A Safe Guide to
Tire Satisfaction

A safe guide to tire satisfaction today IS to
buy by name, bearing in mind what that name
stands for. Firestone is not only the name Of a
tire, it is the name of a man who twenty years
ago adopted the standard of Most Miles Per
Dollar" for his organization. and has success
fully lead that organization in its fight for bet
ter tire values ever since.

ROADS PUT IN CLAIM AGAINST
GOVERNMENT FOR
... $1,25o, 1000, 900.
Managers Say U. S. Failed to Get
Moneys Worth From Labor.


Washington, May 21.-Railroads
Saturday attempted to collect $780,
OOO, 900 from the United States rail-
road administration.
In submitting the claims the road
managers charged in effect, that the
government during federal control O!
the roads, failed to gets its money
worth from labor employed at high
wages.
Director General Davis of the rail-
road administration, who is adjust
ing the claims, denied the charge Of
the railroad managers, declaring that
the government owes them not MOI e
than 40 per cent of the amount
claimed, $500, 100000.
Some roads already have settled
for 40 per cent of their claims.
The basis for the claims is the
promise made by the White House
when the roads were taken over that
they would be returned in the same
physical condition in which they we've
received. To carry out this promise
the railroad administration wrote IN
10 its contracts with the roads, which
were signed at the beginning of fed
eral control. clauses under which tn.
government was to spend as much for
maintenance and new equipment as
the roads themselves had spent in
former times. This measure was to
be corrected to cover rising wages
and costs of materials, so that the
physical work done should be equiva-
lent to that formerly done by the
roads. 4f
The railroad administration spent
many millions on maintenance during
federal control, seeking to carry out
this clause. But the roads now claim
that the work actually done was short
of the standard set by them by one
and one-quarter billions
