The Crash Has Come Between the
Two Memorial Associations.
JOINT MEETING PROPOSED
In This CIB December 7lh 10 Arrange for
Harmonious Action Between Tho Canton
Association and the Washington 0rganla-
tIOn-ProbabIIIB That an Understanding VIII
be Arrived A.

Some time ago The Sunday Globe
pointed out the danger Of a clash of
interests between the Mckinley mem
orial Association, of Canton, Ohio, at
the head of which is Judge Day, Of
that city and the Washington, or
rather national association Of this city.
The friction engendered has at length
eliminated in an effort to secure
harmonious action between the two
associations. In furtherance of this
intention plans we're formulated at a
meeting Of the executive committee Of
the local body in Offices of the Securi-
ty Loan and Trust Company Friday
afternoon last The most important
action taken was the appointment Of
a committee Of FIVE to meet and confer
with the board of trustees Of the Can
ton Monument Association in this city
December Z. The committee is com
posed of the president, secretary, and
treasurer Of the association, the chair
of the executive committee on the
District Of Columbia.
A resolution was adopted outlining
the plan of the executive committee.
1t is proposed that the two assOcia+ions
try for a fund to erect both the mOnu.
ment at Canton and the memorial
arch in this city, The territory to be
canvassed jointly will include all the
United States except the District of
Columbia and the State Of Ohio. II
will be proposed to the board Of trus-
tees of the Canton association that Of
all the money jointly collected one
third shall go to the Canton monu-
ment and two-thirds to the memorial
arch. 1t is not known how the propo-
sition will be met by the Canton as
sociauon trustees, but it is hoped 1t
will be favorably received.
The action taken by the executive
committee is the result of a visit made
to Washington recently by Senator
Hanna, who is. vice president Of the
Canton association. Senator Hanna
suggested that the Washington move
meut be held i'm allegiance because II
would interfere with the progress Of
the Canton association. He asked that
operations be suspended until the fund
for the Canton monument is secured.
The executive committee of the
arch association believed a suspension
of operations at the present time would
result in the death Of the project.
After thoroughly discussing the
proposition of Senator Hanna, the exc
ecutive committee decided that the
prosecution Of the work ought not to
be postponed indefinitely, considering
that as a result Of much hard work a
national organization had been effect
ed, and that assurances Of enthusiastic
support had been received from every
State and Territory in the Union.
Accordingly, a telegram expressing
these views was sent Senator Hanna,
and a letter explaining the situation
in detail was dispatched the same day,
This letter proposed that the two asso-
Citations work together. At a meeting
of the executive committee Of the Can
ton association in the Offices OF Sena- |
tor Hanna on last Thursday the ques-
tiOn was taken up and after discus |
sion action was deferred until the |
meeting Of the board OF trustees in this !
city December II. 1t was in view Of |
this meeting that the executive COM
mittee Of the National Arch Associa- |
tion Friday appointed a special COM
mittee on conference.
