THE OliEGON- SUNDAY J JOURNAL, POhTLAZID, ' SUNDAY IIOHNING, DECEMDIII CI, 1C13. 4 EX-SEIilE f.1EU VJILLBE FAVORED Gzng Men Favor Dismissal of Employes Who Are Not CM-,' zens of the United States. The Portland Garage and Repairmen's association, at He meeting; last "VTednea 6ar night. In the Tyrolean room of the Benson hotel, put Itself oa record as hit Ing nnantmouair In- tavor ot the speed dismissal of all men In the employ or the garage owner of this city who were not ltleas of the United States, and to , fill their', places with ,x-eervlce men. The fact that numbers of ea-servle men in the city who are capable of holding the jobs now held by aliens are out of work led to the movement ; , Purina; the coarse of the meeting, a . report was . heard? from the committee having in charge : the campaign for the 1 bettering of the streets of the city by keeping the glass picked up ,off the streets where - automobiles are . driven. '.. The committee has secured the coopera tion of the city In the movement, and ' Is also seeing that the average motor 1st is educated In his duties in the mat ter. -t ' ", .,'::. ' The organisation also went on record as being In favor of the city's cam tpalgn in the ' prevention of accidents. Every garage man was asked to assist In everr way he could in' teaching the motorist his duty at street Intersections. . and In regard to the speed law and ordinances. This movement was taken In spite of the fact that, as a erltlcof the motion phrased It, the men passing the motion found money in their pockets on the occasion of every accident. Will J. Letter, presidents of the : or ganisation, made a short address In which he warned the garage and repair- men that upon them to a great extent depended the public's attitude toward the automotive Industry. That f on one ' garage man to profiteer or give unsat isfactory work meant, that the' public would have a distorted opinion of the aims of all garage men. The duty of ' the garage, Mr. Lester declared, was to serve as a place where the motorist might come for advice as well as paid repair work. . ' - It behooved the man In the repair business, he declared, to give the cus tomer such service that each ' garage ' would have its roster of patrons, and . would not.be looked upon solely as a " place where cars should be taken when . theytara no longer able to be driven. If ' price - were too high, Mr. Lester de- clartd, they should be reduced. 'I, "Education," said Mr. Lester, "is al most as, Important a thing as the prob- ' lmn MfiiMl rnati "Mnmi nMlltA Afi not'- familiar with their cars, do pot know what is really the matter with them. There should be more cooperation between 'Owner and repairman. It developed In the course of the meet' . Ing that each service car was carrying . a dust-pan and broom for the purpose of picking up stray bits of glass and other trash, . Distributing Eights Por Wire Wheel Have Been Secured Announcement Is made by C. XL Qun- . flerson of the Wire Wheel Distributing company, 431 Stark street, that the firm had secured the distributing rights for th Hayes wire .wheel for Oregon and : the river counties of Washington. The wheel is manufactured by the Hayes Wheel company of Jackson, Mich., , the largest builders of wheels in the world. Several shipments of the wheels are already en route, to the distributors, who are finding the demand for -. heels of. wire construction very great - "Wire wheels are coming more and more into demand,". sa)d Mr. Ounder son, "and I look forward to the time when they wilt he almost universally used. Wooden wheels cause the car to rent on the spokes, and the thrust of the weight of the body is absorbed - through & downward push. In the case of wire wheels, the weight is carried by the body of the car being literally hung from the rims. The material of which ' the spokes are built gives this form of . conatruelion a certain shock-absorbing power that Js a decided advantage to drivers. The wheels have the advantage of being readily changed, are resilient In rira construction, and, in- the opinion ' of a number of people, add a great deal ' of the appearance of an auomotblle." ; A' Callfornian has designed a lawn mower that can be substituted for the front wheel of a motorcycle and thus be run by power. i IT IS EASY TO.

" rThe Plerce-Arrow factory has. laid plans for an enormous production for the coming year, and the handicaps officials are experiencing are almost dishearten ing." said Mr. Fagan.
