Majority Preference
Proves Cadillac Value

TT is a matter of record that
L more buyers choose Type 81
Cadillac than all other cars
combined selling at the Cadillac
price or higher.
When people record such clear
favor for an automobile, it is
obvious that they have some
good reason for their preference.
The great majority Of buyers Of
the Type 81 are not led to it's
purchase primarily by the con-
sideration of price.
Many of them could easily pay
a great deal more for an auto
mobile, and would do so, if they
thought that they could secure
more than in the Type 81
Cadillac.
But as their purchase Of the Type
81 indicates, they conclude that
they can not secure more.
1t is equally true that they could

they pay for the new Cadillac.
But it is plain that they reject
that possibility as we'll.
Just as they refuse to pay more
for that which they consider in
no way better, so they refuse to
pay less, and accept that which
they believe to be inferior.
They reason that the new
Cadillac possesses a degree Of de-
pendability and perform-ability
that is not duplicated anywhere
for less.
We believe that the majority of
buyers Of high grade cars choose
Type 81 because they have clear
conviction of it's worth.
They buy it because, after mature
reflection, they consider Type 81
Cadillac both the Standard ofthe
World and the worlds greatest

Strikers Seeking Justice.

WARRINGTON, July 19.-An appeal was
issued to-day by the executive council of
the American Federation of Labor ito all
workers everywhere to support the rail-
road workers in their efforts to secure a
just settlement OF the railroad shops

The text OF the appeal follows:
I'VE call upon working people every
where and upon all Americans who love
Justice to sustain the cause of the rail-
road workers. who have ceased work as
their only remaining method of protest
against an injustice which must rank as
one Of the most reprehensible which any
American industrial or political institu-
ton has ever sought to impose.

Union or not, will. II he Is possessed Of
true American manhood, engage In any
work formerly done by men now on
strike.
mo man now on strike will. II he is
true to the cause. conduct himself in any
but lawabiding manner
"The cause for which the workers are
contending is worthy Of every Just and
proper effort that can be put forth In its
behalf.
Let there be a determination and a
solidarity which shall at the same time
bring victory In the present struggle and
serve notice upon reactionary employers
ard financial interests everywhere that
there Is to be no return to autocratic,
despotic methods in American Industrial
life"

WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE
DEFIES KANSAS COURT
Calls Industrial Order Infa-
nous and Asks Test.

TEMPORAL, Kan. July 19.-William AL
len White. editor of the Emporia Ga
sette, to-day defied the Kansas Court of
Industrial Relations by placing a con-
traband placard expressing sympathy
for the striking shopmen in the window
Of the Gazette office. Mr.. White posted
the placard after he had been informed
that the Attorney-General had ruled 1t
against the industrial and anti-syndioal-
ism law.
The poster expressed sympathy for
the strikers in their announced stand for
al living wage and fair working condi-
TONS" In to-day's issue Mr.. White, ex-
piaining his stand, said: A.
"The order of the Industrial Court Is
an Infamous irfraction of the right Of
ftee press and free speech. Certainly
ID has not come to pass in this country
that man may not say what he thinks
about an industrial controversy without
disobeying the law.
S"Tf the Government desires to make a
test case here it Is. 1t is not question
OF whether men are right or wrong but
II question of the right of an American
citizen, white and 21. to say what he
Iieases about the strike"
fPlacards expressing 100 per cent"
sympathy for the striking shopmen have
appeared during the last few days In
local store windows. White changed
the sign in his window, making II read
40 per cent. instead of 100 per cent. for
the. striking railroad men," saying h>
would add per cent. every day the

A total of LOO persons. the commits

day, were shown by its Investigation
and hearings probably to have been
misled and deceived in the purchase of
stock of the companies promoted and
controlled by the respondents s. e. J,

Representations said to have been
made by these respondents in connec-

that they possessed device or for
mula that had located or could locate
oil beneath the earth's surface; that
the Prudential Oil and Refining Company
had producing wells In the best of
Humbles shallow territory and leases
in the midst of Hunhble's most prolific
deep well gusher district" the fact
being, 1t was said. that the company
had mo property whatever in the
Humble shallow district" and that they
had bought in a 1900 barrel gusher on
the Noel lease in Louisiana and OBJ
tained lease In the well known West
Columbia field in Texas" With re-
spect to the gusher claim, 1t was said
to have been disclosed that the gusher
referred to was bought In by another
company with which the respondents
had no connection whatever
Other findings were that the General
OIL Company advertised and distrib-
uted so-called dividends" when ''as a
matter Of fact it had no income nor
sufficient funds properly applicable to
dividend purposes, but borrowed money
from one of the other respondent COM
panies to pay the so-called dividends"
The General Oil Company also was
found to have claimed requirement of q
refinery having a daily capacity OF 2,600
barrels which it represented would in
crease to 5000 barrels. whereas the
facts found by the commission were
that the maximum capacity, OF the re-
finery was 1900 barrels and that at no
time during the company's possession
was it's condition such that 1t was pos
sible to handle more than 7b0 or 500 a

sort could doubtless be reached upon
this matter" he said.
AT present" the statement continued.
there is no possibility of an agreement
on the reinstatement of striking en-
pioyees with all rights restored
The carriers contended, he said. that
when the men struck. the carriers owed
10 themselves and the public the duty
OF continuing the operation OF the trains
for the transportation of freight, passen-
gers and mails. In doing this, Mr..
Hooper said, the carriers endeavored to
replace the men who quit the service
and asserted that they promised efficient
men permanent employment and fair
treatment after the strike was over and
could not recede from these obligations.
They also state" Mr. Hooper contin-
ued. that to give the returning strikers
preference over the men now employed
would merely encourage the recurrence
OF strikes"
The carriers. he said, have promised
20 employ men who have been out on
strike If they have not been guilty OF
breaches of peace and the destruction
of property. but refused to give them
seniority over those who have remained
at work.
Personally" the statement said. Il
had hoped that some agreement might
be reached that would result in the re-
sumption of work by men now on strike.
This question Is not before the labor
board at this time, but is one between
the carriers and the employees"
The positions of shopcrafts with re-
gard to seniority he set forth by assert
ing that "any settlement of the present
controversy which has for its object the
restoration of harmonious relations and
efficient operation of shops must take
into consideration the restoration Of the
men involved to their status as en-
ployees of date prior to the stoppage OF
work"
He maintained the great majority Of
these men are permanently located and
are more desiable employees than those
now taking their places. that 1t will be
an unusual position If the carriers deny
the request Of the organizations in this
respect when by so doing they prevent
the possibility Of a settlement that no
organization has heretofore been called
upon to make such a sacrifice to obtain
settlement, and that "this action on
the part of the carriers will place the
full responsibility Of continuation OF
the strike, with the inevitable conse-
quences resulting therefrom."
Statement of Executives.
The statement of the Western presi-
dents committee regarding the strike
situation follows:
There are now no conferences In
progress looking toward a settlement OF
the shopcrafts' strike. Chairman Hooper
OF the Labor Board has held informal
conferences with some railway execu-
tives. but these have had no results and
are now at an end.
Since the strike was called the So
called question OF seniority rights has
arisen and has now become one OF i'm
portance.
"The public should be fully and clearly
advised of what is involved in this
question of seniority rights Seniority
is based on length Of continuous SER
vice, and determines who has the right
to work. In every railway shop there
is list of men whose names appear in
the order OF their length Of service. those

for them by the creation OF a nationai

The response referred to the unyield-
