Jeffries Asserts
War Output Refutes
Tales of Dissension, He
Tells Illinois Convention
Times staff Correspondent

SPRlNGt lELD. Ill, OCT. o.
Confining himself 10 production
facts and figures, Mayor Edward
j. Jeffries Jr. of Detroit today told
a gathering of Illinois business
men that Detroit is a stick OF
democratic dynamite about to OK
plode in the faces of Hitler and
Hirohito.
peaking 10 the Midday
Luncheon Club in conjunction with
the convention of the Illinois
Municipal League. Jeffries pointed
to Dctroits already staggering
war production record as a rebuff
tai 10 rumors that Detroit is torn
by labor and racial strife and is
failing TO deliver the goods to win
the war.
GET MORE THINGS DONE
Sure" Jeffries said, 1--WE have
some labor disputes and racial
and religious feuds, and heated
arguments among governmental
officials just as do other large
cities. But the rest of the story
Is that we get more things done.
United States Department of
Labor statistics for the first six
months of 1912 show that Michi-
gan has not been among the
first five states i'm the matter
Of man hours lost through
strikes. Illinois, by the way, was
among the first five every
month.
'1n fact, the disputes between
labor and management I'm De-
trOit have revOlved around the
complaint of labor leaders that
management has not been able
to think and function fast
enough to speed up the entire
production program i'm order to
satisfy labor's eagerness to work
harder and produce faster
toward winning the war"
HOW CITY PROVES ITSELF
The mayor enumerated the fol.
lowing things which Detroit has
done and will do to prove itself
the arsenal of democracy:
1. Since Pearl Harbor Detroit
industry has completed 10 time:
as many model changes as in {
normal, similar period.
2. During the same period il
has produced and delivered at &
rate 80 per cent higher than its
peacetlme production peak.
3. BY December Detroit will be
producing at a rate equivalent &c
the production Of 10 million cars
and trucks a year, double its
peacetime high, and will increase
this to Is millions during next
year.
4. War deliveries arc now at a
rate exceeding by 30 times the
original schedules.
5. Auto production methods
have cut manufacturing time 10 a
fraction of what arsenalS
required.
Does that sound to you as IL
the production of war materials
I'm Detroit is being crippled by
labor disputes and factional
strife: 1t doesn't to me-" JEFF
fries concluded.

Lewistown Democrat-News issued
its annual oil edition this week, de-
voting eight pages to pictures and

refiners and others.
1.-THE hope of discovering oil has
been lure equal to that which gold
holds for the seekers after sudden
riches" say the lead article. Like his
prototype, the gold prospector, the oil
'wildcatter' has willingly ventured his
all in the confident belief that the
next turn of the drill will bring forth
the reward of years of toll and dream
ing. To his faith and courage and
spirit of adventure we owe the dis
covery of many Of our greatest fields,
although few of his kind have ever
received commensurate profits from
their pioneering.
Science is rapidly reducing the ex-
IRENE hazards incident to explorations
for oil Today the competent Oil man
determines the location of his rig by
precision instruments which tell him
with miraculous accuracy what may
lie thousands of feet below the crust
Of the earth. This saves the waStage
Of money and effort, diminishes the
of poignant disappointment.
There is still enough of the element |
Of chance to inspire the adventurous,
but the day may come when that ele-
nent will be practically non-existent.

oles, list of producers and list of /
