editorial Correspondent of t'nlveraal
Service.
Washington, Sept. 23. Statesmen
are manifesting much interest in the
effect the league of nations fight is
likely to have on the political
chances of prospective presidential
candidates. One hears quite as
much, if not more, discussion at the
capitol about the political effects of
the fight than about the outcome of
the senate's consideration of the
covenant.
Every day of the president's tour
the impression has grown stronger
in Washington that the president
will seek a re-nomination. It is gen
erally believed now that he will be
a candidate for re-nomination wheth
er the treaty be ratified with or
without reservations.
Would Be Triumph.
If the treaty shall be ratified in
the form that he desires it, the
order of business, at which time the
corporation counsel will be given
definite instructions as to the wishes
of the city commissioners.
"The street railway company is
doing as it pleases, regardless of
the State Railway commission or
the city council," said Mr. Butler.
The company is taking cars off of
some of its lines here. The rail
way commission does not know
what is going on in Omaha. I am
offering this resolution as a formal
complaint and I expect that if it
is adopted the railway commissidn
will send an inspector here."
"The city is at the mercy of the
State Railway commission, which
seems to treat Omaha as if it should
do anything asked by the street rail
way company," said Commissioner
Ringer. "The street railway com
pany should not have everything its
own way."
Should Modify System.
Commissioner Zimman said he
believed that the skip-stop system
should at least be modified if it
can be shown that the increased rate
of fare will enable the street rail
way company to pay operating ex
penses and make improvements.
"In many instances the skip-stop
works a hardship on patrons, but in
some cases it may be all right," said
Mr. Zimman. "Although the city
council has no legal right in the
matter, it can, however, exert a
moral influence."
Postmasters Appointed.

gram.) Postmasters appointed: Phoenix,

president admittedly will have a
great political triumph. The addi
tional political prestige thus gained
probably will put the democratic
nomination within his grasp without
competition. In that event his
friends are prepared to insist that he
be tht candidate, making the argu
ment that he would owe it to the
people of the United States to face
the responsibility of guiding the
United States through any compli
cations which might arise through
its entrance into the league.
On the other hand, if the repub
licans succeed in putting through
their drastic reservations, the argu
ment of Mr. Wilson' friends in fa
vor of his candidacy will be that
only with him as president will the
United States be able to persuade
the European nations that it would
be worth while to try the league
experiment on the terms demanded
by the United State to insure its
membership.
May Want Vindication.
In only one contingecy, many
think, js President Wilson likely
to take himself out of the race. That
would be the rejection of the en
tire treaty by the senate. Even in
that event, if the rejection should
arouse any great degree of hostile
public opinion, the president might
seek a renomination for vindica
tion. But if he should seek a renomina
tion under the last described cir
cumstances, he undoubtedly would
have strong opposition in his own
party. The opposition most probab
ly would center around Senator
James A. Reed of Missouri, the
chief democratic opponent of the
league and the most severe of Presi
dent Wilon's critics.
Senator Reed's denunciation of the
president in his speech in the senate
yesterday was so scathing that many
of the politicians of the capitol
thought the Missouri senator was
deliberately putting himself in line
to be the anti-Wilson leader of his
party.
If the president should go down
to defeat in his treaty fight Senator
Reed undoubtedly would loom up
formidably as a candidate for the
democratic nomination. His speech
in the senate was generally recog
nized as one of the ablest analysis
that has been made of the treaty by
any of its opponents. Therefore, if
the treaty be beaten, or even dras
tically amended, and public senti
ment approved by the senate's ver
dict, Senator Reed would naturally
command great influence in his
party. He has been speaking
through the country to great audi
ences and his fine presence, elo
quence and his high ability unques
tionably have made him many
friends and a host of admirers. So
the democratic situation appears to
be that if President Wilson wins
his fight he will either take the
nomination himself or force upon
the convention a hand-picked candr
date, and if he loses his fight, chanc
es will favor Senator Reed.
Republican Nomination.
The republican nomination for
president will be determined by the
superiority of the conservative or
radical wings of the party in the
convention. If the radicals control
the convention it now appears most
probable that Senator Hiram John
son of California will be the nomi
nee. Senator Johnson has been a
leader in the fight against the rati
fication of the treaty. His recent
speaking tour of the country on the
trail of President Wilson has been
a great success. Everywhere he
spoke he had meetings which com
pared favorably in size with those
which greeted the president. He
unquestionably has gained immense
political prestige by his tour.
Higher Telephone Rates
Throughout the Country
The telephone industry has been affected
by the same conditions which caused higher
prices in every other business.
The increased expenses the telephone com
panies have had to meet has necessitated an
advance in telephone rates throughout the
country.
The cost of furnishing telephone service
depends on the cost of producing it The tele
phone companies everywhere are paying em
ployees higher wages and paying more for ma
terials than formerly.
Prices are on a permanently higher level
and we must of necessity adjust our business to
meet this new condition.

in operating other great steel
corporations.
No large corporation in the en
tire west ever started operations
with such tremendous advan
tages of location over its competi-,

Everyone interested in the development of the greatest and most profitable of all manufacturing industries
for Nebraska owes to himself a thorough reading of this announcement. This steel plant coming to Omaha
marks a new step in Nebraska's industrial growth. In the first place, Omaha is the ideal location for
such an industry; right in the heart of a wonderful market for the products of such a plant; and, too, with an
abundant field of raw material upon which to draw. The coming of this plant is an assured thing. Bids for
building it are now in the hands of leading steel plant construction companies of the Pittsburgh district. And
just as sure as it s coming, is the prosperous future awaiting it.
Central Steel' and.

Why We Have Chosen Omaha What We Shall Manufacture
,1
Omaha and surrounding territory is one of the principal scrap centers of the
United States.
Many thousands of tons of high-grade scrap are shipped from Omaha and sur
rounding territory each year to eastern, southern and northern steel plants, at a cost
per ton ranging from $3.90 to Chicago, to $7.50 at Pittsburgh. It is there remelted
and rolled into reinforcing bars and rods, bolt and nut stock, and other steel products.
Omaha and surrounding territory is one of the principal markets for reinforc
ing bars and rods, used in building construction, and other products which we will
manufacture.
These products are now shipped largely from eastern steel plants at a cost in
freight of $11.80 per ton. All steel products, wherever manufactured, are sold on
the "Pittsburgh Base" and the freight from Pittsburgh to the point of shipment is
always added.
Du to thes freight charge more than $15 per torn will be caved by manufactur
ing at Omaha. In fact, on our total tonnage, the freight cost on the scrap shipped
out and the finished products shipped into this territory will pay 25 on our total
capital stock. The proposed increase in freight rates, which is practically certain ,
to bt put into effect, will give this Company a still greater advantage.
The Central Steel eV Lock Nut Corporation will install open hearth furnaces
and rolling mill at Omaha for remelting and rolling to finished product the im
mense tonnage of scrap produced in this territory.
The Central West ia on the eve of the greatest industrial development in its
history. Steel is the foundation of all development, and more millions will be spent
in tl central states for the steel products which we will manufacture during the
next five years than in any other similar period. An Omaha steel mill will keep
many of these millions in Nebraska.
Our principal products will be: Reinforcing bars Rods, Rounds, Flats, Squares"
Bolts, Nuts, Rivets, Railroad Track Bolts, Track Spikes, and the Cinch-Lock Nut.
To those not familiar with steel and steel products these names may not carry
great significance. However, this list of the things on which we shall specialize,
covers the vitally important steel for railroad, farm, factory, and general buildiftfr?
so as anyone who does Know steel will tell you we will be manufacturing for '
great present and greater future demand.
Utilizing the tremendous quantity of "Scrap" which is today shipped East. w :
shall have abundant supplies of raw material at our very doors. Eastern steel plants ,
have had to pay heavy freight on this material which we shall save. And the
freight which buyers in this territory have had to pay clear from Pittsburgh-'
shall also save. These two items amount to more than $15 on each ton. ""S?
The Cinch-Lock Nut is another great asset. It is a new development-onf
own patent, entirely paid for by sales of Common Stock and the market for this
one product, alone, is tremendous. Exhaustive tests have proven it to be eape-
daily and admirably adapted for use wherever stress, jar, or vibration causes
ordinary nuts to work loose.' Because of greater efficiency and economy railrosds'
and various lines of manufacture will come to demand the Cinch-Lock Nut."
Mechanical engineers for leading motor car and tractor makers have pronounced
the Cinch-Lock Nut a "Find" for their own products. We control the manufacture I
and sale of this article for the United States. Ui :,
.. , . .
Our entire plant and production will be in the hands of men with from nine
teen tc thirty years' experience in steel making, who are leading figures in the
national steel industry. These men, today, are at work perfecting the most energetic ' J
and efficient program possible for the plant. -.. j
Some of the Biggest Men In the Steel Industry Head This Organization
PRESIDENT E. Bignell, Superintendent of the Burlington Railroad at Lincoln for
over 25 years.
The railroads are large users of our products and there are nine railroads enter
ing Omaha. Mr. Bignell is one of the best known railroad men in the State, knowing
intimately nearly every railroad man from the Section Foreman to the General
Manager of the road, on every road running into Omaha. No man is better equipped
to secure the railroad business than the President of this Corporation.
VICE PRESIDENT AND GENERAL MANAGER W. R. Glasgow.
Mr. Glasgow will design and operate our plant. He will also supervise its con
struction, saving many thousands of dollars to this jCompany in fees which would
otherwise be paid to consulting engineers. Few men in the steel industry are better
equipped than Mr. Glasgow to perform these duties. His record as an Engineer and
as a practical maker of steel is the most positive proof of this fact.
In addition to a five-year course in Mechanical and Civil Engineering at Prince
ton and Washington Universities he has had nineteen years of practical experience in
all branches of the steel industry.
Thirteen years with the American Steel Foundries, from a beginning as Engi
neer up through the various departments to Works Manager of one of their plants
with eighteen hundred men under his direction, is a record which only a thoroughly
competent and efficient steel man could ever make. This plant, operating six Open
Hearth furnaces and melting 12,000 tons of steel per month, was entirely under the
supervision of Mr. Glasgow.
As Works Manager of the Canadian Steel Foundries he operated both Open
Hearth furnaces and Rolling Mills.
Mr. Glasgow has been in the steel industry all of his life and knows steel mak
ing from every angle. His rise has been continuous and rapid, but, being only forty
years of age, he comes, to this Company comparatively a young man with his best
years before him and with a practical experience and working knowledge covering
nearly twenty years to build on.
SECRETARY AND TREASURER W. B. Ryons.
Mr. Ryons is one of the best known bankers in the State. His entire business
training and experience has been along financial lines and he is eminently fitted to
handle the financial business of a large corporation.
CHAIRMAN OF THE ADVISORY BOARD Edwrd F. Goltra.
Mr. Goltru, with Mr. Glasgow, will supervise the plans, specifications and the in
stallation of our plant. 1'
He hashad thirty years' experience in steel making and is one of the big men
of the United States in the Steel Industry. His advice and counsel in the financial i
policies of steel corporations is best illustrated by his present connections.
. Mr. Goltra is President of the Mississippi Valley Iron Company. This Company
operates a large blast furnace at St Louis.
He is a Director in American Steel Foundries; this Company did a $49,369,584
volume of business in 1917.
He is also interested in various other large enterprises, all of which have been "
financial successes.
His connection with this Company is evidence of the high standing and char-
acter of its officers and places us on a high plane among manufacturers of steel
products.
