tspeeIaI . Ths oaIIy w0rksr,

NEW YORK CITY. Dec. 21.-when
william Green was elected to the
presidency of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, the greatest expecta-
tons" Of old Jimmie Duncan, the first
vice-president OF the federation, fell in
collapse. Then he resigned, his
wounded dignity being unable to en-
dure the affront without this gesture.
In resigning, Duncan stated to his
fellow takers that this forty years OF
being Sam Gompers companion and
his position as frst vice-president, en-
titled him to Sans place and that
Green was an intruder and an upstart.
While Duncan appeared to be in his
usual good spirits, he evinced consid-
cradle bitterness at Matte Vol. who
had seconded the nomination of
Green for what Duncan declared were
personal reasons.
Vol had been Gompers' valet all
his life, according to Duncan, and now
knowing that the U. M. W. OF A. ma
chine Is coming into power ia the
federation and is to grab the job Of
secretary of labor, Vol is quite dis
gracefully changing his love to an
other moro masterful character than
himself.
The story being circulated by some
that Duncan was turned down be-
cause of alleged Ill health made the
old Scot furious. He was deeply
angry at the published report that
many of those who voted against him.
said that they would have favored
him II It were a question Of his hold
ing office for three or four months,
but that as 1t will be ten months until
the next convention, they could not
elect Duncan because he might not
live that long.

Senate Takes Up
Debate on Pay of
Postal Employees
lspeeIaI to rhe Daily Workerl

WASHINGTON. d. c., Dec. 81. =
The senate unanimously agreed to be-
gin consideration Of the bill increasing
the pay of postal employees, which
was vetoed by President Coolidge at
the session Of congress, an January 6.
Debate viii be limited to an hour
the first day and ten minutes for each
senator on succeeding days during the
discussion of the bill. Senator Ster-
ling, chairman of the postofice com.
mittee, has declared his intention of
moving that the bill be recommitted
to his committee.
Coolidge has gone to extreme
lengths to defeat the pay increase for
the postal employees. He has spread
the rumor that an employee Of the
senate has accepted bride from one
of the postal workers unions to work
for the bill among his friends in the
senate. That this rumor has been
faxed to serve Coolidge's purposes
was pointed out in the announcement
from the White House that senate
investigation committee will not be
asked, but that the matter will be
turned over to Coolidge's department
Of justice.

That industrial conditions in Ger

that the Moon Motor Car Company
last week received AZ orders for au-

These orders were cabled to the fac

The demand for automobiles in any

is especially true of Germany whose

Therefore, this order for Moon cars

Say 1t Is the Most Impor-
tant Discovery Given to
Automotive Industry Since
Invention Of Self-starter;
Increases Efficiency Of

Years of hard work. and not a
lucky accident, are responsible for the
discovery and perfection of "That
Good Gulf Ethyl Cas-" according to
Thomas Midgely Jr., vice president
and general manager of the General
Motors Chemical Company. manufac-
turers of the new automotive fuel now
being introduced in this district by
the Gulf Refining Company.
Ever since the inception Of the
industry, says Mr.. Midgely. "engi-
neers have recognized that it would
be possible to get greater power and
economy from the use of petroleum
fuels in internal combustion engines
il compression could be increased
without a very objectional fuel knock
developing in the motor. In every
day use, motorists can recognize this
inefficiency in the use of fuel when
their engines knock when accelerated
quickly or when going over hills or
operating under a heavy load with
an advanced spark.
Years Of Experiments.
"For years in the General. Motors
laboratories Mt Dayton, whose work
is devoted to the advancement of the
automotive industry, study, expert
ment and tests have been conducted
to develop something that would in
crease the efficiency of this presents
day fuel. More than $500 substances
were tested in months and months Of
research work, and q score or more
of these substances, that wonld elimi-
nate this trouble, were found. Final
ly, one of these substances was Sc.
lected that would accomplish this
purpose with great efficiency and be
in every way commercially practical.
"During these years. test cars were
driven hundreds OF thousands of miles
and many new testing instruments
were built in developing and produc-
ing this new fuel material. 1t ia
known as Ethyl Fluid and when
mixed in proper proportions with or

THEY REDUCE TAXES
Taxpayers Of Pittsburg Save S65,OO0

Taxpayers Of Pittsburg Save $65, OO(
| BY Usding Taxicabs.
Pittsburg, Pa, April 5.-A divi
dend of the taxpayers of Pittsburf
of more than S65,000 resulted from
] the use Of public taxicab service dur
| ing 1923 in place Of municipality
owned pleasure, cars for the conduct
Of official business.
This fact is revealed in the tabu.
lated report submitted to Mayor w
A. Magee by j. c. Slippy, chief nc.
countant of the steel metropolis. The
saving represents q reduction in taxes
according to Accountant Slippy, while
the city's transportation needs were
served more efficiently than at any
time in its History. ~
Mr.. Slippy's report has been pre-
pared in such form that it is avail.
able to other cities that may be in
terested in saving the taxpayers
money.
"Today the city owns and operates
only two passenger cars for passenger

Slippy states. "One of these cars is

and one to the city paymaster, pub

cials and employees. The cost Of taxi
cab service for 1923 was $10.421.O7.
to which should be added $4,000 as the
operating and maintenance cost of the
two cars mentioned above, making the
cost of official transportation in 1923,
S23,O21.O7. Compared with expendi-
lures in 1921 and 1922 the savings
were $S5,576.7S and $65,374.73 re.
spec.'vcly these figures being equiva-
lent to cut of over one-tenth Of one
mill in the tax bill of Father Pitt
for each year.
"Pittsburg's experience has demon
strated beyond all doubt the ineffi-
cheney. wastefulness and extravaganza
of the policy of municipality owned
cars for official transportation. Unit
costs per passenger carried, per hour
of service. and per trip under taxi
cab operation were not materially af-
fected by seasonal demands on the
service or by increase or decrease
in monthly expenditures indicating
that the advantages of uniform costs
secured through the flexibil;ty of SER
vice furnished by public taxicab COM
panies can be applied, with q tremend-
Gus saving to the official transpprta-
ton problem Of any large or small
community. For this reason we be-
lieve that no city in the country now
operating its own cars can afford ia
neglect its opportunity in emulating
Pittsburg's example"

DAILY OUTPUT
WiIlys-0verland to Produce
More Than 10000
Cars in April.
MiDE las THURSDAY
John N. WHY'S Exceedingly
Optimistic as to Con-
ditions While Here.

During April the Willys-Overland
factory in Toledo, Ohio, probably will
produce 10000 cars, according to John
n. WHY'S, president of the WHY'S.
Overland, Inc, who was in San An
tonic Monday and addressed approx
mately 100 WHY'S Overland distribu-
tors and dealers as well as a number
Of bankers at the st. Anthony. AT
present the factory is averaging more
than 1000 cars a day, said Mr.. WHY'S.
"On last Thursday we produced las
ears" he said
Mr.. WHY'S said he believed his COM
pany had the best factory organization
at the present time that Ii ever had
had and that every condition at the
factory and throughout the country
pointed to increased prosperity. He
reported that the factory had exper-
fenced its best year during 1923 with
an output Of more than 100000 cars,
but that it was probable that the pro-
duction for this year would exceed
100000 cars.
During January, said Mr.. WHY'S,
we built more than $4,000 cars which
more than doubled our record Of jan
uary, 1923. During February we pro.
duced 22,135 cars against only $4,000
In 1928. Production of the WHY'S.
Overland plant is surprising the 1000.
ear-a-day mark, he said.
Caring For Demand.
Mr.. WHY'S then told how his COM
pany was endeavoring to care for the
Increased demand for Willys-Knights
and Overlands. Additions have been
made to the plant, he said, and Off
cials Of the company believe they have
a factory organization second to none.
1--WE spent 100000 on the parts de-
partment alone" said Mr.. WHY'S,
"and new buildings at Toledo were
constructed by US at a cost OF more
than S1,500,000. The additions will
enable the company to practically
double its production"
That the United States need never
worry about a saturation point for
any article that fills a real human
need, was another point brought out
in the address Of Mr.. WHY'S. The au.
tomobile is filing a real human need
for Americans, he said, and although
there will be times when sales will
be slack and business will be dull, th'
