Consider for moment what hap
pens when the car is started into
motion from stardstili. At frs;
the speed is zero. then il is infinitely
small. and gradually increases. Now
there is n minimum speed at which
Inc gas engine will run without
stallinE: So. in addition to giving
ing and for starting. an ARRANGEMENT
must also be made which will rCr-
init the engine to revolve many
times faster than the rear wheels
This is not only true whcr starting
the car. but also In traffic, as there

revolutions in II minute. Il speed too
SLOW for the engine.
,Fortunately. gear: in addition 10

as the car is travelling at this aver

there must be additional sets IN the

gears must also be arranged so that
the operator can choose the one
which he desires to use.

nose of the trans n ission was to give

Climbing and for starting. and also
TO give car speed is so slow that
the engine. which has minimum

Let us therefore slide the gear J

gears as above. We will then get

Acceptable ble-Advises Sup

WILL FIGHT TO DEATH
fRg Associated Presa)

WASHINGTON. May GA modi
fed form OF federal regulation Of the
meat packing companies is not op-
posed by the industry, Thomas E.
Wilson. of Chicago, president of the
American Institute of Meat Packers,
declared today before house commit
tee holding hearings ON regulatory
legislation.
Mr.. Wilson said that the original
proposal for regulation, arising after
the federal trade commission reports
on the industry in 1918, would be op-
posed by the packers Ito the last be-
cause they might as well die fighting
as die of slow strangulation." He add
ed, however. that bill placing the in
dustry under supervision of the de-
partment of agriculture alone might
be acceptable.
Advises Compromise
"A regulatory measure of this
kind he said, with the secretary of
agriculture as the regulating author
Haugen bill which congress consid-
cred last session as a substitute for
the type of packer legislation pro-
posed in the senate, would be in my
judgment a compromise upon which
we all could get together"
1T is mistake to think that pack
ers oppose all regulative legislation
because we in the industry are ready
10 accept any form of regulation un-
der which we can live, but in view of
the present economic conditions,
do not think that congress should i'm
pose any of the harsher restrictions
that have been proposed in some of

Mr.. Wilson said
Mr. Wilson, who said he spoke for
the 200 packing companies which com
prise the membership of the institute.
told the committee that legislation of
the sort proposed would simply serre
TO divert the largest single industry in
America from energetic efforts to ad-
just itself to a changed and difficult
situation. The result, he said, would
be quite as harmful to the live stock
producers as to the packing industry
itself, as the inte' est of the producers
is so closely interviewer with that OF

a principle is prohibited by federal
law"
