Show teams. such as that being ex-
hibited at the State Playground by Will
son & Co, require as much care and
attention as youngsters who are train
ing for the first time. to participate in
athletic contests. Though these huge
animals are considerably heavier than
most horses, they are sensitive and de-
mand much attention. While they are
worked every day by the packing COM
pany which owns them, these animals
are fnicky in every way known to horses.
For instance, they actually show re-
sentiment when hitched up TO draw
wagons that are not bright and snappy.
OF coarse, their refusal is seldom
aroused. for these handsome Clydesdale
geldings are cared for by a corps of at
tendants, who see to il that they are
never over worked nor subjected to the
slightest abuse
They know their driver and trainer,
Frank Housely, one of the greatest six
horse team trainers in the world, and it
is seldom that he finds it necessary to
do more than talk TO the horses. Their
intelligence is sometimes almost human,
while their pride is evidenced in the
show rings when they keep step with
the music as they gracefully follow the
direction of their trainer and perform
to the delight of horse lovers.
These animals never have been defeat
ed IN any show ring, and for four sue
cessive times Wilson & Co. has won the
International Live Stock Exposition
grand prize at Chicago.
The horses are attended by a veterin-
arian and their diet is as carefully
watch and their weight recorded with
regularity

BRITISH LABOR
VOTES TO DISARM
Will Ask Representation at
Washington Conference.

CARDIFF, Wales, Sept. S-British
labor today decided to support the Far
East and disarmament conference at
Washington and to ask for labor rep
resentation. Amidst scenes of uproar
and confusion the trade union congress
overwhelmingly adopted a resolution to
this effect.
j. II. Thomas, British labor leader,
and other speakers scored the British
military and naval policy Thomas said :
I'VE shall have to go to Washington
and admit that within two years of the
signing of the treaty of Versailles we laid
four battleships," said Mr. Thomas.
This is a mockery and a farce. We
ought to say definitely to our delegates
to the disarmament conference: GO free
and unfettered and say evidence of
our good faith that we are not going on
building these warships.
International matters, particularly An
gIo- American relations, crept into the
debate of the laborites.
Mr.. Thomas, by inference, attacked the
Anglo japanese treaty. II. Pollitt de
plOred the fight among the international
oil interests, which, he said, resulted in
America paying four times as much for
a barrel of oil as Japan. Such hostility,
he feared, might breed new world war.
