ia COUNTRIES IN
TRANSPORT CONGRESS
Automotive Economics Conference in
1924

In Detroit, Mich, in May, 1924 will
gather the delegates from ia
countries invited by the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce to
the International Motor Transport
Congress. Foreign Government off
cials, foreign dealers, editors of trade
papers. and motor associations have
been invited to participate in what is
hoped will be a constructive gathering,
the combined brain power of which
will result in great good to the in
dustry
Among the most important subjects
which will be discussed is that of high
way development. Foreign officials
will tell the experience of their coun-
tries in national highway building and
American officials will respond with
the tale of failure which is the Fed
eral aid program now upon our statute
books. The most recent ideals in road
construction and especially in road
finance and development, will be
brought forth, undoubtedly to the last
ing benefit of all Interested in the
establishment of good roads.
The National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce, maintained by the lead
ing automobile industries, has several
permanent committees, one of them
devoting all its time to the study of
highways; this committee expects a
great educational impetus to be given
to American highway building through
this four day congress.

Opposition TO good roaGs comes
from two sources; the ignorance Of
tax payers, who think that the bond
issue or the road tax represents outgo,
instead of the means of increased in

order to get votes, rather than money

Both classes of opposition are slowly

Each night in addition to the Vodvi

Cropping for a New Freedom
By CHESTER NJ. WRIGHT
Editor. International Labor News Seryic,

If Prof. BroWSer spends the whole day on the
bank of ripping stream doing nothing at all but
thinking it Will be generally believed that ne is not
crazy lazy; he is thinking, and that's his trade
so it's all right.
If James Workaday goes out and spraWls out
on his back on the river bank doing nothing at ALL
far as the eye detect, he's negecting to earn
money for his family and he's a loafer and he's
pretty sure to get black mark in the community
Nobody suspects him of puIposely going out there to
think That's not his trade, SO he's not supposed to
be doing it.
But that's what's happening and the world will
get used to it. The hunger for enough of the mater
ia things to sustain life and to provide fair amount
of comfort has actually its battle far as the
great bulk Of the labor movement is concerned. The
fight is longer for enough to eat 1t is no longer
for enough to wear nor for good enough houses
The story about bath tubs used as coal bins doesn't
get laugh any more. The house without bath
gets the go-by Likewise the fight for time to think
has been won-o a sufficient degree at least to have
started the thinking machinery to work.
The great urge in the labor movement today is
for something not yet defined, except vaguely. The
chick knows nothing of what is beyond the SHE'LL but
it fights to break through, the less. Labor is
forcing against shell almost with mental torture
1t wants freedom underlined, larger life, more of
life--the freedom of the brain and SOUL 1t is the
day of days, great adventure impends. Beyond
the shell, what?

SHOULD LABOR ADVERTISE

We live in an age when advertising is just be-
ginning to be understood. No successful business
concern misses chance to advertise. Advertising
to businss man today is what the town crier was
back in the 18th century. To tell the world your
story you must advertise. Back in the old DAYS
news travelled from mouth to mouth, but there were
not so many ears to reach so the mouth method
sutficed. In the newspaper game there is what is
known as campaign of silence and if person or
thing is not wanted nothing is mentioned in the
papers about that person thing. This is not adj
vertisng but if they going to serve the interests
OF those who own the papers then they boost them
to the sky every time there is chance to write a
paragraph about them. Advertising is the method
whereby we tell each other just what the other has
got to offer. Now why not apply this method to our
labor movement? Why not tell the people what we
have for sale. Why not, every time we get the
chance get before the public with our wares. Why
not tell them that we painters have an art to sell
That We clean preserve and repair That we are
trained mechanics in our line that we give the high
est type of skill for fair return in wages The
biggest trouble with working people is that we sit
back and wait until the other fellow gets the lob
then we in bad; possession is nine points of the

then we have no kick coming Very often we find
Job let to non-union concern and by the time we
ind 1t out, the job is half done and the owner will
not make change. He will go thru with it and find
out what non-union labor can do. We live in fast
age and we should adopt every modern method to
keep IN front. Advertise the union, in every place
where you can. This can be done in parades in the
papers, on bill boards, by putting the label on every
union painted job. Put it on your stationary in fact

SHEPHERD DOG
GUARDS SICK MAN
TILL HELP COMES

A man fell unconscious on the side
walk near Stoughton and Fourth
street Monday. A large shepherd
dog belonging to family living near
by saw his predicament and faith
fully kept watch over the man till
help arrived.
The feature of the incident that
could not be understood was that the
dog, so far as is known was not ac-
quainted with the man and had never
been befriended by him.
Like thoughtful human being the
dog refused to leave the mans side
until he saw a physician ministering
to his relief.

AMERICAN TRADE IN CHINA
HURT BY INTERNAL CHAOS
Lack of Authority in Central Gov
ernment Blamed by Delegations
Calling on Hughes.

Development Of American business
in China has become next to impos.
sible, Secretary Hughes was told yes
terday by two delegations. represent
Ing the China and Asiatic societies.
This was principally due, they told
the secretary, to the absence of a
central government possessing power
TO speak for all of China.
Although the reply of Secretary
Hughes was not made public it is
known that difficulties experience,
by the American minister in Peking
and his colleagues of the diplomatic
corps in all recent negotiations with
the Peking government have been due
to the situation outlined by Mr..
Hughes visitors
The course of negotiations con-
Quoted by the Peking diplomats rel
ative to the Lincheng bandit out
rage and similar incidents in China
has been determined by the powers
largely on the theory that while the
Central Chinese government was in
ract lacking in power and unrecog-
nized in many parts of China, it
would tend to increase the authority
of that government to deal with IL
and require of it such protection as
all civilized nations extend TO foreign

ADJUSTMENTS
Josef Hofmann's Concert.

Josef Hofmann. one of the famous
pianists of the concert stage, played
to an appreciative audience that
filled Polls Theater to standing room
yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Hofmann was evidently in a
whimsical mood with no desire to be
melancholy, for it was the lighter
compositions, full of runs and bril-
liant chords, that he played with the
most apparent enjoyment, while the
Beethoven sonata. opus 40. that
opened the program, was given with
changes of mood and tempo and
Liszts "Venezia e Napoli" and a
plaintive quality as we'll as warm
color.
Sgambati's "vecchio Minuetto"
dignity of it's different movements.
Webers "Perpetuum Mobile" was
perhaps the most brilliant number
the great pianist's virtuosity.
Cuts "Causerie" (Gossip) opened
the second group and was followed
by two programmatic etudes. Tour
terelle" and "Chauve-Souris" by Pol
dini. A ''Valse Phantastique" by
Edna Woods more than lived up to
its name under Hofmann's skillful
fingers. while Liadow's daintily me-
chanical .'Tabatiere Musique" was
SO beautifully played that it's repe-
tition was demanded
Then Hofmann. the composer, ap-
peared on the program in two un-
usual compositions. "Nenien" and
Kaleidoscope" Both were full OF
technical beauty but lacked the sing
ing melodies that one glimpses in
the work of the master Chopin. Hof-
mann. played his lovely "Berceuse"
as encore.
In the Chopin group Hofmann
rather muffled the melodies of the
"Ballade" and gave the "Grande
Valse Briliante" a somewhat errattc
tempo. but the "Nocturne in F Minor
was softly beautiful and the fiippant
little Minute Waltz" played as en-
core, was delightful. Rachmani-
noff's popular prelude in Sharp
Minor" was played dramatically, but
not as smoothly as one is accustomed
to hearing it. Probably the most
vivid composition of all was the finely
shaded Turkish March" that was
given as the first encore. Its rhyth-
mic beat was fascinatingly presented.
