came out with an extra with huge
double column headline on the DEM

Hoan, was confronted by the DEM

the demand foa work or wages, i'm

service for the unemployed at the
expense of the bosses, etc.
His answer was a cowardly eva

Editorial Note: The Renaix
strike against wage cuts and for
higher wages was called in spite of
the opposition of the socialist"
trade union bureaucrats, who tried
to smother the strike. The rank
and file strikers forced the bosses
to grant wage raise, but when
they went back to work the bosses
would not pay it, and the rank and
file again struck, with a victory as
noted above.

EUROPE DEVELOPS
 GASOLINELESS GAR
Diesel Engines and Gasogene
 Systems Become Popular

Detroit, May 16. P-An automo- tile motor without spark plugs, , carburetor or magneto at one of the national automobile shows at tracted considerable attention.
 Its inventor predicted it would some day provide the power plant for buses, trucks and tractors.
 While there has been much ex perimentation with Diesel type motors in the United States, and one engineer alredy has con- structed one for use in airplanes, Europe has really made more prog ress in the development of engines powered by fuel other than gasoline.
 In Europe. excepting in Russia or Rumania, there is little or no oil and all gasoline must be imported at cost twice as much as in America.
 Motivated, perhaps, by reasons Of economy, European engineers have devoted more time and effort to the development of Diesel type motors and synthetic fuels. Then there is the "gazogene" systems. At the recent Salon de L'Automobile no fewer than five firms had exhibits Of cars powered by Diesel or semi Diesel engines.
 The "gazosene" systems have been in use abroad for some time. They burn wood, coke. coal and all most anything else that will burn. clean the resultant gas and supply it to an ordinary gasoline motor. The motor. however, usually IS larger, for the power produced by the "gazogene' system is slightly less than that from gasoline.
 The systems, applied mainly to trucks. are not very popular with professional chaufteurs. because they are dirtier and considerably more trouble 10 handle than saso- line systems.
