The American Railway Union VIII be
One Year Old "Wednesday.
Among the notable promoters of or
ganized railway labor in Kansas who are
representing the state at the national
convention of the American Railway
union at Chicago, are James Bruce, of
Emporia and Fred Combs of Newton.
Recently the JOURNAL printed statis-
teal account of the growth of the union
in Kansas, where, for the most part it is
in very healthy condition. The local
union at Topeka is. however, one of the
things of the past. On the Goth of June,
Wednesday, the union will be just one
year of age. and yet it ALREADY numbers
$50 unions in the country and national
membership of more than $4,000, and is
still growing with astonishing rapidity.
1t also has the distinction of having won
the only thoroughly successful strike IN
conditionally that has been credited to d
railway labor organization within the
past twenty years.

TO Run Daily Train Through Meade,
Says the Rock Island.
The citizens of Meade, Kansas, have
Detitioned the railway commissioners to
compel the Rock Island to run at least
six passenger trains week through their
town. Until today the service was daily
and quite satisfactory to the citizens but
beginning today the road has changed
the running of the trains on that division
SO that Meade and the other towns along
that line get only three trains week
hence the kick.
A Rock Island official was seen today
and said that the train was taken off be-
cause it did not pay and they could not
afford to operate train that lost them
money on every trip. II do not know
what the people think the railroad COM

can compel us to throw away money.

need rebuilding and what do not

report came in it had on its list at least
twelve miles of sidewalk that it was con-

place with new brick walks. Mr.. Fulton
and his committee who have an eye to
economy thought differently, however.

After five days of hot, hard work they
have been fairly successful. Every
sidewalk mentioned in Dir. Brusman's re-
port and many that he had forgotten
about were eyed with suspicion by the
committee and the list chopped down

Its former obesity. The twelve miles
have been reduced to eight and the list
