S%PEEDOMETER HELPS
KEEP TRACK OF CAR
One Of Most Necessary Adjuncts
to Automobile.
When oeraneements Occur They Are
Easily and cheapIy Corrected
and Should Be Taken Care
Of for Protection.

1t is true that a car can be run with,
out a ~speedOmeter, but it as also true
that when it is so run, 1t is like a ship
without a log-book and like a business
without accounts.
To the careful and prudent motorist
the speedometer, and especially the
mileage recording part of it, is essen
tial to enable him to keep track of the
performance of his car. All too fire.
Quently, when n asks a motorist !:
How far has your car runT' the an
swer is: II don't know. The speedom-
eter e out Of commission early In
the season and I have not had 1t re-
paired" Speedometer shafts do oc-
c~asiOnally break and other things hap
pen to these instruments Once In a while,
but when these arrangements occur
they are easily and cheaply corrected
and should be taken care of at once
or valuable car records are irretriev-
ably lost.
Traffic officers regard with incredul-
ity the estimates of car speed given by
drivers whose speedometers are not
working. and there is always a GER
tain measure Of protection In having
speed indications always before ones
eyes when driving. The operator with
the brOken-down speedometer can
know nothing as to whether or not he
is getting his moneys worth out of
the gasoline he buys. He can only
guess as to this.
II is the same with his fabrication
oil. 1t may be that 1t is being thrown
away at a ruinOus rate. What can
such an operator know in regard to
the performance of his tires and how
can he make any definite complaint
to the tire dealer in case they seem
to have given satisfactory mIleagef
The fabrication Instructions very
likely state that his rear-axle housing
requires repacking after each 1000
miles of running, but how can he know
when to have this very necessary work
done? When he comes to sell his car
and the prospective customer asks how
far 1t has been run, what can the
owner do but give a very unconvincing
The odOIneter Is the silent account
ant of the motorcar. Give it a chance
to do Its valuable work?

AFFECTS 104RA|LROADS
ESTIMATED TO CUT S4oO, 600, 900
FROM OPERATING EXPENSES
REDUCTION AVERAGING u PER
CENT ORDERED BY U. S. RAIL
ROAD LABOR BOARD.


Chicago. June IAN estimated
S40O,000,00O will be slashed from the
nations railway wage bin when an or
der cutting wages an average of II per
cent, to be handed down by the United
States Railroad Labor Board, becomes
effective July /. The order affects
members of t~hirty-one labor ~organiza-
lions, employed on 1O4 railroads.
While the decrease is specifically
applied only to the roads whose cases
have been heard by the board, the de-
cision says 1t may later be applied to
any other road asking a hearing under
provisions of the transportation act.
Percentages of reductions computed
by members Of the board, gave the
average Of II per cent, and the same
Ssurce estimated the annual reduction
In wages at approximately $500. 5000.
The decision brought reductions
varying from 5 to Is cents an hour,
or from 5 to IS per cent, and In the
case Of section labOrers, wiped out the
increase granted them by the 5000, OOO,-
900 wage award Of July 20, 1920. For
section men the reduction was approx
mately Is per cent, or from S3.70 to
$500 per day.
Switchmen and shop crafts were
given a 8 per cent reduction, while
train service men were cut approx.
mately 7 per e Car repalrers were
cut about 10 per cent.
The board recently reclasslfied the
yarious employees in connection with
railway operations and this, 1t was
pointed out, may have some effect on
labor costs.
The board, also, a few weeks ago,
ordered abrogation Of the national
working agreements, to become effec-
tive July /. At the hearing on the Pc
tition for a~brogatiOn OF these agree
ments, railroad witnesses estimated
savings In labor cost as high as $780,
100000 annually. This would be In ad-
dition to the saving possible through
wage reduction decision.
Common labor pay, over which the
railroads made their hardest fight, is
to be reduced 6 to SH cents an hour,
freight truckers average
monthly wages to SOL and track la
to Still. This new schedule
still gives section men an average
laily wage of 1888 for an eight-hour
lay, although considerable testimony
by the roads showed common
abor wages as low as Sl.50 for ten
lOurs.
Shop craft employees and train and
service men, except those in
passenger service, are reduced 8 cents
IN hour. Construction and section
bremen are reduced 10 cents an hour.
Passenger and freight engineers who
given increases of 10 cents and
3 cents an hour by the 1920 award are
. be cut Q and 8 cents an hour, respec-
lively. Passenger and freight conduc-
ors, who received increases of 12h
nd IL cents in 1920. are cut IA cents
nd s cents, respectively.
Train dispatchers and yard masters
hose monthly earnings average $500
D 500, are cut 8 cents an hour.
