SENATORS SCORE
FEDERAL TRADE
BOARD MEMBERS
Sherman Declares They Are
Bolsheviki. Younger Broth
ers of |. W. W. and
Menace to Business.

Washington, Sept S--The fedora
trade commission was sharply as
sailed and vigorously defended in thu
senate today for its recent report tc
President Wilson recommending thai
the government take over the contro
of the packing industry so as &c
break up what il termed a monopoly
OF the meat business in this and other
countries and 10 prevent alleged
prohteering,
The debate in which Senators Sher.
man OF Illinois and Smoot OF Utah
led the attack on the commission was
preeipitated by introduction by Sen
ator Gore of Oklahoma of an amend
ment TO the emergency agricultural
appropriation bill carrying out in the
main the commissions recommends
uons, The amendment later was
withdrawn when II was apparent that
consideration OF il would further de-
lay passage OF the bill.
Declared Political Organization.
Senator Sherman declared the COM
mission to be self-constituted
prosecuting agency made up OF
business failures" while Senator
Smoot OF Utah charged that the COM
mission from the beginning has been
a political organization and had been
used as stepping stone to CAM
paign for Office.
Senator Smoot said the Gore
amendment proposed to carry out the
thing that every newspaper in the
country had denounced and added
that if any amendment were adopted,
Ii should be one abolishing the COM
mission. The senator called atten-
ton to the recent report made by
the federal trade committee of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, and transmitted to the presi-
dent. which criticised the commits
SONS manner of making investiga-
tons.
The Utah senator also criticised the
business ability and experience of the
commissioners and declared their re-
port on the packing industry was
based ION prejudice and not on the
FIRST principle of justice" The pack
ers, Re said. were denied an oppor-
tunity to present their side OF the
case completely.
Kenyon Defends Packing Report.
Senator'S Gore and Kenyon defend
ed the report, declaring it largely JUS
tilted. the latter saying it received
lie Endorsement of thousands of per-
sons who have been robbed by the
packers all these years"
Senator Sherman declared 1t the
members of the commission desired
to know what the people thought OF
them, they had only to offer them
selves for Office and would be beaten
by vote of four to one. He referred
TO members OF the commission as
"self-appointed business men, who
have done nothing in their lives but
criticise men who are doing things"
There isn't one" Senator Sher-'
man continued, who isn't radical,
i bolsheviki, an economic hrebrand
They're younger brothers of the

excuses for public officers. They're a

THE BURNING QUESTION
(Leslie's Weekly

The fuel question, which may be
said to be like a fire that has died
down during the heat of summer, will
flare up again with the approach of
cold weather. and from now on it will
resume its place as the Burning
Question"
Remembering the "heatless days"
and the shutdown of industry for lack
of fuel the consumer naturally puts
the query: "Will there be enough fuel
to keep me warm next winter?"
In answering this question the con-
sumer must bear in mind that besides
| his own coal there must be furnished
millions of tons for the great NUM-
ton plants, ships, railroads, the army
and navy and the various industries
named as essential, and besides these,
certain amount of fuel to the nom
essential industries.
In the Eastern States antracite is
almost exclusively used for domestic
purposes. The smaller sizes are used
for steam-firing in hotels. apartment
houses, manufacturing plants, etc. In
many cases, it is customary to mix
small sizes of anthracite with btu
minous coal was not available in New
York, and the hotels found it ne
Cessary to use the larger sizes of an
thracite, thus depriving the consumer
of hard coal. There is little doubt
that this condition will not exist this
winter.
Last years production of anthacite
was 100000 gross tons. The cur
rent production by months is at rate
in excess of the production last year.
The Anthracite Committee of the Fuel
Administration made an allotment for
each section of the country. Fhe in
crease of anthracite to New England
this year is 1896 per cent over 1917.
To the Atlantic States it Is 1859 per
cent. increase for the same period. In
all other sections it has been decreas-
ed, and to some sections no authra-
cite at all will be shipped.
The reason consumers in some cit
les have not secured their full supply
of anthracite is because the best pol
icy has been to get the faraway sec
lions from the mines stocked up first;
in other words, to give them their al
lotment, or as much as possible, be-
fore cold weather

NICE lot OF men TO
LEAVE FOR CAMP KNOX
Col. j. II. PattOn Rounds Up About
CarlOad-They VIII Leave
Thursday Afternoon.

Mr. ]. II. Patton of Louisville, U. S.
Department of Labor, Public Service
Reserve, is still in town, ana says to
come onIboys and get in line for Camp
Knox. There will be from so to 100
genuine American patriots leave
Maysville for Camp Knox on Thurs
day afternoon. A large number is ex-
pected from Flemingsburg also.
A great many of these men have
left their non-essential work to en-
ter work that will help free the world
from liars and barbarians, as Presi-
dent Wilson recently told them in
plain English in his last note.
AS has been repeatedly stated Camp
Knox will be completed whether the
war ends in one week or one year and
1t is. the duty of every ablebodied
American citizen to leave their non
essential work and enter some work
necessary to running the war.
AS one Maysville man remarked to-
day as he signed up for Uncle Sans
work, some of the men in Maysville
who have contributed to Red Cross,
Y. NJ. C A., etc, and bought Bonds
and Stamps think they have made
sacrifices but, if Russia puts about s.
100000 men who. undoubtedly are be-
ing trained with all the skill at the
command of the German army are put
on the Western front next spring,
then we will begin to think about sac
rifices.
There will be parade Thursday at
ternoon to the depot to catch the 3:40
train for Cincinnati. Everybody in
Maysville Is invited To come down
town and see this parade. No admis,
sion will be charged. Parades, sun
shine and fresh aid are still free, so

the board of directors felt that the or
ganized guarantee could be secured,
the secretary Of the Chamber of Com
merce was instructed to communicate
with Mr.. Young by wire the accept
ance of his proposition. Secretary
Dodds attended to the matter last

Corn and Tobacco Fair Postponed In
definitely

Chairman Merz, of the Corn and To-
bacco Fair committee, presented the
opinion of the committee in stating
that they had decided that it would be
best to postpone the fair on account
of present existing conditions through
out the State, and in conformity with
the request of the State Board of
Health that there be no gathering of
assemblages. No one knows just when
this order will be lifted, and the COM
mittee felt that the citizens would ap-
prove of the action taken by the board
of directors. The postponement of the
fair was approved by the directors
and the date set for the latter part of
December or the first of January.
The attention of the board of direc
tors was called to the erroneous idea
that is going the rounds throughout
the county and adjoining counties re-
garding the influenza conditions pre-
vailing in Maysville, and while the sit
uation demands careful precaution,
there is no reason for our neighbors
being alarmed to the extent that they
can not transact their regular trading,
The business houses have taken every
precaution in the operating of their
business, and there is no danger in
customers making their purchases in
the Maysville stores.
A great many people who have read
DR.. Lockes report in the papers have
understood that the report was the
case in Maysville. This is not so; the
cases reported by DR., Locke are of the
entire county.

FIELD OF CORN UNGATHERED.
Flagrent Case of Wastefulness Cal
led to Attention of Authorities.

Atlantic, June 24.-The Cass
county council of defense has en-
countered what opportunity is one
of the most fragrant cases of waste
fulness found in all Iowa. 1t has
discovered twenty acres of good
corn grown last year which no at
tempt has ever been made to gather.
The matter was brought to the
attention of the council of defense
and Chairman NJ. P. Conway and
State Agent w. A. Mckee paid a
visit to the farm. 1t is farm be-
longing to the mother of a young
man named Adolph Nau the latter
having the farm in charge. There
was originally forty acres of the
corn but about half of it has been
acres of corn is of good quality and
despite the six months exposure to
winter storms and spring rains, the
grain is said to be in good condition.
When the members of the coun-
Gil visited the farm young Nau was
not at home and the members were
unable to secure an explanation for
the queer conditions. Returning
to the city the council notified
young Nau by mail that he must
gather the corn at once and also
that he must plant the field to some
crop that can be utilized under the
present great demand for food for
the allies and the United States
armies. 1t is possible also that the
farmer may be prosecuted by the
federal government.
