NEW ORGANIZATION
FOR MAXWELL co.
Announcement Made of Price
Revision and Completion
of Reorganization.

One of the most momentous and sig
nificant announcements which have
come recently from the motor car In
dustry was made yesterday by Max
well officials. 1t was to the effect
that the Maxwell reorganization had
been completed with the sale OF the
properties TO the new organization May
IL, and confirmation of the sale by the
United States District Court May IT;
and that the first step Of the new or
garization was to reduce prices $3.50 on
all models OF the Maxwell. The Max
well assets bought In by the new or
ganization include finely equipped
plants of great size and capacity In
Detroit. Dayton. Ohio: Newcastle. Ind.
and Windsor. Ont,
Their purchase is the final step in
the work of reorganization which has
been carried forward by reorganiza-
tion committee headed by Walter p.
Chrysler. Now that reconstruction has
been completed the new organization
has placed at It's command s16.000.0 900
of new cash, which has been held ready
for months awaiting the day when the
new organization should acquire the
properties and assume full control.
The new organization was incorpor-
atec in West Virginia under the name
of the Maxwell Motor Corporation.
The action Of the new organization
in reducing prices. said Arthur f..
Barker, general sales manager of the
Maxwell Motor Sales Corporation, has
the effect Of restoring the low level
prices of three years ago. Since that
time, however, the car has been greatly
improved as a manufacturing product.
The new organization. since 1t took
hold late last summer. has effected
further improvements by lowering
costs. by increasing plant efficiency and
10y betterments in manufacturing meth
DDS.
THE first Maxwell reduction since tho
war came last fall, and this second
revision represents a total reduction of
1910 on open cars and $3.50 on closed
cars"
The New York herald., 1921-05-23

We have decided 10 anticipate every pos
sible saving from material savings and
from the savings OF volume of produc-
tion. and we are putting our prices at
rock bottom June /.
1--WE are going the whole route right
now. The price is the low price which
we have long anticipated we might some
day reach on the Overland car. and
the car itself Is better than ever before.
1t shows an average gasolene mileage Of
better than twenty-five miles TO the
gallon. It's tire mileage and its mileage
on oil Is astonishing
This gives the public the oppor-
tunity 10 buy and use a modern, well
designed. high grade automobile at a
cost never before attained.
THE deep cut made in the WHY'S
Knight car is due TO quantity produc-
tion. AT the new price this car is sold at
the lowest figure among Americas finest

Members of the labor union are
not the only ones who should be
concerned about the union label.
Every lover of humanity should
take an interest in the work of pro-
noting the label. Every woman
with a heart big enough to feel a
thrill of sympathy for her fellows
ought to know what the union label
means, and it is the duty of labor to
teach all such persons.
Even the most chronic bargain
hunter would, if she were fully aware
Of the facts, hesitate before buying

room infected with the germs of tu-
berculosis, typhoid, smallpox, diph-
hteria, or a thousand other diseases.

woman takes when she buys such ar
ticles made in sweatshops.
More especially would any tender
hearted woman hesitate to buy them

fellow with one or two cows. but the
concern that deals in this commod-
ity by the car load.
The manager of one of these con-
Germs in the nations capital told a
congressional milk investigating
committee that he has made a profit
of 5000 every day for the last nine
months. His total porfit during that
period was $38,900 This does not
include annual salaries aggregating
S37 900 which his family draws out
of the business and of which he re-
ceives $4,000. Five of his sons are
on the payroll and two of them are
paid $4,000 a year.
The witness stated that practically
every large milk dealer in Washing
ton violates the milk regulations by
selling car loads of adulterated milk.
He explained in detail how the milk
is made by mixing dry powder and
water and how cream is thickened
by running it through machine.

time it was built. Coal mining, you
know, is unlike any other industry.
You must go up where the coal Is
located. And as the vein Is worked
out. homes must be moved to new
fields"
"Then." inquired the correspond
ent, "you believe the only feasible
plan is the one in effect today--to
build homes and rent them at low
cost per room to the miners ?"
II can't see any other way" the
coal producer replied. "If the fact
that we only lease were not enough
to discourage ownership of homes,
certainly the exhaustion of the vein
is. And besides, there isn't suffic-
lent room in many mining camps for
permanent home sites. Look at the
mountains that hem in Logan"
"The reason the producers have
built homes for their workers is be-
cause the people must hove homes
and cannot build them for them
selves"
Ownership Strictly Limited
The correspondent pointed to the
timber on the hills. 81 suppose you
let your miners take what they want
of that?"
"Your question emphasizes what
was saying about the limitations on
cur ownership" the producer ex-
planned. "Some time ago a workman

"Nor is that all. A Logan con-

came to us. We gladly suggested a
site on land to which we held the
coal rights. Plans were prepared to
begin building. The owner of the
property came forward demanding
to know what business it was of ours
to grant any privileges.

Producers Own Only Coal Rights
The majority of the mine proper

The producers are in full possession

asked a Logan producer:
"Why don't the miners own their

advantage"

throughout the country, "that the

"We could do that, but what would

walks of life take an interest in a
movement that means SO much to
their sister?
If the humane women of this land
would stop for a moment and think
of all the misery and woes their bar
gain rushes cause their unfortunate
sister; if they would pause for a
moment and think of the cruelty in
flicted upon helpless children by
their efforts to get bargains, they
would certainly quit it and be will
ing to pay fair prices for the goods
made by happy women amid health
full surroundings.
The woman whose attention is
called to these things and who pays
no attention, but goes right onprofit-
ing by the sweat and sorrows Of her
sisters and the hunger and grief of
Gods little ones is not worthy the
name of woman.
Without doubt the union label
means a whole lot more than we
have been giving it credit for 1t
means more than temporary profits.
1t means hope and happiness for mil
lions. 1t means Joy to mothers and
new ambitions to thousands of de-
spairing men.
If you are not insistently demand
ing the label you are untrue to your
obligation as a man or woman. If
you are not insistently demanding
the label you are untrue to your fell
lows. If you are not preaching the
virtues of the label to your non
union friends you are not a proper
emissary and should receive a new
baptism of the union spirit.
