Why Right Tires Wear

Most motorists have noticed that
tires on the right side of a car. wear
more than those on the left side and
many ascribe this to turning corners
to the right more than to the left.
But they are wrong, asserts an tex-
pert driver. The increased wear. he
says, is caused by the pitch of the
road, which throws more of the car
on the right side than on the left.
The slope of the road causes the
right rear tire to carry more weight
than the left rear. The same is true
of the right front as against the left
front. For this reason it is advised
that tires be changed around once a
month. The order of rotation de-
clared best is right rear, left rear,
right front. then left front.

trade union movement" according to
announcement today by Frank Nor

The call for the meeting was sent out
by Samuel Gompers, federation pres

Secretary Morrison, who embodied
his announcement in a formal state
ment said that the forthcoming con-
ference "is one of several similar
gatherings that have been called by
the American Federation of Labor
during Its history to consider unusual
conditions" In explaining further the
intention of organized labor to give
attention to attacks on trade unions,
Mr.. Morrison said:
"The attacks include attempts to
establish the anti-union shop. wage
reductions, anti-strike laws, compul-

To Teach Soldiers
How to Farm

In the development of the new
army as directed by The Congress
and elaborated by the Secretary of
War. it is proposed to make a far
closer relation. between the Army
and the civilian than formerly. With
out losing sight of the prime func-
ton of the soldier. he is now being
trained for his return to citizenship
as a more useful citizen than at his
enlistment, and better fitted TO cope
with the problems of living. To meet
this the soldiers day is divided be-
tween military duties, vocational ed
ucation and supervised RECREATION:
Already men have finished courses
in mechanical trade and at their dis
charge have found employment by
the industries at wages materially in
advance of what they were previous
ly earning. To afford opportunity
for the young men living in the rural
districts agricultural courses are be-
ing offered by the Army.
New England grows only fraction
Of what it consumes. And the farms
of New England have at their doors
the best market in America. Hun
dreds of young men leave the farm
homes of New England each year to
take up city life. A few Of these
make a success. But the far larger
number are lily prepared to compete
in the city struggle for existence and
are lost to agriculture or return to
their homes after a few years of
wandering, not SO we'll fitted for life
as when they left. At this critical
age, when the young man has this
feeling of unrest, 1t is the purpose of
the war department to offer to him
change of scene and give him train
ing that will make him greater use
to himself and to his fellowmen.
At Camp Devens, under the direc-
ton of Doctor Charles d. Woods, for
80 years in agricultural experiment
station work in Connecticut and
Maine, courses in practical agricul-
ture are now offered of grade that
the young man who has had a gram
mar school or slightly less education
Se@aA AoAAO" ACd0Aiy uuu Will
Devens has an abundance of arabic
land, no break. A well trained fac
ulty experienced in elementary
teaching and brought up with New
England agriculture is being assem-
bled. Farm machinery of the most
improved type is at hand. The lead
ing breeds of live stock will be add
ed as fast as they are needed for
teaching purposes.
Briefly stated 1t is the purpose to
enlist each year several hundred
young men from rural New England;
take them to Camp Devens, furnish
them with comfortable quarters, good
food, we'll fitting clothes, suitable rec
reation, and $50 month; teach them
the essentials of the military life,
practical civics and practical agricul-
ture; and at the end of their enlist
ment, be it one Or three years, re-
turn them to their homes better fit
ted, physically and mentally for cit
izenship, leadership, and earning a
livelihood on the farm. .tr

PHILADELPHIA WORKERS
TO RESIST WAGE CUT

Philadelphia, Jan. 16.-The PhiIa-
delphia district council of Textile
workers, at a meeting here today, de-
cided to resist ito the limit of their
ability" an wage scale reductions and
called on the people Of Philadelphia
to support them in their struggle ''for
fair play and for a chance to live as
citizens of a great American city
should live"
Most of the textile manufacturers
recently announced wage reductions
ranging from ten to twenty five per
cent. and told the workers they either
would have to submit to them or be
thrown out of work by the closing OF
tho plants.
Fourteen local unions with a men,
bership of approximately 10000 were
represented at the council meeting
today.
Adoption of resolutions setting
forth their attitude followed the read
ing Of detailed report in which sta
tistics and memoranda were quoted
to show that the average worker in
the textile industry is at present re-
ceiving wage 'far below the amount
needed to sustain in decency fam
lily, while the manufacturer has reap
ed for the past five years exhorbitant
profits"
Conclusive evidence" the resolu-
tons read, SHOW that the textile
manufacturing concerns in Philadel-
phia have made profits since 1914
which are grossly exorbitant. Such
profits have furnished ample oppor-
tunity for the mill owners to create
adequate financial reserves.
During the same period the work.
ers in the textile mills were denied
any share of this prosperity and re-
ceived wages utterly inadequate to
support them in health and decency.
"This low level of wages has made
it impossible for the workers to Law
up any financial reserve whatever,
and recent unemployment in the local
textile industry has already reduced
the wages of workers to a point that
brooks desperation and renders them
prey to restitution and disease.
"The present depression lin the tex

transition from unnatural imitation to
normal and prosperous business con-
ditions.
Therefore, the textile workers here
represented call upon the employers
to shoulder all the losses of hard
times as they reaped all the benefits
Of prosperity.
The textile workers denounce the
attempts of the Philadelphia manu-
facturers to reduce wage scales at
this time as contrary to the dictates
of justice. human decency and sound
public policy. and they pledge resis-
lance to the limit of their ability
against any wage scale reductions at
the present time.
The textile workers have repre-
sented call upon the people of Phila-
delphia to support Their. in their
struggle for fair play ando for a
chance to live as citizens OF q great
American city should live"

breaches Labor Sermon

Rev. Oscar b. Halves, acting min
lister at the Unitarian church, gave a
strong sermon Sunday morning on
the subject, "The New Era in Indus
try" Mr.. Halves spoke of the change
from emphasis upon individual gain
and self interest to emphasis upon
the common good and principle of
service and likewise the change from
bondage to customs and traditions of
the past to obedience to the inner
spirit Of justice and right. The prin-
ciple Of this change was truth and the
determination to learn the full truth
in regard to human values as we'll as
material conditions in business to-
gether with the determination to
make, business serve the common
good is the chief characteristic of the
new era. At the vesper service in the
afternoon. which was largely attend
ed, Mr.. Halves sermon was based on
Browning's poem, "Instans Tyran-
nus" which told of king who had a
particular dislike for one of his SUBJ
jects. He smote the men who took
the injury without complaint. The
king was Disguised. His insig-
naficant enemy was so small, he could
hardly touch him. But at the thought
Of his patient suffering and his face,
which showed the pain endured he
determined to exterminate him. He
completed his plans, then stood ready
to enjoy the result, when the man
stood erect and prayed and the king
was afraid. The king found himself
thwarted just as his vengeance SEEM
ed complete. He was opposed by
something greater than himself. So
is every man who seeks wrong ends
We cannot escape the moral law. God
is an ever, ipresent power and the
courage which Identifies itself With
the spirit of God is something that
cannot be overcome.
