There is no money in a cheap man.
Nearly all first-class workers belong
to their trade organization; they set
the pace for good workmanship and
get union wages. The poor workman
is not worth any kind of wages.
When workers are enjoying good
wages the community in which they
live is generally prosperous. The
average union man lives we'll, or bet
ter than the non-union worker. His
family is better taken care of. Union
men spend the greater part of their
wages in the stores and shops in the
districts in which they live, and
there is a general circulation Of their
wages amongst all business interests.
Go into non-union town and you
will find the average small business
man practically starving to death.
The union workman, because he earns
decent wages, pays his bills and
leaves an impression of decency, fair
ness and square-dealing on the mind
of any man or woman with whom he
does business.
Under those conditions, so plain,
so open, facts that are so undisputed,
is it not more than strange that we
find, here and there, throughout the
country, men and women who can
not understand the benefits obtaining
from trade union organizations; men
and women who are so blind to their
own protection, that they refuse to
see the light? Still, this is an un-

Now the office girls, they tell US,

They will ask for higher wages, and

They will use no rouge or powder

And you're likely to have trouble if

The proofreader on a small middle

day a reporter succeeded in getting

On the following day the reporter
found on his desk frigid note ask

AUTO OUTPUT AIDS
USED CAR MARKET
Recent Building of Better Cars Cuts
Number of Trade-Ins, Pre-
venting Glut.
LONG-LIvED MACHINES ASKED
Manufacturers Urged to Encour-
age Desire for Sturdy Motors.

With automobiles being turned out
at the rate of 100000 or more
year, what is the outlook. so far as
the used car market is concerned?
At first thought one would con-
clude that this vast yearly increase
in the number of motor cars could
not but aggregate the overstocked
condition of the used car market, for
it is natural to assume that the
more cars that are made and sold
the more cars will find their way to
the used car market.
THE manufacturing of automobiles
can continue at the present rate for
many years to come without affect
ing the used car market to any con-
siderable extent, provided the present
trend among car buyers continues
and provided motor car builders take
steps to meet this trend" is the
opinion of 8. J. Westcott president
of the Westcott Motor Car Company.
Better Cars Bought.
The trend among the 15.000,00o
present car owners is undeniably up
ward. When these owners are in the
market for their next car their am
than the one they now possess-to
buy a car which will be all that they
desire and which they will be salts
fed to keep for several years rather
than to trade it in at the end of a
year or two.
How this buying tendency will
affect the used car market is a SIM
pie problem in mathe tics. Sup
pose 100000 people this year buy
cars of such quality that they will
be satisfied to keep them for at least
five years before disposing of them
This means that these cars will not
reach the used car market for five
years to come.
In other words, if five years were
the normal period of ownership of a
car before it was traded in, instead Of
one year, as it has been in a large
majority of cases in the past, a car
would be in the used car market only
once in the first five years of its life
This would mean that there would be
only one-hfth as many used cars on
the market in any one year as there
would be if cars were traded in every
year.
Demand Tor Cars Growing.
Naturally the thought arises that
If the day should come when cars are
so substantially built that they would
be Kept by their original owners for
at least five years, the market for
new cars would be greatly curtailed
Such would indeed be the case were
1t not that each year the automobile
market grows larger than the preced-
Ing year, and considering the com
paratively small percentage of the
worlds civilized population as vet
supplied with motor cars, it is only
logical to conclude that the yearly in
crease in demand will be even greater
IN the years to come than it has been
in the past.
1t is only question of time, of
course. before the demand of car own
ers Tor long-lived cars will force all
automobile manufacturine to move to
higher plane-and the used car
problem will then vanish as quickly
as 1t made its appearance few years
ago, when automobile production was
speeded up to point a million or
hisner than most people
imagined would ever be reached"

Strong invasion of the motor
vehicle abroad. invited by delegates
from foreign countries. is being made
by the American automobile industry,
which has delegated Alfred Reeves,
general manager of the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce,
to make two-month study of the
European field.
Mr.. Reeves, who sailed on the Ma
jestic yesterday, will visit seven
foreign countries: England, France.
Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Hol-
land and Austria.
This survey is an outgrowth Of the
World Motor Transport Congress
held in Detroit in May, at which
were 161 delegates from 56 countries,
speaking Is languages.
The visitors emphasized very
strongly that their countries were
being held back economically be-
cause Of lack of motor transportation
facilities. and invited the National
Automobile Chamber Of Commerce to
guide them in the promotion of motor
transport.
Mr.. Reeves on his trip will confer
with leading governmental officials,
bankers, foreign manufacturers,
dealers and motor club and highway
association executives.

WARNING SIGNS RAISED.
New Markers to Caution Motorist
on Many Roads.

Motorists who can read English
will have little excuse in being
caught at evading speed laws this
summer. Towns throughout the
country are very active in putting
up warning signs, with the aim of
better traffic regulation and of i'm
proved accident record. Here are
several signs with varied appeal, as
reported by one tourist:
This is a good road. It will cost
you money to burn it up
"Slow down. Look before you
weep"
Don't covet your neighbor's side
Of the road"

Congress Re-Opens

The second session of the sixty-eighth congress
just opened will be important not much for what
it will do attempt to do what it will disclose
to be the plans of the various groups in the COM
ing political struggles. At best congress is more
of an indicator of the struggles fought outside be-
fore the masses than arena of battle itself.
The first session of the sixty-eightf congress was
held at time when the processes of political dis
indignation were going on at a swift pace. The
second session is being convened on the morrow
after what appears to the superficial downward
trend in these descriptive processes of politics. In
view of the more favorable conditions for the big
gest business interests in the sixtyninth congress-
there is every likelihood that the reactionary re-
publican forces will avoid sharp clashes in these
closing days of the old congress. Such clashes can
only hurt their case before the Masses much of
whose support they won thru a campaign of ter
rorism, villifcation, intimidation and outright
purchase of votes.
But let none make the mistake of thinking that
the reactionaries, flushed with victory, will tarry
long before consolidating their November victory.
Their decision on removing LaFollette BroOkhart,
Ladd and Frazier from their committee posts
shows which way the wind of their temper blows.
In the coming sessions of congress there is every
reason to believe that the so-called progressive
forces will show an even weaker front than they
did last year. The reactionaries will show much
stronger front. However, let no one conclude that
this is proof that capitalist reaction is in the
tendency for a long time to come in the United
States. We recall what happened to the Harding
landslide within two years. The actual class strug-
giles are in reality fought outside, fought outside
the halls of congress by the working against
the exploiters and their allies ranging from the
trade union reactionary officialdom to the weak
kneed petty bourgeoisie. While the immediate out
look for clashes in congress is slim, the outlook
for gigantic mass struggles is becoming more GER
tain.

Pittsburgh Mining
District Gains One
More Y.W.L. Branch
BY CLARENCE MILLER.
Especial to The Daily Worker)

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Dec. 1.-The
newly organized branch of the Young
Workers League in Rural Ridge, Pa.
is the third branch in the mining
towns in the Pittsburgh district. The
branch when organized consisted Of
eight members but it is expected that
the membership will increase consid-
erably at the next meeting when the
new recruits will bring the message
of the Young Workers League to the
other young miners and workers in
the town.
There are not many young miners
in the town at present as most of the
mines in the neighborhood are shut
down. The miners are compelled to
either leave or work in the steel mills.
An interesting incident at the or.
ganization meeting was the attend
ance Of the father of one Of the young
miners, also miner. He came to
the meeting he said to find out what
it was all about. On learning that
a Communist organization was being
formed and that they expected to fight
for all the problems of the young
workers in that town, he not only ap
proved his sons joining the league
but actively participated in discuss
ing plans for the growth of the
branch. After the meeting he talked
to the party members present and it
is expected he will join the party.
