PACKARD WILL
ADD SMALLER
CAR TO OUTPUT
Factory RemodeIing Will
Provide Unit for
Manufacture.

With a complete Encouragement
and renovation of its plant we'll I'M
der way, the Packard Motor Car
Company has started major read
justment of its organization, accord
ing to George D. Hartwick, gen.
eral manager of the Citizens Motor
Car Company, Packard distributor
for this territory.
The widespread changes and adj
ditions in both personnel and manu-
featuring facilities are being carried
out not only to maintain sales of
Packard cars, but also in anticipa-
ton of the greater activity to follow
introduction of the low price car on
which Packard is now intensiveIy at
work.
Without requiring any decrease in
the manufacturing operations of its
present cars, the factories in De-
troit have been going through the
most extensive program of rear
rangement in the history of the
company.
Two Plants Set Up
Through intensive study and en-
ployment of the most modern
methods of factory layout the mile
long plant is being made into two
separate plants, in one of which
manufacture of Packard cars will be
carried on, while the new and much
smaller car will be built in the
other. Both plants will be among
the most compact and efficient in
the industry.
Reorganization in connection with
the smaller car was started months
ago with the addition of more than
ninety engineers to the engineering
department. j. G.. Vincent, vice
president in charge of engineering
now has force of 425 men actively
at work in research, designing and
testing.
Personnel Changed
Reorganizatio of the factory sales
personnel, now we'll under way, is
expected to be followed by greater
supervision and broadening of the
sales organization in the field. M. M
Gilman, vice-president and general
manager, will be in charge of all
sales activities.
R. E. Chamberlain, former gen.
eral sales manager and for the last
few years manager of the factory
branch at Buffalo, N. Y, is being
called back to the factory to become
sales manager of the present Pack
ard division. A sales manager for
the smaller car is to be appointed

A dream of Minnesota sportsmen

Commissioner Willard referred to the
projected acquisition of the Mud Lake
area by the federal government in

western Minnesota. The area will
be used as a game refuge and public
shooting grounds, with particular en-
phasis on migratory waterfowl. "Some
five years ago this tract was approved
by the U. S. Bureau of Biological Sur

area is approved under the program

AS the result of efforts of the State

James Metterling, wanted for at least

robberies at Fairfax, Spring Valley,
Graceville, Tyler, Pipestone, and Win

robbery at Winnebago, which was
committed on January last, all the
crimes were committed last year.
Four members of the mob of bank

to be member, are serving prison

HIT
BY STRACHEY
S, 900 at Mecca Temple
Pledge Aid to Saar
Fight on Nazis

The anti-fascist forces have only
to achieve unity to bring inevitable
and invincible success" John
Strachey, famous English writer and
a leader in the flght against fas-
cism, declared on Friday night to
a meeting of over 5000 people at
Mecca Temple held under the aus
pices Of the American League
Against War and Fascism.
Pointing to the necessity of form
ing the broadest united front against
the advance of fascisrn, Strachey
emphasized that this unity was the
prerequisite for success on the part
OF the anti-fascists, Fascism is not
inevitable, he said.
His eloquent plea for unity was
the high spot of the meeting. After
the speech by Strachey the audi
ence unanimously adopted a resolu-
ton supporting the gallant fight of
the Saar workers to keep that re-
gion from going to the German fas-
cists. A telegram was sent to Max
Braun, one of the leaders of the
united front between Socialists,
Catholics and Communists against
the Nazis, announcing full moral
and financial support, to which the
audience generously contributed.
The thesis of Strachey's talk was
the fact that fascism breeds war.
He anaylzed the situation in Europe
today and pointed to the connection
between the growth of fascism
throughout the continent and the
ever growing danger of an explo-
sion of open warfare between the
capitalist states of Europe"
Citing the events in Austria and
elsewhere, he ridiculed the assertion
Of Sir Oswald Mosley, the English
fascist, that fascisrn stood for
majestic period of peace" He
showed how fascism Immediately

SILK WORKERS.
REJECT NEW
KELLER PACT
LOvestOneite's Contract
Would Leave Wages
to Arbitration

PATERSON, N. j., Dec. 30-The
new contract negotiated by Eli
Keller, Lovestoneite manager Of
the American Federation of Silk
Workers here, was rejected unani-
mously at meeting Of shop chair
men and delegates last Saturday.
In introducing the contract, KEEL
Ter declared that it was better than
the original 1888 contract but was
greeted by the workers with jeers
and catcalls. The chief objection
of the workers against the con-
tract is that the question of wages
is left to arbitration.
The rejection of the contract
negotiated by Keller, makes it vir-
tually certain that the Keller's
Progressive Group" slate will be
overwhelmingly defeated in the
elections for officers of the plain
goods department, in which there
are 1000 members.
The Lovestoneites in the Prog
ressive Group are making the most
desperate efforts to save themselves
from being busted. Their latest
move is an attack against the rank
and file elements through a state
ment printed in the Jewish Daily
Forward, calling for a fight against
the internal enemy"
This vicious attack is being ex-
posed by the rank and file workers
in the union as a last minute at
tempt to confuse the membership.
The membership of the union is
now realizing that the attempt of
the reactionaries to save their posi-
tons is part Of the effort of the
bosses to impose q wage cut.
