Every Word of This Interesting Advertisement.
The General Electric Company made Schenectady a big city.
It raised it from the obscurity of a quiet college town to world wide
fame as a manufacturing center.
The General Electrio Company will make of Erie one of the greatest
of industrial centers.
Its Erie works will be far greater in territory covered, number of meu
employed and volume of output than at Schenectady.
At Schenectady the site owned contains 275 aores of ground.
At Erie its site contains 900 acres of ground, three times larger than
Schenectady.
At Schenectady the main factory buildings occupy 00 acres.
At Erie the "works-plot" covers 400 aores.
At Schenectady the number of employes is 16.000 men.
18,000 men to be employed at Erie.
At Erie the completed plans call for 18,000 men.

This Advertisement Directly
Concerns You.
Industries create population and population
makes land values.
When the monster plant ot the Geueral
Electric Company at Erie is completed and
mauned to its full capacity of 18,000 men, it
means an increase in population of 1331 per
cent.
This means a city once and one-third agaia
as large as Erie, added on to the present oity.
Where population doubles, real estate val
ues double twice.
For the proof of this, see the statistics of
Schenectady above.

teries. It is within 15 minutes' ride by direct trol
ley to the heart of the shopping district of

This means 6,000 more men than all the hands now employed in all the
300 manufacturing concerns at Erie.
Outside of the investment in land, two buildings have already been
erected at a cost of 81,200,000 and work is now under way on two more.
In all there will be 38 main buildings each 400x800 feet.
The total estimated cost of the Erie plant is 825,000,000.
This means that this one huge concern will represent an investment
equal to that of all the 300 manufacturing concerns now in Erie.
Lastly and most important of all, the present rate of pay roll increase
of the General Electric Company is 12 per cent, per annum, all of which,
hereafter, will be transfered to the Erie plant.
At this rate the Erie plant will be manned to its full capacity of 18,000
men inside of five years.
We vouch for the truthfulness and reliability of every one of the above
statements.
We have obtained them from unquestioned and reliable sources.

AMENDMENT BEATEN-
Senator Root's Addition to Re
ciprocity Treaty Is Lost.
Indications Are That Reciprocity Hal
Free Sailing Now and the Measure
Will Pass Without Amendment al
an Earlier Date Than Has Been Ex
pected Bill Will Probably Be Vot
ed on July 24 Senator Lifollette
Has an Amendment.
Wasliingtion, June "27 The Root
amendment to the Canadian reciproc
ity bill was defeated' in the senate
last evening. This disposes of one ol
the most serious menaces to tho bill
and the Indications are now that rtc
proolty has free sailing and will pass
without, amendment at an earlier date
than has been expected.
The Root amendment went down to
defeat without any record vote, nc
roll bavins been demanded. The vice
president simply stated tho question
there was a mild chorus of "ayes" and
n louder chorus of "noes," and Mr.
Sherman declared the amendment
lost.
The Root, amendment proposed to
delay the freo admission of wood pulp
and print paper into this country un
til all restrictions agnlrst the exporta
tion of those products had been re
moved by (he Canadian provinces.
Vnder the terms of the bill In its
present form pulp and print paper will
be admlttPd free from all provinces,
except those that maintain export re
strictions. Fixing a Date For a Vote.
Steps were taken yesterday looking
towards the fixing of a date for voting
upon the reciprocity and other tarlfl
measures. An agreement was drawn
up by Chairman Penrose of the
llnance committee and submitted to a
number of senatora on both sides ol
the chamber.
This agreement proposed that a vote
should be taken by unanimous consent
on the Canadian reciprocity bill on
July 24, on the farmers' fre list on tha
day following and on the I'nderwood
woo! bill on July 26.
There was considerable Interest
manifested on the floor when Senator
Penrose produced this document He
took It to the vice president and the
two retired to tho rear of the senate
chamber and began summoning sen
ators to take a look at It.
Senator Martin of Virginia, the mi
nority leader, was railed In, hut was
not very much disposed to acquiesce
In It.
Senator Penrose felt raiher cheer
ful when tho senate adjourned and
said he ww';ld probably submit the
agreement to the senate today and
ask for unanimous consent that it be
made the standing order of business.
Tho progressive Republicans, when
they lenrned of tho agreement, were
somewhat startled. ' They held hurried
conferences and the Indications are
that even if the Democrats acquiesce
In the agreement a number of the
progressive senators will stand out
agnlnst It. In such a contingency the
agreement will fall.
Some of the progressive senators
were saying last night that If the
agreement was acquiesced in, It would
simply mean that fully half of the
senators would run away to the sea
shore or to their homes and would
not reappear In Washington until the
day for a vote. The progressives want
to do some talking and the friends of
tho reciprocity bill should be In their
places In the scnato to vote on the
amendment.
The Republican leaders believe that
out of the proposed agreement will
finally come some sort ofi satisfactory
solution of the matter. As the hot
weather Increases In Washington
there la a growing unrest among the
senators to get away to their homos.
Fixing Date For Adjournment.
The date fixed by the progressives
for the adjournment of the extra ses
sion Is In September, while regulars
of both parties are working to bring
about a rHisbandment not later than
Aug. 1.
Chairman Penrose Intimated that if
the progressive Republicans refused
to fix a date for a vote ho would ask
tho leaders of both sides to back him
up In an effort to require the senate
to meet earlier each day and to sit
later and to require those senators
who insisted upon debating to work
overtime, believing that In course of
lime they would see tho advantage of
voting on tho pending questions and
returning home.
Senator Clark of Wyoming, chair
man of the Judiciary committee, open
ed the debate o:: the Root amendment
with an earnest appeal for party har
mony. Ho advised tho Republicans
to go Into a party caucus to deter
mine what the party's attitude in the
senate should be
Senator LaFollete announced that
he would offer an amendment to the
reciprocity bill, putting lumber and
the manufactured products of lum
ber and also piint paper on the freo
