The principles follow; _J* Every persoo has the right to enent'.r lawful occupation and to atar l nd j T Jdually or collectively into elrhot- a „ wful contract of employment. e, *“ er *■ employer or employe. #hoV iZ °f open-shop operation, | tnat is. the right of employer and cm P oye to determine the conditions of em- ! ployment relations with each other, is an essential part of the individual right of contract possessed by each of the parties **• All men possess the equal right to associate voluntarily for the accomplishment of lawful purposes by lawful means, but such association confers no *i U and must not deny any rtght of, those who do not desire to act or deal with them. 4. Associations or combinations of employers or employes, or both, must be legally responsible for their, conduct and that of their agents. 5. The restriction of productive effort or of output by either einplover or employe for the purpose of creating an artificial scarcity of the product or of labor Is an injury to society. fi. The wage of labor must come out of the produet of industry and must be ! earned and measured by its contribution thereto. It is the duty of management to co-operate with the worker to obtain continuous employment. 7. The number of hours in the work day or week in w hich the maximum output, consistent with the healtn and wellbeing of the individual, can be maintained in a given Industry should be as eertained by careful study and never should be exceeded except In case of emergency, and oue day of rest should be provided. Reduction in working hours below such economic limit, in order to obtain greater leisure for the iudividuai, should be made only with understanding and acceptance of the fact that it Involves a commensurate loss in the earning power of the workers, a limita tion of output and an Increase in the cost of the product. 8. Adequate means, satisfactory both to the employer and his employes, and voluntarily agreed to by them, should be provided for discussiou and adjustment of employment relations. 9 When the employer and his employes do not deal individually, but ijr mutual consent through representatives, representatives should not be chosen or controlled by or represent any outside group or interest. 10. The greatest measure of reward and well-being for both employer and employe and the full social value of their service must be sought In the successful conduct and full development of the particular industrial establishment In which they are associated. 11. While the right of government employes to obtain Just treatment must be safeguarded amply, the community welfare demands that no combination to prevent or Impair th° operation of government or of any government function shall be permitted. 12. The power of regulation and protection exercised by tlie state over the corporation should properly extend to the employes inso f ar as may be necessary to assure unimpaired operation of publicutility grrrlee.

Here is a picture of one of our organization trucks hauling merchandise from the hack door of a jobbing house to the front door of a country merchant. Merchandise handled but twice as against six times handling by the old system of shipping. Railway Officials Favor Motor Transportation for Short Hauls The following oxccrpts from letters of railway officials clearly illustrates the attitude of railway management toward these new forms of transportation as a panacea for transportation ills: Norman Call, Vico President, K. F. * P. R. R. “I believe that the railroads almost without exception, realize the value of mofor transportation as feeders for its main lines.” J. K. Gorman, President. R. I. 4 P. R. R. “There is no question of the value of motor trucks in serving rural communities and l think they can be used to equal advantage in the transfer of freight In large shipping centers." C. 1,. ISardo, General Manager, N. V., X. 11. 4 11. R. R. “I feel sure you will find the railroads co-operating with any properly constructed public body in an effort to reach a complete understanding upon any fulr and equitable basis.” Gerrit Fort, Vice President, B. 4 M. R. R. “We are much Interested in the development of motor truck transportation, in the hope that such development will follow wise and proper economic lines.” H. E. Byram, President, C. M. 4 St. P. R. R. “Fortunately, the conditions under which the motor truck can be operated to the best advantage is in the handling of traffic which is most expensive for the railroads to handle." W. G. Besler, President, C. R. R. of N. J. "There can be no question in the mind of any one concerning the important part that the motor truck has now come to play in the matter of transportation in this country, nor that it has come to stay and to supplement railroad service. Just as the automobile and trolley car have supplemented and extended the radius of suburban life.”

' The Association recently secured the old American Brewing Company's building on West Ohio street, near the canal. The lower floors will be reserved for the handling of incoming and outgoing freight. Because most of the freight handled by the association will be loaded directly on the truck that is to make delivery, there will be no congestion to contend with.

Territory Covered by Transport Service FAYETTE 9koW)Mo\ \\ // | / j \ J |\ I I RICHMOND^! V- O -O I■ ■ -o—o—- —*o I | IJ I W 6 N5 BU R&// \\ BLOOMINGTON COLUMBUS // Immediately, eight routes radiating from Indianapolis have been established routes going out approximately sixty miles on tho west. Terro Haute will be reached ; on the east, Richmond. To the southwest, via Martinsville, u line to Bloomington, leading Into the stone fields. To the south a line to Columbus, via Franklin and another to Greensburg, passing through Shelbyville. There’s u line proposeil to Anderson on to Muncle, then north to Marion, on down to Kokomo and back to Indianapolis, via Tipton and Noblesville. The northwest is reached by two lines, one running to Frankfort and Lafayette and another reaching the rich agricultural urea which leads to Orawfordsville. Here is a truck that contains 115 sacks of wheat. It was loaded and hauled a distance of four miles and unloaded in thirty-eight minutes. Within certain limits truck transportation is speedier and more economical than steam road or trolley service.

The Sun-Beam Lines are officered by men who were trained in the school of experience—who know their problems and how to solve them. Here are the men who are backing their faith in this movement with their skill, time and money: Frank Sliellhouse, president; Royal L. W. McClain, vice-president; C. W. Abraham, treasurer; Tom Snyder, secretary; William S. Frye, William G. Kreis, H. H. Chambers, T. W. Hays and R. H. Muench, directors. These men have formed a motor transport and terminal company because such an organization is needed if Indiana wishes to maintain her supremacy in the field of transportation. Indiana, as a state, saw the efficacy of the motor truck during the war, and used it, used it better than other states. For the inception of the movement all credit must be given to the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce. This association is the outgrowth of the return load movement so ably fostered by the transportation department of the chamber. This particular division was in charge of Mr. Tom Snyder, who recently resigned that offiice to act as secretary of the Indiana Highway Transport and Terminal Association.

* Here is another of our organization trucks making good time on a good road. AYith the government’s appropriation of several million dollars for the making of new roads, together with township and county work now going on, Indiana will soon have a splendid system of highways. Daniel Willard's Opinion of Motor Transports These lines will not strive to compete with the railroad, whose function is the carrying of the long haul. In fact, the railroad officials —men like Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore & Ohio; W. H. Finley, president of the Chicago & Northwestern Railway Company, and dozens of other railroad executives —are commending the motor truck as a transportation agent—a wonderful aid to the railroads. Mr. Willard says: ‘‘l think I realize properly the importance of motor truck transportation, and I believe it to be the best interest of the country as a whole that such transporation be further developed along economic lines. “I think there is a very proper economic field for all agencies of transportation so far developed, and wherever it can be clearly shown that the motor truck can perform the transportation service required at a total economic cost lower than the cost when the railroad is used, then in the public interest, the motor transportation system should be used. The railroads aud the motor truck, have their own sphere of economic usefulness and, in my opinion, it should be a mistake for either one to extend it3 influence and activities beyond the economic limits clearly established.”

TOM SNYDER Man Who Fostered the Motor Transportation Movement Is Secretary. Ir a recent article written by Tom Snyder, he had this to say regarding the association of which he is now secretary: With headquarters lb Indianapolis, the Indiana Highway Transport and Terminal Association. Inc., lias been formed for the purpose of developing a rural motor express and overland transportation system by which all Indiana will be benefited—the man who produces, the man who consumes and the man whose business lies in distribution. Regular service is to be furnished—a service which at first will be daily, biweekly and weekly, hut which will be increased as the business developed requires. TOM SNYDER. Cities and the rural communities along these routes will be able to receive transportation at a cost of approximately the present freight charges. The motor truck service, however, will be obviously superior, for it is done with a maximum of inconvenience and deliveries are mad/ to the exact place of consignment witu the minimum amount of . handling. Refrigerator cars will be carried in the summer time to protect perishables. In tho winter time, through a process of heating the trucks, perishable goods will be protected from the freezing temperature. The benefit of this to the community is large. Isolation and its disadvantages ceased to exist. And without the motor truck, so far as transportation is concerned, how many hustling, healthy communities off the lines of the railroad and the electric lines are isolated?
