SENATOR'S FIGHTING
LEAGUE-IT FANORS
WORK KINGMEN

Pueblo, Colo, Sept. 2S.-Senators
who are opposing the league of ma
tions are doing so because il gives
labor too many rights, James c. Bull
ger of Denver president of the Colo
RADIO State Federation of Labor, today
declared in speech before mass
meeting of over 1000 persons, held
at local park at the call of repre-.
sentatives of the $500 steel workers
on strike here.
These senators are not fighting
the league because they think il will
not prevent war;" said Mr.. Bulger.
"They know it will prevent war. They
are lighting it because they know that
il contains provisions too favorable
to labor-such as the right of free
assembly. They don't want labor to
have too many rights"

TUCUMCAR| TO GET
NEW STATION AND
OFFICE BUILDING

Santa Fe, ~ NJ Sept. 29.-Plans
are now in the making, so the New
Mexico state corporation commission
has been advised for new railroad
station and Office building to be
erected at Tucumcari. The building
will be constructed by the Rock Island
lines and will be used jointly by that
road and the FL Paso e. Southwestern
system.
The above telegram is interesting
reading to the citizens Of Tucumcari
as they have wished for modern de-
pot or union station for long time.
Before the war with Germany it had
practically been agreed that a union
station would he built but the war
came on and those in charge said they
could do nothing and later the rail-
roads went into the hands of the gov
ernment and this settled il for new
station for Tucumcar.
The state corporation commission is
doing good thing for this city when
| 1t gets depot large enough TO accom-
modate the public one that the travel
ing public will know is the depot and
not think freight house. 1t is best
for Tucumcari that this proposition
has been put Off until now. The rail
road officials know this city is making
steady growth and from present in
dications promises TO become quite a
city provided oil is found in this sec
tion and there is -ceson 70 believe this
will come to pass. Now the officials
will feel justified in building a nice
commodious union station near the
/ present site. The citizens have had to
apologize long enough for the present
building and it has served its useful
ness, so it is hoped they will make
haste and build that new station.

today to begin voting at o'clock to-
morrow afternoon on the amendments
to the peace treaty by Senator Fall,
republican, proposing that the United
States be not represented on the nu-
merous international commissions cre-
ated by the treaty.
The German peace treaty got g.
hour speeding up in the senate yes
terday, all but thirty minutes of which
was an address by Senator Fall, re-
publican, New Mexico, attacking the
league of nations covenant and plead
ing for adoption of his thirty-six diff
ferent amendments.
Discussing his amendments, Sena-
tor Fall declared that the reparations
commission had more power than ever
was vested in the kaiser and that even
Carranza by decree could not attempt
to exert AS much. Should the United
States accept full representation on
the commission, he added, it would
have to back up its representative
with an army. Under his amendment
ne said the American representative
could vote only on questions relating
to shipping unless ne was specifically
authorized by congress.
Senator Fall announced that later

Cincinnati won the second game OF
the worlds series today from the Chi

Williams and Schalk were doing the
battery work for Chicago and while
Gin, innati only made four hits off his
delivery they punched their hits and
together with Williams wildness sue
ceeded in making runs. Sallee and
Raridan were in the points for Gin
cinnati and were in luck. The White
Sox hammered Sallee for ten hits but
they were so scattered that only in
the 7th inning were they able to score
when they made two.
Cincinnati made 3 in the / and in
the sixth.
The teams will play in Chicago FRI

White SoX will play even. The dop-
