AUTOCAR FETES
| OWN BIRTHDAY

A birds eye view of the entife
Automotive industry from its
earliest days up to the present is
seen in the announcement of the
Autocar Company that it is now
completing it's thirtieth consecutive
year in the manufacture of motor
vehicles. This company, it is stated,
has devoted itself to the exclusive
and uninterrupted manufacture OF
motor vehicles longer than any
other, though it was not the first
concern in the business.
Thirty-seVen years ago Louis s.
Clarke and John S. Clarke made
the first drawings of automobile de-
signs. In 1895 the former equipped
a machine shop in his Pittsburgh
home and started building gasoline
engines. A year later the company
was incorporated. During the year
of the Spanish War the young con-
Germ brought out a one-cylinder air.
cooled gas motor, mounted on a
tricycle., and exhibited it at the
bicycle exhibit in Pittsburgh to the
intense interest of the public.
In 1899, the company produced
the first American motor truck
called a delivery wagon and adVer-
tised as being 80 simple in con-
struction that any driver of ordi-
nary intelligence can operate it
with more safety than he could
drive a horse" 1t was not until
1907 that the company specialized
exclusively in trucks, a specializa-
ton which endures today.
Several vital advances in automo-
bile design were originated by this
company. The Autocar Company
was the first to place an order for
an automobile drop forging. to
draw up the specifications for porce-
3hin spark plug insulation, to supply
specifications for spark coil ignition,
to develop the shaft drive. to create
the double reduction gear drive.
and to produce the circulating oil
6ystem.
The main factory has been in
Ardmore, Pa, since the first year
of this century, but the company
has 50 direct factory branches
throughout the country, and 80 af-
3tliated representatives. Last year
% added to its line conventional
truck design with the engine out
IN front, although maintaining its
exclusive production of the short
wheel base design with engine un-
der the seat. 1t is now the only
company offering both types.

SEES DANGER IN
CHURCH SERVICE
Religious Rites Too Beauti-

BIZ United Press
MOSCOW, June 8. - Peril in the
beauty Of church service is seen by
Nadejda Krupskaya widow of Mich
OLAF Lenin, the former Bolshevik
leader.
She warned the Communists that
the dramatic religious rites Of the
old Russian Orthodox Church con-
stitute a grave danger to the athe-
istic teachings of the Communists
because they attract the people to
enter the churches.

She told about a meeting in a vii
lage near Pskoff, when a travelling
moving picture performance drew
the villagers away from the churches
during the sacred Passion Week.

But when the moving picture show
had gone, she said, the peasants

STREET GARMENTS
Contempt Case Will Be Rul-
ed On By High Court

By International Labor News Service.
indianapolis, Ind-Frank P. Baker,
chief counsel for the Amalgamated
Association of Street and Electric
Railway Employees, has been notified
that the United States supreme court
will rule on the case against Robert
Armstrong and John M. Parker, or
ganizers for the union, who were
found guilty of contempt of court
growing out of the strike of Indian
apolis street railway workers a year
ago.
The two men were found guilty of
contempt by Judge Robert C. Baltzell,
who had issued an injunction against
the strikers, prohibiting the men en-
ployed and others from advising or
persuading the street car employees to
quit their employment. The company
set out that the employees had signed
individual contract to work. The case
was appealed to the United States
court of appeals and Judge Albert
Anderson, of that court, sustained
Judge Baltzell's ruling. Mr.. Baker, as
counsel for the union, appealed the
case again to the supreme court for
a ruling.

BUILDING WAGES
In New York Set For Next
Two Years

By International Labor News Service.
New York City-The Building
Trades Council has ratified the re-
newal of the wage agreement for its
thirty-three affiliated unions with the
Building Trades Employers Associa-
ton for a two-year period.
This means that until December 81,
1929, there will be no demand for a
wage increase and also no demand
for a further extension of the five
day week. The fve-day week applies
to the painters, plasterers and other
advanced trades, but not the bulk of
the 100000 mechanics.
Construction work continues at a
high level. The fact that building ma
terial prices are going downward also
is helping to stimulate low cost hous-
ing.
Not since 1914 have conditions been
fundamentally so favorable for eco
nomical building operations. Iron and
steel, lumber, brick and cement orders
are heavier than in any record year.
This augurs we'll for 1929, according
to experts.

AUToMOBILIsTs, TO ARMS.

The efforts being put forth by the
Anti-Saloon League to make the fight
on the Marshall bill referendum a
"wet and dry" contest is quite char
acteristic of the methods of that NAL
odorous organization. 1t should be
nothing of the kind. 1t is not, hon.
estly, contest of that character AS
matter of plain fact, it is contest
between right and wrong principles
of government.
Every effort is being made, partic-
ularly in the cities, to obscure the
vital issue-an issue of fundamental
law, which the supreme court of the
nation SO recently emphasized in an
epochal decision.
Every motorist in Ohio should cast
his vote in this election in protest
against the autocracy of a fanaticism
which has gone mad AS has been
clearly pointed out, justices of the
peace, with the Marshall law indorsed
and validated, will be able to make
the lives of motorists what Sherman
defined war to be. In such case there
would be absolutely nothing to halt
justices from making wholesale ar
rests of travelling strangers, or of
anybody else, in order to make the
maximum of their $3.50 fees. The
author of the bill himself has admit
ted this weakness in it. He could
not answer this objection. There is
no answer-for him. But every driver
of an automobile in Ohio should an
swer it for him by voting to smack
his iniquitous measure-a measure
which invites a recrudescence of the
most abominable practices of the
damnable puritanical vogue of other
days.
Will not justices fine motorists by
and large? Beyond any question.
They know that in more than half
of the counties in the state they can
not hope for compensation from the

SHARKS"
And Ambulance Chaser
Scored By Minister

New York.-High-priced undertak-
ers and ambulance chasers were de-
nounced by Rev. C. Everett Wagner,
Episcopal clergyman, in sermon on
Sharks" in this city.
Ambulance chasers who work on
the basis of $3.50 are among the
most unscrupulous enemies of unfor-
tunate injured people" said Dr. Wag-
ner.
"Another shark that preys upon
poor people in time of trouble is the
outrageously high-priced undertaken
who does everything in his power to
have his bill equal the insurance pol
icy or to keep the family in debt to
him for three or four years. These
hold-up undertakers are just as bad
as the ambulance chasers.
"Conditions can be greatly improv-
ed if the respective businesses get
rid of their sharks"

NEWS is INTERESTING
- - "a "a "

Telegraph wires bring news from
all over the world, which helps make
life more interesting than it ever was
in the good old days" for the aver
age run of folks.
Henry Ford is reported to have sold
100000 of his new cars before anyone
knows what they look like or will
cost. Think that over.
On the other hand, by way of inter-
esting contrast, it is reported from
New York that there are still 10000
blacksmiths working at their bellows
and that there are $4,000 horses in
New York city and 100000 of them
in the United States, about as many
as there were forty years ago.
You can say what you like, there is
more interest-and usually more
strangeness-in the facts of life than
in the pretty stories that are told
about life in fifiction.
