The machinists, he maintains, had as liiiich right to meet ns any other as sociation or organization In the city. Mass-meetings, however, will not be tolerated, and, In consequence, the strikers will hold their second meeting tonight at Allentown. A,rrrjirs In Pay Issue The question of back pay due the men under the War Labor Hoard award, noconling to officials of the company, is being adjusted nn rapidly ns possible by the claims office nf the Army Ord nance Ueparttne.it and the War Labor Hoar.!. The matter Is in a snarl, it Is said, and will require mud. cnreful imcstigatiou before It can be straight ened out. The delay in 'paying this money is one of the things that has aroused the ire of the strikers. There Is no excitement at the gates nf the company when the various shifts leave the plant or report for duty. The men are not being Interfered with by the strikers at the plant. Efforts to influence the workers are, for the most part, being confined by the strikers to tnlks with them at their homes.

J.F.Bacasnsa&Cs. 1719 Chestnut St. I SMrxi3is I AIStEaljkEalLJ UT of an experience embracing the manu facturing and sale of over 650,000 automobiles, John N. Willys saw the great need of an absolutely new type of car to fill a vast and unoc cupied field. Experience has proved the efficiency for automobile purposes of the six cylinder unit motor. Engineering and manufacturing restrictions have placed a price upon six cylinder cars which have de nied them to thousands of people. Expense of upkeep has placed a further barrier against popular ownership. New principles of construc tion, and new achievements in manufacturing have now over come these obstacles. The new car will make own ership of an attractive.efficient Six a reality to many thousands of families and individuals. The New Six has demon strated its efficiency, econ omy and slow depreciation. For more than two years the mechanical details of this car have been proved out under exacting and grilling road test conditions, covering over 200,000 miles and embracing all manners of loads, road beds and weathers. The weight of the car is approximately 2,100 pounds which, with new efficiency of the engine, produce out standing economies of gaso line, oil and tires. On re peated and continuous tests it has maintained from 17 to 20 miles per gallon of gasoline. A new principle of spring suspension gives the new Six the riding ease of a car with 142 inch wheel base while the actual wheel base is only 112 inches,. . The new spring suspension also prevents side swaying and enables the wheels to "hug the road bed" a great factor for safety and easy riding. These easy riding, easy hand ling qualities will also greatly prolong the usefulness of the new car and reduce upkeep. Advanced principles of con struction, here only hinted at, effect many economies of manufacture. Production in great quantities will further reduce cost of manufacture of this economic light weight Six. In addition to the manufac ture of the new Six, the Willys Corporation embraces the ElectritfAuto-Lite business, in cluding.the Willys Light farm and house lighting business and the New Process Gear business. The Electric Auto-Lite is, in itself, one of the great in dustries bf the country. The i plant is at Toledo, O. It builds ele.ctric starting and lighting systems, More than 1,400,000 sets have been sold. Orders and specifications are on hand for 4,000 outfits per day. The size of the field occupied by the Willys Light farm and country home electric light ing systems, operated by the Willys Knight motor, may be indicated by the fact that more than 20,000 of these units were ordered during the month of August alone. The FIAT plant at Poughkeepsie, N. Y., is utilized by the Auto-Lite unit of the company. The New Process .Gear busi ness is another great industry, occupying a large plant at Syracuse, N. Y. Many types of gears for automobile trans mission and differentials are manufactured. The' corpora tion is or, of the largest manufacturers of gears in the country. All of these plants are sources of supplies fsr the new car, production. The Duesenberg plant at Elizabeth, N. J., is one of the best equipped motor manu facturing plants in the country and was greatly enlarged for the production of motors for war purposes. The plant is being enlarged to many times its former capacity to meet needs of production in quan tities of the New Six. Anyone desiring further in formation about the plans and the new car program of the Willys Corporation should write for our booklet. The Willys Corporation 52 Vanderbilt Ave., New York N. B. This is one of a series of advertisements to acquaint the public, automobile trade and buyers of motor cars in general of the present scope and importaoLplans of tha Willys Corporation.
