Hint on Gas Globes.

To clean gas globes, wash with soap
and warm water in which a little salts
of lemon has been mixed. The great

SHARP TILT OVER LEAGUE AMONG
 COMMITTEEMAN

Washington, Aug. 5-In its hear ings on economic sections of the Yer sailles treaty, the Senate Foreign Re- lations Committee got into a sharp argument today over the League of Nations during which Chairman Lodge declared repeated attempts to secure information on the league from President Wilson had been un- available.
 The President" said Senator Lodge, has never offered to come before this committee. He only sent a telephone message saying he would be glad to have the committee come to the White House. We have called for paper after paper and he has not sent one"
 Senator Fall, Republican. of New Mexico, remarked that the commit tee did see the President at the White House on his first return from France, but had failed to get from him any important information. Democratic members of the con- mittee replied and the argument be- came so sharp that the chairman had to rap for order.
 The clash interrupted the testimony of Norman Davis, an economic ad- wiser to the Versailles conference, regarding the reparation clauses of the treaty.

A new committee was ap- pointed all of whom met the require ment of having worked at the plant for more than a year. A vote of thanks was given to the old commit tee and the meeting adjourned until tomorrow when they will be told of the efforts of the new committee to reach a settlement.
 Following q refusal of the H. O. Garfield Go. to grant the demands of It's employees to a A hour week and increase aof pay the $50 workers at that plant walked out this morning and proceeded to Eagles hall where they organized and appointed com mittees.
 After the walk out the management of the concern stated that they had offered voluntarily to increase the pay of their employees 12 1-2 per cent. without taking into consideration the A hour week.
 At the meeting of the Yost strikers yesterday afternoon Sam Lavit said: This morning I was told that if l dared to address the meeting of the Bryant strikers I would be arrested. I have not>been arrested as yet but 1t would not surprise me if they framed u7 omething to get me out of the way. When the Grand Lodge wants to have a man removed he generally goes away for a few days out of town or to a hospital So if I don't show up for a few days don't worry. I z ed a frame up or you might hear l was black lacked. But stick to- gether and you will win in the end.''
 At the meeting of the employees of the Locomibile company last night the committee reported that the man agement of the factory had turned their demands down fiat and it was with much difficulty that the men were induced to return to work until they received sanction from the Grand Lodge at Washington for a strike.

 They will hold another meeting at Eagles hall tonight when definite ac- tion will be taken.
 The machinists from Lake Torpedo Boat Company will meet at Machin- ists' hall tonight to discuss their de- mandS and grievance against the company for discharging 140 men yesterday with the notice required by the War Labor Board.
