THE REAL FORD STARTER
This New Shaft Drive Genemotor
is the Last Word in
STARTERS for FORDs
One yeat ago the Genemotor was born. In ninety days it
dominated the field. Eight months later it won the Gold Medal
at the Panama-Pacific Exposition.
Now comes a New Genemotor—with SHAFT DRIVE that
makes an engineering advance comparable with that from the
single cylinder to the twin six. It bears the same relation to
a chain drive starter that a modern shaft driven car does to a
chain driven vehicle of the year 1900.
NO CHAIN BREAKAGE. NO NOISE. NO HOT ENG-
INE. The price of the Shaft Drive Genemotor is $8.r>.00 f.o.b.
Lynn Mass. It is possible to buy cheaper starters for Fords.
They are numberless, Some start by compressed air. Others
by spring. And so on. If it were possible to develop a good
air starter or a good spring starter they would de on every
American made car. For they are cheaper to build. But you
can scan the catalog of one hundred cars and everv one will
give you the same answer to the starter question: The starter
must be electrical.
There i§ only one sure kind of a starter, and it is an elec-
tric starter, and there is only one sure starter for Fords and
that is the New Shaft Drive Genemotor.
Once installed it need never be adjusted again.
PRICE INSTALLED $98.50

RAILROAD
WAGES
Shall they be determined by
Industrial Warfare or
Federal Inquiry?
To the American Public:
Do you believe in arbitration or indus-
trial warfare?
The train employes on all the railroads
are voting whether they will give their leaders
authority to tie up the commerce of the
country to enforce their demands for a 100
million dollar wage increase.
The railroads are in the public service—
your service. This army of employes is in
the public service—your service.
You pay for rail transportation 3 billion
dollars a year, and 44 cents out of every
dollar from you goes to the employes.
On ill the Western railroads in 1915, seventy-five per cent of the
\ train employes earned these wages (lowest, highest and average
of all) as shown by the pay rolls—
Passenger Freight
Yard
Engineers.
Conductors
Fire.

The average yearly wage payments to all Western train em-
ployes (including those who worked only part of the year) as
shown by the 1915 payrolls were—
Pa* «ng«r Freight Yard
Engineers $2038 $1737 $1218
Conductors 1772 1624 1292
Firemen .••••• 1218 973 832
Brakemen 321 1000 1026
A 100 million dollar wage increase for
men in freight and yard service (less than
one-hfth of all employes) is equal to a 5 per
cent advance in all freight rates.
The managers of the railroads, as trustees
for the public, have no right to place this
burden on the cost of transportation to you
without a clear mandate from a public tri-
bunal speaking for you.
The railroads have proposed the settle-
ment of this controversy either under the
existing national arbitration law, or by refer-
ence to the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion. This offer has been refused by the
employes' representatives.
Shall a nation-wide strike or an
investigation under the Gov-
ernment determine this issue?
