continued high cost of living be kept consistently before the government officials. Some leaders, however, are reluctant to call up that argument con tinuously at this time because of the possibilities in the present situation of foreign exchange, it was declared. Those few believe a decided drop may come soon and they prefer to await the out come of the new condition.
