PONCTURED TIRE
EASY TO REPAIR
No Longer Necessary to Resort
to 0ld-Fashioned Method in Z
Fixing Up a Leak.

With the large number Of conven.
lent vulcanizers that are now on the
market 1t is no longer necessary to use
the old-fashioned cold patch when a
punctured tire has to be repaired. A
cold patch. under certain conditions,
will prove satisfactory. but it is only
an emergency patch at its best. The
modern automobllist will add small
vulcanizer to his emergency equip
ment, and then, with perhaps few
minutes more time expended, a perma-
nent repair can be made. When the
yulcanizer is chosen 1t should be large
enough to handle blowout or pune
ture at least one inch In diameter, as
It is just as easy to make repair Of
this size as smaller one.
With all repairs except a pinhole
backing must be provided inside the
tube for the gum rubber to rest on
while 1t is being cured. THIS will hold
the rubber in position and help 1t unite
the fractured edges of the tube.
Treating Small Puncture.
When treating small puncture the
hole should be slightly enlarged by
cutting circular hole This will make
1t easier to insert the backing and also
provide clean edge for the gum to
take hold Of. In the case Of large
hole, this should also be trimmed, SO
that the hole will be either circular or
oval. After the hole is trimmed the
inside of the tube should be scraped
over large enough surface to receive
the backing strip. This strip can be
made from piece OF an old inner
tube and should be large enongh to
allow liberal margin all around the
hole. Clean the upper surface Of this
strip we'll, roll 1t up, and push 1t
through the hole into the tube. When
1t Is inside arrange 1t so that 1t is in
the proper position. It is then ready
to receive the cement This can best
be applied with small stick, which is
Inserted between the tube and the
patch on one side, while the other
edge is held securely to prevent its
moving. The tube Is now treated in

the usual way. The gum is put on and
vulcanized and a perfect section will
be the result. The reason for applying
the cement after the backing strip is
in place, is that 1t is very difficult to
insert and locate the strip when 1t is
cemented.
Vulcanlzer Sticks.
Sometimes the vulcanizer has a
tendency to stick to the patch after 1t
is cured. To prevent this, place a
piece Of cloth over the rubber and be-
tween the patch and the face Of the
vulcanizer. 1t will then be found easy
to tear this off Of the repair after the
vulcanizing is done.

garage.
The floor should be made appro1-
mately five inches thick and should
be laid upon bed of tamped cinders
or gravel, so that adequate drainage is
provided. The floor drain should be In
serted In the center of the floor and
the floor made to slope toward 1t from
all directions; a pitch Of one-eighth
inch per foot is sufficient. One course

probably the simplest; the mixture OF

In building Of this kind, which is
approximately 20 feet square, 1t is
advisable to use hip roof. that Is.
to have the roof sloping In four di-
rections as this apparently lowers the
height of the roof. 1t is practically as
economical as any other type Of roof
and is easily constructed.

COAL DEALERS
FIGHT FEDERAL
FUEL YARD

Washington.-Th national retail
coal association and Washington coal
dealers have mobilized their forces to
persuade Secretary of the Interior
Work to recommend to congress the
abolition of the government fuel yard
which was established by congress
some years ago to protect the govern
ment against the greed of profiteering
coal middlemen.
The government has one of the most
up-to-date coal distributing plants in
the United States, including deliv-
cry service. The coal is bought di-
rectly from the mines and resold to
government establishments at cost
plus distributor expense. The opera
ton of the yard has saved the gov
ernment thousands of dollars.
Work doesn't believe in government
intervention in business and is under
stood to be lending a sympathetic ear
to the walls of the coal profiteers.

Chicago, Ill.-During the 9-yeal
period from 1911 to 1920 the Bakery
and Confectionery Workers Interna-
tional Union of America increased
wages for bench and machine hands
from SIS and SIG to nearly $40 a

stitute the peak and high water mark

frequently referred to as war
wages. 1t was these wages that the
reactionary employing element con
centrated all their attacks on in an
effort to break them down, and
against which militant resistance was
maintained by our local unions during

OLD AGE ANNUITY
For Workers Provided at

Ottawa, Canada.-The Dominion
government department of labor is
administering a system of annuities
for wage workers under which any
person over five years of age domi-
ciled in or resident of Canada can
insure themselves against poverty in
old age.
In a statement explaining the an
nuity system by Minister of Labor
Murdock, who administers the sys-
TEN, it is pointed out worker 25
years of age who wishes to provide
himself with an annuity of $500 to
begin at so is required to make a
monthly payment of but $3.43, or
about 80 cents a week. If at the age
of 40 he desires to increase the an
nuity to $500 the additional monthly
payment is $8.47.
Should the worker die before he
reaches the age of 60 all his payments
plus per cent compound interest will
be returned to his heirs.

THORNY PATH TROD
BY ENGLISH UNIONS
AZ First Practically outIswed, the
Workers Have Steadily Forced Rec

Result of One Court Decision.

Trades unions In England at first
were generally frowned upon. AS early
az 1905 law was passed In England
defining certain trades union efforts to
raise wages as an illegal conspiracy.
In 1o49 another law prohibited COM
binations Of craftsmen to keep up
wages or reduce hours. In 1918 the
courts sentenced certain cotton spin
ners TO prison for conspiracy to raise
wages. About the middle Of the Nine
teenth century the unions found them
selves 80 far outside the law that
they had no recourse against their off,
cials who might embezzle their funds.
They were held TO be, II not actually
criminal, yet so far In restraint OF
trade that the organization was an IL
legal association. This was q heavy
blow. II started a fight which con-
sumed several years before, In the
'70s, they obtained legislative certifca-
ton OF their legality. complete pro-
lection OF their funds, and legal safe
guards against being sued.

Of all legislation enacted for the pro-
lection of the American workers, the
American people, and American stand
ards" asserts the executive council
of the American Federation of Labor
in a report on the immigration re-
striction question.
when traced to its hidden lair it is
found that the propaganda emanated
from the great corporations that pay
the lowest wages and enjoy the high
est protection of any industries in
the country"
The council points out that the
propaganda for the removal of the
present 8 per cent immigration re-
striction law was mainly carried on
during the last congress by such no
torious anti-unicn employers associa-
items as the National Association of
Manufacturers and the Merchant
Tailors' Association
Through the influence of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor the per
cent restriction was extended to June
80, 1924.
The employer advocates of unre-
stricted importation of cheap alien
workers to beat down the living
standards of American workers in the
interests of higher profits for invested
capital are still busy.
1t behooves labor to be constantly
on its guard to nullify this un-Ameri-
can propaganda.
