guests, like myself. were men Of mid

had given our orders, which includ-

came the beans were unappetizingly

Waitress, our beans are cold!"
With a toss of her saucy head she

RAIL SHOPMEN DROP
INJUNCTION CASE

CHICAGO, May 1O.-Officers of
the locked out railroad shop men In
structed their attorneys to withdraw
from the Daugherty injunction case.
Since the supreme courts decision in
the Pennsylvania case the injunction
involves only dead issues, the shop
men say, and they refuse to cope
with Daughet'y unlimited financial
resources in fighting the case further
When the attorney general asked
for the injunction eight months ago
he said the strike was a Conspiracy"
to violate orders Of the Railroad La
Dor Board. He based his plan on the
theory that the word of the Railroad
Labor Board was law.
In its recent decision against the
Pennsylvania railroad the supreme
court ruled that the Railroad Labor
Board can not enforce its decisions.
With the court sweeping aside
Daugherty's main point the attorney
general now depends upon a contin-
uance Of the injunction to enforce
law and order" The shop men insist
that it is outside the province of IN
junction judges to spend their money
fighting this particular point at this
time when hungry mouths are to be
fed. If they did fight this point now
Daugherty and his water carriers and
banner bearers would raise the cry
that the shop men want to violate the
law.
1t is also a question If a final de-
cision would be secured IL the case
was dragged on through the years in
the supreme court. 1t is quite likely
that the court would say It was
moot case" that only abstract points
were involved.
Daugherty, of course. is willing to
fight the case. as he is not spending
his own money.
The shop men will continue the
fight against the lockout.

ORGANIZATION Of
WORKERS OPPOSED
BY FEW EMPLOYERS

Union members who sometimes
complain against strike assessments
and similar burdens inseparable from
the struggle TO advance the cause OF
unionism should reflect on the actual
progress that Is being made for the
working men and women, says a bull
letin issued at headquarters of the
International typographical union.
"In the face of the open shop rally
of recent years there Is evidence
a-pIenty that more and more employ.
ers are being convinced that union
Ism is sound and just" says the bull
letin. Reference is not had here to
the employers who were forced to
recogize unions by economic pressure,
but to those who have come to the
opinion honestly that the right OF
collective bargaining is a healthy
thing for the democracy.
"StubbOrnnness of opinion is of
course a basic trait of human nature.
The average employer. assailed by a
demand for improved working cOndi-
lions which aims at his purse. sets his
mid against unionism. He is usually
q busy man. not much given to think
ing in generalities, so his impulse is
to fight. For many years the organ
lied employer has been fiercely re-
sisting the growth of trade unionism,
but that growth has gone on apace,
nevertheless"
The employers who do not favor
organization of labor and are furnish
ing the shouting for the American
plan" today are in a minority among
employers. They are the bitter
enders" The majority is composed Of
men who still hope they may profit
temporarily from any ground gained
against unionism and others who are
inundated by the militant union
haters. Those who are applying a
little thought to the problem are COM
ing around. They are beginning to
realize that the labor union as an en-
tity upon which an employer may put
his finger is greatly preferable to sui
len workmen. depressed by a sense
Of injustice against which they are
helpless, who engage in a variety Of
forms Of sabotage and who hearken
TO suggestions OF any sort OF radical
ism. The thinking employer knows,
too, that unjust exploitation Of men
Southwest Washington labor press. [volume] (Hoquiam, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1923-05-11

cannot long endure without invoking
dangerous conditions.
The men who hate labor are so
few in number that they are quite
we'll known because of their views.
Each city of any size has a few Of
them. but they are coming to be
looked upon as cranks. Evidence to
support conclusions given here is
available on every hand.

PLAN PREVENTION

IN WISCONSIN LAW


Huber bin is based on their example
and makes It profitable for employ

employer and employee, would be sell
lected by the Industrial commission
from lists submitted By both parties
concerned.

lies in the membership or premium

'STUDEBAKER YEAR"
SLOGAN IS A WINNER
Saying Becomes National and
Sales Leap Beyond All
Previous Records.

The calendar changes, but our
slogan doesn't This Is q Stude-
baker Year.
This slogan has been widely
quoted. t originated with the
public and was adopted by stude-
baker. One day somebody in q
burst OF enthusiasm remarked that
this Il Studebaker year I'M
lmediately it spread. It became
nationwide. Records of Studebaker
have remained constantly In the
public eye ever since that slogan
was first heard.
Production and sales OF Stude-
baker cars attracted unusual at
tention in 1921, the year of de-
preston, in which was established
g new high water mark In the his
tory Of the corporation. Sales
or Studebaker cars were 20 per
cent greater than In 1920, while
the total number OF cars sold OF all
other makes. except Ford, was 40
per cent less than in 1920.
During 1921, Studebaker's repair
parts were IL per cent less than
they were IN 1919, in spite of the
fact that $4,000 now cars were
sold and put In operation in 1920
and 1921. These figures tell a
story of durability.
The 1921 records merely served to
stimulate Studebal1er last year. The
goal was set at 100000 cars for
1922 as compared with 66,643 in
1921. BY the end Of July the total
for all Of 1921 had been surpassed.
The factories have been constantly
behind on orders, and the year
ended with production and sales
around the 10000 mark.
I'VE intend to make 1923 and
every other year "a Studebaker
year by adhering to the manu-
featuring standards and ideals that
have caused people in the past to
say this iS a Studebaker year."

AutOists' Dollar
Growing, While

Present Models UnderSeII Those
of Early Years Even with
Great Changes.

There is one dollar that is growing
in buying power. That's the auto.
mobile dollar. The motor car manu-.
facturer is giving more for the
money today than he did eighteen
years ago.
As an illustration, the model "D''
Cadillac manufactured in 1905 Sold
for $1,000. The present type 81 sells
for $2,S85.
The early model had a four cylin-
der engine, with planetary transmits.
sion, 100 inch wheelbase and "a by
4 1a fabric tires. 1t had no top, horn,
headlights, or windshield. There were
no front doors and the front seat
was cut away on the lines of horse
drawn phaeton. It was cranked by
hand, lighted by kerosene side lamps.
No dust shield between running
board and body protected the rider
from road dirt or exhaust gases.

Announces New Distributors
AUBURN SALES Co., INC. :

A great change has come about in the at
titude Of motor car buyers.
There was time when cars were pur-
chased with the idea of trading-in later,
but people have learned there is only one
way to get their money out of car and
that is by prolonged serpice.
Because of this we looked the market
over carefully before selecting the Lex
ington-the Minute Man Six.
We realize that the new Lexington offers
the greatest value at the lowest price on
the market today.
This car will do all things that a fine
car should do-do them better and more
economically-and endure longer.
That is one reason why we are so pleased
to handle Lexington in the District of
Columbia, Maryland, Virginia and West
Virginia.
The other reason is the character of the
institution behind the car. The high
character of this company is reflected in
its sense of responsibility to owners of
Lexington cars. 1t selects only dealers
qualified and pledged to render cour-
teous, prompt, and efficient service.
The unexcelled quality, fine engineering,
and long life built into the car are the
works of great alliance of automotive
