COOPERATION HELD /Henry M. Leland, One of Greats in Automotive History, Is Active at 88 UNEMPLOYMENT CURE Labor Leader Says Capital and Workers Should Unite to Restore Prosperity * Cooperation of organized labor and capital is the only solution of the t world economic problem of loyment, James E. Hobrecker, lecturer appearing under the auspices of the Bismarck Trades and Labor as- sembly, said Sunday in his address at the Rialto theatre. Stressing the importance of or- ganization to efficiency, ba ned Jauded efforts to organize the farm- ers of North Dakota. He said, “The farmers of this coun- try, represent the majority of the vot- ers. Their condition is worse than that of the city people. The reason for it is unorganization. The indi- vidual, as an individual, is a small factor but as a unit of an organiza- tion his efforts are multiplied by the work of his affiliated members.” Hobrecker stated that the world is in a machine age that will grow more complicated with time. He gave as his remedies to help the present economic situation the use of shorter working hours, allowing more people to work; and the development of a higher wage scale. “A low wage scale in any town means destitution, a high wage means resurrection. The laboring man of today is the fellow who works the hardest, gets the hungriest and consumes the most. The present worker does not want charity. He wants an opportunity for work,” Ho- brecker declared. Hobrecker pleaded that the citizens ct North Dakota use North Dakota labor and talent in the erection of a new capitol building. He flayefl the state authorities for the use of con- vict labor in clearing away the debris of the burned capitol. S. 8. McDonald, member of the Bismarck Trades and Labor Assem- bly, presided at the meeting. He asked that the people of Bismarck assist in circulating a petition re- quiring the legislature to insert in the appropriation bill a clause that the construction of the new state capitol be performed by North Dako- ta labor.

Leland made a fighting comeback, however, after the Lincoln company had been taken over at a receiver's sale by Henry Ford. A bitter fight, still in progress, between Leland {Ry and his old friend, Ford, resulted from the latter's purchase of fhe Lincoln properties, Leland claimed Ford agreed to reimburse certain stockholders when the property was taken over. It was as head of the Cadillac Motor Car company, which he founded in 1902, that Henry: Le+ land introduced storage battery ignition, electric lighting, electric starting and thermostatic control of engine temperatures. - Today he still is thinking of improve- ments that canbe made in auto- mobile engines and other moving parts @f the vehicle whose future he foresaw when most people scoffed at the “contraption” some of them called “the invention of the devil.” Henry Leland expects to see many more developments in au- tomotives before his career ends, for his mind even at four-score and eight years looks to the fu- ture as much as it does to a fruitful past. But whatever the future may bring, the name of Henry Martyn Leland will find its place alongside those of Ap- person, Benz, Buick, Daimler, Duryea, Ford, Haynes, Selden, Stearns, Winton, and the host of others that belong’ among the immortals of automotive history. athe principle is like standing a andle on a table and setting up on opposite sides two lenscs each of which magnifies the light on its own light is used, concentrated in two beams in opposite, directions, one side projecting a white beam {and the other a red or green An inner lens on one side will give the color.
