The all-steel body and its
beautiful finish are peculiar
to this car, and the one is
made possible by the other.
If a wooden frame were used it would not be
practical to apply the enamel which gives
the body its lustrous finish. The body is
electrically welded into a unit. Then the
enamel is baked on at a high temperature.
The gasoline consumption is unusually low.

PRESIDENT ELLIOTT'S ARRHMFNT AGAINST
' "tiwiiikn IIV4IIIIIUI
THE EIGHT-HOUR LAW IS NOT CONCLUSIVE
President Howard Elliott of tho
New Haven Railroad declares that if
the demand of the railroad employes
for shorter hours of labor is granted,
it will increase th& mat nf living I.,-
limitinjr production.
Mr. Elliott may be right, and he
may be wrong. But in any contin
gency this is not conclusive argument
against the wisdom of granting this
demand of the railroad employes.
Of course, if all other things re
main fixed, to decrease the hours of
labor would mean an increase in the
cost of railroad business, which would
have to be met by the public through
increases in carfares and freight

murder his wife, will bejsiii his prison
term at Kaifonl. Several weeks have
intervened since the trial at which
Dense was convicted, pending argu

by the judge. Immediately after
hearing the argument Judge Peeler
denied the motion and meted out sen

Dense is alleged to have shot his
wife throimh the head with a pistol
while applying hair tonic to her hair
at their home on the night of De

ered from her wound, but was left to
tally blind. Later Dense, while in
custody at the county jail, attempted
to blind himself by inserting a pin in
his eyes. Both husband and wife
were prominent local people and the
case caused no litt'e interest while be

St. Augustine Hotels Well Filled With

Although the month of April is well

renders to rhp nitidis
But in this day of wonderful inven
tions, of wonderful organizings, of
increasing general intelligence, it u
not necessary to assume that all oth er
conditions affecting the railroad
business will remain fixed and un
changeable. There are a great many
conditions which can be changed and
which by changing will very strongly
tend to offset this loss in the hours of
labor.
First. During the last quarter of a
century, since labor organizations bo
ran to demand a decrease in the hours
of tod by workmen, their employers
have met this demand by the same ar
gument which Mr. Elliott now ad.
vances. In fact, the manufacturers,
who were usually the employers in
volved, had even a stronger case than
the railroad managers because the
Legislature which proposed to reduce
the hours of labor was always a State
Legislature, and the manufacturer
was able to say that to reduco the
hours of labor in the factories of the
State would result in handicapping
the industries of the State in compari
son with the industries of anothor
State, where no SUcb law u-ne in fni-rfl
This is always a serious argument
for the State -Legislature to considei
But the labor unions always met this
argument with the contention that the
human f-ame is like the soil; that tho
law of diminishing returns arjplies as
forcibly to the workman's body as it
does to the tilled fields; that the moip
intensely you work it, the less in pro
portion you produce by it. Thay

will contribute to keep down the cost
of operating railroads at the public
exnensp.
Now, the railroads have not any such
argument as the manufacturers, in a'
State opposing a State law which
would raise the standard of wages
above the level of the standard of any
other State, because this demand is
upon ALL the railroads ALIKE, and
i.s not giving any railroad an advant
age over its competitor.
Second. Mr. Elliott assumes, nat
urally enough as a railroad manager,
that the cost of operating a railroad
mi luc uwier uepartments tnan labor
will remain fixed and unchangeable.
But Mr. tlliott assumes too much. It
may remain fixed, but is not unchang
eable; and if it remains unchanged, it
will be the fault of the railroad man
agers. There is a vast difference in
the cost of production between a
