The directors have voted unanimously to consolidate the com- panies, John .1. Topping, chairman of Republic, announced. Rumors were current in Wall| street several days ago that the Trumbull and other companies would be absorbed by the Youngs- town Sheet and Tube | company. | Today it was rumored that the, Inland and Otis Steel companies, | mentioned in connection with the| Youngstown Shect and Tube rum- ors, might eventually be b-ought into the Republic-Trumbull combi- nation. 188,000,000 Total Assets The Republic-Trumbull consolida- tion will have total assets of $188, 000,000, and if the further combin: tions were carried through a $231,- 000,000 corporation would be the result. Terms of the merger provide for an exchange of stock by which shareholders of Trumbull will re- ceive one and two-thirds shares of Republic common for each share of Trumbull preferred, and one-fifth of a share of Republic common for each share of Trumbull common.

Rail Firemen Await Decision of Board Chicago, Nov. 26,—()—Thirty thousand firemen on western _rail- roads await an arbitration board decision to see whether their pay} checks will be increased by $1 a day. After the 55 systems comprising the Association of Western Rail- roads had refused the request of-the Brotherbpod of Locomotive Fire- men and Enginemen for the in- crease, the plea went to a federal arbitration board which completed a hearing in Chicago Nov. 11. decision is looked for November 28, when the board reassembles at Den- ver. | Conditions Changed Both sides cited changed economic conditions in presenting their argu- ments. roads claimed the fire- men were adequately paid and that the carriers ware not able to add to their payrolls annually the $7,500,- 000 to $10,000,000 necessary to meet. the increase asked. Shrinking agricultural markets and rising overhead costs officials of the carriers asserted, have com- - bined ta make it difficult to keep large tcansportation systems carn- ing a fair return on the capital in- vestment. A number of firemen testified that promotion to engineer was slow and their wages insufficient to maintain the accepted standard of living. They contended that heavier engines made heavier trains and fewer of them, reducing the num- ber of engineers required and there- fore the number of possibilities for romotion. op Donald R.

Winter Described by Chrysler Men At this season the prudent motor- ist, taking time by the forelock, is beginning to consider approaching changes in driving conditions and is planning how best to put his car in order for winter months, Chrysler service expevts, follow- ing the Chrysler policy of assuring to owners the fullest possible enjoy- ment of their cars throughout the year, have outlined a program of preparation. They advise motorists to make use of service station facil- ities, wherever possible. But as of owners who prefer to condition their own cars for the winter, these suggestions will be read with profit by many, The first step advised is to re- move from the oil pan any accum- ulated sludge and to refill the pan with fresh oil, taking care that it is of good quality. Frequent changes of oil afterward, in con- junction with proper adjustment of crankcase ventilator, will continue to safeguard oil circulation. Next, the chassis should he com- pletely lubricated and the oil changed in the transmission and differential." The generator should be thoroughly inspected and cleaned and any worn parts replaced. With this done and the battery checked and recharged the clectrical sysiem| will have plenty of “punch.” The starting motor should be re- moved and cleaned, and worn parts, if any replaced. Cleaning the start- er driving mechanism is stressed as being of particular importance, both on the starter and the gear of the flywheel, as accumulated oil gets the union, assailed statements of and investments submitted to,the interstate commerce commis- sion by the roads.

Connecting cable terminals of the entire electrical system should be cleaned and those at the battery, generator, starting motor, staxting switch and ground greased to pre-} vent corroding.

It facilitates starting in cold weather, prevents excessive drain on the battery due to long spinning of the starting motor, and prevents dilution usually brought about by excessive use of the chok- ing mechanism. “And I would like to suggest.to owners,” said Mr. Sandin, “that they use only denatured alcohol solutions in the radiator. Most any garage can test the radiator solu- ticn as to the temperature it will stand. -Care must be taken to test the solution often, however, for the aleohol evaporates rapidly. “The alcoholic solution should be! thoroughly mixed before pouring! into the yadiator, or the motor should be run for a while after pouring alcohol into the radiator, and before going out into the cold.’ Unless this is done, the lower part of the radiator may freeze, and the alcohol on top boil away. If, through some. neglect, the water cooling system has frozen, do not attempt to thaw it out by starting the engine, but remove the car té a warm place and allow it to thaw out. gradually,” ; | Dr. Enge Chiropractor Drugless Physician Lucas Blk. .
