CATERING TO RICH BARS COMPETITION London Press Tells Why American Autos Are Cheaper Than British Cars. London, Aug. 4.—British motorcar manufacturers have catered to the rich, the American to the average man, and that is why the British are not able to compete against the Amer- ican cheap car. This is the conclusion of a writer in the Westminster Gazette, who puts the case in these words: “I foresaw the trouble coming from America, and I knew that we could not hold our own against the enlightened methods of that country unless we made a deter- mined effort to get rid of the effete system which now makes us look ra- ther =illy as an automobile producing country in the eyes of our competitors across the Atlantic. “The British manufacturer’s appeal has been mainly made to the volup- tuary, and he has never serioysly en- deavored to consider the motorecar from the point of view of the million.” The Auto, a journal devoted to motoring, asked editorially this week what will become of the British motor industry after the war. It points out that every day of the war the American manufacturers become stronger and stronger and the Euro- pean weaker and weaker. Protec- tion is suggested as a remedy. To this the Westminster critic replies: “The present trouble has not arisen out of free trade, nor can it be wholly cured by protection. It is up to British firms to assert themselves now by throwing overboard all the wretched traditions which are hold- ing them back—to abandon the use- less practice of producing too many models, of constantly changing them and of selling them naked and bare, as is done in innumerable cases, with- out. tires, without body and without the score of things which they know from experience the user must of ne- cessity have. The British motor car must be made and scld as a complete thing, self contained and equipped as | nearly every American cheap car is/ equipped.” Np American manufacturer of pop- ular priced cars; the writer adds, dreams of consulting the buyer about | the size and shape of the body, the kind of lighting plant or self starter, the question of detachable rims and | the like. The American turns out few styles and saves in cost by dup- lication. that was STRONG ORGANIZATION. The recently organization composed of master masons about the city promises to be a strong one. Al- | ready twelve union master masons have enrolled in the association. Sev- eral matters of vital importance are to be taken up and will be thorcughly investigated. One of them is the matter of where a journeyman mason in the employ of a member of the association will not be allowed to do The mas- ter masons feel that the journeymen whom they are employing are usurp- ing their rights by doing this, and will do all in their power to prevent it. There is a similar association in New Haven and it has proven bene- ficlal to the master masons of the Elm City. The local organization formed and several others shaken up. The train. was bound for'Boston. will hold a meeting on August 16 in LeWitt's hall.
