Hall, 1906 f street. at which Presi-
dent Gompers of the American Fed

grievances against the action of the
court and present plans for action to
prevent subsequent occurrences OF
similar nature.
The American Federation of Labor
has already circularized central labor
bodies and trade councils in cities and
towns throughout the country sug-
costing that mass meetings be held
in protest of what is termed "a most
fragrant violation of the Constitu-
tion of the United States and the laws
enacted by our Congress.
The meeting Sunday is an out
growth of this movement The cir
cular sent to the local labor groups
calls upon all labor and upon SYM
pathizing. freedom-loving citizens to
protest against the injunction petit
Toned for and obtained by Attorney
General Daugherty. to pledge sup
port to the striking railroad shop
men in their contest and to indorse
the move for the impeachment or At
torney General Daugherty.'
Several other speakers who have

know not when my baek may ache,
so I can't play my harp. Today
walk with buoyant tread, l dance
around the floor; I cannot see an
hour ahead, I know not what's in
store. This world is full of gins
and snares, our health and Joy to
mar; l may fall down flight OF
stairs, or fail to dodge car. A
sandbag from an airship high may
land upon my dome, while weeping
peelers hear me cry. Proud world,
I'm going home" Tomorrow, if I'm
still alive, may be racked by pain,
while skillful taxidermists strive to
give relief in vain. know not what
a day may bring to this poor life of
mine; so fondly to this thought !
cling-I have wad in brine. If |

whang out helpful tunes, will not
face a famine dire. | still can buy
my prunes. And if perchance the
sexton plants my form beneath a
tree, you will not see my wailing
aunts beseeching charity. And SO
it is with proper pride I tell my
self, at times. "Whatever trouble

the luck should turn, | have about

FORD NEARS OUTPUT
OF 5000 A DAY
Dealers Call For 194,7 Cars,
Trucks And Tractors For
June.

Ford dealers in the United
States have asked for a total of
194,75O Ford cars, trucks and
tractors to meet their June re-
quirements, says a statement is
sued by the Ford Motor Compa-
ny, Detroit, Michigan.
AS a result, the estimated out
put for June has been boosted
to 100000, which is an increase
of 10000 over the present
month, and of course, will set up
a new record, in spite of the fact
that the May output will show
a substantial increase over the
previous highest month.
Ford sales have been constant
ly increasing since the first of
the year, the dmeand growing
during the past two months
faster than it has been possible
to increase production.
Monday, May 10th, brought
forth a new record of cars built
for one day, the figures reach
ing 4,S78 at the close of the
days work. This was an increase
of 16 over May 18th, when the
previous high mark was estab-
lished.
On May 18th, the six millionth
Ford motor was assembled.
Number five million came off the
line May 18th, 1921.
Ford officials state that every
attempt is being made to build
a sufficient number of cars and
trucks to fill the retail require
ments of their 5000 dealers.
