TRADES COUNCIL
 TO TAKE POLITICS
 UP NEXT MEETING
A. F. of L. Request for Central Committee Made Order
 of Day.
BREWERS ASK PLACE
Also Want Candidates Quizzed . on Attitude Toward
 Prohibition.

The appointment of central com m1ttee to carry on the proposed non- partisan political work put forth by the American Federation of Labor for this year, will be made the special order of the day at o:30 o'clock on the night of the next meeting of the New Haven Trades Council, it was formally voted at the meeting of the Council, held on Thursday night last. The Federation committee had sent request that spe- cial meetings of all central labor bodies throughout the country be held on March 2 at which these committees shoud be chosen and the work started.
 While the request stipulated March tent more than the date was probably the idea, and Suggested that the matter could be made the special order of the day at the next meeting. On motion of the Brewery Workers delegates 1t was so ordered and the hour set for o:30.
 In connection with the plan communi- cations were received from the Brewery Workers International headQuarters telling that that body was endeavoring to have inserted in the questionnaire to be sent out, query on the candidates stand on the prohibition question and suggesting that the locals endeavor to get member of their organization on the central committee. The question naire request will be taken up at the April meeting of the A. F. of L. com mittee in Indianapolis. The brewery workers local efforts will become part of the doings at the next Trades Coun- Gil meeting.
 The meeting was addressed by Mich oA1 1f II Il.< ters who strongly urged more general demand for the label not only in his goods but in all lines. He especially spoke of the tobacco labels and told some narrowing details of conditions, as he personally saw them "as a tourist and not as Labor man" i'll the tobacco shops where Bull Durham, Prince AL bert, Velvet and other non-union brands are made Under the Carolina law little children, with sponges over mouth and nose, are employed long hours and un- der filthy conditions putting up the to- bacco and aside from boosting the label these children should be protected for humanity sake, he said.
 Communications from the Washing ton Central Labor Union urging de- mands on the congressman to support the bills for carrying on the work of the Labor department cut out to stop Labor's activities, and protesting the cutting down the Federal employees unions members wages instead of rais- ing them as asked, were read and the secretary instructed to comply with the wishes. Articles, detailing the doings of Congress in these two matters will be found elsewhere in this issue.)
 An invitation from Local 4, Paint CTS, to send a delegation to a reunion to be held Saturday night was received and the president instructed to appoint such a delegation. He apointed Thomas Poll of the Typographical and Eugene Treiber of the Brewery Workers to at tend the affair.

Oxford Officials Still
on Warpath; Refuse to
Accept Mayors Employe

OXFORD, Ind, Feb. 5.-The village
council and Mayor Hughes continued
their wrangle last night over appoint
ments. 1t had been predicted that a
compromise would be reached, but
neither the mayor nor the majority of
council opposing him seems inclined to
give in. Council last night turned
down the bills of Walter Finley for
services as janitor of the village build
ing and sewer inspector. Council
previously refused to confirm the ap-
pointment of Finley, and the mayor
appointed him over councils head.
Council members say that Finley will
never draw a penny from the town,
and Mayor Hughes says he will get
every cent that's coming to him, and
the town will pay the costs in addi-
ton. Meanwhile Finley is still on both
jobs.

ployees, who were counting on a raise

it will have plenty of leisure to
handle all the business that comes it's
way.
The war introduced the American
automobile to the Englishman and
forced him to realize its desirable
qualities, even though he might find
much to criticize in it's general ap-
pearance.
The fact that an American car was
the only one that could be used in
Mesopotamia and that American cars
in France went where no other cars
could venture, was naturally we'll ad-
vertised among the troops and the
Tommies came home with a new re-
spect for the attributes of the Yankee
motor car.
American Agencies Thick.
On one street in London almost
every building Is occupied by agencies
for American motor cars. French
cars do not seem to have entered
the field to any extent, although
complaint is made here that the
French manufacturers have been able
to readjust their concerns and stimu-
late their output much more success
fully than the British.
Announcement that famous Eng
1ish motor car company is establish
ing a branch factory in the United
States was greeted with enthusiasm
by London business men.
1t has been felt that England should
retaliate on American aggressiveness
and should carry the trade war to
our own shores. but this was the first
definite step toward any move of that
kind to be taken by large and es-
| tablished concern.

AMERICAN AUTOS
FORCE WAY ONTO
BRITISH MARKET
nv MARY AENkE

LONDON, Jan. 20-American motor
cars are forcing their way on the
British market in spite of repeated
determination to discourage the use
of foreign automobiles and encourage
manufacture.
Other Yankee products. too, are
competing successfully with the Brit
ish made, although the rate of ex-
change is putting American exporters
decidedly at a disadvantage.
The moulders' strike, which has
been in progress for months and is
no nearer settlement than when it
started, is one reason for the situa-
ton.
Ever since the armistice was signed
British manufacturers have been ham,
pered by the difficulty met in obtain
ing required parts for their cars, and
consequently have had to shorten their
output.
While the press and commercial or
CARNATIONS are preaching British pro-
ducts for Britain and urging patron
age of local output, the labor situa-
ton has made it impossible for this
appeal to meet with anything like full
success.
The British cars that are on the
market are quickly snapped up, and
large premiums are paid for 1920
models. Old cars, of 1914 and 1915
models, bring extraordinary prices,
and many persons who bought up cars
in 1915 from men going to the front
have realized an excellent profit on
their purchase. Few old model cars
go for less than $1,000 and the new
style cars bring anything from $4,000
to $4,000.
Cheap Ones are Popular.
Popularity Of the cheap American
car abroad is directly the cause Of the
abnormal prices charged for the Brit
ish output. Appeals to trade patrio-
tism are met with the retort that a
man cannot afford to pay three prices
for car of home manufacture when
he can buy an imported car for what
is in comparison trifling cost. The
Britisher usually declares that he pre-
fers cars made in his own country
but that he cannot afford to buy
them.
Few Englishmen in moderate circum.
stances own their own cars, and pic
turesque but inefficient two wheeled
carts jog along over roads that would
be thick with automobiles in the
United States!
