Foreign labor must be Americanized.
This is the first conclusion an
nounced by Senator Kenyon as u re-
suit of the senate steel strike inves-
Itigation now under way in the Pitts
burgh district. Efforts to pass laws
which will enable every foreigner to
become an American will be starred

Washington, Chairman Kenyon Said
today. Senators were astounded at
the isolation of foreigners in the
steel district. They visited districts
where the English language is
scarcely understood. Repeatedly in
!terpreters had to be obtained before
the senators could converse w1-h
strikers.
Throughout the steel mills, danger
signs were printed in five languages.
lProclamations were printed in vari-
GUS tongues, senators observed.
I'VE have got to have Amerionai-
zation of these people," Senator
Kenyon declared today. ITS the one
thing we can all rally around We
have got to surround these men with
good influences and teach them our
ideals and language. 1t is the one
hope.

NOT A LOCAL AFFAIR.

While the Ozark Stock Show is to
be held in Springfield this fall. it is
in no sense Springfield or Greene
county, Missouri affair. but instead
as the name indicates, an affair in
tended to represent the entire Ozark
country.
It is true that the Springfield Dis
trict Fair formerly under private
management, will not be continued
this year. The Ozark Stock show is
intended to be the final roundup fair
for the entire Ozark country, to
which should be brought the winners
from the various good county fairs
which have already done such splen-
did work in building up the livestock
OF their respective territories. 1t is
in recognition of the broader scope
I the Ozark Stock Show that the
American Hereford Breeders Asso-
citation and the American Shorthorn
Breeders Association each offered
special premium money, as is the gus
tom with the state fairs and larger
stock shows. The fact, however, that
the Ozark Stock Show is larger in
scope than an ordinary county or
district fair, should not for the NOM
ent discourage the man with stock
good enough to show in his county
fair in also entering his animals in
probability there will be few, if any
herds from outside the Ozark coun-
try. as most of these follow the re-
gular fair circuits and so will not
be on hand to provide the stiff and
discouraging competition which pro-
fessional exhibitors occasionally give
the small inexperienced breeders
In order that the Ozark Stock
Show should have grounds where
live stock could be comfortably hUus-
ed and Adequately dlsplayeu, num-
Der of business men of Springfield

fort will be spared in securing the
