AlS CAltCA "a LOGO.
In the production Of its latest
models. which 1t lists at the same
average prices, the industry has not
departed from time-proved principles
Of design. At the same time. 1t has
spent prodigally Of money and talent
to produce o motor car which Is
new from its glistening metal top to
its sturdiiy shod wheels. Short Of
discarding the conventional alto
gether in favor Of the radical. the
individual manufacturer could not
have aehieved more In the way OF
newness In his 1885 product.
Startling Rrsshness.
The total effect Of the automobile
show for this year Is one Of startling
freslne1s. The show visitor will ind
that al manufacturers have varied
their products strikingly from last
ysar. while many have bounded into
new price ZONES with entirely new
products experimenting their estab-
lished lines.
A brief review Of some Of the
changes Of this character illustrates
the spirit Of reaching out for new
markets which has pervaded all Sec
tors Of the industry.
The manufacturer Of one Of the
best-known lines Of luxury automo-
biles, eights and twelves, has blos-
somed forth with . 11o-horsepower.
l20-inch wheelbase straight eight,
which bows its way In with . base
price model at $3.50.
The companies manufacturing the
two most extremely streamlined pas
senger cars are each introducing COM
panion products Of more conventional
body pattern
Two pioneer companies, which here
tofore have operated on the lower
frtnges of the medium-price class.
have dipped down into the low-me-
dunn field-just above the popular
with new six-cylinder lines. Both
cars, coming from erstwhile con-
servatives. are quite advanced in body
design: advanced" without being ex-
treme.
Nor is that al! The manufacturer
OF one Of the faster selling eights In
the low-medium price group has de-
cided that the public demand justif1es
the addition Of . six-cylinder car.
which begins at $6l5. The oddity Of
the gesture lies in the fact that It
was Just two years ago that the COM
pany dropped its supplemental six to
concentrate on the eight entirely.
New Six Injected.
Still another manufacturer, one Of
the larger Independents, has injected
q new six into the price list between
his existing skies and eights,
while snother demonstrates suhicient
temerity to challenge the big three
with . new six selling in the popular
price tier.
Refusing to be handicapped by the
fact that he offered . complete new
line Of cars less than two months ago,
another Of the independents clamors
now for attention With . new group Of
supercharged sports cars.
Decidedly the industry Is moving
again. Not since the 1927-29 period
has there been any wave of COM
panion cars comparable to that which
1855 has brought. II means competi-
ton; fierce competition, but with the
fruits Of victory going largely to the
public Hhich buys new automobiles.
Analysis Of the new models reveals
very quickly that engineering in 1885
has concerned itself more with funda-
mentals than with the creation Of
Gadgets. Remarkably few Of the fea-
tures Of the new cars fan into the
ssdget category. Moreover, some Of

mechanical devices and the two motor
clubs also came in for their share
Of observation.
Steady Uptrend Noted.
Last year a steady uptrend was
noted In the automobile industry and
indications everywhere point to a
greater increase this year. General
business has improved and. with ad-
vent of the 1885 models and their
attendant attractions, q steady mar
ket should be provided.
Automotive Detroit Is expecting
1885 will be the biggest year since
1929, both for itself and the thou
sands Of other industries of America
contributing to the manufacture Of
automobiles. According to figures
obtained from authoritative sources
by the Detroit Publicity Committee,
the total value Of the 1885 automobile
output, based on the present pro-
duction projections Of the Detroit
manufacturers, will reach q grand
total Of $500, 100000.
II automobile production continues
to increase during 1885 in the ratio
demanded by current sales, q pro-
duction of 100000 cars is predicted
for 1885. with complete return to
normal in the industry by the end of
1885.
This huge sum of q billion and Q
half does not include capital in.
vestment, machinery, tools, perma-
nent equipment, or wages that may
be paid In Detroit. All Of it, when
realized, except the overhead, Ger
tain of the profits and the wages
paid locally in the Detroit plants, will
find its way back to the pay envelopes
Of contributing industries and sup
pliers Of raw and finished materials
located in every State in the Union.
It would be sufficient to provide
100000 families Of four persons each
with comfort" income Of $2,500.
The production schedules antici-
pated will call for approximately
$l35,000,000 worth Of steel, 325,-
100000 pounds Of cotton, and other
raw and finished materials in pro-
portion.
Every State Aided.
Every State In the Union will share
the benefits Of this production sched-
ule. The Eastern States will con-
tribute textiles, paper, machinery,
chemicals, electrical equipment, steel,
coal, paint and lacquer. From the
Middle West the industry will call
for machinery, rubber manufactures,
porcelain, copper, lead, lumber. iron,
zinc. glass, steel, oil, aluminium, man
ganese, hides and grain by-products.
The Southern States win contribute
coal, lumber, textiles, turpentine,
asbestos, cotton and sugar cane by
products. Hides, gold. silver, mercury.
oil, hair, wool. tungsten and lumber
will come from the Far West, and
from the coast. lumber, wood products.

facturers' Association of New York,

Wholesale Slaughter Permitted

"a few months ago a great pas
senger liner burned at sea, with
loss of life totaling about 100. Re
Gently a crack Canadian passen-
ger train tore onto a siding and
~telescoped a "'holiday special A
score Of people died.
Each Of these tragic incidents
headlined in newspapers through
out the civilized world. Millions
Of people were literally horror
stricken. Public and private bod
les immediately started inquiries
in an effort to fix the blame and
punish those who were guilty. The
whole force Of public opinion,
backed by the authority Of the
law, determined that everything
be done to make certain that there
would be no more similar acct
dents.
Yet those killings, horrible as
they were, were infinitesman com
pared with a form Of accident
which the public accepts with
complete indifference-the auto
mobile killing every Is minutes,
and an injury every 81 seconds.
The year showed a record killing
in the United State of $4,000 and
an injury total Of 100000. What
would the public have done if the
railroads and steamships had kill
ed $4,000 persons in n year?
Practically every accident whe-
Their it results in killings or only
in scratched tenders, is the result
of the human element. Ninety
per cent Of automobile drivers are
safe, careful and competent. Ten
per cent are reckless, careless or
incompetent. And that ten per
cent menaces the lives, health and
| property Of us all.
If one steamship accident or a
bad railroad accident killing com
parativelv few people, cause re-
volution legislation to protect the
public, what should be the safety
program resulting from $4,000
automobile killings in one year?

NEGROES ON RELIEF SHOW A
HIGHER RATIO WANTING
EMPLOYMENT
D. EL-.- n Drorur
By Edgar G. Brown

The proportion of Negroes, 16 to
"a years old, who want work is great
er than the proportion for the whites
in the urban relief population, &C
cording to reports coming in to Harry
L. Hopkins, Federal Emergency Re
lief Administrator, from his staff Of
research and field workers.
The greater proportion Of Negroes
on relief who want work, as compared
with the whites, is due, it is believed,
to the greater percentage Of Negro
women than white women seeking
work. In both races, 81 per cent of
the men and boys of working age on
relief want work, but in the Negro re-
lief population, 81 per cent Of the wo-
men and girls want jobs, nearly
twice the proportion Of white women
and girls in this category ga per
cent?. These figures would indicate
that more Negro ONE than white
women have been forced by economic
f, circumstances to consider themselves
as work-seekers rather than as house
wives.
Of 2,0OO,O 900 Negroes on relief in
towns and cities of the United States
in October 1884, more than 1,150,0 900
were estimated to be between the
theoretically ~employable ages of 16
and IS. Of these, more than $685. 900
or rs per cent, were looking for work
or demonstrating their employability
by holding %non-relief jobs Though the
resulting incomes were so small as to
make supplementary relief necessary.
Only "a per cent of the Negroes on
relief, Of the theoretically employ
able ages, were disqualified from the
search for work by disabilities, home
duties or school attendance.

MUST LEGISLATION

(From the Evansville, Indiana press, Jan.
9, 1880
Among Americas achievements last year
were Is lynchings.
This record is the more famous in facts
disclosed by he National Associa ion for the
Advancement of Colored People. All of the vic
tins were Negroes. Nine were taken from
peace officers by mobs, four were accused Of
criminal assault and two Of rape, four of muir
der, one each of the following stealing, asso-
citation with white women, knocking down a
white man, writing a note to a white girl,
talking disrepectfully' to a white man, "mis-
taken identity"
The r"~nrd includes the Claude Neal lynch
ing, probably the most sadistically barbarous
demonstration Of mob fury in the his, DRY Of
5068 American lynchmings since 1882.
1t would be futile to blazon this dishonor
if 1885 did not hold promise of something bet
ter.
Congress today has before it the Costigan-
Wagner Anti-Lynching Bill, holding counties
financially liable for mob lawlessness in their
borders. The very threat Of this measure
checked the lvnch evil last year. While the
bill was pending in Congress lynching stop
ped completely, but when it became apparent
that Congress would not act they broke forth
with renewed frequency. It is believed that
the publicity given the measure was respon-
sible for the drop Of iynchings from % in 1888
to 16 last year.
Organizations with total membership Of ~
million people are requesting President Roose-
welt to pue the Costigan-Wagner BilV on his
''must" program. The government should
no longer ignore this evil, and the popular
cutlery against it.

WITH SLEEVES ROLLED UP

The Dairymen's League News, published
the Dairymen's League Cooperative AssOcia-
ton Of New York, points out that the Dairy
man has behind Inn a st-rongy-Supported, ag-
greSsive organization which is tackling dairy
problems with sleeves rolled up.
The League affords a splendid example of
what cooperative action can do. It has fought
battle after battle in the great New York Milk
Shed. 1t has fought for a fairer share of the
final selling price of milk products for the
farmer. 1t has fought for a better adjust
ment between demand and supply. It has
fought for a higher standard of production
and distribution. And, when alien radical
elements attempted to disrupt the milk shed
a year or two ago, destroying trucks and intim-
idating farmers, the League fought success
fully for moderation, as opposed the extremists
of either side.
Other cooperatives can show similar records
of achievement Organized agriculture, its
sleeves rolled up, is going places.

whole, including Negroes, whites anc
other races, the proportion Of person:
between the ages of 16 and 65 who
wanted jobs was 65 per cent. Those
who considered themselves unem-
playable amounted to 35 per cent OF
nearly one and a half times the pro-
portion Of Negroes in this classified
ton. For the white relief population
alone, the proportion wanting work
was SO per cent and those who re
garded themselves as unemployable
amounted to 81 per cent.
On the basis Of the findings Of the
Survey of Occupational Character
istics Of Persons Receiving Relief in
70 Cities, conducted by the FERA,
it is estimated that SAC, 900 Negroes
on the October urban relief rolls who
wanted jobs had had previous work
experience. This number represents
about 95 per cent of all those who
wanted work. In the general urban
relief population, aged 16 to "a, in
GLIDING all races, the proportion of
experienced workers to the total
workers was SO per cent.
If jobs were available, the Negroes
on relief could fill a variety Of occu-
patons. Only about $4,000 or n and
a half per cent Of the experienced
workers had been professional per-
ons or business proprietors or Off
ials. About $4,000 or 2 per cent were
formerly white collar workers, such
as statesmen, office clerks, investiga-
tors, bookkeepers, cashiers, steno-
g%raphers, and telephone and tele-
graph operators.
Skilled workers and foremen num-
bered approximately $4,000 or about
8 percent of the experienced workers
including building trades craftsmen,
machinists and mechanics. Nearly
100000 or about IS per cent of all ex-
perienced Negro workers on relief,
had been semi-skilled workers. Most
Of these had been employed in manu-
featuring, which accounted for more
than 100000 workers. Chauffeurs
made up the majority Of the non
manufacturing semi-skilled Negro
workers.
Two-thirds Of all Negro workers on
relief were unskilled,Lnearly $40, 1000.
About 400, 900 Of these, Of whom more
than 100000 were women, had worked
in personal service occupations, as no.
tel or household servants, janitors,
cooks, and laundry workers. The bal
ance Of the unskilled workers, about
180, 900, had been laborers.

'HUEY LONG IGNORES LYNCHIHG
and FRANCHISE FOR NEGROES
IN HIS FIGHT FOR POOR MAN
Senator Gives Interview to The Crises,
Declaring He Won't Touch Cues
ton of Negroes Voting in
South and Can't Do Any
thing About Lynching.

New York, Jan. Ex-senator Huey
P. Long, the Kingfsh of Louisiana and
possible candidate for President in
1886, gave out his first interview on
Negroes to The Crisis magazine here
last week and in it ignored the ques-
ton of Negroes voting in the South
and the question of lynching.
The Kingish, who talked with Roy
| wilkins, managing editor of The Cri-
sis, for thirty minutes, said he
wouldn't touch" the question Of Ne
groes voting in the South. He said it
was one of the things that "even
Huey Long" couldn't handle. The
complete interview appears in the
February issue Of the Crisis, on sale
this week.
On lynching, the Kingfsh lodged a
question about his attitude on the Cos
tigan-Wagner bill. 1t is well known
that he opposes it. Questioned about
the lynching of jerome Wilson in
Franklinton, La. on January II, the
day before the interview, Senator
Long said that lynching had Slipped
up on him and the state, but ex-
pressed the opinion that the lynched
man was guilty as hell"
He rambled on, talking about his
belief in education for Negroes as
well as whites, telling how he had
distributed free school books when he
was governor Of Louisiana. He also
dwelled at length on public health ia
cilities which he said the state of
Louisiana was maintaining for Ne
groes.
The Kingfsh, clad only in a suit of
maroon silk pajamas, received his call
| er in his bedroom at the Hotel New
Yorker. He was courteous except
that throughout the interview he used
the word "nigger' continuously.
He said Negroes in the North were
welcome to join his "share-wealth"
| clubs because they could vote. He was
not concerned with Negroes in the
South because they cannot vote. He
denied that he is definitely going to
run for the Presidency in 1886, but it
would be easy to turn his Share
