This Yale Crane Truck k
AComplete Handling Unit
Materials or merchandise, in pack
ages or bulky single units, can be most
effectively handled In the plant, storage
yard or goods terminal by means of this
Yale Model ALI Crane Truck.
A single large storage battery, carried |
under the platform, supplies the energy N
to enable this truck to carry loads Of
1000 lbs. and to pick up from either side N
or from the end of the truck any single H
loads up to 900 lbs. at one time
All running operations may be con-
trolled by the operator without leaving
the driving platform He can swing the
boom of the crane through an arc of l8O. II
set the boom IN any one of SIX lifting
positions, lift the load and spot it where
desired, and drive the truck, without
moving from his position.
With lifting speed of approximately
L #. per minute, and truck driving
speed Of over six miles per hour under
full load, it is apparent that the Yale
Crane Truck is very efficient time and
labor saver.
See it at the NJ Y. Edison Show, and
examine it close ly. Our engineers will be
glad to answer your questions rs

ENOUGH SOFT COAL
 FOR THIS WINTER
Situation Discussed by Members
 Of Traffic Bureau Today

The first meeting this season of the
 New Britain Traffic bureau was held
 at the New Britain club this noon.
 The main points emphasized were
 the present embargo on goods tra-
 yelling over several western railroads
 the coal situation and difficulties in
 securing transportation of freight. | The reasons given for the embargo
 were the fact that there is much i'm portation of foreign products into the
 country, thus crowding the roads:
 the fact that as many cars as possible are needed to handle the coal that Is available. and shortage of equipment on these railroads.
 Tn speaking Of the coal situation a
 member spoke of recent trips taken by him. He said that he saw any quantity of soft coal and no hard coal at all. w. l.. Bell of North & Judd company read coal report issued by the government. From that it was thought that there need be no fear regarding coat that is, soft coal. There will be though of it to last all winter. But the hard coal situation is oClicuS anu IL WdS luouSll lIldl private families will be forced to use the soft coal before the winter is over. Pennsylvania will be first on the hard coal list when there is any.
 A. P. Marsh stated that he recently attended meeting of warehouse men in New Haven. This meeting was called for the purpose of forming an association of warehouse men. There has been much adverse legislation to- ward warehouses such as taxing and retaXing, such legislation having start ed in the west. It is gradually work ing eastward. Seeing this necessity for getting together the men have started an association.
 When asked about the effect of auto truck transportation on the roads. Mir. Marsh said that the loaded trucks do not damage the roads as much as the ordinary touring car. The tendency of the touring car go- ing perhaps 40 miles an hour is to suck up loose gravel or paving. while a loaded truck going 20 miles an hour will act almost as a steam roller, tamping the loose gravel back into place. It has been proven that a touring car will do more damage to a road than loaded truck. Of course, if the road was poorly constructed the truck will weigh down on it, but if it was properly built no damage will come to 1t from trucks.
 It was announced that the annual meeting of the National Industrial Traffic league will be held at the Ho- tel Commodore, New York city, Mo- vember IS and 16. Local members were urged to attend. New Britain has more members of the National bureau than any other city of the same size in the United States.
 At the next meeting of the bureau a new chairman will be chosen. The present chairman. E. K. Burr. of the Skinner Chuck company was in charge of the meeting today.

WARNS THAT US. WANTS DEBTS PAID
Cong. Burton, Speaking in Lon! <, don, Talks of Preparations

London, Sept. 26.-(By Associated Press)-The disposition of the people of the United States Is to require pay. nient of the inter-allied debts owing to America, Congressman Theodore E. Burton declared in an address to. day at a luncheon given by the Am. erican chamber of commerce.
 MT. Burton who emphasized tha, he was speaking as an individual and not as member of the American debt funding commission or as a con. eressman said three considera tions had contributed toward arrival at thi, conclusion.
 Three Considerations First was the feeling that interna. tional credit and especially debts be. tween nations have a certain degree of sanction--I might say of sacred. ness"
 NO one can exaggerate the i'm portance of credit to the modern A. nancial and industrial world" he con- unued. Credit bridges the chasm be- tween early and sometimes unpromis. Ing beginnings and the developmen, or helpful enterprise. Cancellation or repudlation of debts would create not merely confusion and distrust in the financial world but seriously impair It's future development.
 The result would rest with especial weight upon such country as Eng land where for centuries past English currency and English obligations have been the very synonyms for stability and assured payment"
 The second consideration was that the amounts loaned to the foreign countries by the United States were provided by loans obtained from the people and with no small degree of difficulty. The advances were not from an overhowing revenue, but were made possible by the action of the United States in becoming a borrower alike with these debtors and at the same time.
 Taxation Heavy
 The burden of taxation in America he declared was quite as heavy if not heavier than that in the European countries.
 The third consideration he outlined as follows.
 "A very considera ble fraction of the advances made were after the actual close of the war and were for re- mobilization and the creation of new enterprises rather than for the prose- cution of war in a time of great emer- gency.
 Tt must be said that at the time these loans were made the legislation authorizing them and popular expec- tation both alike contemplated pay ment In the war itself the Unted States was not subjected to the same surpassing dangers as her allies and In peace she sought no acquisition of territory. Large indemnities were not expected by her"
 MT. Burton lengthily explained the traditional aloofness of the United States from European affairs which he said explained the caution of the American people in regard to enter ing the league of nations
