today that the troubles there fore
shadow "a conflict that will soon be-
fought through the United States"
In his maiden speech m Congress,

"Shall we discard democracy and
set up government by dictatorship"
Democratic institutions and the or

Louisiana, he asserted.
"The American ideal of a demo-

.AUTO MAKERS HOPE
TO DEFER STRIKES
Huge Production Will Be
Over by April l, Goal of
Manufacturers
By LESLIE EICHEL
Central Press Staff Writer

New York, Feb. Auto manufac-
turers are very much interested in
averting strikes in the auto and sub
sidiary industries. (But they will hold
out to the last against the American
Federation of Labor).
The manufacturers are interested
for a potent reason. If they can have
uninterrupted production from now
till April /, the auto output for the
first quarter of 1885 may total as high
as 100000 units. There were only
10000 units in the like period last
year.
Production of 100000 units would
exceed the first quarter production of
any year since 1930-when the total
was approximately that.
A glass strike already has lowered
glass supplies.
Production is not expected to con-
tinue at such a high rate all year.
The present squirt is to stock dealers
