ask him about Woco Pep and
Tiolene Motor Oil. unlike the
motorn1an you can talk to this fell
low while he's on duty.
The Woco Trouble Shooter will give you
dope about motor fuel and motor oil that
you've never heard before He won't give
you the usual conversation about more
miles per dollar" and the rest O. the plati-
tudes that are meaningless because they
are common, improbable claims used by
all motor fuels. Instead he'll give you the
hard pan facts as a man who knows
motors sees them.
He'll tell you how by putting the right
amount of benzol in gasoline, G. T.
Wofford discovered Woco Pep, a motor
fuel that amazed the motor world be-
cause of it's power. He'll tell you why it's
impossible to get like power without that
benzol formula
Knowing the absolute dependence of ma

strong views on motor oils, too Draw
him out along this line Get him to tell
you about the ruined motors that he has
had brought in to him - motors that
would never have been harmed if the
motorists had paid a little more attention
to the oil used and given more systematic
care to it's changing. Let him give you
the scientific reasons why the greatest
economy that any motorists can make IS
to buy superfine motor oil like Tioene.

"As regards the volume of traffic which would pass over road across from Iliamna Bay to the Village sit uated near Iliamna Lake and con- nected by waterway with the lake, which in turn affords transportation across to Bristol Bay, there are 26 canneries on Bristol Bay, employing a large number of people. I would like to see the matter of a road taken up and pressed to successful conclu- sion, for it would mean an artery through which big volume of busi- ness would travel and go far toward developing the great country"

''PROSPECTORS" FROM SEWARD FIND
 BONANZA DISTRICT
ILiAMNA LAKE REGION VERiT- ABLE sToREHoUsE OF UNDE-
 VELOPED WEALTH

HIS COlHpduy, dHu hCO NOSlOShy, OI the K and M. Store, expressed them selves on their return from Iliamna aboard Heinie Berger's staunch little mOtor-ship, Discoverer.
 The Seward merchants were out on sort of Rotary, Kiwanis, Commercial Club and salesmanship mission.
 "One would scarcely believe what that country offers" said Mr. Stanton, acting as spokesman and heartily sec onded by MT. Koslosky. Tt is the greatest fur country in Alaska and in addition is highly productive for gar denng, while in the northern portion, around Lake Clark is one of the larg- est known copper fields in the world"
 Arriving at Iliamna Bay aboard the Discoverer, the "prospectors" jour- neyed afoot over the trail to the viii lage, situated about ten miles from ! the coast. It was the first trip of the Discoverer, which now supplies the first regular boat service to the east coast ofthe peninsula serving Bhistol Bay by trail via IIiamna lake.
 But there is yet work to be done in Iconnecting this region with the outside world the year round" said MT. Stan ton While we were there we saw men packing On their backs a distance of ten miles and charging 10 cents a pound for the service. The trail for about two miles from the coast pass es over a hill. This trail has been dug along the hillside and affords ac- cess by foot The remaining eight and a fraction miles is graded and the tundra stripped off, but needs surfac- | ing before much traffic could pass over it. Once this is made passable for wagon or double-enders all the way it will open the country and allow of access to the outside world for a large area and enable the residents of Bris- tOl Bay and intervening country to re- ceive mail three times a month if MT. Berger secures a contract, in- stead as at present only once a month in the summer season, when the steamer Starr touches at Bristol Bay. In addition to marketing their pro- ducts and receiving necessities of life. When we arrived at the village they had not enjoyed an egg for three months and I was almost mobbed for the oranges which I took along. saw one man packing S5 pounds of Hershey's chocolates on his back to the village, at a cost of $S5o freigt- age for the case.

In return they have enormous quantities of furs that would be shipped out over the route across the peninsular and to Seward, which would naturally be the supply point for goods in exchange. While over there we were told of the great copper and other mineral deposits of the Lake Clark region, which are pronounced by those who have seen them to be the most extens- i've in Alaska, not excepting Kenne- colt. have been informed that two engineers, representing the Kennecott Copper Corporation are now en route to the Lake Clark country to exam inc some of these properties

BAN ON LOCKOUTS
FAILS TO DECEIVE

Ashton Under Lynne, ,England.-The
governments proposal to make its
anti-union bill apply to lockouts as
we'll as to strikes, is declared to be
"mere eye-wash" by the Cotton Fac
tory Times.
"The miners dispute of year ago.
says this labor paper, "was technically
a strike, but virtually it was lock-
out. The owners did not declare a
lockout. They had no need to. They
imposed wage reduction, we'll know
ing what the result would be. On the
miners was placed the onus of ceasing
work, and probably in most eyes,
apart from the workers, they were re-
garded as the aggressors.
"To make lockouts under any condi-
ton illegal, would, therefore, be a
piece of ake-believe, and would not
add merit to the mischevious bill be-
fore the house of commons.
"The bill was never intended to
touch employers who know pretty
well how to look after themselves
and a provision of that kind would
only be window dressing"

A. F. OF L.
Appeals for Rigid Inquiry
Into Famous Case

By International Labor News Service
Indianapolis, Ind.-Before adjourn
ing, after being in session 10 days,
the executive council of the American
Federation of Labor indorsed an ap-
peal made by President Green TO Gov
ernor Fuller, of Massachusetts, to "in-
stitute a rigid and thorough investi-
cation" into the trial and conviction
of Sacco and Vanzetti, sentenced to
death on a murder charge. President
Green's action was in line with reso-
lutions adopted at national conven-
tions of the A. F. of L. favoring a
new trial for the men.
There is feeling in the public
mind. President Green's statement
said, "that Sacco and Vanzetti were
not accorded a fair trial In the in
terest of justice the executive coun-
eli of the American Federation of La
bor appeals to Governor Fuller to in
stitute a most rigid and thorough
investigation of the Sacco and VAN
zetti trial and conviction and the evil
dence offered in connection there

WOMAN LABOR
Fixed in Industry, Bureau
Investigation Shows

Washington.-Th worn but deep
seated tradition that women are transi-
tory wage earners for short period
before marriage is again refuted by
the United States women's bureau in
its investigation of Delaware wage
working women.
While majority of the women are
young, almost three-tenths are under
20 years of age, about one-half are
20 and under 40, and more than one
fifth are 40 years and over. Most of
the women began work at an early
age, one-third of them were 16 and
four-ffths by the time they were 20
years old
The investigation reveals that the
wage situation is bad. One-half of the
1000 women surveyed in factories,
stores and laundries received less than
$11.05 week. Higher earnings than
these have been found in all but four
of the IA states in which women's
wages have been studied by the bu-
reau In hotels and restaurants the
average earnings are $1015 for white
and $10.75 for negro women.
In Delaware, of the families repre-
sented by the women interviewed in
the industries mentioned, nearly one
third were supported primarily by the
earnings of the women living in the
group. About one-sixth of the women
were living in families in which a
group of related women were main
tanning the household, and in one
fourth of the families the woman
scheduled was herself the principal
breadwinner. Of this last group of
women it is a fact worth noting, says
the bureau, that more than one-half
were single, one-sixteenth were mar
ried and approximately two thirds
were widowed, separated or divorced.

WAGE SCALE IGNORED
BY PAINTER BOSSES

Oakland, Cal.-Organized painters
in this city are asking when employ
ers will recognize a small increase
that the Industrial Association order
ed several months ago.
The association made the announce
ment through its impartial wage
board, when it was attempting to
smash the Carpenters Union Local
master painters refused to pay the
increase until they completed their old
contracts, but the "old work" does not
seem to end
The painters have asked for confer
ences, but are told the Industrial As
sociation objects. These tactics mean
loss of more than 100000 to the
painters.

TROUBLES IN CHINA
CAUSED BY OTHERS

San Francisco. "The time has
come for western nations to get ola
ideas of China out of their heads y
declares the Seamen's Journal
"To the candid observer" says this
labor publication, 'it appears as if
the people of China are merely assert
ing their right to control and admin
lister their domestic affairs without
foreign interference.
"Yet, to many statesmen and poll
ticians of the superior white race, the
Chinese are trespassing upon our
property and threatening our liber-
ties.
Exploiting capitalists have carried
things with high hand in that coun-
try and have enriched themselves by
the process. They have made loans
to sthe Chinese and under cover of
these dubious transactions have seized
their lands, their railroads, their GUS
toms revenues and established sys-
tenn of extraterritoriality that is only
thinly disguised annexation 1t has
worked for many years, but it will
work no longer. The Chinese are bus
lily engaged in dissipating the belief
that they take pleasure in being i'll
treated by interlopers who claim to
be superior people.
''That is the whole trouble in China
1t is one that cannot be cured by gun
boats, marines and ultimatums. Ger
tainly, the waging of war will not
cure it."

MORE DEATHS IN
MINES

Welch, w. Va. - The killing of
workers in non-union mines in this
state continues. The latest disaster
is at mine owned by the Central
Pocahontas Coal Company, near here.
Eight miners lost their lives. This
explosion follows the Everettsville
tragedy, where 95 lives were lost.
As is usual, the newspapers discuss
every feature of these explosions, but
the cause No call is made for the
enforcement of mine laws, and if the
unorganized employees protest against
dangerous conditions they are curtly
told to seek work elsewhere.

LIGHTING ROADS MEANS
ELECTRICITY ON FARMS
With Poles Placed Along Highways
Lines Can Be Strung to Farms
at Little Expense.

The possibilities of electricity
becoming the cheap and efficient
hired man of the farmers of Ohio
now rests in bill before the State
legislature which provides for the
lighting of the country highways
by the state under much the same
plan as new roads are built and
kept in repair.
If this bill becomes law, and the
farmers are expressing themselves
as 100 percent for it's enactment,
pole lines will be placed along the
main highways to carry electricity
to light the road. This expense
taken care of by the state from the
general highway funds, it will be
an easy and inexpensive matter to
have wires strung from these poles
into the farm buildings along the
way.
Advantages of electricity on the
farm are hard to enumerate because
they are so many" d. c. Ram
sower, director of agriculture ex-
tension service of Ohio State Uni
versity, who is interested in the
lighting plan both from a safety
standpoint and the great help it
will be to the farmers, explained.
Fright here in Ohio on the Marys-
vile highway, 25 miles from Colum-
bus, a dozen or more farmers are
learning first hand what an eco
nomical and efficient servant cleo
tricity is today. A section about
51a miles along this highway has
been electrified and thus far more
than 200 electrical appliances are
in use by these farmers. No longer
do these farmers have to pump and
carry water. They have running
water in their barns as well as their
houses, some even have bath tubs
and water softeners just as they
have in the cities. There are no
more blue Mondays for the wives
of these farmers. Instead of rub
bing and scrubbing over hot, steam
ing tubs, electric washing machines
are doing this work.
"Out in the barns electricity is
also helping to do the chores,
pumping the water for the cattle,
milking the cows, grinding the feed,
in fact portable motors which can
be easily moved about any place,
are doing muck of the hard work.
"Then when darkness arrives, in
stead of all members cluttering
around the dim light of the kero-
sene lamp, always dangerous and
many times foul smelling, these
farmers merely push button in the
wall and like magic their rooms are
flooded with light.
"These are but few of the labor
savers and modern conveniences on
these farms right here in Ohio"
Mr.. Ramsower continued. "To
some, I suppose, these things will
sound extravagant. But that is not
the case and the farmers out on the
Marysville highway will bear me
out in declaring from practical use
they are convinced electricity is
the farmers most reliable and
chsapest hired man.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1927-06-03
Standards lead all &c cigars.

"The congestion of traffic and in
creased number of night accidents
and holdups along the highways,
the result of increased registration
of automobiles, has made the light
ing of Ohio's heavily travelled high
ways almost imperative. Daylight
was once all the light needed but at
the present time it is not enough.
Both passenger and freight traffic
is now such as to require "a hour
daily use of every mile of improved
road in the state. Light helps to
make travel easier at night, it helps
reduce the traffic congestion, helps
the driver decide when to cut down
or increase his speed so that time
and trouble can be saved and helps
to keep traffic on the roadbed it
self. 1t relieves eye strain, assists
in making repairs and discourages
hold ups. 1t increases night traffic
and thereby relieves day congestion.
1t decreases running time and
thereby increases road capacity.
Every farmer knows the menace
of the binding headlights of the
other fellows car, knows the dam
ger of the one light car or truck,
and the dangerous curves, narrow
bridges and treacherous crossings
which can't be seen at night. Light
ing the highways will relieve these
evils.
"The farmer will also be partic-
ularly benefited by the lighting of
the highways for about the only
time he has to use them is after his
days work is done and he and his
family want to drive into the vii
lage or city to attend a theater or
some other form of entertainment
or recreation. If it isn't dark by
the time he starts, it surely will be
long before he is ready to return.
Then too, when he moves his pro-
duce to market, which is generally
done in the evening or early morn
ing, he will find the we'll lighted
highways most nelpful.
Ohio, because there is no law
permitting highway lighting, is
behind other states in this respect.
The present bill, introduced by
Senator Frank C. Wise, was insti-
gated by the residents of Canton
and Massillon who wanted to light
new highway built between these
cities and found there was no law
permitting it. This was year ago.
81 have since then learned that a
good many places in the state would
like to light their highways if
they had the legal authority" SEN
ator Wise said in explaining why
he had drawn the present bill. "This
bill now before the legislature will
give permission to the state high
way department and boards of
county commissioners the author
! ity to enter into contracts with cleo
trio power companies to furnish
lights where needed on dangerous
or heavily travelled roads. Other
states have found highway lighting
a profitable investment and I am
sure Ohio will find it the same.
"Our improved roads these days
cost from $4,000 to $4,000 per
mile. Lighting them would not
cost over $500 mile per year for
about 1000 lighting hours. II
this cost were figured on a traffic
basis, doubt if the expense would
be more than a penny a vehicle for
those using the highways"
