NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-The progress
sive leaders of the joint board of the
cloakmakers' Union have decided to
ask the membership Of the union to
ignore the registration being taken by

Appeal to Members.

The joint board has appealed to the
membership to make the final decision
n the struggle and at several large
mass meetings has received over
whelming mandates to carry on
against the intrigues and maneuvers
of the right wingers, who are sup
ported by the socialist" needle trades
leaders, the trade union bureaucracy
and the bosses. One of such meetings,
in Madison Square Garden, was attend
ed by $4,000 members.

This is shown up by the joint board
as bride on the membership and is
one more indication of the lack of sup
port that the international receives
from the members. The joint board
also charges that the Sigmanites have
an arrangement with the bosses re
garding employment that makes the
registration a veritable blacklist sys'

The Washington times., 1926-08-18

Seryioa stations have for some
time been: perplexed over the wide
assortment OF owner complaints
which have no real reason for ex'
istenco. This has led TO the belief
that many car troubles are purely
imaginary. and many so-called adj
iustnaents are being handled on this
basis al present Tor the simple
reason that service men frequently
know no other way out.
The real remedy for this conui.
ton, however, lies in giving tho
car owner proof that his mental
vagaries have much to do with the
success Of his motoring.
The point is clearly demonstrated
In q r9cent case taken from the
records OF q large service station.
The owner In question had not had
his car more than six months when
he was back to the dealer with the
complaint that the engine needed
new piston pins. The trouble was
not what one would expect or =
car OF it's reputation, and on this
assumption the service manager
concluded that the owners Cont
plant was imaginary,
CIassed as Trouble Hunter
The owner was assumed to be
a trouble hunter. Whenever he
complained of the particular trouble
he was favored with q little con
vocational treatment and sent
away In the hope that he would
get over 1t. The service manager
thought he was doing the right
thing Premature wear OF piston
pins for the particular car was SO
rare as to suggest the owners
error.
The truth Of the matter Is that
the owner did not have imaginary
The Washington times., 1926-08-18

trouble at all. The piston pins
were becoming worn, and every
time he accelerated quickly there
was decided rap in the motor.
The whole thing was the result OF
a mental oddity. but imagination
would not cover it.
Someone took the trouble to delNe
deeper into the matter. That is
how it happened that the owner
admitted having had similar trou-
BILE with his former car. Once this
fact was established it was very
through q solution.
The motorist, through fear OF a
repetition of his trouble, actually
Of reality. Every day when he
tests with the idea OF seeing
whether 1t would knock. Every
day he was bringing trouble upon
himself In trying to avoid 1t.
The tests he made were. in eff.
feet, motor abuse. II he had never
had piston pin trouble he would
never have it with q new car.
Many Such Repeaters
It has been noticed by many re-
pairers that certain motorists have
the same sort of trouble with their
cars regardless OF the make. This
demonstrates the influence Of men,
tai characteristics in car success
and suggests the value Of a com.
plete change Of attitude toward
ones motoring whenever changing
cars.
One ownef has had clutch
trouble with ever car he has owned,
just because he insists upon slip
ping 1t when trying to make hills
The Washington times., 1926-08-18

in high gear as well as when run
ming very slowly in high traffic.
He knows that slipping clutch ls
Injurious, but he is always tempted
to test the new clutch Of the new
car to see whether it will do better
than its predecessors. Back in. his
mind there is foolhardy idea
that some day one of the cars he
buys will have a clutch that ts
immune to such maltreatment.
1t is mental vagary, pure and
simple. But it costs him repair
bill every now and again. No car
he has bought--and he has run
through quite a variety-has been
able to withstand his mental atti-
tude in this connection.
Some motorists start off. with
a new car With the idea that
they are going to have trouble,
and they are seldom disappointed,
Mental processes get to working
in queer ways with them, With
one owner it may take the form
of being oyer-anxious to forestall
trouble. while with another owner
the destructive thought n1aJN be
to the effect that go long as trou:
BILE, will come anyway there is no
sense in trying to prevent It.
Wear Out Car Fussing
1T Is a common thing to find
an owner SO eager to prevent
trouble that he literally wears
out the car fussipg with it. One
dealer says that IL one Of his
customers had been a little lesa
fearful of possible trouble they
would never have torn down the
engine, and thus never would
have had the trouble which the
major repair work itself developed.
Some drivers are entirely too
conscious Of the condition Of the
various units of their cars. while
others are oblivious to a point
where they entirely miss those
little cues which are the wise
motorists golden opportunity to
avoid real trouble.
Persons who can feel their car
sway because It Is equipped With
balloon tires. or who can tell
you which wheel they think Is
stopping first when the four
wheel brake system is applied are
due for all the trouble which the
autornotive engineer makes US
mess.
The other extreme-the man who
believes that nothing win happen
lis just as bad. for here the mind
leads the motorist into an entirely
new set of troubles and makes a
failure of what might otherwise be
