FOUR TOWBOATS
FOR USE HERE
Government Lets Contracts for Large
Ones to be Used in Traffic
of Upper River Next
Year

Four big, steel towboats for use
in this part OF the Mississippi river
will be built for the government at
once.
General w. M. Black, awarded con-
tracts for building the boats to three
firms on his visit to st. Louis the
other day.
Each BOAT will cost the govern
ment $330,607, and will be delivered
early next summer. The boats will
be used between st. Louis and ST.
Paul
They will be useless until power
docks are built at the cities on the
river, but the government expects
this to be done next year, and will
decline to stop any of its boats at
towns which do not have modern
power crane docks.
General Black said that transpor-
tation throughout the country was
being hampered by the creation of
too many governmental boards, all
of which seem to be working toward
the same end but Independently ana
without co-ordina ton. He pointed
out that under present arrangements
a separate government organization
has control of water transportation,
while another has control of the rail-
roads and that such an arrangement
was not best for either. He advo-
Gated placing steam. electric and
water transportation under one de-
partment's jurisdiction.

WARN LABOR
OF TREATY
Opponents Of League Of Nation to
Tell Workers That There
is Danger for Them
Ahead.
[By L. C. Martin, United Press Staff
CORRESPONDENT

[By L. C. Martin, United Press Staff
, Correspondent
WASHINGTON, June 19.-Ameri-
can labor is to be warned to distrust
! and fear the provisions of the peace
treaty providing for an international
labor organization, senators opposing
the treaty said today.
In speeches soon to be delivered
lin the senate the labor addendum to
the treaty is to come under fire.
This will be one of the first attacks
on the treaty provisions outside of
the league of nations covenant.
Those assailing the labor plan will
assert, it is said, that the elaborate
plan provided for internationalization
OF labor problems means that Ameri-
can labor will be kept constantly In
court fighting for its protection; that
this means great disturbance because
of the uncertainty regarding settle
ment Of questions vital to the work
ers of this country and that 1t natur-
ally will follow that labor's prosperity
will wane.
In addition 1t Is to argued, sena-
tors said, that the labor chapter
gives Europe and Asia the oppor-
tunity to combine against the United
States to force Town labor standards
here. The seaman's law will be en-
dangered; immigration will be
brought before the league Of nations;
cheap labor will be dumped on the
United States; these senators de-
clared, If foreign nations unite to
force their labor views upon this
country, where labor standards are
so much higher.
Senator Reed, Missouri, and others
are preparing speeches on this phase
of the treaty.

Airship Border Patrol.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.1
Ell PASO, June ia squadron Of
twelve flying machines, all of the
DeHaviland type equipped with Lib
erty motors, are here to take up
border patrol work as the result Of
Mondays skirmishing with Villistas.
The flyers are under direct com
mand of Major Edgar Tobin, just re-
turned from over seas service. The
airplanes flew to Ell Paso from Kelly
field, San Antonio, Texas.
This is the first serious attempt to
patrol the border from the air since
the Columbus expedition in 1915.
The reconnaissance machines were
particularly desired to keep a look
out against Villista bands scattered
in the fighting with the United States
troops from suddenly attacking iso-
lated American border hamlets. The
bandits opposite Fabius were said to
be a part Of the dispersed Villista
force, while the main bandit column
was believed to be far south of the
border probably in the Casas Gran
des valley.
Reports reaching here declare that
General Felipe Angeles, co-leader
with Francisco Villa, Of the Next
cans defeated by the American troops
is pleading with the bandit forces
not to show savagery against Ameri
cans they may encounter in northern
Mexico.
| However, mining companies here
continued their efforts to get in touch
! with American officials and employees
in Chihuahua and order them to con
centrate in the larger Mexican town.

TWO More Divisions APP

I.ater-at 1925 o'clock this morn
ing Miss Mitchell, intelligence officer
had a wire report that two more divl-
sions of the attacking army were al
ysncing on the Hilton road and on
the Johnson street road.
She at once sent out scouts to oe-
termine the strength OF this attack
from another direction.
This indicated an enveloping move
n,ent against Keokuk from the Iowa
sector. the Mississippi river and the
Des Moines river protecting the city
from invasion for over half OF It's
boundary line.
On johnson and Hilton Roads.
II was found that very strong dlvl-
SION on the Johnson street road got
into TONY Cramer's hay field just be-
fore he moved it. There were two
worms on each stalk Of grass, and
after the hay was cut they continued
n, cat the tops of the timothy for
awhile.
On the Biddenstadt place, the army
was also hid in the hay field when
the mowers reached it. In both cases.
The bay was saved by cutting.
But this only drove the army OF
y orms into further and more rapid
advance which was continuing at
room.
Clare on His Way Here.
Miss Mitchell at once put in a long
distance telephone call for J. S. Clare,
ct Donnellson to notify him of the dis
coveries here.
Clare started for Keokuk before
noon, but at 2 o'clock had not ar
rived, or at least was not located In
Keokuk.
TT is probable that on his way hero
from Donnellson, he met other re-
ports of the movements of other diyi-
sions of the army of worms and de-
toured to inspect and give directions
in several places.
In the meantime a woman on the
H;Iton road who saw her garden
ieopardized, attacked the army with
a brick, but without much effect.
