Reliable Vulcanizing The kind that "holds" when the other portions of the fabric have worn away is the only kind of vulcanizing that's worth while. It pays to keep a good tire in repair, and if you have to vulcanize an old tire, insist on the very best work that kind costs you no more, and when you later on "check up," you find many more miles to your credit.

NEW AUTO ORGANIZATION IS FORMED

The .National Automobile Association, a nation-wide organization of automobile clubs and associations, was launched In St. Louis. (May 1920. 1922. following the withdrawal from the convention of the American Automobile Association by clubs and associations representing: 12 states and 243,000 individual members. The states represented in the new movement are Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, New York, Minnesota, Texas, Nebraska, Missoudi, Iowa, Dakota and Wisconsin. The proceedings which led to the inauguration of this movement were

marked "by charges on the floor of

the convention that the old organl

zatlon had .been sold out to the Chicago Motor club, the principal feature of which club is a pro

prietary insurance department.

Protests yere lodged with the committee on credentials of the old

organization against the seating of

72 delegates from the Chicago Mo tor club. Those protests were sign

ed by representatives from several different states. The protests were based on Article III, Section 2 and 3.

which read as follows: ARTICLE III Membership.

Sec. 2. All state associations of clubs or individual members, or of

clubs and individual members

which on Xovennber 1, 191S, were

affiliated with this corporation un

der either form of membership, may

continue sub. affiliations as, long as there is compliance with the Bylaws of the corporation and such state association has enrolled not less than two-thirds of the motor club3 in such state with membership of one hundred or more. Sec. 3. On and after the date of the adoption of these amended Bylaws no state association of clubs or Individual members shall be admitted to membership as such In this corporation. Leaders of the clubs which have formed the new national organization charged that the Constitution and By-laws of the old association were violated in the admission of clubs independently of state association lines. This, it is charged, tends to the breaking down of

legislative effectiveness of state associations and inasmuch as such legislative effectiveness 13 largely based on the observance of state lines as a -unit, the result would be less protection for the automobile owner. For the .protection of the automobile owner's rights and the furtherance of his interests it wasi determined to form a new na tion-vlde federation based on state lines and a two day meeting of clubs in the ntw movement resulted In the formation of a new National Automobile Association. It was charged In the protest that the Chicago Motor club, which is headed by Charles M. Hayes, said to be the personal beneficiary of the insurance department operated with his club, is not affiliated with the Illinois State Automobile Association which was and is'regularly affiliated with the A. A. A. under Article III, Section 2. This provides that where a state pssociation already affiliated as s-uch, such as the

Illinois state organization, holds

the franchico for that state, that

only clubs may be admitted which

come in through that state orsani

zation. It was charged that the admission of the Chicago Motor club was In contravention of the By-laws and the delegates therefore were not admissible from the Chicago Motor club to the convention unless their affiliation had been effected through the state organization an provided in the organic law of the national hody. Those making th protest were not called before the credentials committee reported in favor of seating the protested delegates of the individual' club from Chicago. Motions were regularly made for he rejection of the report of the credentials committee on seat'rg the protested delegates. On all such motions President George C. Diehl permitted the Chicago Mottr club delegates to vote on their own seatIns. It was pointed out by Senator George W. Sieber of Akron that

protested delegates were not per

mitted to vote on their own casi according to article 7, Section 12. which provides as follows:

"No delegate shall be entitled to vote In a contest affecting his own credentials, or those of any other delegate representing his club cr association." The chair ruled, to the contrary of the' quoted By-law. Appeal was ttaken from the decision of the chair and the protested delegates were again permitted to vote on their own case. In the debate which followed it wac pointed out, and not denied by Mr. Hayes, that the Chicago Motor club has crossed the Indiana, line and was soliciting mem'bers and selling insurance in the Stat of Indiana, where there already exists the Hoosler State Automobile Association, affiliated and paid up in the American Automobile Association. The Hoosier State Automobile Association in the territory invaded (by the Chicago Motor clu1 has the written backing and endorsement of practically every business, noon-day and civic organization, mayors, chiefs of police. Judges, voutity commissioners and other public officials In that section of the state invaded by Hayes and his insurance organization. It was not denied by the chair. David Jameson of Pennsylvania, and other speakers on behalf of the Chicago Motor club that to permit the Chicago Motor club delegates to vote on their own protest and their admission to the convention was in violation of the By-laws. Balloting showed 72 protested delegates from Chicago voting on their own case, 25 from St. Louis, and fr6m any and all other sections supporting them a total of 22 votes. Eighty-nine votes were cast against seating the protested delegates.

Excluding the 72 votes of the protested delegates, which the chair permitted to vote on their own case, the result was 89 votes cast against . seating the protested delegates as against 47 .votes cast in favor of seating them. Under the circumstances of the Constitution and By-laws having been violated in the admision of a club in disregard of state association lines and in the permission to vote on their own case the withdrawal from the meeting was effected. In the supplementary meeting of accredited A. A. A. delegates Fred H. Caley was chosen chairman. Following a general discussion of the injustice which had ibeen prac

ticed a committee was appointed to

formulate a plan of action. The fol

lowing were appointed on the com

mittee: Chas. C. Jones, Ohio, (Columbus). N. E. Noblet. Indiana (Indianap-

11s).

Richard H. Lee, Illinois, (Chicago) Henry Paulmon( Illlonis, (Chi

cago).

B. H. Hagerman, Missouri, (Kansas City). Eugene Stuart, Kentucky, (Louisville). H. K, Keltig, Kentucky, (Louisville). Ewing S. Mosely. Texas, (Dallas). G. E. Gillespie. Nebraska, (Lincoln). V. Q. Wlnshl-p, Minnesota, (St. Paul). M. P. Lawler, Missouri, (St. Joseph). A. G. Lupton, Indiana, (Hartford City). "Walter D. Meals, Ohio. (Cleveland). The committee has decided to call a convention of all automobile clubs interested to meet at the Sherman Hotel. Chicago, Monday and Tuesday, June 19 and 20. At this

time the details of organization for the National Automobile Association will be perfected. Assurance is given of representative attendance from many more than the states indicated shove.
