YOUNG, TO ARTICLE TEH WITH AID OF FOUR DEMOCRATS REPUBLICANS PUT ONE OVER G# .-THE -lULfcSIDSN.T.. . — THE VOTE WAS' 33 TO 46 Vote on Quoatlon of Clamping Down a Cloturs on Debate Dapenda on tha * Damocrata, Republicans Say. Washington.—Squarely Joining the Issue with President Wilson, tha sen ate adopted a reservation qualifying tha obligations of the United States under article 10 of the league of na tions covenant. A solid republican lineup, reinforc ed by four democratic votes, put the ggaga&yfflr aaroga from the fo.relgn relations committee and in virtually the language which the President declared on his western tour would cut the heart out of the covenant and mean the rejection Of the treaty... The vote by which the re servation won was 46 to 33. The fight for reservations having thus been carried to a climax, the re publicans presented for future-fiction, a cloture proposal designed to bring final action on the question of ratiflea tion within a week. A vote on the^question of clamping down a cloture on debate, republican ■ leaders say. will depend entirely on the democrats whether the move ral lies the necessary two-thirds to make cloture effective.

New York.—Clarence H. MacKay, president of the Postal Telegraph-Ca ble company, made public a letter he had written Postmaster General Bur leson declining to send a check foi 12,3.49,195.20, which MacKay asserted would be "the difference between the 14,029.20 our company earned from August 1, 1918. to August 1, 1919, and 11,680,000 the award which you claim to have made us.” “Apparently you are shor4 of funds to pay the Western Union.” MacKay wrote, “and y6u, therefore, demand $2,349,195 20 of our profits in order that you may pay them to the Western Union This means that yoru with tc USe OUr profits tO Dav Western TTntnn Tosses.” which was issuea In the United States district court at Indianapolis.

The operators, so far as available reports show, have not yet mad* plans to combat the strike. Reports from various railroad*cen tefs showed that seizure of coal in transit as ordered by the federal ‘gov ernment, had begun. Hundreds of coal laden' cars in transit were taken over by regional directors of the fuel ad- ministraton and were sidetracked to await possible distribution under the administration priority schedule. Much interest was expressed by operators’ representatives as to tjie exact manner in which the restrain- ng order would be considred by union leaders and their followers. Some union district chairmen have publicly stated that the strike move ment has gone too far to be influenc ed by any writs or injunctions. PERSHING IS FOR REDUCTION IN PROJECTED SIZE OF ARMY.

You put the Anal Okay upon the use of certain materials and con struction when you buy a wagon containing them—and refuse to buy a wagon that doe* not. We want to show you how the Thornhill Wagen is built Upon a plain statement of facts we.are willing to rest our case We believe the Thomiull way would bejosr way if you should build a wagon. Rest Our Case Fo; spokes and axles tough seeond growth highland hi&ory ia used For hubs and felloes the sturdy white oak is preferred. This wood grows upon the mountain side. The ground is hard— the inmate severe. It has to fight for life. It has nearly twice th ^.length of oak and hickory that grows under softer conditions. Outdoors under shelter h remains for three to five years. The sap dries in it, giving it a strength that’s kin to steeL THORNHILL WAGONS Trussed Bolsters and Long Wear Beds Full Circle Iron Malleable Front HouXx Plate Wan on Plate of Mall—hie Iron in turning and backing up, with the ordi- lary circle iron, which is only a half circle, misters run off the end of the track and tang. It is difficult to nuke short turns and )3ck up. The Thornhill full circle iron ives a continuous track on which the bol ters can turn. f The gfcars of Thornhill wagons stay in line for ife. Instead of the usual front hound plate, . hound plate of malleable iion is used. It is t metal jacket braced at eight points that (.ccps gears from ever getting out of line. On the front bolsters of ThomhiH wagons are heavy iron plates running along top and bottom—connected by rivets that run cl**r through the bolster. Strength- and lightness are combined. Rear gears are strongly ironed. There are braces on both top and bottom that extend the 4ull length of the hounds. Solid trust bars extend the full length of the -axles giving them double strength. If you examine the beds of Thornhill Wagons closely you will see at once the superiority of the construction. The bottoms are re-inforced over front ar.i rear bolsters. Come in and examine this wagon for yourself. We will take pleasure and pride in showing you a Thornhill—Tho wagon made of tough highland oak and hickory—with features all others lack.
