Like a tale from the Arabian Nights,
defy1ng all the terrors of deserts and
impossible" country, American motor
cars continue their spread over the
world. America Is motorizing mankind
at an unprecedented rate. Not alone
In the United States does the sale of
American made motor cars continue to
increase at a satisfactory pace, but
throughout the world American made
automobiles continue to dominate the
motor market and to spread their sales
gains over foreign competition until 1t
can be truly said that the world on
wheels turns to this country for ac-
celeration OF delivery of passengers and
merchandise.
Production Of automobiles of all kinds
in the United States for the first nine
months of the current year has
mounted to almost unbelievable figures,
the Commerce Department has an
nounced, passenger car production alone
almost matching the total of all pro-
duction for the first nine months of
last year. Up to the last of September,
3,469,075 units of all kinds have been
produced in this country, of which
3,064,237 were passenger cars. Pas
senger Car production for the same
period last year totaled 2,939, 1876 units,
and the total production of all kinds of
automobiles in the United States for
the first nine months of the year al
ready outstripS last years total. Many
of these cars 60 abroad, for the de-
partment has announced that exports
of automotive products from this coun-
try are running from IL to is per
cent higher this year than last.
American made motor cars are spin
ming across the desert to Bagdad
carrying mail and passengers to the
one time capital of the Calips, the
tabled, romantic city of Scheherezade.
They are crossing apparently impass-
able areas in South America, where no
motor car has ever gone before, and
are accomplishing modern miracles
which further tend to spread the fame
of the American made motor vehicle.
Regarding the Egyptian conquest by
American made vehicles, DR.. Julius
Klein. director of the bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce, has the fol-
lowing to say: much trafic bound
from Europe for Bagdad had formerly
been compelled to take the hot, fatigu-
ing voyage down through the Suez
Canal and the Red Sea, the Arabian
Sea and up the Persian Gulf-whereas
an incomparably shorter route lay
straight east from Beirut, Syria Con
the Mediterranean just north of Pales-
tine), across the Arabian desert to
Bagdad.

Keene, a veteran of the service, who
testified at the federal investigation
of the Vestris tragedy.
On the printed form of the Vestris
inspection keene had written "Yes"
in reply to the question as to whether
the lifeboats had been lowered. He
testified at the hearing that because
the Vestris was surrounded by barges
and lighters at the time he did not
lower the life boats to the water.
He admitted that in not explaining
all the facts in his report he had been
guilty of carelessness. He said he

It's a wonderful world and within
it's mysterious Confines anything can
happen-and does almost every day.
The theatre and the movies are nee
essary to the public. They have ex-
plotted workers and audiences alike.
The theatrical trades thus far have
had more sense than the audiences,
particularly where the movies are
concerned. The workers of the the
atre, in and around the theatre, have
learned the lesson of unity. To that
extent the theatre is better, safer and
more decent. For no place can be
decent on the outside when it is rot
ten at the heart
Gentlemen of the tribe of press
agents, an ancient and honorable pro
fession, will find life better with a
union card tucked away in the back
pocket. And ultimately the owners,
who are always at heart a cowardly
and timorous bunch, will come to their
senses and give thanks to those who
now have the courage to tell them
where to get off at.

THANK UNIONISTS
FOR AID TO MINERS

New Orleans.-The trade union
movement was thanked for aiding
miners by Presidnet Lewis and Sec
retary-Treasurer Kennedy, of the
United Mine Workers, speaking to
the A. f. Of l.. convention.
More than 100000, exclusive of
supplies, was raised by the A. f. of
l.. the last two years.
The miners officials stated that in
this period money relief approximate
ed 100000 a month for the 10000
strikers, who, with their dependents,
total half million persons.
There are 100000 miners enrolled
in good standing, while 10000 min
ers, who are Loyalty standing for the
principles of organized labor, cannot
pay dues because they are unable to
secure work five days month.
"This is not the record of weak,
staggering labor union which the foes
of labor have depicted" said Secre-
tary Kennedy.
Both officials referred to the forces
against the miners. These include
over-development of the industry,
anti-union coal owners and the in
junction.
"We will win," they declared. I'VE
will plant the banner of trade union
ism in the strongholds of those who
oppose US The speakers recon-
mended that delegates consider the
advisability of labor creating a strike

!" Where with our
rec Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things. sometimes pro-
foundly. sometimes fippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

Five hundred theatrical press
agents sent delegate to the New
Orleans convention of the American
Federation of Labor. Five hundred
press agents in one union in the big
city of New York where they make
them wiser and more hard boiled than
any other place on the planet.
If five hundred theatrical press
agents can be organized into a union
and know what it is all about and
like it and stick to it-well, gentle
men of the board, anybody can be
organized any place!
This union sent a delegate to sit
in with boilermakers and plumbers
and bricklayers and he found that he
not only could get in but that nobody
could tell the difference between him
self and the other gentlemen named,
along. with some 500 others. And,
furthermore, he liked it where he
found himself and he found himself
fitting in like proverbal glove.
Those who think nothing new can
happen are once more asked to kindly
leave the room.
What was it that this press agent
delegate wanted to say to the con
vention? 1t was this simple story:
The theatrical bosses were willing to
sign an agreement with this union of
writers, these men of blooey and seri-
ouRness, Of blah and sincerity, if
these men would quit being union
men. They could be anything else
and have all the agreement they
wanted-but union men? Horrors!
The theatrical press agents acted
just as if they were boilermakers
cigarmakers, truck drivers and shoe
makers and they told their bosses to
go to the devil with that old doctrine
| Now, what do you know about that
Ile DOSStS IOiQ Iilt press dSSiit9
that unionism, in such a profession
destroyed loyalty to the employer
And the union men, just like carpen-
ters, said Boloney!
The bosses of the stage said words
to the same effect when the actors
and actresses joined up and formed
Equity. Artists and union cards, the
bosses said, couldn't mix. 1t was all
terrible thing for art to get gummed
up and messy that way
But the artists looked at the pros
pect of decent pay, of decent treat
ment, of no more brow beating and
cheating and rehearsals for nothing
and they said they guessed they'c
stand the chance of having art sub
jected to the test of square meals.
The press agents, necessary to the
bosses-as necessary as actors anc
actresses and stage hands-are being
handed the same old CUFF, and they
are giving the same answer.

Asks Investigation
of Electricity Rates

Washington, Feb. 20.-(AP)-On
the heels Of the senate resolution
directing the federal trade commits
sion to investigate the financial
structure of public utility power
companies, Chairman Norris Of the
senate judiciary committee has
urged the commission to inquire also
into rates charged the public.
In q letter to the commission, Sen
ator Norris forwarded a pamphlet,
"What Price Electricity For Our
Homes" written by Norris Llewellyn
Cooke, Philadelphia engineer, and
declared:
II respectfully submit that the
rates and facts here presented, most
Of which come from the sworn re-
ports and records Of the electric
light and power companies them
selves, require your immediate and
thorough investigation. The vicious
circle Of high and discriminatory
rates coupled with restricted use
must be broken"
Under circumstances outlined in
the pamphlet, Senator Norris said,
Fair rates for small consumers
through reputation is out Of the
question unless our (state) commits
sions are supported by an inquiry at
hands su.h as yours"
In the pamphlet, an open letter to
the electrical industry. Cooke de-
clared ANY price paid for domestic
service above five cents per kilowat
hour must be justified by some spe-
cial consideration which does not
effect 95 per cent OF tn, current
used on this class Of service"

Since the Steele game, the local
carers have been working steadily

The Phantoms face real test on

Hazelton has scored impressive
victories over the strongest CUNTS
in the southern section Of the state
and the Phantoms are none TOO con-

Hazclton's greatest triumph was

The Kansan said he had been in
