A TRIBUTE TO LABOR
Judge Says There Were No Labor
Unions When His Father Did
Carpenter Work

In deciding that a trade union has
the right to discipline its members
Superior Judge C. N. Andrews of Cal
ifornia paid, by inference, deserved
tribute to organized labor for it's work
in improving the wages and working
conditions of the toiler. He said:
81 somehow feel sort of affinity
for carpenters; my father was a car
penter and l spent many boyhooc
hours in the shavings of his bench. II
occurred to me in thinking of the con-
trast between my father and the car
penters of today, due to the change
of conditions, considerably, and due
perhaps, to the activities Of organized
labor.
"The conditions were much differ
ent in my fathers time than in the
time of today. My father worked 10
hours day, from 7 o'clock in the
morning until at night, six days in
the week, when he could get a job,
and he got dollar and half a day;
he earned in six full days of 10 hours
eeach, so hours, nine dollars as his
pay check at the end of the week,
while, due to the necessities and
changes, the carpenter Of today who
gets a job earns, think, nine dollars
in one day of eight hours so l con-
gratulate the carpenters of today.
There were no labor unions in the
days when my father did carpenter
work."

EASY NOW
PUNCTURED TIRE is QUICKLY
REPAIRED
No Longer Necessary to Resort to
Old-FashiOned Method in Fixing
Up a Leak

With the large number of conven-
lent vulcanizers that are now on the
market it 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 it's best. The
modern automobilist will add a small
vulcanizer to his emergency equip
ment, and then, with perhaps a few
minutes more time expended, a per-
manent repair can be made. When
the vulcanizer is chosen it should be
large enough to handle a blowout or
puncture at least one inch in dia-
meter, as it is just as easy to make a
repair Of this size as a smaller one.
With all repairs except pinhole a
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 it
unite the fractured edges of the tube.
Treating Small Puncture
When treating a small puncture
the hole should be slightly enlarged
by cutting a circular hole. This will
IiohC IL SdSlef W lilSeIC IHo DdcKlHS
and also provide clean edge for the
gum to take hold of. In the case Of a
large hole, this should also be trim
med, 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 sur
face to receive the backing strip. This
strip can be made from a piece of an
old inner tube and should be large
enough to allow a liberal margin all
around the hole. Clean the upper
surface of this strip well, roll it up,
and push it through the hole into the
tube. When it is inside arrange it so
that it is in the proper position. 1t
is then ready to receive the cement.
This can best be applied with a small
stick, which is inserted between the
tube and the patch on one side, while
the other edge is held securely to pre-
vent its moving.

SWANSON'S ELOQUENT
DEFENSE OF TRUTH

Washington-One of the features
of the Senate investigation of charges
against Senator Wheeler of Montana
was the peroration to truth by Sen
ator Swanson of Virginia.
The committee, of which Senator
Borah was chairman, reported that
the Wheeler indictment in Montana
is frame-up. The Senate accepted
this report by vote of Sc to 5.
Senator Sterling of South Dakota
opposed the report because, he said
the vindication would be circulated in
Montana, and this would put the gov
ernment at disadvantage. To this
Senator Swanson replied:
"The government at a disadvantage
with truth being circulated! The gov
ernment at disadvantage when a
citizen is on trial and the facts are
officially known!
"That government ought to be
cursed, that government ought to be
driven from power, which needs pro-
lection by suppression of the truth
and facts. Such action might embar-
rass the enemies of Wheeler; it might
embarrass the district of Montana,
who has venom against him; it might
embarrass the department of justice.
which started out either to black-mail
him or destroy his character, to have
the truth and facts known; but God
knows no temple of justice was ever
yet desecrated by considering the
facts and the truth.
"This is the first time l have ever
known the position to be taken that
justice could be perverted by publ
cation of the truth.
Islander is always hurt by prop
agation of truth; rumors are always
destroyed by the circulation of truth.
1t is only those who wish to thrive
and succeed with SANDER and by false
accusation and by rumors who desire
to suppress the truth"
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1924-06-13

said, was: "Stay with the traffic; the
first thing officers look for, is the
ducking in and out trying to beat the
line.'"
The other warnings are:
/. Don't rush to cut in ahead at
safety zones.
2. Drive so that you do not tie up
traffic and lay yourself open to arrest
for careless or reckless driving.
3. Obey the speed law. Do not
exceed ten miles per hour in passing
schools or Fairgrounds during the
hours they are in use. Keep within
fifteen miles per hour in congested
districts and twenty-five in uncon-
gested districts.
4. Remember that weather and
traffic conditions are always to be
taken into account in determining the
question Of careful driving. When
weather conditions are dangerous or
traffic heavily congested, extra pre-
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1924-06-13

caution must be used regarding speed
and other traffic regulations.
5. Obey the traffic officers and
signals promptly.
6. Drive according to the rules OF
the road.
7. Don't drive while intoxicated.
In urging motorists to observe
these cautions for their own benefit
and in the interest of public safety,
James also called attention to other
forms Of traffic violation which he
said merited equally the attention of
law enforcement authorities.
"In the campaign against speed
ers," he said, "it is to be hoped that
the authorities will not overlook the
drivers who do more to create traffic
hazards by driving slowly down the
middle of the street and otherwise
violating the law.
Speeding is bad 1t should be
stopped, but speeding is not the only
form of traffic law violation that
creates hazards to vehicles and pc
destrians.
"Merely because it is the most SEN
sational, is no reason why speeding
should come in for violent enforce
ment; for the primary purpose of the
traffic law is to speed up traffic
safely.
"By all means dangerous speeding
should be severely prohibited and
speeding of all kinds should be pun
ished, and in this all motorists should
cooperate to the fullest extent.
'In addition, however, attention
should be distributed over the other
forms of law violations that are det-
rimental to traffic convenience and
safety"
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1924-06-13
A WARNING

A re-opening of the campaign
against speeders in many cities and
villages of Ohio in crowded traffic
court dockets has prompted The Ohio
State Automobile Association to is ae
instructions for the motorist to follow
in order to avoid arrest.
The Importance of these cautions,
Secretary Chas. c.. James said, is
further emphasized because the COM
ing of warm weather is adding thou
sands of cars to those already using
the streets, causing an increase of
congestion and necessitating stricter
adherence to all regulations in the
interest of public safety and the ia
cilitation of traffic.
The most important warning, James

industry is slack, for the reason that
every wage reduction is followed by

 By B. A. C. For Victory

COLUMBUS, Ga, Dec. 29.-(Spe- ciaD aD-Snatching victory from defeat in the last minute of play with as bril- liant and sustained comeback as local cage fans have ever seen on the Camp Benning court, the Blues of the Bir- mingham Athletic club scored a one point win over the Soldiers here tonight, 30-29. Ollie Hilburn, sensational little shot for the visitors, was the big star of a well earned victory for the Slagtown crew as they overcame the early lead obtained by the Infantrymen.
 For 39 minutes the Soldiers had the upper hand when tile ball from a Bir- minham forward fell through the netting into victory's hands.
 It was fiercely fought combat from the beginning to the end, with the most sensational of the fighting taking place in the final few minutes, as the visitors edged up on the local cohorts.

M)PPkE NAMED < COACHES PREXY Lively Debate Over Elec- tiOn, With YOst Also
 Running
By WESTBROOK PEGLER (Leased Wire To The Age-Herald)

NEW YORK, Dec. 29-The Ameri- can association of football coaches, whose members teach thousands of young men the most efficient and ethical methods of trampling on the necks of other men, held their first of their two mid-winter trade union meetings Mon- day afternoon at the Hotel Astor and made up their minds on several refOrma- tions of the rules which govern the art of trampling on the neck.
 They also had slight full, ill-con- cealed by repeated protestations that they meant nothing personal, in de- bate over the nomination of Bob Zup- pike, coach of the University of Illinois, for president. Zuppke was elected after Major McEwan of the Army had made two speeches and a number of after remarks on behalf of Fielding H. Yost, better known as Hurry Up" Yost, of the University of Michigan, whom he nominated as an amendment to the re- port of the committee of nominations.
 Up Against It Before
 One of Captain McEwan's after-re- marks was that he had been up against the steam roller before," and recognized the futility of standing in the path of that mighty political vehicle. Perhaps he didn't mean to slam the door of the meeting room with such a reFerberant wallop whena he left the council after the steam roller had run him down. At any rate, the door did close with a mighty report and the captain later felt impelled to return and remark that there were no hard feelings, because he never dealt in personalities, only in ideas.
 He wanted Yost, notwithstanding the fact that Yost is no longer the direct football coach at Micigan, but athletic director of the whole school, because he said, Yost would, in the expression of the Kiwanis clubs, "sell the idea of football to the country" He didn't say that Zuppke's name would do less than Yost's, but the implication was that it wouldn't do so as well as Yost's would.
 Bad Situation
 Zuppke, who was in the chair at the time, was in rather embarrassing sit uation because he had preceded the debate with a request that they elect as president some active football coach and not an athletic director. After Me Evans first objection, Zuppke amended his remarks to the extent of saying that he had just plumb forgotten that Yost wasn't Michigan's coach any more.
 However" he ventured, facetiously, 'I dare say after that last quarter of the Michigan-Illinois game few weeks ago, that MT. YoSt doesn't teach foot ball any more"
 This seemed to strike Yost in the raw and he got up to remind Zuppke of what Michigan did to Illinois on a past occasion and to promise Zuppke's team some more of the some next fall when they meet at Champaign, III. He also wished to withdraw his name, but Zuppke took a rising vote on it, ignor- ing McEwan's q demand secret bal lot," and YOst got about four votes in A whole room fnll of cnaches
