CARD-ADAMS CO.
GIVES LUNCHEON
AT CLUB ROOMS
Dealers and Bankers Discuss
Outlook for Coming Year
in the AutomoLile
Game.
The Chandler factory is going to
make ever,, possible human effort to
fill all orders for this year if it can
get the Jraterial it expects to get"
So said James M. Dunlap', sales man
ager of the Chandler company, at a
luncheon given Thursday at the Com
mercial club by the Card-Adams Mo
tor company, distributors of Chandler
automobiles and Denby trucks.
Mr. Dunlap, however, freely ad
mitted that it will take extraordinary
effort to do the work, as every in
dication of the last three weeks points
to a much greater spring demand than
.had been anticipated at the beginning
of the year.
Policy of Company.
The speaker mentioned the success
of the Chandler as a fine car at a
medium price, and said that this suc
cess was due to the foresight, cour
age and permanence of the Chandler
organization. It required vision, he
said, to foretell the market for such
-a car; it required courage to adopt
. policy in accord with the vision;
and it required permanence of policy
and permanence of organization to
'get the confidence of the public and
'the dealers.
"If any state in the union gets all
''the Chandler cars it wants, that state
will be Nebraska," Mr. Dunlap said,
: "becauce business conditions here are
good, the future . of the automobile
business is particularly bright in this
state and the company therefore
wants to put every car it can into
; Nebraska this year."
f- . Trucks in Demand.
i M. E; McKenney, from the Denby
truck factory, said his company has
1 taken large war contracts, but it has
'doubled the capacity of its plant, so
:that it enpects to be able not only
to fulfill government contracts, but
to take care in addition of the in
creased demand for commercial
i trucks. Mr., McKenney called, atten
tion to the four Denby sizes, 1,
X 3 and S-ton trucks and particular
ly to the DenbyV adaptability to
::rural work, by reason of its high road
.clearance. "
Good Collateral.
': . W. W." Head of the Omaha Na
tional bank, and President . W. A.
1elleck of the Lincoln State bank,
"both spoke of motor cars in storage
as good collateral for security loans
iirom. banks. .They suggested that,
inasmuch as the supply of motor cars
-.this spring and summer will not equal
"the demand, foresighted dealers will
: use their credit with their banks and
get just as. many cars as possible in
their possession early in the season.
They urgetVthe automobile is a mod
ern day necessity, not a luxury.
Other speakers were Clarke, Jfow
:U, Mr. Patterson of Kearney arid F.
Card of the Card-Adams company.
i.W S. Adorns of the Card-Adams com
pany presided. Chandler and Denby
jdealers from the Card-Adams terri
tory, were present in sufficient, num
ber to fill the south dining room of
the Commercial club.

r Guest at Big Dinner

the Peerless car gave a compliment
ary dinner at his home last night for
George E. Twitmyer, advertising
manager of the Peerless Motor Car
company of Cleveland. Mr. Twit
myer is assisting Mr. Reim in intro
ducing the Peerless in this territory
during the auto show. The factory
representatives and local sales force
for the Peerless were guests.
Mr. Twitmyer spoke briefly on the
Peerless policy and construction ol
the car., He stated that the principal
difference between the Peerless pol
icy and that of other manufacturers

manufacturers first and merchandis
ers second, while this policy was re
versed by most other companies.
Mayor Jim's Chain Letter
Scheme to Sell Thrift Stamps
Mayor Dahlman is one of the five
men to start a national chain letter
in behalf of the war savings stamp
campaign.
C. M. Newman, president of the
Newman Real Estate company of El
Paso, Tex., conceived the idea. Mr.
Newman sent five government thrift
cards, each containing one 25-cent
thrift stamp, to five friends with a re
quest that each repeat the process.
Mr. Newman is a son of E. S. New
man, who owned the famous N-Bar
ranch along the Niobrara river, Ne-
braska. Mayor Dahlman spent the
first five years of his life in this state
on the N-Bar ranch as cowboy and
foreman.

SOLDIERS FROM WAR
FRONT HISS BRYAN
Nebraska Commoner Gives
Uproarious Reception by
Fighting Men at
Toronto.
(By Aiaoetetcd Freta.)
Toronto, March 1. William Jen
nings Bryan was refused a hearing,
when he appeared at Massey hall here
last night, to address a prohibition
meeting under the auspices of the
Dominion alliance.
Returned soldiers caused the dis
turbance by shouting various epi
thets. "What about the Lusitania?'
they also demanded in chorus.
The first disturbance came before
Mr. Bryan's entry, when the chairman
tola the audience they were to be
honored by listening to the fraternal
delegate of the Anti-Saloon league of
America, "one of the foremost citi
zens of our ally.
The chairman refrained from men
tioning Mr. Bryan's name as. long as
he could, but when it came out at last,
it was greeted by a chorus of cat calls
and cries, we don t want him. The
chairman appealed to the audience. It
was not a good thing for the city
what they were doing, he said, and
a bad thing for the cause we repre
sent" . ..
HOOTS FROM GALLERIES.
Then Mr. Bryan came in and pan
demonium broke loose. Most of the
audience stood up, waived handker
chiefs and cheered him, but the ang
wering hoots from the gallery out'
lasted the cheers.
For five minutes Mr. Bryan tried
to make himself heard, but it was no
use. The interruption kept right on
and the interrupters sang, Kule
Britanna." forcinsr the audience to
join in that, and "God Save the King."
iney inquired bdoui ine iusnania,
and sang "Over There" and "We
Won't Go Home Until Morning."
Men stood uo and shook their fists
at the American, ex-secretary ot state.
Soldiers showed the service button
on their coats and shouted defiance
at those who pleaded for a hearing
for the visitor.
Enthusiastic prohibitionists who
wished to hear Mr. Bryan, hurled
across the hall counter calls of put
them out" and "where's your fair
play?" The chairman was heard to
say something about ejecting the in
terrupters. He was greeted with
cries of "who's going to do it?"
Bryan Seated.'
Mr. Bryan took his seat.
John H. Roberts of Montreal,
made an attempt to speak, but was
Then a man of the army, medical
corps dressed in uniform was hoisted
on the platform.
"Boys they are fighting for freedom
at the front; they are. also fighting
for freedom of thought. Why should
we interrupt the meeting?" He ap
pealed to the gallery.
Ine anneal was in vain, "uoa sae
the Kins" was sung again, and the
soldiers in the gallery shouted, "Take
Bryan out, and we will walk out.
We'll let any man speak, but not a
pro-German.
After the bana naa piayea anotner
air, Mr. Bryan made a brief, but fu
tile attemot to make himself heard.
Then he took a chair to the edge of
the platform and talked to the re
porters, the noise never ceasing for
an instant. ' J , , . ;
Cornea By Invitation.
"I am here by invitation," said Mr.
Bryan. I come as the representative
of 25,000,000 of the American people
who have banded themselves : to
gether in various organizations for
the promotion of prohibition. I have
sDoken in one hall tonight before an
audience that gave me not only re
spectful, but enthusiastic attention.
"I nna mat less man a per ccm,
nrobiblv more nearly , less than 2
per cent of this audience refuses to
allow the rest of the audience to hear
me speak. Ordinarily those who in
terrupt a meeting are put out oecause
they refuse an overwhelming major
ity the right to hear. In this case. 1
am not willing that force should -be
used to eject the men from the hall.
I would rather that me meeting
should break up."
"Mv oatriotism is satisfactory to tne
president of the United States. It is
satisfactory to the cabinet of the
United States. It is satisfactory to
the congress of the United States.
There is not a single person in the
United States who can say that one
drop of blood in my veins is not loyal
to my country."
Mr. Bryan told the reporters that
his daughter was married to a British
engineer officer, that one of his grand
sons was a British subject and that
another was in the Navy department
at Washington.
"I sav this " he added, "that you
may know that I do not have to
apologize to anyone."
Mr. Brvan announced his readiness
to stay all night in the hall and try
to talk to the people. He said he
would. have no coercion, however.
"Enough men," he added, "are be
ing injured in our fighting to make
the world safe for democracy, with
out anyone being injured to give me
a hearing." , .
The former secretary of state
spoke for quite a while on the pro
gress of prohibition to those who had
crowded down to the platform, but
it, is doubtful if many of them could
hear him owing to the noise.
His remarks were punctuated by
the gallery spelling out "L-U-S-I-
T-A-N-I-A" yelling. "What about the
Lusitania" and singing, "Hail, Hail.
the Gangs All Here." The meeting
broke up when the audience joined
once more in singing, "God Save the
King."
Mr. Bryan was given an attentive
hearing at the American Metropoli
tan church during the early evening,
the audience offering few interrup
tions. At the conclusion of his ad
dress, Mr. Bryan was greeted with
hearty applause.

on Railroads, From Shops to
Offices, Says Witness at Hearing
Washington, March L-
session of the railroad wage com
mission was held today to hear
Miss Pauline Goldmark, sister-in-law
of Associate Justice Brandeis,
tell of the employment of women on
railroads.
She gave figures to show that
women are being hired in increas
ing numbers for heavy work, her
statement contradicting in some in
stances the testimony of railroad
executives.
Miss Goldmark appeared as rep
resentative of the Consumers'
League of New York and other or
ganizations. Her testimony was
given informally, and will not be
included in the record until she has
incorporated it in a formal state
ment. Do Everything Now.
Women first were employed in
any number by the railroads about
a year ago,' Miss Goldmark said, at
the instance of the railroad war
board. They were put in clerical
positions experimentally, but their
use has been extended until now
they are in the freight yards, sec
tion gangs, shops and roundhouses.
While much of the work is suit
able to them, many occupations in
volve heavy physical strain and
other hazards. Miss Goldmark
doubted the advisability of employ
ing women on section gangs for
work out of doors in all conditions
of weather and without proper at
tention to their physical welfare.
"In order that there shall be no
wasteful use of labor and to reduce
the turnover," she recommended,
"it is important to make an inves
tigation and standardize the work
for which women may be employed

wounding four soldiers. A town be
hind the American lines was shelled,
one. soldier being killed and five
wounded. A dozen shells fell in the
town.
The number of soldiers suffering
from the effects of the recent German
gas attack waa increased today by 20,
bringing the total gas casualties to 80.
The American artillery today ob
literated a mine throwing position
held by the enemy. .
A strong German attack following
a heavy fire ' barrage against the
American trenches in the Chemin Des
Dames sector was repulsed with
losses to the attackers. The well
placed American machine guns sent
streams of bullets into the advancing
enemy, and as the German barrage
fire lifted the American - artillery
quickly laid down a curtail! of fire,
the German! retiring without a single
prisoner.
NO AMERICAN CASUALTIES.
There were no American casualties.
Several ' French soldiers were
wounded during the fighting.
I he Americans stayed in their dug

Lift Heavy Work.
Miss Goldmark declared white
women were lifting weights of as
much as fifty pounds in Work as
drill press operators.
"Are women used in England in
the same occupations, or in harder
work?" asked Secretary Lane, chair
man of the commission.
"They are used in England in the
operation of street railway services,
and also as station agents and in
other work in connection with the
operation of trains and shops," Miss
Goldmark said. She added that the
English were using increasing care
to provide mechanical equipment
for relieving the women from lift
ing heavy weights.
She told of investigating condi
tions at a factory ifl Zanesville. O.,
where many women are employed.
Doing Hard Labor.
"The majority of women at this
- plant," she said, "are engaged at
hard labor, such as loading scrap
iron, sorting scrap iron, wheeling
iron castings in wheel barrows,
etc. The women loading scrap iron
and sorting have no protection from
intense rays of sun or weather.
These women wear overalls and
large brim hats. They hand the iron
up from the ground to others in the
cars, who pile it. The hours are
nine hours a day, 54 hours a week,
with one-half hour for lunch; wages
20 cents an hour, and $1.50 deducted
each month for relief purposes. Men
are given 21 cents an hour for labor

soldier was "gassed." The Germans
made a gas attack also in this sec

One American soldier is dead and
eight are suffering from the effects
of poisonous gas, so far as reported,

the number of casualties to the Amer
