MOTOR CAR

Value so pronounced that you are justified
in looking upon the purchase of Dodge
Brothers Motor Car as the soundest possible
investment in transportation.
Not dollar is added to the purchase price
to support free service policy; nor to
cover the costliness of numerous body or
chassis types; nor to pay interest on bor-
rowed money; nor to maintain a multiple
organization of middlemen.
Dodge Brothers finance themselves. They
sell directly through single organization
Of dealers to you. They do not believe in
charging in advance for service you may
never need. They have developed re-
markable economies, and time seasoned
product, by concentrating on standard
types.
These facts are reflected, not only in the
price of the Car, but in the quality of
workmanship and materials that enter into
its construction

THE UNION LABEL.

(Int. Typographical Union Service)
Like a giant searchlight the Union
Label shines to guide the gropng
consumer in his quest for sound pro-
ducts. The buyer nearly always
works in the dark. He mus depend
on the reputation of the seller Tor
assurance that the merchandise he
gets will be god. The guarantee OF
no manufacturer or merchant quite
EQUALS the Union Label as surety OF
sound value.
Union workmanship Is always de-
pendable. Furthermore products OF
union shops are always made under
healthful conditions and will not
carry infections.
For union men there are many rea-
sons for searching out label bearing
goods. 1t has been repeatedly de-
clared by wise union leaders and by
disinterested economists that the
battle of labor will be won the day
all staunch unionists and their wives
come to realize their duty to buy only
union-made goods and service. The
label affords a method for organlZ-
ing labor in a two-fold way-first as
producers and second as consumers.
Labor is the most important consum-
ing class in the country.
Every time a union member buys
unfair" gods he strikes blow at
the union craftsmen in that trade,
which blow naturally was reacts
against the buyer and all union
workers.
American workers depend upon
economic rather than political means
to advance their causes. The strike
is an economic weapon. Its use IS
we'll understood and ample proof has
been offered of the workers unsWerV-
ing loyalty in collective bargaining
When understanding OF the Union
Labels importance reaches INTO az
trades, the consumers power VIII
compare favorablv with the pro-
ducers power in the struggle for IN
dustrial justice.
Cooperation between union mem
bers in general and such organize
tions as the building trades would
mean more work for honest crafts
men, besides exercising a very dis
couraging influence on the open
shoppers" Indeed, there is no limit
to the possibilities of Label League
cooperation.
II union workman is no grafter.
If he was not honest by nature he
would not be toiling for an honest
living. 1t is a we'll established truth
that union workmanshi- means hon
est value. Further, it is perfectly
reasonable to believe that the even.
tual acceptance of the "closed shop
by employers will mean fairer values
to consumers of all products. The
public generally will come to learn
that the Union Label serves as a
check on graft, when union members,
themselves, nrove their faith in the

FAULTY CAR SERVICE.

The national coal association, rep
resenting the coal owners, has joined
the grand anvil chorus against the
railroads because of faulty car SER
vice. The coal owners declare that
wherever coal shortages exist the
situation can be traced to the rail
roads.
Organized shop men have been
making this statement for several
months. Only recently President
Harding took the same position, and
now the coal owners make it unani-
NOUS. The railroads that are mainly
responsible for this situation in the
anthracite region are the Pennsylva-
MIA, the Lehigh Valley and the Della
ware & Hudson. They are also lead
ers in the fight against the shop
men.

Labor. Notes

members OF the Molders' union Of
Aurora, ILL.,, were notified that they
will be granted an increase Of 16 per
cent in their wages beginning January
l. They are all on piece work and re-
ceive good pay. The increase applies
only to stove molders and is general
throughout the United States.
Workers in the building trades
would consent to decrease in wages

Production in 10 factories of Haver-
hill, Mass, has been tied up by the

CHILD LABOR INCREASING.

According to the children's bureau
of the federal Department of Labor,
something like half million children
under the age of IA years are now
working at manual labor in this
country.
1t develops that this large increase
is traceable directly to two Supreme
attempt by congress to outlaw the
labor of children. Most employers
who had been restrained by the laws
lost no time in filling their factries
with children who are scarcely more
than babies.
All too numerous is the tvDe of en-
ployer who interprets the injunction,
"Suffer title children t come unto me
and forbid them not" as having an
immediate and direct bearing upon
his cost of operation, and nothing
less than a proof law will re-
strain this odious form of greed.

FRESH AIR NECESSARY.

The United States bureau of mines
has issued a warning against Sleep
ing in a room in which a flueless heat
er is burning without having at least
one window wide open to sun"ly ade-
quate ventilation. This precaution,
it is stated, would have prevented
many deaths during the mast few
months.
The bureau says improper combus-
tion of natural gas in heating apnli-
ances in common use may liberate
carbon monoxide, an insidious and
deadly gas. This gas is so deadly
that quantities as low as or per cent
may destroy life in short time. I'm
like illuminating and other gases,
carbon monoXide has no odor; it's
presence can not be detected.

CAPITALS OPPORTUNITY.

Wall street interests speak OF 1873
as private capitals opportunity. They
refer to the railroads. They are
right. The Interstate Commerce
Commission has twice affirmed that
no general rate reduction will be
warranted until the carriers have
consolidated their financial condition.
The railroad Labor board has SINH
larlv affirmed that railroad employees
must endure unreasonably low wages
until the carriers are once again on
their feet financially. And congress
has gone home. To quote the Wall
Street Journal: "In all human "rob-
ability no legislation, for good or i'll,
can be effected for year to come" ="
Obviously it is private capitals op-
portunity because both the railroad
employees and the public have been
delivered into its hands with no
chance to strike back through elected
representatives until 1924.
Private capital has always con-
tended that it required generous
profits as an incentive to assist IN
meeting the traffic demands of the
nation. The year 1928 is expected to
furnish such profits. The Wall
Street Journal says: "By every token
to which business men are accus-
toned to give heed, the current year
promises to be the best the railroads
have enjoyed since 1916 and, with
that exception, the best in II or even
Is years"
This year will ~rove even better
than 1916 unless the railroads man
age to divert a considerable 'art OF
their profits to the supply and equip
ment corporations which are owned
bv the same interests that control
the railroads Reports for the month
of January confirm this belief. For
the first month of the year Glass i
railroads more than doubled the
profits earned last January, showing
net profits of $60,654, 700 in contrast
with S29,486,000 a year ago. With
the exception of the New England
roads and the coal carriers practi-
cally all the roads of the country
showed material improvement in this
net income figure.
Nine important carriers, which
have refused to deal with their or
ganized employees, show a distinct
falling off in net income. These are
the Boston & Maine, the Central
Railroad of New Jersey, the Della
ware q Hudson, the Delaware, Lack
awanna & Western, the Lehigh Val
lev, the New York, New Haven &
Hartford, the Norfolk & Western,
the Virginia, and the Texas & Pa
cific. For January they show a de-
ficit of nearly a million dollars in
contrast with four and a half mil
lion dollrs' profit a year ago.
With these exceptions the tend
ency is towards rapidly mounting
profits. Railroad interests expect to
be able to extract enough revenue
from the people to provide for the ex-
ceEsive expenditure on new equip
ment made necessary by their bung-
ling management of the transporta-
ton system, and in addition to turn
over the generous profit which pri-
vate capital requires.

cent of all children in America are
born normal, whereas less than 20
per cent reach maturity in normal
physical health.
"Much constructive work has been

SATURDAYS GAME

Jupiter Pluvius conspired
against the citizens of Baseball
dom Saturday afternoon. HIS
conspiracy was, however, only
strong enough to collect ram
insurance and not so great as u
save Weldon from another defeat
at the hands of the Triple r team.
For the third time Lefty
Shields faced the 3R men, and
for the same number of times
was vanquished. There was moth
ing wrong with his offerings,
however, for he pitched master
full game. His support was eX-
cellent, not an errJr being made
behind him; so we cannot lay the
defeat to the other eight men.
The man most responsible for the
drubbing was John Dempster,
Ace of Aces, and pitcher extra
ordinary, who suffering with
sore finger, held them to SIX
scattered hits. While Messrs.
Turner, Smith, Correll, Spikes,
and Towe handled the willow for
the Triple RS in such manner
as to make defeat impossible
While John Dempster was hold
ing Weldon's fast team to three
measley singles during the first
six innings, the Roanoke Rapids
Rosemary team got busy and
scored twice. The first came IN
the second frame. Spikes, 1lrst
up, cracked out a single, and was
sacrificed to second by j. D.
johnson. H. johnson then flew
out to right field, making the
second out. Captain Billy
Towe came to the bat and
"Whiz- Banged" one of Shields
fast ones to deep center for a
double, which sent Spikes across
the triangle for the first tally.
Pee Wee Turner won fame in the
fifth when he connected with a
suitable one and sent it visiting
on the other side of the Avenue.
This gave the Triple RS a two
run margin, under which to rest
But the fighting bunch from five
miles eastward let US know that
we had to be on our toes to beat
them. Hughes, Weldon's snappy
new keystoner, touched Demps-
ter up for a two bagger, and
Johnny johnson followed suit
scoreing him. In the next frame
Minter stepped into the limelight
by knotting the score with a
home run. This terrific clout of
the steady third baseman set the
Weldon fans in a frenzy. They
wanted to win bad; but victory
was not to be theirs. Three
Triple R doubles in succession by
Smith, Correll, and Spikes added
another run to the Roanoke
Rapids Rosemary score which
proved to be just one more than
the Weldon aggregation could
meet.
