Quality Counts
in Tractors So
Buy With Care

Good mechanics and engineers
will tell you that they would rather
have second hand automobile of
high grade, than brand-new low
grade ear, for quality counts, and
when quality is built into Il machine
mt the factory, il remains with it to
the end, but if quality is not built
into it, its performance can never
be that of Il quality product.
This is just as true of tractors
as of automobiles. n good example
rs found i'm the instance recently re-
ported in trade magazine. a
farmer bought a tractor nine years
ago, and besides using it for his
own work, earned 1925 with it by
doing custom work.
At thesend of five years he turn
cd i; in on new machine. The
dealer sold the old tractor to anoth
Cr farmer who used it with excellent
satisfaction for four years. This
year is was again traded in on a.
new tractor, and the dealer says it
is in good condition to give another
ternt of first-class service, although
il has already done more work than
two or three cheap tractors could be
expected to do.

OUT OF THE RUHR

The radical government that is being formed
in France by Edouard Herriot, as result of Poin-
cares recent election defeat plans to get out of the
Ruhr just soon as Germany puts the Dawes repara
ton program into effect.
If this be 'radicalism let conservatives in France
and elsewhere, make the most of it. 70 most Ameri
cans, it looks like mere sense after the fail
ure of Poncare's bood-and-iron policy in the Ruhr
during the last two years.
Herriot will not have to get much reparation out
of the Germans to get than Poincare did. 1t
likely at present that the Germans will meet him
about half way. Certainly with this policy in view if
they sensible they will acquiesce fully in the pay
rnen plan of the committee of experts in order to get
rid of the French army possible, and start
the national economic machinery to functoning again.
That would mean not only money to pay France,
but saving for France in being able safely to reduce
her army and therefore keep down taxes. II large

Boys, you'd better hurry!
There are yetea a few scout mas
ters in the county whose troops have
been meeting regularly since the
beginning of the efficiency contest
and who have not filed any report
on behalf of their troops. When
the CaleXico Rotary Club trophy is
awarded after the first of July,
which is the closing date of the

disappointed.
Scout masters are urged TO send
the report covering the full time, to
scout Headquarters at once.

Summer camp folders will be
mailed this week to every scout in
the county,.
Adult leaders will be charged no

How many purchasers of forbidden liquor have
been fined elsewhere? Perhaps not many 1t is
curious thing that enforcement of the prohibition
amendment should become onesided affecting only
the sellers.
The enforcement laws, in the main, have sought to
control only the commercial traffic in liquor, evil

RESPECT FOR LIFE

In celebrated murder in progress in
New York 81 talesmen out of $50 had to be excused
from jury duty because they declared themselves
unaterably opposed to capital punishment under any
circumstances.
Here is vigorous expression of sentiment found
all over the country. Americans less and less in
cned to participate In legal executions Though they
may approve capital punishment in theory they
likely to balk when it to sentencing
woman to death by their vote.
Yet country is pre-eminent in the murder rate.
Isn't it strange that nation which takes human life
lightly by violent and illegal methods should show
much hesitation to take it by orderly legal methods?
If life is respected in the jury box why not in the
home, office, factory and public highway?

New Degree of
: Efficiency In
Making of Tires

The high degree to which produc.
tion efficiency has bccu brought
about in the plants of The p. r.
Goodrich Rubber Company, is par.
ticularly noticeable TO a. visitor
who calls at the plant at this sea-
son of the year.
Production of Goodrich Tires is
being accomplished through the
elimination of lost time aud waste
at a saving which was undreamcd
of five or six years ago. And the
fact remains that probably the
most astonishing thing about this
economy is that with the advance
of efficiency in Manufacture has
come n steady Improvement in the
product.
In the old DAYS one of the biggest
items of waste in tire manufacture
came in the fabric that the tire
builder trimmed off.
This item was also very impor-
tant gauge to the quality of the
tire. for the tire builder who had
a, inrge trim was stretching his
plies too much making the tire ear
cass too tight and susceptible to
bre;xagc under strain. On the
other hand the tire builder whose
trim was practically negligible
was not stretching his plies tight
enough and the result might show :
in Il wrinkled ply which in the end !
would weaken the carcass.
Since the advent of mechanical :
tire building means the product !
becomes more uniform and labor is /
not such factor governing tire !
quality. Today in the Goodrich ,
factory detailed records are kept of /
the number of ounces of fabrics /
trimmed from each tire by each !
machine operator. These
figures are constantly checked by
inspectors and waste speeialists-i
who are able to correct the machine
Or builder when the slightest varin-
lion occurs. In this way the high
standard of quality that is so con
sistently shown in long mileage re-
cords is maintained in every tire

fewer deaths during Immediately following va

common about outdoor life.
Drowning has long been the leading item among
recognized vacation fatalities Drownngs diminish
steadily people learn how to swim and how to

blight upon summer outings. PoSt-vacation typhoid
deaths diminish with the improvement in water supply
and the spread of knowledge regarding contaminated
water and its avoidance.
Not the least cause of vacation safety is the in

Educating Young America

A nationwide campaign with the object of in
stilIing the american ideal" in the hearts OF
everyone has been launched here in Chicago by a
number of persons who are worrying about the
welfare of our great nation
The type of persons who are doing all the worry.
ing is interesting. The City Club, the Union
League Club, the Woman's City Club, the Associa
tion of Commerce and the Kiwanis Club were all
represented at the preliminary meeting.
One Rosenthal, contractor who employs many
workers, is chairman of the literature committee
and the speakers bureau is headed by Professor
George Vincent of the Rockefeller foundation.
Assistant City Superintendent Of Schools Hogge
was also present and promised that the burning
message of the "American ideal" would be placed
in the hands of every one of the 100000 Chicago
school children.
This will be of great help to these little Ameri
cans when we 60 to war for the House Of Morgan or
the Rockefelers or some other patriotic group and
shows the exceptional educational facilities en-
joyed by American children. We hope the leaflets
issued will point out that the Russian children
are deprived of the manifest advantages of having
no capitalists to get slaughtered for.
The daily worker., 1924-04-18

In st. Louis the painters union is engaged
in struggle with the bosses but gets little or
no support from other building trade organiza-
tions and this experience is duplicated dozens of
times in every industrial center
The building trades crafts were more militant
in their earlier history than they are now they
developed the sympathetic strike and the doc
trine of IAN injury to one is an injury to all" to
a high point while the building industry was of
a more competitive nature.
OF late years the ofIiciadom of the building
trades unions has sought to force policy of
arbitration and Cancellation on the membership
and this has resulted in almost complete de-
moralization; true, wages are still high and con-
ditions fairly good but only because of a build
ing boom and the consequent demand for skilled
labor
The building industry is peculiar; If con-
tractor can prevent strike until the building is
finished he can without much fear of reprsal,

climate and does so. Craft division, combined
with the yielding to the safe entreaties of the
employers agents for "peace and harmony" has
put the trade unions in a precarious position.
Faced with a like situation the building trades
unions of England amalgamated and multiplied
their power many times In America the same
remedy is indicated but it can only be accom-
plished by an organization such as the Trade
Union Educational League which recognizes
that the mere logic of an idea is not enough to
obtain general recognition but that ideas must
be given organizational backing and unity of
purpose on the part of the rank and file who
want progress be opposed to the unity of an
of1cialdom for whom everything is all right just
as it is as long as they draw their very salts
factory salaries.

part of the municipalities to make
the combine pay towards the upkeep
Of the roads in repair.
In these circumstances we urge
the working class Of this country
to demand an end to this serving
Of capitalist interests by the La
Dor Government.
We are faced with situation in
which the whole of the organized
workers are definitely in revolt a.
gainst starvation conditions. The Ca
pitalists are making desperate at
tempts to play off the unskilled men
against the skilled men. the sheltered
trades against those trades subject to
foreign competition. 1t is surely no
part of the Labor Government to be
assisting in this business. Their po-
Icy is simple one, and one that the
workers will understand. That is to
use the advantages of being a govern
ment on behalf of the class they are
supposed to represent.
The miners situation gives them
one further opportunity of redeeming
their otherwise despicable and reac-
tionary record. If this is not taken
and the Government refuses to intro
duce a minimum wage bill that will
guarantee the miners wage equal to
their 1924 rate plus the increased cost
of living, then we hope that the work
ers will sweep away these middle
class bourgeois politicians and replace
them by men who understand what
poverty and struggle for existence
means.
