1898 DODGE
TRUCKS PUT
ON DISPLAY

Of interest to commercial car
and truck users is the announce
ment that new 1888 Dodge trucks
are now on display in the show
rooms of Dodge and Plymouth
dealers-the line of offerings in
Guiding beautiful new commercial
cars, as we'll as smart looking trucks
in the medium and heavy-duty
classes.
The "19 econ-o-mizers" featured
throughout the entire Dodge truck
line are of special interest as these
o-mizers" are reported to
effect unusual savings in gas and
oil consumption, tire wear and gen.
eral operating economy.
Commercial models include pan
ell, canopy, screen, commercial Sc
dan and pickup. The Al ton
series includes panel, chassis with
cab, two express and two stake
models in two wheelbase lengths.
Heavier Dodge trucks include one

models.
The commercial cars have a
chassis with 116-inch wheelbase and

ENGLAND ESCAPING
aLABOR CONTROVERSY

lish labor was agricultural. Some
sections would have much better
crops than others. To protect the
laborers of each county, this law
was passed. 1t was the early fore
runner of the regulatory legisla-
tion with which we are wrestling
today.
incidentally, while looking up this
first labor "act", 1 came across a
law whereby anyone found cutting
his initials" or otherwise defacing
bridge, building. statue. or fence,
was exiled for life. This law was
backed by labor because it reduced
the supply! For centuries. hum
dreds of different experiments and
programs have been tried over there
and-like the above-later repealed.
The workers only real protection
whether he be German, British.
Canadian, or American - lies in
greater production and lower prices.
New Dear Old Stuff
A study of history shows that
England has had ten violent New
IlObIllIlS
in the Roosevelt program of today
which has not been tried in Eng
land, France and Germany. Some
of this egislation-such as Stock
Exchange Regulation and Old Age
Unemployment Insurance - h S
stuck; but all previous attempts to
regulate prices and wages have
failed and been repealed.
Today, parliament is interested in
increasing the birth rate, improv-
ing the health Of workers, eliminat-
ing slums, and reducing the cost
of living. I repeat. all our New
Deal legislation-Which gives Wall
Street such jitters-is "old stuff
to English and Continental inves-
tors. They do not fear it. Even
labor leaders are skeptical of it
as an aid to them.
These leaders say: "The working
people of America have secured a
much higher standard of living
without restrictions and legislation.
They are foolish to get tied down
by labor unions and let the in
efficient workers set the pay STAN
dards for the entire group" The
average weekly income of workers
of the United States is within two
per cent of the high of 1929 while
the cost of living is from II to Is
per cent less.
This does not mean that our
workers are saving this amount OF
money, but rather that they are
getting this proportion more in food.
clothing, shelter, education, and
comforts. The same figures also
apply substantially to England al
though her pay scales and STAN
dard of living are considerably un-
der our wage and living standards.
Europe Likes New Deal
Yes. America has motor vehicle
to every five persons while England
has one car to every twenty in
dividuals; and we have an electric
refrigerator to every three families
in comparison with one to every
twenty British families. Let me
emphasize that the manufacturers
and big employers Of England and
Europe are all for Roosevelt and his
experiments. They believe that our
New Deal will SO increase manu-
featuring costs in America that it
will be easier for their goods to
lump our tariff walls and under
sell our products in our markets!

BY ROGER BABSON

BOSTON, Mass, Nov 13-Eng-
land is free of much of the labor
unrest which we are experiencing
Labor troubles have decreased
drastically in recent years. From
peak in 1926, the annual number
of workers involved in disputes has
dropped 85 per cent. Not only the
return of prosperity, but the high
degree of unionization, are respon-
sible for this improvement. Total
membership in trade unions in Eng
land at present is 100000, or nearly
one-half Of all male industrial
workers Our own figures are
roughly 100000 union members
This is about one-fourth of our
male industrial workers.
Yet, surprisingly enough, union
interest in England seems to be
on the wane. Labor leaders over
there are now trying desperately to
stage a demonstration" as they
call it. They recently have had a
hard time in getting even small
audiences. When / asked one OF
the leaders the reason for this diff
ficulty he said:
Some years ago when labor was
fighting for recognition. this hall
would be many times over-floWed
when / called a meeting. Now,
when everyone is member OF some
labor union and when collective
bargaining is universal, the wage
workers have lost interest in union
activities"
New Slant on Labor Issue
This is typical of what 1 heard
everywhere in England. Industrial
lists over there believe that Ameri-
can employers are foolish to fight
labor in it's attempts to organize
7aYni bargain. A manufacturer said
y b me- "A boiler eXplodes only when
%he safety valve is tied down" "
Labor is well employed where I
90 Unemployment has been cut
in half since the crisis New build
ings are going up everywhere. Total
construction is double the level OF
five years ago.
Britain's share of total world
trade has edged-up from 70 per cellC
in 1881 to 81 per cent at present.
Retail trade is very active. Trains
and busses are crowded with peo-
pie. Holidaying is even more popu-
lar than it is here. Retail prices
and the cost of living have been
held down remarkably well. But
wages and the standard of living
are both much below our own. In
telligent and skilled women work
ers are satisfied with ten dollars
per week.
A 700 Year-Old Labor Law
I spent several days in Glouces-
ter, England because it is the city
from which my birthplace-Glou-
cester. Massachusetts - took its
name. 1t was once the capital of
England where parliament met.
The first labor legislation ever en-
acted was written in that city in
the year 1880 This first labor law
was to prevent workers from one
county coming into another and
spelling the demand for labor
thereby reducing wages
OF course, 700 years ago all Eng
