ment. 1t does not care a rap for de-
cisions of the U. S. government when
such decisions are against it.
The railway labor board decided
that the employees themselves should
decide whether they would be repre-.
scented by their national union or by
the company union. The telegraphers
decided by vote Of to 1 to be repre-
sented by their own union.
The Pennsylvania r. R. Co. does
not care what its employees decide
nor does it care about the decision of
the railway labor board. 1t sent out
notice to the telegraphers that
amy one accepting the nomination
must be a company union representa-
tive and not a representative of the
union. The company intends to deal
only with representatives of the com.
pany union and not Of the bonafide un-
ion to which the telegraphers belong.

The capitalists use the government to
fool the workers into the belief that

it is clearly government of the
bosses against the workers. What do
the Pennsylvania employees intend to

Be that as, it may and as

has show which runs to crowded

chorus girls get bald and lose their

No doubt the advertising manager
read Freud and Jung and all the

so as to figure out what kind of an

mark and that this snappy show will
be running in Chicago long after
Mayor Dever begins to dig a subway
or even after the police have stopped

But Chicago is not entirely populat-

BUCHAREST, Roumania, Feb. IL.
In the prison of Jilava there are
at present about 500 prisoners on
hunger strike. They demand COM
pensation for the maltreatment suf-
fered and that they be placed before
the court
The 500 prisoners are workers who
were arrested in the last raid Of the
Roumanian government against the
Communists. In these raids whole
sale arrests were made even women
and children being thrown into pri-
son.
Brutality MaItreated
In order to force the prisoners to

were broken. The judges took the in
QUESTION of the middle ages as their
example. Thus the leather worker

Comrade Stefan Jakob. One finger
nail after the other was pealed off
the hands of Comrade Stefan 10th in
order to compel him by the horrible
pains to make the confession. The
lawyer DR.. Stefan Gyongjyossy from
Hernannstadt was tortured so terri
bly, that he had to be transferred to
the hospital with serious wounds.
Also women and children were NAL
treated in order to force them to
make statements against their hus-

UNEMPL OYMENT
GETTING WORSE
IN ILLINOIS
Exceeds 1924 Rate,
But Under 1922

The unemployment situation in iii
nois as shown in the January reports
Of the free employment Offices was
worse than in January, 1924 and much
worse than in 1923, according to the
monthly report of the state derart
ment labor. This large surplus OF
men looking for Jobs existed in spite
Of gain of nearly l per cent in fac
tory employment which is estimated
to have given 5000 iobless persons
work.
Not Yet to 1922 Figure
In the state as a whole there were
1873 applicants for each 100 jobs. The
Chicago office reports 2O1 applicants
for every 100 jobs or more than 2
unemployed for each opportunity to
work. In previous Januaries the
number applying for each 100 jobs
were 1924-166; 192S-132; 1922-232;
1921-275.
The level Of factory employment IN
January was still Z per cent below
that Of year ago meaning over 40.
600 workers added to the ranks of the
unemployed. Average weekly earnings
amounted to S27.64 as compared with
S2S.77 in December and 1927 a year
ago.
Heavy Industry Best
The most important gain was re
ported by the iron and steel industry
which added IL per cent to it's work
ing force between December and Jan.
uary. Other industries reporting i'm.
provement were machinery, railroad
car building, agricultural implements,
leather, paint, job printing, knit gods
and clothing.
Industries reporting decreased EN-.

ITO a man who hasn't been

1.-THE economies in construction
provided by this machinery have
been passed on to the public so that
the automobile tire is one of the
few articles in common use today
which actually costs less than it did
in pre-war times.
This is in the face of the fact
that the tires being produced now

new CHANDLER.
GEAR ADDS To
SAFETY.
David Hendrick, Dealer Here,
Tells How It Holds
Car on Hill

Suppose you were taking
chance, driving with brakes 50 bad
" worn that they would not hold
your car on a grade, that you
tried to climb steep hill in high
gear, that your motor died and
your car started to roll backward
down the hiIl-what would you do?
That is a hypothetical question
for the motorist, propounded by
David Hendrick, the local represen-
tative of the Chandler.
Well, what could you do!
Your brakes are bad and won't
hold the car, far less stop 1t after
it has begun to roll.
You are in high gear ana the
engine offers but little resistance
to the backward drift.
The car Is increasing speed and
you can't shift to another gear be-
cause the engine Is dead.
Many motorists have had this
experience, and serious accidents
have resulted.
In general, the advice in the
past has been that you should
twist your steering wheel and back
an en1bankment--anyt to stop
the car before it gained too much
Roadway. However, an embank-
ment isn't always there, and in
stead OF ditch, the road may have
sheer drop at the side. There's
nothing to do then but hold fast
till the end comes!
However, the Chandler has its
own answer to the question, the
traffic transmission providing the
solution to the problem. This
gearset permits the driver to shift
at will into any one Of the four
gears.
Here, then, is the answer of the
Chandler owner to the hypothetical
question:
SHIFT from high gear to re-
verse: the backward rolling of the
car starts the engine Immediately;
then step on the gas and shift to
low gear. The speeding engine will
quickly overcome the backward
motion of the car, and then carry
1t forward out of danger"

Itsoverwhelming public acceptance
confirms by actual sales supremacy
the outstanding leadership of Essex
value. Never was that position so
clear, and so rightly deserved as
today.
Essex won its great recognition on
the issue of finest quality, perform
ance and utility without useless size,
weight or cost.
And with its low first cost and oper-
ating economies, you get qualities OF
long lasting, reliable performance,
smoothness and riding ease.
