went the entire race without stop. This
and every other important race this year
was won on Firestone Gum Dipped
Cords and Steam Welded Tubes. Such
performance gives you conclusive proof
of their strength and durability.
Not only do race drivers use Firestone
Tires as protection to their lives and the
surest way to victory, but the largest
tire buyers in the world insist on and
buy Firestone Tires for economy and
service. These buyers include the leading
car manufacturers, the biggest CONNER
cial car operators and the taxicab and
NOTORIOUS operators. 57,639,714 tire
miles were sold to taxicab and motorbus
operators in the month of August.
Think this over. You cannot afford
to accept anything less than Firestone
service and economy. You can buy this
service and economy from any OF the
dealers listed below.

PANICS HAVE
LITTLE EFFECT ON
BAKING INDUSTRY

New York.-A financial publication
in this city says that bakery corpora
tions are immune from periods of de-
preston, and that profits continue re-
gardless of trade conditions in other
industries.
Baking company stocks are at

investors" says this publication,
"Bread is a daily necessity of the
people. Big baking companies have
revoutioniZed conditions to the bene-
fit Of the customer and themselves.
''The baking industry ranks eighth
in the nation today. II is one of the
few industries that thrive during pc
RODS of depression as well as pros
perous times. 1t is a cash business.
Inventory losses are practically IN
known. These conditions permit the
baking companies to increase earn
ings and extend their business even
during the period Of general business
depression following the war. Ihere
has been a continued absorption OF
baking company stocks for investment

SEVENTEEN LABOR BANKS;

RECORD IN THREE YEARS

By international Labor News Service
Washington, ID. C.---With more thar
$4,000, 100000 capital g stock, many
more millions of deposits and more
than comfortable assets and sur
plusses, twenty-three labor banks are
either doing business or are about
ready for business. This has beer
achieved in three years.
Opening of the Federation Trust
Company in New York City marked
the seventeenth labor bank to open
its doors for business. Eight others
are being organized. some of which
are to open their doors within the
next few weeks.
The development of labor banking
has been phenomenal, although
marked by careful judgment and
banking caution. In the main labor
banks differ from other banks in three
important respects:
/. Stock is held by trade unionistg
except for few shares held by neees-
sary experts.
2. Stock per person Is limited Ia
small amounts, preventing control by
small groups.
3. Dividends usually are limited
with surplus profits going to deposit
tors.

FORWARD, NOT
BACKWARD" is
McADOO'S SLOGAN

"All this talk of back to the past Is
futile," declared William G. McAdoo
in a speech at Chattanooga last week.
arguments for the restoration OF
conditions of bygone day or merely
appeals for time that can't come
back"
ave must think in terms of the
present and the future; we must use
vision and courage if we are not GO
ing backward into a period of decay
and decline from which we can never
recover. Such arguments as back to
this or that remind me Of the verse
"The lightning bug is brilliant,
But he hasn't any mind.
He travels round day and night
With his headlight behind.
1--WE must not be like the lightning
bug and have our headlights on be-
hind. There are more complex and
difficult problems in the world today
than ever before in history. These
are not all the result of world war.
Many of them arose just from the
growth of the world and its increasing
complexity. -.
"Such conditions can't be met with
partisan politics. Why should peace
for the world and prevention OF wars
in the world be matter of party
politics? Why should the Democrats
be for peace and the Republicans
against it? / am just as much inter
ested in the saving of lives of Repub-
licans as Democrats, because they are

CURB BIG BUILDING
SAYS DONLIN; GIVE
DWELLINGS CHANCE

BY international Labor News Service.
Washington, d. C.-John Denlin,
President Of the Building Trades De-
partment of the American Federation
of Labor, heartily approves the move
ment to eurtail building construction
in the United States.
Everybody who is not blinded by
temporary profits realizes the need
OF taking measures to check imitation
IN the building industry says Mr..
Donlin. "lf building programs are
not halted to some extent, builders
will continue to bid against each
other for the services of workmen
and for materials until prices sky
rocket and force a reaction that will
affect all industry. IL the study of
business cycles has taught US any
thing, 1t has taught us the necessity
of doing all in our power TO keep in
dustrial conditions on a normal plane
or else we must again suffer the con-
sequences of inevitable defation.
Employment conditions are now
highly unbalanced; We must begin
planning in national way now to
prevent further unemployment"
Ii is said that bankers are an eff
fective group in checking the present
mad rush in the building industry.
They can postpone great deal of
building until a more Favorable time
by refusing to make excessive loans
on big building construction. This
has been done within the last few
weeks in New York City. There
building construction had increased
to five times normal production. The
building labor supply. in the East was
not sufficient to supply the demand
for workmen. Under such eircum-
stances il was inevitable that prices
should soar and that the efficiency of
the average workman would be re-
duced. Lack of building during the
war Is responsible for present eondi-
tons. Material manufacturers are
reaping a harvest. Rents continue
to soar.
One of the evils of the present
situation, according to Mr.. Donlin, is
the fact that home building must give
way to monumental building. A
workman prefers to work on a big
office building because that work is
more regular and he is not forced
to lug his tools around daily, Fur
thermore, it is the big constructors
working against time who offer the
biggest bonuses. While monumental
building is given preference by every
body--bankers, builders, dealers, and
workmen-fewer homes are built and
rents continue to rise.
What everybody interested in
continuous prosperity in the building
industry wants." says Mr.. Donlin,
lis to postpone as much as possible
of the construction of big buildings
in order to check imitation. This kind
of building can then be taken up
again as soon as conditions begin APP
preaching the normal"

ARTHUR HOLDER is ELECTED
As FIELD SECRETARY FOR
WORKERS EDUCATION BUREAU

had the most cordial cooperation OF
some of the most distinguished teach
ers In our colleges in the promotion
Of workers education and will con.
unue to seek the cooperation of the
ableSt university teachers in the de-
yelopment of this movement. The
Bupreau welcomes every generous ef-
fort at the extension of higher edu-
cation and believes profoundly that
higher education is an indispensable
aspect of democratic citizenship and,
should be universal and lifelong.
The Committee is likewise of the
opinion that as the workers educa-
ton movement represents the DELHI
crate effort on the part of the labor
movement and working people gen
orally to serve the educational aspi-
fations of workers that it should en-
courage workers to the fullest meas
ure Of responsibility in the initiative
and democratic management of their
efforts at Self-education. That work
erS' education should spring from the
workers as their voluntary expression
and rest upon them as their collective
responsibility is the wisdom of edu-
cation and the wise policy of the
trade union movement.
In addition the Committee gave
consideration to the development of
Weekend and Summer Schools for
Workers, and authorized its sub-com-
mittee TO prepare programs for all
workers groups that intend establish
ing such Weekend and Summer
Schools. One of the first of these
workers summer schools to be estab-
lished west of the Mississippi will be
held from July LIST to Sth in Estes
Park, Colorado, under the auspices
of the Dover Labor College. A
Training School for Teachers of
Workers Glasses was also favorably
acted upon.

NEW SOUTHERN
NEGRO INSISTS
UPON JUSTICE

Charlotte, N. C.-The negro born in
The new south, schooled in the white
mans language, mathematics, reas-

for the negro migration to the north
because he refuses to labor all year
and then be told he is indebted to the

The above summarizes views of W.
p. Evans, influential negro, writing
in the Charlotte Observer on move
ment that is being discussed through
out the south.
The writer says the negro loves the
south and he belongs here, but ION
plantation after plantation" the negro
tenant farmer, together with his wife
and all the family, work from Janu-
airy to Christmas on the promise that
he is to receive a third of the cotton
crop for his labor.
around Christmas eve the poor la
borer stand soutside the commissary
awaiting fer his portion of the crop
with which to buy his wife nav
dress and his children shoes and
clothes. His boss man says to him:
We'll, Sandy, you did little better
this year, you've paid all of your back
debt and don't owe but S119 on this
years debt
"The negro is not shown by an
itemized statement what this years
debt is for.
"He returns. to his shanty, crest
fallen and discouraged. TO greet the
anxious hearts of his naked and bare
foot children around Christmas time.
"They must show the new negro, by
itemized statements, what makes this
years debt; in too many, many cases
the landlord being unused to this new
demand, deems it impudence on the
part of the new negro; resistance sets
up, and the negro, conscious of his
weak standing, falls back on the pow
err of least resistance and the next
year that farm is vacant and the
negro is in the iron works of Penn
sylvania."

PENNSYLVANIA COOPERATIVE
DAIRY SERVES PRODUCERS
AS WELL As CONSUMERS
(By American Cooperative
Commission.)

Every patron a partner is the
trick that turned the trade for the
Somerset Dairy Cooperation Of John
ston, Pennsylvania. Only three years
old, the sturdy little cooperative Is
now carrying on business Of s20l,-
041 year, which was its record for
1922. Milk, cream, cheese, buttermilk,
and butter-all of extra quality and
of the highest standard of purity
are its chief wares. While the turn
over in 1922 fell off few dollars from
that Of 1921, which was $202,5 the
efficiency Of The plant greatly in
creased Due TO good management
and careful planning administration
costs were reduced from 1879 per
cent of the total income to 1852 per
cent. As a result the profit earned
in the business rose from 2.79 per
cent to $40 per cent Of the total in
come.
This vigorous young cooperative
has contracts with both its producers
and its employees. 1t aims to deliver
all its products at as near actual cost
as is practicable after paying the
usual price to producers, deducting
the expenses Of operation and deliy-
cry, and an amount sufficient TO pay
six per cent on the investment. What
ever net earnings accrue due 70 good
management are used for the benefit
of both the producers and the con-
sumers. The management believes
there are two guarantees Of successful
cooperation in their business; good
milk, and interested and alert driy-
ers. And because they are insisting
on the highest standards in both they
are steadily winning the trade away
