INDUSTRY FEELING PINCH
OF FUEL SHORTAGE; LABOR
TROUBLE ABSORBING TOPIC
(By Wells Dickey Company

Labor difficulties continue to be the
prime factor of absorbing interest in
gu! branches Of industry and finance.
Efforts which have been put forth thus
far to bring strikers and their en-
p!oyers together on a common ground
OF understanding have definitely failed.
Present indications point to q long
drawn out struggle. In the meantime
the fuel shortage grows more ap-
parent and the ~dislocation of freight
and passenger traffic more alarming.
Industry has commenced to feel the
pinch OF fuel shortage and the present
problem is not SO much one of
whether there will be a shortage
nearly SC much as of how long the
shortage will last.
Fortunately the production of coal

somewhat, buyers apparently becoming

Drought and heat damaging corn led
afterward to a sharp upturn in the
price Of wheat as well as OF other
cereals, but wheat fell in value again
when timely moisture and cooler tenn
perature relieved anxiety as to corn.
At this jurcturc, too, prospective re-

Wellesley Hills, Mass, Aug. 10
In view of the newspaper space re-
Gently taken by the coal strike, rail
road strike and certain textile strikes,
the people are prone to think that
strikes are very general at the. present
time. Roger w. Babson, however,
refutes this opinion in a statement, as
follows:
"As a matter of fact, we have very
few strikes at the present time. Ever
since the wal the strike curve has
been below the point which was then
called normal The fact that we have
had three strikes of large dimensions
blinds US to this basic truth. Two OF
these strikes, the coal strike and the
rail shipments strike, are in indus
tries which have not been debated,
SO far as war time wages go. Inc
other, the cotton textile strike, has
been partially Debated and the trouble
is about going the rest of the dis
lance. The difficulties in these three
industries are then cases OF beiated
hostilities.
For the most part labor is not
striking, wages are being gradually let
down to lower levels and the DISPOSE
ton of men is to keep at work. There
is always a rise in the strike curve
during the summer. We are having
that rise now. Nevertheless. we are
not having the number or the wide dis
tribution of strikes which we had last
year or at any time since 1913. we
will o have a repetition Of those
conditions this year. The strike
curve is nearer normal than almost
anything else in industry.
"As to the future, the answer is to
be looked for in conditions. What
made the tremendous wave of strikes
which marked the years 1915 to
1920? The simple fact that there were
more jobs than men; that the cost OF
living was going up. that labor was IN
a position to force the issue. No such
prospect is in view for the years right
ahead. Therefore we need not look for
a REPETITION Of the strike conditions OF
the war days. Those days are passed
Nevertheless we are going to have
strikes. There are going to be a good

ENGINE TROUBLE
CAUSED BY OIL
Incorrect fabrication During
Busy Season Blamed for Ills
of Tractor and Truck.
CAREFUL ATTENTION NEEDED
To Accomplish Objects Sought for
Lubricant Must Be Heavy Enough
to Stand Heat-change Oil
Every Five Hundred Miles.


1t Is claimed by tractor experts, who
have given a great deal of study to the
causes of tractor troubles, that me
half of all engine troubles are due to
Incorrect fabrication. 1t is important,
therefore, that the fabrication of the
tractor and the truck be given the
most careful attention during the busy
season.
Serves Two Purposes.
The oil in the crank cas- of the mo-
tor serves W purposes. ~, to pro-
vide a thin film between all bearing
surfaces to prevent friction, and (2),
to provide a seal between the cylinder
walls and the piston rings in order to
hold the gas in the compression cham
Der during the compression and expan-
sion. In order to accomplish these
two objects the oil must be heavy
enough to stand the heat to which 1t
is subjected during the operation of
the motor. 1t is well for each tractor
operator to use the oil which the
manufacturer recommends for this
particular tractor.
Lubricating oil, although chosen
from the very best grades, will not last
Indefinitely. The oil will break down
when constantly subjected to heat and
Use. Considerable gasoline and kero-
aene will find its way into the crank
case. which gradually thins the oil.

should be changed every 500 miles, in

about every four or five days in the
