The material is brought from the quarry to Sunnyside by aerial tram, where it is milled and prepared for paving roads and streets. It is used extensively throughout Utah for new road construction and street paving. Hock asphalt is found by all tests to be the best and most economical road and street building material in the world. Carbon county has enough rock asphalt to build all the roads and streets in this country. Carbon county roads have been built of rock asphalt. Anyone who has driven over these roads and felt the resiliency rock asphalt road gives will appreciate this fact.

S. chamber of commerce and other reactionary interests have been assailing. Other suggestions included a guarantee of cost of production to farmers, nationalization of the Federal reserve system, ample credit at low interest rates for housing, agriculture and smal business, and regulation and stabilization of industry. Congressman Maury Maverick (Dem., Texas), who acted as the President spokesman, said made general comment in friendly way on the entire program. The group, Maverick said, , declared wages and hour legislation may be caught in a squeeze play and urged the President to use his influence to get a bill started on its way. Hour-Wag- e Legislation The President disclosed that he conferred on the matter with ConT. Norton gresswoman Mary (Dem., N. J.), chairman of the House Labor committee, and had arranged another meeting with Mrs. Norton and Congressman Robert Ramspeck (Dem., Ga.), ranking member on the committee. At this conference, it was indicated, the President will attempt to work out legislation which may be expeced to command a majority of the House. Apparently, Mr. Roosevelt favors wage differentials for various sections of the country, to be worked out by a government board. The Labors League on the other hand insists on uniform standards a minimum of 40 cents an hour and a maxiweek and wants mum those standards written into the Non-Partis- Is the true advocate of those conditions which will make for the betterment of Men, Women, Of course the distiller merely adds this rakeoff to the price of the liquor and the states profits are diminished to that extent. The state could just as well pay them out of the general fund. Liquor advertising is another racket. The liquor houses are told how much they are going to spend for advertising in the state if they are going to do business. The company cant even place its own advertising. They are told where to place it by the political octopus.' The purpose of this is to control newspaper. I know of one instance where a state official called a newspaper publisher and informed him Mayor J. Bracken Lee of Price has been in the state capitol this week scanning the report of the that if you people dont like the legislative investigating committee way we are running things we will which carried on a probe of some withdraw your liquor advertis- of the departments and commis- mg, ff sions of state government.

The President was warned that if the Rules committee again balks it will be almost impossible to again resort to the petition pro- cedure to get the legislation before the House. Members of the group reported the President as saying that the sensible course was to write a bill which would pass muster with the Rules committee and then rewrite it when it went to conference with the Senate. Safeguards Labors Rights Maverick declared that the President was told that progressives in congress would regard as indefensible any changes in the National Labor Relations Act or any restrictions of the activities of the National Labor Relations Board the position that has been taken by the Labors League. The President was reported as agreeing wholeheartedly with this sentiment. It was also the impression of congressmen that the President was in complete harmony with the demand for greater government spending and the institution of a permanent public works program. It was revealed, however, that the President is primarily interest Non-Partis- The Utah Coal Industry provides employment for more than well-pai- d workers to each one worker employed by the gas company. For example, when the gas company employs 65 workers, the Coal Industry gives employment to more than 6500 well-paworkers. There is paid daily to Utah coal mine employes, for each day Utah coal mines operate, $35,000. The daily proportion of the railroad mens wages for hauling each days output of Utah Coal to Utah Markets is $15,000. Wages paid daily to Utah men for unloading, yard labor and trucking Coal in Utah, for every working day of the year, are an amount in excess of $3000. 100 id UTAH COAL INDUSTRY BUILDS UTAH! The Utah Coal Industry is among the largest taxpayers in Utah. Any one of the big Coal Producing firms in Carbon County . pays more taxes than the gas company. The Coal Industry is Utahs most important wealth and business producing industry, and therefore should be the first consideration of the loyal citizens of Utah when considering fuel for their homes, businesses, manufacturing and industrial plants, and public buildings. BURN UTAH COAL! Carbon County is the center of the Utah Coal Industry and is proud to recommend coal products to all citizens of Utah, and thus maintain prosperity within the State. ROCK ASPHALT Among the coming industries of Carbon County and Utah is Rock Asphalt. Large beds are located in the mountains above Sunnyside. Rock Asphalt is found to be the most economical and best road and street building material in the world. Build Utah roads and streets with Utah products Build the BEST roads and streets with ROCK ASPHALT. Anyone who has driven over Carbon County roads and felt the resiliency of Rock Asphalt roads, will appreciate the importance of this material in road building. DRY ICE Carbon County Produces Dry Ice. The well is located on the Farnum Dome, east of Price, with the office and factory located at Wellington. The Carbon Dioxice Co., in conjunction with the ice, also manufacture Cardox, which is extensively used to shoot coal in the mines. It has been found safe because it minimizes the danger of explosion and does not shatter coal. Lets Build Utah with Utah Products and Materials, and Employ Utah Labor!
