der of the Maccabees, who piloted
a Packard Six from Detroit to
Washington last week on a tour Of
inspection of one OF the proposed
routes for the Maccabees' interna-
tional automobile caravan trip to
this city. Twenty-four stops were
made enroute for conferences with
commercial bodies and city Off
Gals, and auto parades held by
local members Of the order in
honor of the pathfinder.
The pathfinder party, which in

licity manager, f. H. Lee, and f.
M. Clements, who filmed the route
for the Metropolitan Motion Pic,
ture Co., left Detroit at 100 p m.

were made at Toledo, Fremont,
Norwalk and Cleveland, where
Mayor c. e. Towne greeted the
party and a Packard eight piloted
it through the city. At Pittsburgh
which was reached the afternoon
of August 81, a parade numbering
1873 cars gave the pathfinder a
tremendous ovation.
249 Miles in Day.
The hardest schedule of all was
safely negotiated on the END,
when il was necessary to drive 249
miles from Greensburg to Harris
burg to keep an appointment with
mountains and making stops at
nine Pennsylvania towns for con-
ferences and local demonstrations
en- route. Leaving Greensburg at
600 a. M, the pathfinder made the
trip in eight and one-fourth hours
running time, reaching Harrisburg
half an hour ahead of schedule ana
making an average speed of thirty
miles an hour, including the noun
tain driving. Here another parade
numbering eighty-seven cars was
held in its honor.

est and paying a visit to Annapolis
and Mount Vernon. The return
trip was started Friday and Will
cover another caravan route
through Cumberland, Wheeling and
Columbus.
This pathfinder trip was the first
of a number which will be held
during the fall and winter. laying
out the routes along which 10000
members of the Maccabees will
drive to Washington next summer
for their quadrennial convention.
With the cooperation of officials OF
the American Automobile Associa-
ton, five main caravan routes have
been laid out from different sec
tions of the, country and work has
been started on the innumerable
feeders which will be mapped out
during the coming months. The
Maccabee auto caravan. which 10
expected to number 5000 cars,
would make a procession forty-five
miles long, if driven single file over
one road at touring speed, and will
be the largest undertaking Of it's
kind in the history OF the motor
car.

FLINT, Mich, Sept. 8. - r. s.
Johnston, general sales manager of
the Flint Motor Company, reports
new high record Of daily ship
ments of Flint Six motor cars be-
ing reaehed July II, when a total Of
PIP cars were shipped or driven
away from the plant to all parts
of the United States.
This record is of exceptional in.
terest inasrnuch as the Flint plant
has been in operation less than a
year and on that date equalled one
third of the daily production of
the largest competitive manufac-
turer of six cylinder cars, a builder
of ten years standing.
Sixty Flint Six dealers of the
Cleveland Flint Company's territory
participated in this record shipment
OF cars by coming to the factory.
M. V. Orion, branch manager of the
Cleveland-Flint Company, made the
following statement in regard to
Flint sales and future prospects:
Our dealer organization reports
that the new Flint Six Forty, slight
ly smaller companion model of the
Flint Six Fifty-five, is meeting with
the approval Of the buying public.
Record sales are predicted for these
lines.
Our dealers are placing an m
creasing number of cars and are
most optimistic regarding future
business conditions"
w. e. Holler, vice president and
general manager of the Flint Motor
Company, expects the continuance
OF the regular increasing schedule
that has periodically prevailed since

The perfection of the inter-
nal combustion engine and the
resultant general use of the
automobile as means of
transportation have been the
greatest influences in the mate
rial and ethical progress of the
world during the last four
years, David Leslie Brown, Of
the National Foreign Trade
Council, told members of the
American Association for the
Advancement of Science in
Cincinnati last week.

lives in one, as compared to
our forefathers, and further

Mr.. Brown declared.
The ability of the farmer to
get his goods to market has in
creased production greatly and
caused a rise in the prices of

he added.

Walkers logic is crystal clear. I'm.

as soon as labor saving machinery is
perfected, which will afford jobs for
less people. AS solution to the I'M

to sit back and wait-but to increase

Mr.. Stone, replying to the miners

over the valuable contracts lost by the
company because it could not operate

money Of the Federation and devoted

He Dodges Responsibility.
But Walker finds way to dodge
the responsibility of his collaboration
with the open shoppers. He blames
it all on the Senate Resolution No.

and he gives the farmers nice little
lecture on how to increase their
profits.

HEARS GITLOW
Central Opera House Is
Packed to Doors
lspeeIsI to rhe oaIIy wOrkerl

I
NEW YORK, September TO-
Despite unfavorabIe weather,
Central Opera House was jam
med to the doors with a cheer
ing mass of workers when the
New York campaign of the
Workers Party was formally
opened here last night with
Benjamin GitIow, candidate for
vice-president on the Com
munist ticket and c. E. Ruthen-
berg, national executive score
tary of the Workers Party, as
principal speakers.
When Gitlow was introduced
he was given an ovation that
lasted Is minutes. Hats were
thrown in the air, the Inter
national" was sung, cheers
were given for the Workers
Party, Soviet Russia and Soviet
America-that is to be.
For Soviet America.
Ruthenberg drew heavy applause,
earlier in the evening when he said
that the workers would take over the
government to smash capitalism. He
declared the workers were quitting
the two old parties for LaFollette, but
they would be disillusioned thru the
failure of LaFollette and his program
to solve their problems. The workers
would then be demanding Soviet
America, declared Comrade Ruthen-
berg.
Continuing, he said, that Coolidge,
Davis and LaFollette could not give
any jobs to the unemployed miners,
or to the slaves of the textile, steel
and clothing trusts. The Workers Re-
public is the only solution.
L. E. Katterfeld, who was recently
released from Joliet prison, Illinois,
spoke for the DAILY WORKER sub
scription drive. Comrade Harry Win.
itsky acted as chairman.
