30. American business men today are facing losses that may total $10,000,000 daily from the strike of British railway men and the threat of transport workers to tie up all operations in the ports of the United Kingdom. This is the value of merchandise now being manufactured and. shipped daily from United States ports. Part of these shipments already have been cut a by the order of the United States Shipping Board cancelling all sailings to ports in England, Ireland and Scotland.

Complete stoppage of all but a Bmall portion of American exports is expected to come before the end of this week if their transport workers strike in sympathy with the railway workers. American commodities now are being sold and shipped to the United Kingdom ports at a rate of nearly $300,000,000 a month or more than ever before, according to Commerce Department reports. American manufacturers farmers, cotton raisers, shippers and exporters will be hard hit by the halting bad housing conditions. The Housing Committee presented the following recommendations to the State Chambers as a solution to the problem. That they should collect all available information and data relative to housing; be willing to pro-vide such information to any community, and assist in preparing a law that is to be presented at the next regular session of the Legislature.

An emphatio appeal' for a close contact between every business interest and the Department of Labor and Industry, which will be a genuine benefit in promoting the welfare of the employer, was made at this session by Commissioner C. B. Connelley, of the Department of Labor and Industry. Mr. Connelley proposed to the delegate a scheme for the rehabilitation of the industrial cripple by working through the Department of Labor and Industry.

This, he said, was of vital import to the employers of the State. Good Roads Talk Lieutenant Governor Beidleman was another speaker and he urged the Chamber members to get behind the movement for better roads in Pennsylvania. The Lieutenant Gov ires Last?

30. The government today apparently was gradually gaining the upper hand in the nation-wide railway strike, which went into effect four days ago. The bus men and tram operators, closing a long session early today, postponed their decision with regard to a sympathy strike. They had planned originally to walk out tonight. Action by the transport workers also has been delayed.

Despite the nation-wide railway blockade, the food ministry has been able thus far to maintain a steady 'movement of foodstuffs Into the be-lleaguered cities, thus countering la-Ibor'fl first major blow and virtually 'removing the danger of starvation. London, It was estimated by food officials today, la receiving between eighty and one hundred per cent, of the normal amount of principal foodstuffs from the outside districts, motor lorries providing the mode of transportation. The government hoped today to repeat yesterday's venture, when the first volunteer food train reached London from the east oost loaded with fish. Thus far it has hardly been necessary to draw upon reserve stocks. Incoming meat and flour supplies are nearly normal.

Vegetables today were being received in usual quantities, the milk supply was fifty per cent of normal and eggs twenty-five per cent. Legion Delegates to Be C. of C.

It proves that size was not what they sought. They paid big premiums for qualities that small care did not offer. These are people with wide motor experience.

Men inevitably seek comparison for Essex qualities among high-priced cars'. There only, do they find parallels by which to describe it. They match its acceleration against certain makes noted for that quality. Its speed they compare to the swiftest. Every community has its story of how the Essex, "in high tops some local "bogey" hill.
