The truck that will transport mérica’s army supplies is at work.

It is the heavi- est of the quartermaster trucks. It has a four-cylinder engine and is capable of carrying from three to five tons. era P ) Instead of Waiting for railroad transportation, the artermaster General’is detailing officers and men to: drive the trucks overland. There are Ses reasons 165 at iOne is, that it saves hadly needed cargo space on the ree the other is that the army officers are not only making a test of the trucks but a teat, of the men who drive them. \Zrucks Travel in Fleets. f The trucks travel in fleets, now Wending their way over different arteries.of traffic. The first test run was from Lima, Ohio to Baltimore, Maryland, under the supervision of men from Camps Meade and Devens, who brought twenty trucks across the country without a hitch. Not one man in the detachment had even seen cne of the trucks until called on to drive it... The otficer observers who accompanied the men gave no instructions. Their idea was to sec how_a detachment of soldiers would handle‘the trucks when delivered in France.” Another ficet'is now on its ‘way from: Chicago to Camp “Doda, " This fleet is made up of six- ~? ruck B’s Tremendous Power. ‘tremendous power of. the new ‘trucks, army officers say, was shown iby the fact that no hill was reached ich they could not climb on K 2 Only ey say, was ee gear. resorted to and that was &. notorious mudhole near East Q There, the. first : if through on low $ waa fonnd that they i easily on “low”, the ers followed on “second.” In jing mountains, high gear was ‘except in rounding turns where Pinte entise trp dgwn for safety, ie - ent ip approxim: y Pete eed at E e urs and a fraction, # Y Tee was Sie tailed (a ten, | brueks traveled lat a iral miles, a day, the running Olibeing ‘abobt seven’ tiles’ we By J48 Motor Companies.

After a few hours delay commission men them-} ; Selves began handling the stock pens. As stock receipts were light the commission men said they probably could keep business moving for the. day without serious delay. The men out were employes of the union stocks and transit company, whose principal business ig to get the incoming livestock unloaded daily from the cars and into the yard pens, where buying and selling begins. The Walkout left only the superin- ;.tendents and assistant superintendents Jat work. The strikers are not pack- jing housé employes and hence were not included in the recent advances awarded by arbitration. The yard em- jDloyes asks $15 a month increase. A strike of71,500 members of the stock handters’ union which tied the livestock business at the stock yards today was expected to serve as the signal for similar walkouts. in the yards of other cities, according to, J. W. Johnson, chairman of the organiz- ing committee of the stock yards la- bor council. a A committee of the men met with Harry A. Wheelock, Illinois food \ad- ministrator, immediately after, the strike. Mr. Johnson plaged immediate res- ponsibility for the trouble upon Gen- eral Manager Leonard of the Union Stock Yards and Transit Company. “After Judge A. L. Schular, arbit- rator, had -given the packing house employes practically all« they asked stock, handlers union went to Mr. Lo- ifard and asked that similar conces- sions, including an.advance in wares dating from January 1, be given: the men of his company. This Mr. Lo- |fard refused. He also refused to ar- | bitrate. “Similar negotiations and, I under- stand similar rebuffs, have been met by the-ynipns of, other stock yards in the west and expect that the walk out here will serve as a signal for further strikes.” BERTHOLD.

A fund is to be accumu- lated by assessing all banks coming their average daily deposits until $100,- 000 has been accymulated. The am- ounts so assessed remain with the state banks, forming merely a book credit for the guaranty commission. Any losses sustained by . depositors through bank failures. will “be paid out of this fund. Bank failures have been rare in recent years, and no heavy drain is anticipated. Sxaminer Waters has called in his entire special staff of deputies who have been engaged for several months past in investigating state banks, and they will report as to the condition of institutions applying for admission. The guaranty act was passed by the 15 th assembly in 1917, but no appro- priation was made for carrying it into effect. The special, session last.
