We Never Shut
Down
Live stock keeps coming to market
and we have to keep buying it and
putting it through our plants whether
conditions are good or poor.
Swift & Company has no control
over the quantity of live stock shipped
to market. Live-stock producers ship
their animals to the big stock-yards
markets, wherethey are sold through
commission men who represent the
shippers.
The result is that the live-stock
supply fluctuates from week to week.
We have to buy the animals, how
ever many or few there are; and they
have to be handled without delay.
We cannot hold dressed beef, lamb,
mutton, veal, fresh pork, or any other
fresh perishable meats, but have to
sell them at the prevailing market
prices within a few days. If we try
to sell at half a cent under the
prevailing prices, retailers would
naturally buy from us as long as our
supply lasted, and that supply would
be used up very quickly. On the
other hand, if we try to sell for half
a cent higher than the market prices,
the retailers, who shop around, would
buy from our competitors and we
would have our fresh meat left on
our hands. We have to sell our
products every day at prevailing
market prices whatever those prices
may be.
Half a cent up or down in the
wholesale price means the difference
between profit and loss to us.

ON RACE EQUALITY

Negotiations With America

U.S. MILITARISM DENOUNCED
By the Associated Press
Toklo, Sept. 22. Tho Japanese Gov
ernment, ns a result of yesterday's
meeting of tho cabinet will, In tho first
place, vigorously pursue the negotia
tions concerning American nntl-.Tnp-ancsc
legislation, and, in the second
placo will push firmly the question of
racial equality In tho League of Nations
conference, nccbrdtng to tho Ilochl
Shlmbun today. These decisions will
be considered further nt today's meet
ing of the diplomatic ndvisory council,
'the newspaper says. '
The labor unions, in conference here
today, adopted resolutions pledging
'harmonious co-operation, with the
Japanese laborers of California in their
insistence upon their lawful rights.
The resolutions were cabled to the Cali
fornia labor associations.
At a public meeting in tho Y. M.
C. A. hall hero today, Heprcsentatlve
Kodamn spoke on the subject "An
American Japanese War." He de
nounced American militarism, saying
that ns long as a thrcntenlng nation
existed beyond the Pacific, Japanese
naval expansion cannot be dispensed
with.
A graduate of Columbia University.
New York, M. Osako, who followed
Representative Kodamo, attributed the
antl-.TapaneKO sentiment in the United
States to racial differences. He de
clared that the whites were oppressing
the colored races, backed by the pouei
and Influence of civilization. Japan
was the only country strongly oppos
ing white oppression, M. Osnko as
serted, nnd therefore had incurred tho
hatred of the Americans. Tho Japan
ese, ho added, must strongly bo deter
mined to meet nny serious consequences
following the serious untl-Japancse
movement prevailing Jn America.

Henry M. Leland9 s own Story of
the new Leland-built Lincoln
Car
A FTER the armistice was signed and the
u Lincoln Motor Co. was completing its
-A- contracts with the government for the
production of Liberty Aircraft Motors, we called
a conference of our engineering force. The prin
cipal members of this force are the same men who
have been among the leaders in the development
of Leland-built cars during the past twenty years.
We have always been strong advocates of the
conference idea. Nothing of vital importance,
particularly to car owners, is left to the judgment
of one man, no matter how competent he maybe.
"Boys" I said I still call them boys because
most of them were not much more than that when
they first came with us some 20 years or more ago.
"Boys, you have been telling us of your ideas
and we are ready for you to go ahead with them.
"You know our ideas as to quality, ruggedncss
and stability. You have an opportunity now
such as you have never had before, to make a
thoroughly roadable car, a car that will not only
go anywhere but that will go there with ease to
the driver and vith comfort to the passengers;
a car with which it will not be so necessary to
pick out only the good roads, a car that will cn
r able people to travel unfrequented highways and
to go places they have not been able comfortably
to go heretofore.
"Do the job as you have always been accus
tomed to doing, only do it better. After the
experimental cars are finished, we want to figure
on at least a year to prove them out, so as to leave
no shortcoming for the car owner to discover."
In about six months they had designed several
different types and had actually constructed two
different types. They were both trujy wonderful
cars, but we adopted the better of the two. Four
engines were built; three of them w;ere installed
in chasscs and the fourth was assigned for testing
on the dynamometer. That was about a year ago.
Then followed the refining process and ferret
ing out deficiencies. The cars have been sub
jected to the most severe and the most practical
punishment we could prescribe and have success
fully withstood endurance tests equal to about
five year's service in the hands of the average user.
I believe motorists will agree that the ideal car
should possess primarily, six important virtues
good' appearance, trustworthiness, long-life, pow
er, economy and comfort. The order of their im
portance is largely a matter of individual opinion.
Appearance and Stability
In appearance, the cars are substantial, well
proportioned and graceful. There is nothing ex
treme or overdone in any of the eight body
types just thoroughly dignified; they are car3
such as the best citizens, persons of good judg
tment and refined taste will be proud to own.
Their beauty is a type dictated, not by passing
fancy, but by a desire for permanent attractive
ness. The cars are replete with those many little
conveniences which contribute so much to real
'pleasure and enjoyment.
Those who are familiar with the accomplish
ments of ourengineers and designers men who
have supervised the building of more than
100,000 quality motor cars know the unusual
reputation of those cars for trustworthiness,
stability and long life.
These engineers and designers are still work
ing upon the same principles, but with tne added
advantages of greater resources than ever before,
greater precision in manufacture and more suit
able mcta alloys than heretofore employed.
This in itself would make it reasonable to ex
pect that the new car will possess elements of
Henry M. Leland
President Lincoln Motor Co,
marked stability elements which in themselves
mean true economy over a period of years. And
there is the added assurance that comes from the
long proving-out period through which the car has
been evolved.
Tlie Engine
Our new engine, which embodies a number of
unique and distinctive features, but which can
not well be treated in detail here, I regard as the
most efficient piece of motor car mechanism I
have ever seen. Its piston displacement is 357.8
cubic inches. Its power seems almost limitless;
I can hardly conceive of any call to which this
engine will not respond.
The wheelbase is 130v except of the Limousine
and Tovn Cars of which it is 136". The tires
are 33" x 5" cords.
i Comfort and Performance
In this day of fine cars, it is not easy to imagine
a more enchanting way of abridging distance, but
let me cite my own experience:
Our engineers and experimental drivers had
been telling us what an unusual car they had;
but frankly, I was a little inclined to discount
their enthusiasm.
However, I had occasion to go to Defiance,
Ohio, some 125 miles from Detroit according to
the Blue Book. I thought here would be a good
opportunity to see for myself just what the car
was. There were five of us. The top was up.
We were on a fine stretch with no other ve
hicles or cross-roads in sight, bowling along se
renely at about 40 miles per hour so I judged.
I am constitutionally opposed to speeding, but
my interest and curiosity, I suppose it was, got
the better of me.
"Step on it and let's see what she can do," I
said to Harry, the driver.
"She's doing her best now," he answered.
Doing her best at 40! I was keenly disap
pointed. My hopes were fast fading when Fred
who sat beside tne driver called back;
"Why she's hitting 76 Mr. Leland" and
laughingly, "You know this isn't an airplane
with a Lincoln Liberty motor."
Perhaps I should have known better had I ob
served how swiftly the scenery was passing.
My hopes rose. There that car was running
just as sweetly and with as little fuss and vibra
tion and with as little apparent effort at 76 as it
did at 30 and there was none you could notice
at 30.
Periodic vibration, which is something that
engineers have tried for years to overcome, was
atlast absolutely unapparent to me, at any speed.
There seemed to be an unusual harmonizing of
the various functions. And the car was so steady;
it seemed to hold the road as if it were in a groove.
I might add in passing that this elimination of
the vibration period was not an accidental ac
complishment. On the contrary, it was achieved
only after much research, experimentation and
money outlay.
Elimination of engine vibration, practically to
the zero point, is without question a great stride
toward prolonging the life not only of the engine
itself but of the entire car.
As I said before, I am opposed to speeding, but
when a car is made to possess the many other es
sentials to a real performei' power, acceleration,
facile control, etc.,speed is a natural consequence.
You might call it a by-product, the use of which
is entirely at the option of the driver.
A little further on the trip, we came to another
stretch; it was pretty rough; several miles of
what you might call de-macadamized road. It
was a stretch that ordinarily you would not want
to take faster than at about 15 miles per hour;
but at 41 we were not uncomfortable. The sen
sation was more like sailing in a yacht as com
pared to a canoe on a choppy surface.
There was a most agreeable absence of side
sway and violent bouncing no tendency to
throw the passengers up and about.
From a standstill, the car seemed to get away
with the grace and ease, but with the swiftness of a
thrush, rather than with the flutter of a partridge.
I believe I have ridden in or on almost every
kind of conveyance, from the ox-cart to the air
plane, but even with all my fond hopes and an
ticipations, never did I expect to ride m anything
which comes so near to what I imagine would be
the sensation of flying through space without
mechanical means.
The prices arc based upon the highest class of
materials and workmanship, and upon scientific
and economical manufacturing methods, made
possible by tremendous preparation in labor-saving
machinery, tools and devices plus knowing
how to use them.
While these involve a vast initial expenditure
of time and capital, they lend themselves to mini
mum production cost in large volume. There will
be a legitimate margin of profit -no more. There
will be nothing added just because we anticipate
that motordom will recognize a superior car, nor
because we anticipate that the car will afford a
degree of satisfaction and comfort heretofore
unknown.
I have tried not to be over-enthusiastic, but the
car really is such an innovation that it is not
easy to exercise restraint, and I fed confident that
your own observations of the car and its perform
ance will abundantly confirm my own impressions.
