Moore Charges Com- pany Took Weekly Payment Plan From Him. By the Associated Prees. NEW YORK, September 5.—Edward G. Moore today filed suit against the | Ford Motor Company, alleging that it was “deliberately and consciously in- fringing and unlawfully converting to its own use,” his weekly payment plan for purchasing automobiles. Moore alleged that the Ford com- pany used his plan without authori- zation from him and asked for an in- junction to cease the unauthorizdd use {of the scheme, as well as a full ac- {counting of all profits received. | Says He Revealed Plan. | The complaint alleges that Moore {asked for an interview with Mr. Ford \for the purpose of revealing to him |the Moore plan in detail. Moore | stated he received a letter from the| |Ford Motor Compan: ales depart ! ment October 18, 19 king him to detail his plan and promising to give the matter careful attention. Moore sald he gave the details of his plan |in a letter dated October 25, 192 The complaint says that in a letter dated October 31, 1 the sales de- partment of the company wrote Moore that ‘“we would not be inter- ested in the proposition, at least not at the present time.” The complaint charges company, having obtained po the plan, “without acquirin rights to it or to copy or to use it, thereafter unlawfully and without the {consent or authority of plaintiff, and | without any payment to the plaintiff | thereof,” appropriated the plan and used it'in its business. Claims Ford Name Used. The plan was advertised through out the world as “the Ford plan" or the “Ford weekly purchase plan,” the complaint sets forth, and charges that such edvertisements were ‘piratical publications to the public of the plain- tff’s plan.” Moore's complaint said that when he learned of the Ford plan he tele- graphed Edsel Ford, the manufac- turer's son, and a motor company, expressing his surprise and al: | wrote a letter of protest. In the sub- |sequent correspondence, according to the complaint, W. A. Ryan, sales | manager for the Ford company, wrote |Moore a letter stating that ‘“‘we are unable to locate your letter outlining the plan which we understand was re- turned to you without a copy being made,” Mr. Ryap sald in his letter that Moore's plan was not discussed | with him.

The Federal Surety Co. and the Loreberry Coal Mining Co. were sued yesterday in the District Supreme Court by Brooks, Smith & Coane, Ltd., for $22,383.79 damages for alleged breach of contract.

While production of dves decreased to considerable extent in this country in 1924, the United States Tariff Com mission reported tonight that Amer ican manufacturers had made great improvements in their product, pro- ducing dyes of fastness never before attained in the domestic product. The commission’s report, made pub- lic last night, attributed the produc- tion decline, amounting to 27 per cent 923 to 1924, chiefly to decreased mestic textile mills. The dye production by 78 placed at 000, against pounds for the preced ing year. Sales of these dyes in 1924 totaled approximately 65,000,000 pounds, valued at $35,012,400. The notable progress made in the manufacture of many valuable dyes of high degree of fastness, the re port stated, resulted in more than 60 dyes_ being manufactured in 1924 which were not produced the year be- fore. Manufacturers spent more than $2,000,000 during the year in research work, it related, suggesting, this per haps was more than was expended in any other industrial field for such pur- ve imports in 1924 totaled 3,022,539 pounds, valued at $2,908,778, a slight decrease for the year. Fifty per cent of the imported dyes came from G many and 30 per cent from Switz land. Dye exports for 1924 showed a 12 per cent decrease in quantity from the 1923 fizure, the 1924 total being 3428 pounds. The value, how- showed a slight Increase. The commission observed that since the war broke Germany's monopoly of the dye trade the world’s produc- tion capacity had almost doubled and an era of competition had set in which presaged elimination of many existing plants. Having suffered a great loss in dye trade in recent years, however, th® report said that there was little doubt of Germany's determination to recover as large part as possible of her lost markets, the measures taken by other countries to protect their dye industries already having resulted in consolidations, price re ductions and other steps in that direc- tion by German producers.

But for the most part it has been in recent years the party of protest. A very prominent New York Demo- crat told me today that he considered { the Republican party in New York city occupled the same relative posi- tion to the Democratic party of this city that the Democratic natipnal party occupies today with regard to the Republican national party, the position of an obstructionist, merely. Democrats outside of New York will such & characterization of their party, no doubt. There is not the slightest doubt but what the people of New York want more subways, better service and a retention of the 5-cent fare. Profit in Subways. The situation, so far as the traction companies are concerned, is briefly this: They are losing money on the surface and “L" lines, which they own and operate, and are making money on the subways, which the city of New York built and leases to them. The advocates of the reten tion of the 5-cent fare demand what right or justice would lie in permit- ting the companies to increase the fare on the subways, which are money-making institutions and owned by the city, merely to pay the inter- est on the surface and “L” lines, which are owned by the companies. _ The 5-cent fare in New York Cit is intimately connected with the sub. ways. The 5-cent fare was first made mandatory by the dual subway con- tracts of 1913, 12 years ago, under which the traction companies obtain ed the use of the subways, but with the condition that fares in New York City on all the lines be continued at 5 cents. The prices of everything used by the street railways, including labor, "have increased greatly since 1913, the companies claim, and they are entitled to raise the fares as they were raised in Washington and in cities throughout the country during this period. Furthermore, the com- panies are strongly opposed to the proposed operation by the city of the new subways now under construction or_planned. For some time there has been a {fight &s to where the control of New York City’s traction lines and sub- ways should lie—in Albany or New York City, The city has already expended more than $300,000,000 in the construction and equipment of its subways, but the control of these subways Is actually in the hands of the so-called State transit commission created by the Legislature three or four years ago. The charge is made by Mayor Hylan and his friends. that this commission is friendly to the traction companies; that it has not ordered improvements in service which it should have done, and that the people cannot expect re lief from it. It was not until July 1924, when the board of transportation was established, that the city itself had any power to determine routes for mew subways and construct them. Since then Mayor Hylan and his ad: ministration have planned a new sub- way system and contracts have been let and construction begun on part of the system. One of the criticisms leveled against the Hylan administration is that the annual budget has increased from about §210,000,000 to more than $400.- 000,000, with a consequent increase in taxation. Mr. Waterman, the Repub- lican candidate, proposes to reduce this annual budget through more effi- cient business management, and so bring about a reduction in’the city taxes. He insists that the business people of the city have been aroused by the heavy expenditures and heavy taxation. A budget of $400,000,000 ran the Government of the United States, in- cluding the Army and Navy, not so very many years ago. It is a vast sum. But New York is a vast city and what affects it really affects th country at large in a measure. The city today has a population of more than 6,000,000, which is greater than the population of any of the States, with the exception of Pennsylvania and Illinois, and is many times the population of some States. The ex- tent of the city and its tremendous problems of government are indicated in the claims made by Mayor Hylan as a The origin of Labor day dates back to less than half a century ago—43 years, to be exact. Originally pro- posed as a day to emphasize the in- dustrial phase of American life, it has been accepted by every State in the Union as one of the five great legal holidays, ranking in this respect with New Year, Washington" Birthday, Independence Day and Christmas. Labor day had its inception in the New York Central Labor Union in May, 1882, according to historicil ree- ords’in the American Antiqua So- ciety, at Worcester, Mass, whose aim is to assemble accurate data upon mat- t pertaining to the growth of America. At that time P. J. McGuire, a vice president of the union and a member of the old Knights of Labor, proposed that there should be a holl- day to typify the “spirit of labor.” There were holidays representing the religious, civil and military spirit, he contended, but nothing to represent the eat vital industrial force of the Nation.” Appealed to Wage Karners. The idea was at once taken up, & the Central Labor Union adopted resolutios ers in New York, “irrespective of sex, calling or nationality,” to observe the first Monday in September as a holi- day, during which there would be ¥ through the streets .of N. York as a public tribute to American industry. The -sentiment was e pressed in passing the resolution that Labor day be observed from year to year “until it should be as unco for a man to work on Labor da on Independence da: Labor day fell on September 1882, and files of New York new pers of the day following show an a tive response to the effort of the Cen- tral Labor Union to make it an out- standing industrial observance. Some 40,000 or more workers participate in a parade, featured with picturesque displays, one being a printing press on a truck, which ran off prospectuses enunciating the idea of a newspaper for workingmen. Banners carried by marching columns displayed such sl ans as_“The Eight-Hour Day “Labor Must Use the Ballot.” After the try-out in New York, the a as SEPTEMBER 6, * 1925—PART 'LABOR DAY WILL CELEBRATE ITS 43d BIRTHDAY TOMORROW ‘Youngest of American National Holidays Was First { Observed in New York in 1882, When Knights of Labor Staged Parade of 40,000 Workers caliing upon all wage earn- | aj o | 13 Labor day idea grew.

The amount apr: priated for school construction since 1918 was $160,000,000. And in addition $30,000,000 was expended for repairs | of old buildings. The police force is a_veritable army, with more than 13,000 men. A system of terminal markets, to help reduce the cost of living, is being built at a cost of $22.- 500,000. These are merely examples of the huge scale on which New York is constructed and run, with its pop- ulation equal in numbers to that of Austria of today. One of Mayor Hylan's lines of at- tack upon Tammany and Gov. Smith is that his own defeat will mean throwing the city over to the “gam- blers” and to an orgy of crime. He claims that in his administration more has been done to wipe out organized vice and gambling than was done by the so-called “reform” administrations which preceded his. He gives figures to show there has been a decrease of fore than 33 per cent in the four ma- jor crimes—murder, felonious assault, assault and robbery and burglary. In 1917 these crimes totaled 13,141, and in 1924, 8,548. In all this mudslinging—on both sides—it must be remembered that four years ago Gov. Smith and Tammany were great friends of Mayor Hylan and Mayor Hylan was a great triend of Gov. Smith and the Demo- cratic organization of the Borough of Manhattan. It makes it rather difi- cult to take some of the criticisms seriously. Mayor Hylan was elected four years ago by a majority of 417,000, Even with a potentjal vote of 1,500,000, should the voters get out in the same proportion as they did in the last election for governor, which was also a presidential election, there must be a tremendous turn over to defeat Hylan. It is true he has against him all the metropolitan daily newspapers except those owned by Mr. Hearst. But he had the same op- position from the press in his earlier elections. The Hylan meetings are being attended by thousands of people, and the same is true of the meetings at which Walker and Gov. Smith speak. Outside of New York Tam- many is considered synonymous with the Democratic organization of New York City. As a matter of fact Tam- many is the Democratic organization in just one of the five boroughs which now make up the greater city— Manhattan. The other boroughs are the Bronx, Brooklyn, Richmond and Queens. In the old days Manhattan was the great center of population. { But the other boroughs are growing by leaps and bounds. The population of Brooklyn is up with that of Man | hattan, but so compact and well or | ganized is Tammany that it still con trols to a very great exter | has always heretofore been : | ment between Tammany and the other borough leaders. When it set out to “get” the mayor, in the opinion of many, his fate was sealed. The mayor has his own or- ganization at the City Hall, built up in his two terms of service. He has, too, the support of Mr. Hearst, which is a sword that cuts two ways. There | are many Democrats in Brooklyn, for example, who are friendly to Mr. Hylan, but who do not like the idea of supporting Mr. Hearst against Gov Smith and Tammany. They are be- ginning to say so. On the other hand, so bitter is the fight becoming that rumors are everywhere to the effect that if Hylan is defeated for the nomination Hearst will seek to put an independent ticket in the field, with Hylan or another at its head. The Hearst-Hylan faction made tactical mistake when Mr. Hearst came out in a direct attack upon Gov. mith during the last week. The act that Hearst and Smith were the real issues in the campalgn was more or less generally understood. But the Hearst attack on Smith gave the governor an opportunity to turn loose a smashing counter attack in the open. The failure of the mayor to| make a definite statement that he would abide by the decision of the Democratic primary and support the candidate nominated also is having a bad impression. Nor has the state- ment now made by Mr. Hearst that he is an ‘independent” -and not a Democrat helped the candidacy of Mr. Hylan. ‘Walker is the candidate of the Demo- cratic organization of Manhattan and the “Bronx, and Hylan of the Derio- cratic organization of Brooklyn, Queens and Richmond boroughs. Vot- ing strength of the enrolled Democrats of Manhattan and the Bronx is about 10,000 or 11,000 greater than that of the other three boroughs. So far it appears the political strategy of the Smith-Walker-Tam- many faction has been the keener. The one mistake chargeable to it so far is the dragging in of the Klan issue by the governor in connection with Hylan. With only nine days left be- fore the primary election, the sighs point to a victory Smith and Walker. e et —————— REN YOUR PIAND WIORCHS mo 6 &ST. 1879 SESEENEEEANEN | tinental journey to C: {J. M.
