Goodyear
Profit
Up $50

Mr. Carl Reed OF the Goodyear
Tire and Rubber Co. last week
told Cumberland Kiwanis that it
would be necessary for American
workmen to produce twice as
much as a; present in the same
time for the same pay
Well. here is report of how his
corporation did in the profit line
for the first six months of this
year.
Goodyear Tire and Rubber i'll
creased its profits to the tune Of
one-half million dollars in the first
six months of 1910. Its profit was
S4.l42 892 compared to a profit OF
S3.6l0.595 in the first six months
of 1899. an increase of Is per cent.
p. w. Litchfeld. president,
pointed out that these profits
were obtained in the face Of heavy
retroactive war taxes imposed
upon certain Of the company'S
foreign subsidiaries. according TO
the Wall St. journal of August 6.
1910.
OF the total assets Of the COM
pany amounting 20 Sl9l 100000
some S40.776.000 is invested out
side the United States and its
possessions.
Profit is figured after payment
OF federal income taxes and after
other provisions such as reserves
for fiuctuation in foreign eX-
change. In the first six months Of
1910 some 1915 900 was set aside
for padding possible shifts in for
elgn money values. But In spite
of this. profit for these six months
in 1880 re- sed Is per cent above
thu 1879 figure.

THE CASE AGAINST WILLkIE

nail against the working class and for the
vested interested classes. His financial record
OF Commonwealth & Southern has been blast,
ed time after time and impoverished investors
followed the C. & s stock bubble
His labor record will not stand up to
any impartial and unbiased examination.
Concerns in which he played leading
parts have black histories of labor intimi-
dalton, use of labor spies, and opposition
to union organization of workers. He
tries to falsely take credit for having
signed labor contracts with A. F. of l..
and c. |. o. unions without revealing
that such contracts were signed only after
strikes and recourse to the National Labor
Relations Board.
Wkie attacks corrupt Democratic city
chieitains and keeps mum when he speaks in
a town where the Republican bosses are
graiteIs.
He kicks when he receives egg receptions
and when he speaks in Jersey City. but he
stayed as close as an oyster last year when
the representatives of minor political parties
received even worse treatment.
Wlkie makes false and misleading prom
ises that he will put the unemployed to work.

Then he tells the electorate that they will have
to prepare for further suffering and taxation
because OF the past sins OF the New Deal in
looking after the people
WillLie hasn't yet given concrete plan
of how he will put the unemployed to
work save for the reactionaries' generali-
ties of "leaving business Alone" ZEN
couraging free enterprise" land leaving
the business giants to drive the nation
back into Hooverism).
The working men OF the electorate have
listened to Willkie and found him wanting.
Their daily conversation reveals this fact and
all the reactonary press OF big business
throughout the nation cannot make case on
the issue.
The verdict of the workers is that there is a
case against Willkiel

hNht
Fellow Members:
In view of the rapid approach OF
election day, Tuesday, Nov. 5th. II
is fitting that ! address myself to
the membership and staff OF the
Textile Workers Union Of America
on the importance Of getting out
the labor vote for Roosevelt and
the New Deal.
on November 5th the workers OF
America will decide whether TO
give up the fight for Improvement
OF their society, or whether TO
continue it by rejecting President
Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
We have no time TO lose. We
must top off our campaign with a
last minute drive for votes.
Local union officers. committees
and members should make a
methodical, vigorous campaign be-
tween now and election day OF
all their fellow workers, their rel.
atives and their friends.
Make a list of your prospects.
Talk to them. Answer their ques-
tions. Point out the gains made
by America under Roosevelt and
the New Deal.
Get them TO pledge their votes
for Roosevelt and the New Deal
Wear Roosevelt buttons. Give
them Roosevelt buttons. Give
them literature. Bring them to
meetings.
Check your list on election day
10 make sure each one has voted.
Help to arrange transportation.
Don't forget the votes which you
swing to Roosevelt may be the
very ones which will win the cleo
ton.
The reactionaries are mobilizing
AGAINST US. This is no time to
coast along. Over confidence IS
an enemy. We must take moth
Ing for granted.
Some may think the reelection
of Roosevelt is so certain that they

B. d o. workers that the New Deal
ruined their company by loaning
them millions OF dollars to keep
operating and that Roosevelt lost
them their jobs! We believe the
Teller would try 1t, TOO!
No Poll

impartial poll went abegging. and
I can't say that blame the New.
II the editor Just could watch
how CelaneSe workers and rubber
workers here grab up the RooSe-
Welt buttons at the plant gates
and learn how hard it is TO keep
the supply up. he would realize
that IL is going to take more than
the Chamber Of Commerce TO put

The Tin Mill
There are reports that the
n. & G. Taylor tinmill is being
dismantled. Wonder II Willkie
could tell the people why? Won
der II he has read the report
given BY COMPANY OFF,
GALS and quoted by union
heads before the Temporary Ma
tionai Economic Committee.
Wonder how Willkie would
have kept the tin mill going

the new and improved plants OF
the Republic Steel Corporation
TO have been built:
And. by the way. what would
Willkie say about the Scandal

paper took half its front page in
an effort 10 make mystery Of the
fact that the Maryland National
Guard is TO report for active duty

The papers sister paper the

very low taste in its illiterate and
scandalous article on Sidney Hill

Population Changes
May Alter Salaries

OLYMPlA-City councilmen and
commissioners, whose salaries de-
pend on the population of their
cities. may have their pay in
creased or cut according to the
official 1910 census figures. Attor-
ney General Smith Troy said We'd
nesday in an opinion to State
Auditor Cliff Yelle.
The question was raised by ]. H.
Jahnke, Centralia city attorney,
who informed Yelle that city would
fall below the 5000 population
class and its city commissioners
apparently would be entitled only
to $1,000 a year, instead of $1,000.
Troy concurred in this opinion.
The attorney general said salary
adjustments would have to be
made when the official 1910 census
was announced. but that salaries
being paid incumbent officials
could not be changed during their
term of office. Any new officers
after the census was announced
will be subject to the revisions up
ward or down.
