AUTO MEN TALK
MODEL CHANGES
Tool Making Shops Busy.
Output Likely to Hit
100000 Soon.

DETROIT, August 24.-The auto
mobile industry will reach the 3,000,-
000-unit mark in its 1885 production
program within the next six weeks.
This is indicated on the basis Of out
put to date, the probable activity Of
the various plants between now and
October /, and the demand that has
kept several plants in production of
current models well beyond the date
set for switching over to next years
types.
The proximity Of the new model
season has started the usual flood Of
rumors regarding the changes to be
made in certain lines Of passenger
cars.
On the one hand gossip has 1t that
only minor alterations are planned
for certain cars Of the medium or
lower priced brackets.
In other sources the statement Is
heard that the industry, having made
so few important changes generally
during the recovery" period, is plan
ming to spend much more money on
new machinery than it has in any one
year since the curtailment of buying
power began.
There appears to be basis for both
assertions. Some makers who brought
out radically changed cars for this
years campaign are planning few
alterations in body lines, while others
who made few changes in their 1885
types are generally credited with
planning significant innovations.
Day and night activity in the die
and tool making shops bears out the
assertion of those who look for many
materially changed vehicles in the
1886 lines. The tool plant activity Is
more pronounced at this time than it
has been for several years past during
the period Immediately preceding new
model production.

STEEL RATE RISES

CLEVELAND, August 24-Opera-
tons in the steel industry scared to
52h per cent this week, as steadily
mounting gains shattered the tradi.
ton of a Summer slump.
The upward trend has been In prog
ress since about July 8, when opera
tons were at 81 per cent.
Observers of the industry say steel
producers agree that production will
gain without fluctuation until No
vember /. Some have expressed the
belief that the rise will prevail until
January /. Others expect leveling-
of in November.
The years peak is expected in Oc-
tober In anticipation Of introduction
of 1895 automobile models at the New
York show in November. The steel
industry customarily is from 80 to As
days ahead of the automobile assem-
bly, lines.
The years record in operations to
date was 541a per cent in February.
The peak in 1894 was 81 per cent, at
tanned both in May and June. The
top in 1888 was 81 per cent and in
1882 it was 28.5 per cent.

I'm January, 1884, when rents were
at the low for the depression. the
cost Of building index was $40. The
cost Of building has thus shown little
increase since the time and has con-
sequently not been much of an offset
to the rise of rents.
1.-THE cost Of building. however, Is
still too high as compared with the
rent level. This helps to explain why
building activity is still equal to only
quarter of the pre-depressicu
volume. This, however, has not been
a sufficient obstacle to prevent some
expansion since the upward rent trend
has convinced some people that rents
will eventually reach level that will
justify present costs, especially in view
of the failure of costs to advance"

This latter Is loose Tipped phrase, and
should be clarified to apply to violators of the
1918 Law relating to alien advocates Of force

this Law is seen by the absurd action of the
Labor Department in arresting the British
author. Strachey, and then being unable to
prove the case.

webs, catching little particles and letting
weighty objects fall through. This is par
ttcularly true Of our immigration laws that

families, but let the big crooks get by.

the ex-general admits it himself
it is not because of Father Cough
Inns nationality, religion, or mode

nize in him a leader who can not
be controlled by the moneyed in
tereSts; a man whose heart bleeds
with compassion for the destitute
victims of a financial system that
is antediluvian in practice and
effect.
But such satanic propaganda is
a fair example Of the extremes to
which the harbingers Of plutocracy
will go in their frantic efforts to
thicken the smoke screen. The ex-
general and his frightened abeC-
tors would do well to remember
that knowledge is power" and

The radio and the press, q refer
to free press have exercised a
wholesome educational influence
in our country during the last few

forts of honest men much of our
