Torn Down In Short
Order.

After having worked practically all
night the machinists at Keith & Keith
garage Friday morning turned the u.
8. Whippet Tank out in very good
condition and ready for operation on
the streets.
At the announcement that the tank
would perform on Market street at 8
o'clock the business district of the city
was we'll filled with people. While
the greater part of the crowd was
composed of city people there were
many country people here as well.
Work on the tank continued Friday
morning and it was not ready to make
It's demonstration at the time origin
ally set but about $3.50 the machine
came out and with little trouble tore
down the distractions which had been
built on the Market street esplanade.
Misses Marion Power and Georgia
Hornback rode in the tank during its
demonstration and are witnesses to
the fact that riding in tank is almost
as bad as a trip in one of those ma
chimes familiarly known as "tin Liz
zies."
Through a special arrangement the
school children we're excused and per-
mitted to witness the demonstration.
They greatly enjoyed the little per-
formance. The machine then went
through the East end streets to Beech
wood Park where many stunts were
done before hundreds of people.
The next big event in Maysville dur
ing the Victory Loan campaign will
be the Ariship Circus which is now
scheduled to arrive in Maysville on
Monday. Folks should watch the pa
pers closely however as change of
schedule may become necessary on ac-
count Of weather.

'We do not think you are author

''As heretofore publicly stated and
lcpeated, our corporation and sub

bat labor unions as such, decline to
discuss business with them. The cor

to the closed shop.
"They stand for the open shop
which permits one to engage in any
line of employment whether one does
or does not bellng to labor union.
This best promotes the welfare Of
both employees and employers.
'In view of the well-known attitude
as above expressed, we respectfully
decline to discuss with you, as repre-

Senate Foreign Relations Com
mitee Wants Equal Voice
in Treaty.
AVOIDS MENTION OF ENGLAND
U. S. Voted Equal Power When Body
Rules to Alter Peace Pact to End
Majority of Britain and
Colonies.

Washington, Sept. IAN amend
ment TO the peace treaty providing
that the United States shall have as
many representatives as the British
empire in the League of Nations u.s.
sembly was adopted by the senate
foreign relations committee.
The vote was 8 to 8, Senator Nc
Cumber. Republican, North Dakota,
standing with the Democrats against
the amendment. The amendment
would not reduce the six votes held
by Great Britain and its dominions,
but simply would provide the United
States have equal representation.
The amendment was the first TO be
adopted by the committee relating TO
the league covenant 1t was presented
by Senator Johnson, Republican. Of
California.
The amendment also contains the
same provision regarding the league
council, the effect OF which would be
10 offset the possibility that Great Bri-
tain and one of her dominions might
he e,lresented in the council at one
line.
In the council there are to be nine
memben, one from each Of the five
big powers and the other from
smaller states to be selected from time
to time
Under the amendment the following
proviso would be inserted In the cove
nant:
"That when any member OF the
league has or possesses self-governing
dominions or colonies or parts of em-
pire which are also members of the
league. the United States shall have
votes in the assembly or council of
the league, numerically equal TO the
aggregate vote of such member of the
league and its self-governing donfn-
ions and colonies and parts of empire
in the council or assembly of the
league"
The committee also adopted two
other amendments. providing that the
American representatives on the rep
arations commission shall vote only
when specifically instructed to do so
by this government, and that none Of
the British dominlons may take part
in deciding a dispute under the league
to which one of them Is party.
The reparatlons amendment was
proposed by Senator Fall, Republican,
New Mexico. and the other by Sena-
tor Moses, Republican. New Hamp-
shire. The vote in each case was 8
to 8, the Democrats and Senator Nc
Cumber voting in the negative.
The Moses amendment followed n
suggestion made by former President
Taft. and was considered necessary
by the Republican members to pre-
clude any possibility that the Rritish
dominions could act together to pre-
vent any one Of them from being over
thrown In decision by the league.
The reparatIons commission, which
win have charge of collecting Ger
many's reparatlons bill, is one Of the
few which would have an American
representative under the amendment
adopted earlier In the week to reduce
American representation on such
commissions.
