Breach Admits Deal With Big Electric Bosses;
Rules Union With Hand of Iron

York City to unionize the industry in
the interests of the workers, prom
ised that "there will be no strikes and
further trouble in the trade from now
on. Our chief aim is industrial peace
and amiable relations between the
workers and employers"
Breach testified at one moment that
he had frequently stated to employ
ers: "The union stands for efficiency.
If any man or body of men we send
you to your jobs, are not competent,
fire them. Fire the whole lot of
them" He gave some instances, the
Roxy theatre, as one in which such a
policy was proposed to the manager.
Breach came to New York in April
1926, nominally to clean out corrup-
ton in Local 3. Some seventeen Of
ficers and business agents were dis
closed to have committed all forms
of crimes and offences. These men
have been removed.
Revealed as ReactiOnary.
Because of these activities, Breach
was thought by some unionists to be
progressive. Later activities have
shown him to be working against the
rank and file control of the newly
organized union.
At last nights meeting held by the
union, member on the floor accused
Breach of being "fourflusher.' This
charge which the member supported
by references ia recent activities of
Breach was followed by the expulsion
of the member, a man who has been
in the union for thirty years and who
recently ran for president of the local.

throughout the cold weather
months motorists constantly pay
penalty for failing to observe tenn
neratIlra changes. This accounts
for the large number of cases where
cars are tied up following long
periods Of park ng. especially al

develop. the porcelain tops or the

The remedy. If the driver IS
thinking clearly. is to wipe OH the
porcelain tops with a handkercaie
or with absorbent paier.
Excessive Cranking
Frequently in his struggle to
start, the motorist will flood the
cylinders with raw gas because of
the excessive cranking. This com.
plicates the situation and the well
balanced driver then must consider
his own mistakes. This merely is
a matter Of opening the petcocks to

Drivers are urged to think of
true temperature conditions rather
than to consider their personal

standing at a protected point, for
instance. even cold wind may not
affect it much.

And we of this modern dav, some
hundreds of years later, find our
selves in much the same situation
when we drive the restless automO-
bile out of the garage on Saturday
or Sunday. There is one slight
difference There is a place TO go
hut try to get there.
The hopeful motnrist finds that
the desirable roads, those with
hard smooth pavementS. are ire
quently so congested that their adj
vantage is in many cases nullifiad.
The great advantage of the auto
mobile is that it enables the farmer.
salesman and manufacturer and
every other sort OF user to save
valuable time. But when good
roads in a community are the ex-
ception rather than the rule, these
good roads will be crowded with
motor vehicles and slow movement
of traffic again COMES about. In
many instances, where there are
only few good pavements, traffic
delays are a serious handicap.
The Detroit Plan
Probably the most comprehensive
system yet devised to relieve city
and rural congestion is the Detroit
traffic plan Wayne county, Michi-
gan, in which Detroit is located
and where more automobiles are
manufactured than In any other
spot in the world Is increasing
traffic accommOdat tons by building
both longer and wider pavements.
A minimum width Of 40 feet has
been established tor all county
roads. In addition to these wide
highways super highways" from
100 to 204 feet in width are being
provided.
The most notable of these super
highways is the Detroit Pontiac
Road. a 204-foot thoroughfare, II
miles long. now in service. This
road provides two 44-foot concrete
lanes and 40.foot area for rapid

The motorist who would avoid
winter troubles. or who would apply
the proper remedies, must have a
supple intellect and be quick to size
up the conditions under which he is
operating his car, for his trouble will
be direct result of weather condi.
tions prevailing at the time. or
previously. Acting on this theory,
many drivers are saving themselves
hours of trial and tribulation.
Thousands of them, however. are
not. This is the season for difficulty
in starting. excessive use of starters
and sticking OF the starter driver
gear Since most of such starter
trouble is confined to older cars, it
should follow that these troubles
come to those motorists who are
more experienced in car operation.
But whether or not such is the case,
experience alone is of little help.
Only fast thinking saves trouble.
OLD Remedy Failed
An owner who has had his starter
gear Jam at least 100 times and who
never fails to get it working again
by rocking the car back and forth
In gear, YVES nonplussed the other
morning when he found that his old
remedy failed. lie enlisted the ser
vices Of a frien', and together they
pushed the car fore and aft. until it
seemed as though nothing so small
as bendix gear could resist their
Joint efforts. In desperation the
owner phoned his repairman.
The repairman was a good one,
for common sense flowed freely over
the telephone wire.
s'You've forgotten about the ice
on the grouni. You're sliding the
wheels anC your efforts are useless
so far the starter gear is con-
cerned.''
with this in mind, the owner
sprinkled ashes under the wheels and
resumed his pushing and pulling.
j Almost immediate the gear snapped
out and the car was ready to start
as usual. Just overlooking the ice
had caused him n hours delay.
In failing to observe winter wealth.
or changes, thousands OF car own:
ers are bringing upon themselves
no end of trouble, expense and In
convenience. This is not alone
matter of frozen radiators and
cracked cylinder blocks, but of those
simple things so easily prevented
and which can be temedied by clear
thinking and keen observation.
Gave it ZIP
On morning recently an owner
failed to start his car. The puzzle
to him was that the engine ran
freely enough. but the car itself
would not move. Each time he
started TO 60. forward the engine
stalled, although. II would not stall
while running free OF the car Puz-
xled and discouraged, he left the
machine to go about his days work
as best he could. The next morn
ing the car set forth as though
nothing ever rad been wrong
with it.
A little tardily nc saw the truth.
The day before -.ne trouble the car
had been driven fast through cold
rain Overnight in the cold garage,
and with the thern1ometer falling
rapidly. the brakes froze. The next
morning they would not permit the
drums to revolve. thereby holding
the wheels and sta ling the engine.
