j ' THE NATIONAL CODE
j It has often been said that! if only a people could get to
gether on a peac6-time' project with the spirit that is dis
ced in time of war, it could surmount almost any obstacle.
Ojhat is the chance that is open to us now.
I We are being asked to submerge selfish interests for the
common' good; to be Americans first and self-seeking in
dividuals later: to stand united for the sake of those fellow
i
xjtizens who' have not yet had a fair break. This brings us
n great challenge and a great opportunity. ' ' ' " '
ii is a challenge because it will test our intelligence, our
patriotism and our endurance just as deeply and just as truly
as ,any war-timd emergency ever did. ! And it is an oppor
tunity because it opens the way to a now day in American
history.' ' "' ' ' . 1,1 ' '" "

SIRE LETTERS PRINTED,
La Orande. Ore.
I note In Mr. OrUfln'a article of
July 28th In tho Open Court he calls
attention to what tho street car men
did ln Portland some time ngo. I
do hot subscribe to tho share the
wori idea. I have never advocated
a Blprtcr day with a cut In pay and
do not now. A railway schedule of
pay j reads "One hundred miles or
less,' live hours or Iras, shall consti
tute a days work." The less In both
cases Is paid 100 miles, and It alio
take a full 8 hours to be a 100 mller.
If you make more than a hundred
miles you get extra pay for extra
miles run; If you work oy, 8 hours
jrou get time and one-half time for
all time worked over 8 hours, but
tho Brothers want moro tnnn this,
they want Rnd get asoo miles per
month In freight wrvlcc nnd 4800
In passenger service nnd this is not
enough, they take more, as high as
4000tm freight. I notice as high as
2400 miles made the first half of
July, this Is more than should be
allowed m a full month, I do not
believe In cutting any mans pay r
day. - But I do believe it's timo to
take the racket out of the railway
brotherhood!, as racket this blc
mlleae.o Is. No doubt Gen. Hugh
Johnson has something up his alceve
In regard to this, us he has staled
no racketeering would be allowed by
employer or employe. 1 am sure an
N. R. A. banner would look line
floating over the "doc house'' anil in
a short time most all the brothers
would be proud of it. But weigh
yes Juntly and stint not the balance.

UNTIL WE LEARNED BETTER
But the state of the art
Until we learned better, we used to mix wood and steel in our car

It was the best way to make bodies then.
has advanced.
Of course, it is more expensive to make an all-steel body than to
make a wooden frame and nail steel panels on to it. The better way in
volves an initial expenditure of several millions of dollars for new dies,
which renders a change very costly. Cars, especially large expensive cars
which are produced in small volume, cannot afford this, because the dies
cost as much for one car as for a million. That alone explains why all
steel bodies are not used in all cars."
But our basic policy from the beginning is to make a good car better,
regardless of cost.
For example, when we discarded wood-steel body construction, it was
not because we lacked wood. We still have some thousands of acres of the
best hard wood in America. Economy would urge us to use up the wood
firsthand then adopt the better all-steel body. But we decided that
quality was more important than expense.
Ke weighed the reasons, for and against, before we made the change.
Ke could see only one reason for retaining a mixed wood-and-steel body
nailing the metal on, instead of welding an all-steel body into a
strong one-piece whole. That reason was, it would be cheaperfor us.
Our reasons for adopting an all-steel body were these: A wood-steel
body is not much stronger structurally than its wooden frame. In all
American climates, wood construction weakens with age. Every used car lot
gives evidence of this. Rain seeps in between joints and the wood decays.
A car may have a metal surface, and yet not be of steel construction.
Under extreme shock or stress the steel body remains intact dented per
haps, but not crushed. .
Steel does not need wood for strength or protection. Wood is fine for
furniture, but not for the high speed vehicles of 1933.
In the Ford body there are no joints to squeak, no seams to crack
or leak.
The all-steel body is more expensive to us, but not to you.
By all odds, then, steel bodies seem preferable.
Wheels also have become all-steel. No one argues that an electrically,
welded one-piece steel wheel, such as the Ford wheel, needs to be
"strengthened" by adding wood to it. .
The one-piece all-steel body is the strongest, safest, quietest. mo3t
durable body made. That is our only reason for making them.
