TWO DEALS FOR
CAAR PLANT ON
IT IS LEARNED

From authoritative sources il was
learned today that the creditors com
mlttee of the defunct NJ. Rumely cor.
poration. now in the hands of a receiv-
er, has not only been dickering with
agents of the Canadian government
for the sale of the Richmond plant of
the company but has also been con-
Quoting negotiations with large east
ern manufacturing company for the
same purpose and with very good pros
poets for the deal being consummated
Inasmuch as Finly Mount was ap-
pointed received for the Rumely cor
poratiOn by United States court his
declaration that he would not consider
any offer from the Canadian govern
ment for the transfer of the local plant
of the company did not occasion any
surprise. Any such action on the part
of Mr.. Mount might be construed as a
violation Of neutrality on the part of
the American government
On the other hand if interests not
directly connected with the Canadian
government should make a satisfac-
tory offer for the Gaar, Scott property
there is no reason to believe that Mr.
Mount would refuse to consider it,
Suggestion BY Mount.
An Indianapolis dispatch today
says:
The suggestion has been made to the
industrial body at Richmond by Mr.
Mount that private company be or.
ganized to buy the Rumely plant there
If this company is organized Mr.
Mount would put it in touch with the
Canadians seeking to contract for the
supply Of ammunition.
The Richmond plant is now operat-
ing with a working force of about fifty
men. 1t is worth, according to the re-
ceiver, S1.O0O,00O.
Rumely tractors, which might easily
be used in drawing heavy field artil-
lery, have been bought by the Russian
government from the receiver. They
are to be delivered from the plant to
Odessa, Russia. The contract between
Mr.. Mount and the Russian govern
ment calls for $4,000 and the COM
pany has been paid in part for the
tractors already supplied.
Business of the Rumely company
has been SO large the last few months
that it has been necessary to operate
the Battle Creek plant at capacity, ac-
cording to the receiver.

Convention - Delegates
Shown City in Autos by
Local Friends.

Advocacy of measures to result IN
the withdrawal of the opposition OF
the National Manufacturers associa-

was contained in a report from the
legislative committee, read by VIII
liam Mutchner, at the business session
this morning held by officers and del
egates attending the eleventh annual
state convention of the National
Association of Stationary Engineers at
the Eagles hall in this city.
Mr.. Mutchner reported in behalf OF

to have the bill passed at the last

responsibility for its defeat in the
hands of the House committee after
nine days considera tion to the mem
bers of the Manufacturers associa.

The committee recommends that a
copy of the law be distributed to ev'
cry manufacturer in the state and also
advised each organization of engi
neers in the state to work unitedly in
an effort to have the opposition with
drawn.
Other Committee Reports.
The report of this committee was
the most important at the session, but
others read were those of the secre
tary, credentials committee, etc. Fred
erick L. Ray, national president of the
engineers association delivered an ad
dress speaking briefly upon several
subjects of interest to the delegates
These subjects included the license
law which he says is a measure fol
the safety and welfare of the genera
public, not a law for the engineer on
ly. Any other construction upon the
law, than this, he said would be mis-
leading and a misstatement of fact.
He also pointed out the value of 9th
