IDGAL DISCUSSION
OFFICIALLY SETTLED
Navy Yard HollermakerN Paid as
High as l IN per Day, Merhan
- ics as High as 94. (M)
Following a discussion among l
cal men as to the salary paid to boll
ermskers at the Washington Navy
Yard, F. W. Hicks, secretary of the
local civil service board, wrote the
commission to ascertain Just what
pay boilermakers receive. In an
swering Secretary Hicks' communi
cation John A. Mcllhenny, president
of the United States Civil Service
Commission, said:
"In reply to your letter of April 9
you are Informed that the wage paid
for boilermakers at tho Washington
Navy Yard ranges from $3.52 to
$4.48 for an eight-hour day. Time
and a half Is allowed for all over-1
time. All navy ysrd employees are
granted 30 days' leave of absence
with full pay at the expiration of one
year's satisfactory service and for
every month thereafter they are
granted 2ty days' leave of absence
with full pay.
"It Is not known what the wages
are for boilermakers in Alliance, Ne
braska, but It will be seen from Hie
miiw Just quoted and the conditions
of the employment In the Navy Yard
Service that the rate paid for com
petent workers for this class of work
is as high as is paid to employees
outside the government service.
"The wage paid for all-round ma
chinlsts In the Washington yard Is
from $3.60 to $4.56. In view of t In
urgent need mechanics are employed
at the highest rate of pay, the gov
ernment reserving the right to rc
rate them within ten days In their
shown ability.
"By direction of the Commission.
"Very respectfully,
"J. A. McILHENNY. Pres."
This subject seems to be of par
ticular Interest to a certain class of
Alliance residents. The Commission
has directed Secretary Hicks to as
certain, as far a possible, the local
boilermakers and mechanics who will
accept employment in tho navy yards
at once as well as those who will ac
cept employment In case of emer
gency. Tho names of those who will
work for U&ctt Sum In rase the cnuv
try ii'-i-ds ii en to do this work in
order that the federel ships and BU u-of-war
may be kept In repair are be
ing filed. The locnl rate of pay for
both boilermakers and nn'-ha tiles la
4f cents an hour. Considering aa
eight-hour day, the dally wage would
be $3.60.

Maw.
Eight Months Ago we took the agency for the Crow Elk-hart Automobile. We
purchased 53 cars which were shipped in August-and September. The car was a
good looker and a good seller, but some of our friends claimed the only objection to
the car was we could not get repairs. We advertised giving the strongest guarantee
ever given for any automobile in the state of Nebraska. We guaranteed for six
months to furnish repairs the day order was received or furnish repairs free of charge.
We have sold 48 of these cars up to this date and have never received an order that
was not filled the day received, with the exception of two springs, which were fur
nished free of charge.
We are going to continue to handle the Crow Elk-hart car. They have in
creased their capital one half million dollars, and are among the big factories of the
country, and no guarantee on our part is necessary; however, we will guarantee to
furnish repairs.
This season we have taken the agency for the New Era car, $685 f. o. b. fac-

tory. Some of our friends are more antagonistic over this car than they were over
the Crow Elk-hart. They tell you the factory has gone out of business and it will be
impossible to get any repairs. Now we want to say Just a word regarding the New,
Rra car. This factory was at Jollet, 111., and was taken over by the Elgin Motor Car
Corporation of Chicago, who make the "Elgin Six" and have millions of capital. The
machinery and material were moved from Jollet to the Elgin factory about March 1st.
When in Chicago about January 1st the Elgin Motor Car Corporation made us a pro
position on 75 cars which they were assembling at the Jollet factory, with the under
standing that we accept and pay for all cars by February 1st. We accepted their
proposition and have received the 75 cars.
We did not care to show every prospective buyer our contract with the Elgin
Motor Car Corporation, which contained the price, the discounts, and guarantee as to
repairs. We wrote them about March 1, asking them to advise us what we could
say to buyers regarding repairs, and their reply is shown herewith:
We believe the New Era is the best car on the market today Helling un
der $800.00. The chassis was selected by the Elgin Motor Car Corporation
to be used as a truck; it certainly is a good one. And we know the Elgin
.Motor Co. will furnish repairs, and we make this- proposition We have de
posited $100 in the First State Bank for six months to be paid to the purchas
er of a New Era ear to whom we sell at retail in Alliance who orders repairs
and we fail to furnish them within a reasonable length of time. Link Lowry,
.lames KVcler and .1 I. Nieolai will be the judges as to what a reasonable time
should be, and this money is payable to their order. These men are all relia
ble and responsible and "ill certainly do the fair thing by all. The one con
dition we make is that broken parts and cash for amount of repair accompany
order.
The New Era ear sells tor $7Ii5.00 f, 0, b, Alliance. The sooner you
buy one the sooner vou will have a chance to make $100.
