road Telegraphers would not be recog-
nized under the present management.
"Let the operators get new officers,
he said, land then we will talk to

Chicago, Dec. 24.-Third Vice Presi-
dent Barr of the Santa Fe system, said
upon being informed that the tele-

Gas far as we are concerned, it has
been off a long time. We have all the
men we need at present, and we will
discharge none of them to make room
for any striker who wishes to come
back. These men broke their contract
with us in a manner entirely unjusti-
fable, and we are done forever with
the telegraphers &c an organization.
The strike natur. caused us annoy
ance at first but tnls lasted only for
few days, and then we were in first

KANSAS CREAM ERlES.
Farmers Within Range of Them Pay Cash
at Stores.

Topeka, Dec 24-Secretary F. d.
Coburn has issued pamphlet report
showing the value of milk products.
The creameries reporting for only
part of the year average between seven
and eight months During this time
ten creamery companies received S.
SOS, s31 pounds OF milk; seven compan-
les report a production Of 1928, 1879
pounds of butter; four companies re-
port a product of $685. pounds of
cheese, and then 10 companies report
disbursement to their patrons Of $685.
377.34.
These figures probably represent but
a small fraction Of the total product OF
the state, and yet, notwithstanding the
large production, Kansas creamerie5
cannot begin to supply the demand
for good butter and cheese. The cry
ING need of our Kansas creameries is
more milk.
1t is a noticeable fact that where the
creamery industry is well developed
the farmers of that community are
prosperous happy and contented. Mer-
chants testify to the fact that, since
the introduction of creameries, store
bills are paid in cash instead of run
ming from one year to another.
