DEMAND TO SEE
BOOKS OF STATE FAIR
State Republican Campaign Chairman
Threatens Suit II Request is
Refused.

Louisville, KY, Oct. 10.-Demand
that the books of the Kentucky State
Fair, access to which has been refused
be made available for inspection to
the public and notification that suit
will be entered Immediately to force
submission of the books If the refusal
continues, were contained in a letter
sent to Mat Cohen, Commissioner Of
Agriculture, by Chesley II. Searcy, the
chairman of the Republican State
Campaign Committee, tonight.
The formal demand on Commission
or Cohen to allow accountants rep
resenting the Republican committee
to inspect the fair records followed
the refusal of Fount Kramer, State
Fair secretary, to turn the books over
for inspection without written order
from Cohen.
When demand was made several
days ago that citizens be permitted to
see the State Fair books, Mr.. Cohen
took the position that the "State Fair
records were not public records"
Later he indicated that the permission
would be Forthcoming and he left the
city without granting it.
AS q result Kramer still refuses to
let the Republicans see the records,
Searcy asserts. in his letter. Mr..
Searcy sets forth that the records are
public records, open to any citizen,
and that It is thoroughly within the
right of any citizen to know what
its public institutions are doing and
how they are managed, as shown by
tho raoord

the people and the officers of the Fair
Company. President Stevens and four
Of the directors carried the band all
over the grounds in concerts and they
took the crowd by storm.
Secretary Quinlan, in signing the
band for Friday stated that was always
their slowest day and that he signed
up the band for that day to send IL
over the top. At the close of the day
the Secretary showed his records to
Manager Russell which disclosed that
there had been $4,000 paid admissions
on Friday-the largest single day in

COUNTY 0VERpAYS
PLEDGE To UNITED
WAR WORK CAUSES
Mason County Pays $1ss More Than
Had Been Pledged to United War
Work-COunty Treasurer Is
Highly COmplimented by
State Director.

Mason county has always oversub-
scribed its apportionment to every war
campaign but it has unique record
In the United War Work Campaign
according to a report just received by
Mr.. R. A. Cochran, a member Of the
State Campaign committee, from Mr..
C. A. Tevebaugh, Of Louisville, State
Campaign Director. Mason county
not only oversubscribed its apportion-
ment in this campaign but overpaid
its oversubscription.
This fact Is due, in large meas
ure, to the splendid services rendered
these worthy causes represented in
this campaign by Mr.. James Threlkeld
Of the Bank of Maysville, who was
Treasurer of the campaign in Mason
county.
In his letter Mr.. Tevebaugh says:
I'VE have just had such Rne letter
from the County Treasurer OF the
United War Work, Mr.. James Threlk-
eld, that want to tell you about it
and how much we appreciate his fine
efforts.
"Your county quota in the first
place was s25,SO7.00. Your friends
we're good enough to subscribe $780,
s26.OO and the report of Mr.. Threlkeld,
which has just reached us indicates
that he has collected $31,014.O0, or
$1sS more than the amount subscribed.
This is a great record and Is a credit
to both Mr.. Threlkeld and Mason
county"

Labor Leaders See
Authority Menaced
In Seattle Strike
By Theodore NJ, Knappen

WASHINGTON, Feb. THE Seattle
Tacoma shipbuilders' strike is viewed
with the greatest concern in Washing
ton, not only by government officials,
but labor leaders, serious students of
the readjustment period the nation is
now going through and members of
Congress.
A peculiar feature of the situation
and one that makes it difficult to
handle, is that it is a strike that is
not supported by international unions
Neither the original strike of the ship
builders proper nor the general sym
pathetic strike that has followed was
induced by international officials. The
men are striking not only against en-
ployers and government. but against
their own organizations.
From the day they went out the
shipbuIders have been without The ap-
proval or support of their national or
CARNATIONS and arc receiving no strike
benefits from national organization
treasures. The national leaders of
the unions involved regard tho strike
as wholly irregular as we'll as most i'll
advised at this time.
1t is admitted the shoulders dis
tinctly violated the agreement between
their organizations and the Emergency
Fleet Corporation, when they went cut

Status Of Foreman
As Member Of Union
Causes Bristol Strike

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. IA dispute
over the question as to whether a
foreman should be member of a
labor union caused a strike to-day at
the Merchants Shipbuilding Corpora
tion at Bristol, involving about 1000
metal workers, according to the busi-
ness agent Of one of the unions in
volved. An appeal has been made to
the War Labor Board at Washington.
A statement issued by the company
stated that it has been customary for
member of a union, upon being pro-
noted to foreman, to withdraw from
all union activities.
According to A. A. Rogers, of Indian
apolis, organizer of the Association of
Boilermakers Iron Shipbuilders and
Shipbuilders and Helpers, the action
of the men hinges on the open and
closed shop question. "By dropping
out of the unions, the foremen would
lose all of the sick and death bene-
tits and other features to which mem
bership entities them," he said.

Reorganization

Would Have States Gradual
ly Take Over Bureaus Gre
ated Under u. S. Laws
Urges Full Appropriation
Favors Licensing of Private
Agencies to Curb the Ex-
ploitation of Workers

Commenting on the criticisms of tn
present administration of the Federal
Employment Service, Charles B. Barnes
assistant director of the United States
employment service for the State of
New York, said yesterday the entire
service needed thorough reorgani-
zation from top to bottom
Mr.. Barnes recommends;
|. Creation of a statutory United
States Employment Service on the
principle of the state unit, knit to-
gether by Federal control.
=. Taking over of existing Federal
offices gradually, under this legis-
lation, by the states.
5. Granting of the appropriation
asked for by the service upon the
condition stated above.
4. Licensing of all private employ
ment agencies engaged in interstate
business.
II have read with considerable in
terest in the last few days the remarks
of Morris L. Ernst and the replies to
his remarks concerning the United
States Employment Service" said Mr..
Barnes. Il am strongly in favor of the
continuance OF the United States
Public Employment Service for the
reason that there is not now in exist
ance any other agency of equal value
for dealing with the returning soldier

to operate the streetcar lines, res
taurants and other industries affected
by the strike.
The Federal grand jury will also be
asked by Mayor Hanson to conduct an
investigation of the strike, with ref
be aimed at the PRONUNCIATION of revo-
lutionary doctrine.
Two Streetcars Operated
Two streetcars have been operated
continuously all day. Despite the ugly
disposition of many strikers citizens
patronized the cars. The cars were
under police guard. City authorities
say that they will begin operation of
the Lake Burien municipal line to-mor-
row morning.
While hundreds of strikers congre-
gated before the Labor Temple all day
there was a noticeable difference in
their attitude. The wild enthusiasm
of the first day of the general strike
has waned Seattle's $4,000 rebellious
workers are face to face with the
situation they have created. Talk is
less heated, arms no longer flourish in
less pronounced.
Strike leaders, it was said at the
Seattle Labor Council to-day, consid-
cred permitting several of the large
downtown cafetcrias to open. "Soup
kitchens" operated in military "mess"
style by striking culinary workers,
have been SO heavily taxed by the
crowds that not every one could be
served
Schools, closed by the strike Of iani-
tors and engineers, will reopen on
Monday, the Seattle Board Of Educa-
tion announced tonight. The union
employees are expected to return, the
announcement said.
Many Go to Portland
From Portland Oregon, came word of
an exodus from Seattle to Portland no.
tells of persons who, in. many cases,
said they had left Seattle to escape the
discomforts and possible dangers of the
general strike. San Francisco advices
declared that the Pacific Coast Steam
ship Company, operating line of coast
wise passenger and freight boats, had
( abandoned Seattle as a port Of call un-
til the strike is ended. Other companies,
shipping men said, were expected to
follow this lead.
Major E. H. Keene, of the Office of
the adjutant general at Washington,
stated to-day that thirteen companies
of the Washington State Infantry and
four companies of Independent state
troops have been ordered to drill to-
night, to be ready for any call
The regular army has taken every
precaution to prevent interruption Of
communication that might interfere
with troop operations, and wireless
CT
on grounds across from the Tacoma
armory. These stations will be in
communication with the government
! controlled wireless station at Seattle
In Tacoma the situation is improv-
ing, and with the streetcar men ordered
back to their jobs traffic will be re-
sumed tomorrow on all lines and the
city will return to normal
