Then at the same local meeting
they decided that If boss hired two
men on the job, at s35 each, he could
hire girl for sl8. In other words,
instead of paying three workers $35
each, one who did the same work
would get $l8. In short, a wage cut.
Then when the girl gets experienced,
the men will be told to work for s18,
or girl will get their job.
Unemployed workers, compare the

The Medical Workers Industrial
League has already fulfilled its quota
in the T'UUC recruiting campaign by
doubling It's membership, though the
drive has more weeks to go.
Despite this achievement, numer-
GUS shortcomings were expressed in
the drive which makes it necessary
to critically review our activity dur

example, our pledge to build groups
of from 1918 in 3 large hospitals
was realized only in one establish

With the first national AUTO

car design and construction can
be said to enter upon a new
era. These latest offerings, in
two groups and II body styles,
far excel in luxury, in perform

The Pierce-Arrow line is COM
pleted by the new eight, in IL

than the corresponding eight OF
last year.
Radical revision is made in
prices, the eight ranging upward
from $2,495, and the twelves up

The twelves are available also
with custom built bodies by

STYLE CHANGES
DOMINATE IN
GRAHAM

Graham, with the opening of
the automobile show, discloses
that its new line for 1882 in
cludes not only the Blue Streak
Eight, hailed as the outstanding
sensation of the year, but also a
low.priced Graham Six with
numerous improvements in body
and chassis.
Seven body models comprise
the Blue Streak series. They are
the standard sedan, deluxe sedan,
deluxe coupe, standard rumble
seat coupe, deluxe rumble seat
coupe and the deluxe convertible
coupe.
Besides the eight, the Graham
line includes also the new six,
built in two models, the four-door
five-paSSenger sedan and the four
door town sedan. Models on view
at the auto show are the Blue
Streak sedan, coupe, de luxe
sedan and the Graham Six sedan.
The most strikingly new me-
chanical developments of the
Blue Streak eight are the deep
banjo frame, outboard springs,
and Graded suspension, all ex.
elusive features with the Graham,
and the aluminium cylinder head.
A New Type of Car
The bodies Of the Graham
Eight not only bears no resem-
blance to the previous models,
but depart boldly from conven-
tional practice. On the new banjo
frame, which has permitted the
lowering of the body without de-
creasing road clearance, the
Graham engineers have created
a new type Of car. = While the
radiator and hood. the air-foil
tenders, and the streamlining ef-
fects are instantly noted as being
different, the new effect is not
so much in the details as in the
ensemble, which gives new i'm
preston of unity.
Inspection of the car as a
whole suggests that much of its
difference in appearance is due
to the studied omission of eXter-
1or accessories and to the sys.
tematic conceaiment of units that
would detract from the smooth
ness of it's flowing contours.
There are no fender or headlight
tie rods across the front, no park
ing lamps on tenders or cowl, no
exterior radiator cap. Chromium
is conspicuously absent; even the
head lamps are in color. The
radiator grill and the hub caps
are the only units showing an
extensive use of chromium plate.
Under Carriage Is Concealed
The new type tenders, with
their deep side valances, besides
giving a pleasing new line of
grace, effectually conceal the
working parts of the under-car.
riage, hiding from view the steer
ing connections, springs, axles
and the under surface of the
mudguards themselves. This con.
cealment is carried out all
around by the smoothly finished
metal trim, front and rear. The
back Of the car is notably clean,
the lines and contours of the
body, the tenders and the fuel
tank cover combining in grace

There is no question about
