BARRIERS UNION SPLITS
Shops North of Sixth Avenue
Are i'm Rebellion.

The Topeka BARRIERS union has split
in two, as a result of the adoption of the
z o'clock closing rule some days ago.
Nearly all of the shops north of Sixth
avenue are lined up solidly against the
o'clock rule, and will refuse to obey it.
The result will be that they will be ex-
PEELED from the union. and their union
cards taken away from them.
Joseph Griley and Frank GeutSch are
the leaders in the revolt. They state
that they will not close their shops until
the old closing hour, O'Clock.
A change is to be made in the firm
of Griley & Stritzinger. though this
change has no connection with the trou-
bic with the union- Mr. Stritz1nger is
to move to Portland, Oregon, with his
family. His interest in the firm has
been purchased by John Griley, broth
er of Joseph Griley, and the firm VIII De
known as Griley & Griley.
Speaking of the revolt, Mr.Griley said
I'VE can not obey the rule of the union
requiring o'clock closing. Our patrons
come to the barber shop till after
O'clock at night In everything except
this Z O'Clock closing rule our shop VIII
continue to run strictly according to
union laws. We will pay the union scale
and observe union customs. No barber
shop in town is really more in sympathy
with the unions than ours. Most OF our
patrons are union men,.

bers of the city at the Commercial club
rooms Monday afternoon. At that meet
ing the situation was carefully gone
over, and the arguments of both sides
advanced. The BARRIERS from the south
of Sixth avenue all stood together for
the early hour and outvoted the others
Only one shop south of Sixth street
sides in with the rebels. That one is w.
d. Bishops shop at COL Kansas avenue
Bishop may refuse to close his shop at
the union hour of O'Clock.
One of the shops north of Sixth ave-
nue. has already taken summary action
against the union. 1t has discharged
it's union assistants and employed nom
union worknen instead. The proprietor
of this shop says:
Il can not obey the o'clock closing
rule of the union, and consequently ex-
pect to be ruled out of the union. In
working for me would have to quit in
order to remain in good standing. The
men had their chOice-either to quit the
union or quit me- and they quit me-.
That fairly illustrates the sentiment
of other boss BARRIERS. The BARRIERS Will
either be dishonorably discharged from
the union or will have to quit working
in non-union shops.
An effort was made at the meeting of
the boss BARRIERS yesterday to effect q
compromise by districting the city, and
having different closing hours in diff
ferent districts. The Santa Fe shop
district BARRIERS would be allowed to
keep open later at night than the up
town shops. This scheme is utilized in
some of the larger cities of the coun-
try, and works we'll But the contend
such agreement, and the effort was
abandoned.

DANGEROUS SURGERY
Should Be the Last Resort.

Many people suffer from piles, be-
cause after trying various lotions,
SalYes and ointmentS without relief or
cure. they come to the conclusion that
a surgical operation is the last resort
and rather than submit to the shock
and risk to life of an operation prefer
to suffer on; very often, however, the
afflicted one is persuaded to resort TO
the knife, and even though the opera
ton is apparently successful, and there
is complete recovery from the shock in
cident thereto, the result is invariab bly,
tile same: the piles sooner or later re-
turn, because their cause has not been
removed. This result is a logical one
inasumch as the knife removes the
effects of the disease only while the
cause remains as before. There is
claimed to be a remedy which does re-
move the cause, hence eradica ting the
disease, and that is the Pyramid Pile
itory, is applied directly to the parts
affected, and brings about a complete
cure. quietly and painlessly. In this
connection the testimony of Mr. John
Cullen Bryant, the well known book
seller of Haverhill, Mass. is of unusual
interest.
u desire to contribute an unsolicited
but purely voluntary testimonial in IA
vor of Pyramid Pile Cure. 1 have suf-
fered for more than twenty years with
hemorfhoid and have consulted nu-
merous physicians and expended a great
deal of money for medicines that did
me no good. I had often seen Pyramid
Pile Cure advertised, but hesitated for
months before buying same, thinking it
merit; but having tried every other
remedy prescribed I was finally per-
suaded one year ago to try Pyramid
Pile Cure. / bought a so cent package
at the drug store, and while / may moi
be permanently cured, the past year has
been the only year of my life worth
liz ing during the past twenty years,
and nothing but the Pyramid remedies
have wrought this change. I offer this
testimony for the benefit of suffering
humanity"

LULING CALLED DOWN.
Mayor T. j. Anderson Shows
Him the Figures.

Major T. ). Anderson today prepared
a table of figures in REPUTATION of state
ments made by Charles Luling in an
interview in a Kansas City paper of
this morning in regard to the alleged
superiority of the Sedgwick town over
Topeka.
The interview which is responsible for
the ire of Major Anderson follows:
Representative Charles Luling, Of
Sedgwlck county, can always be found
standing up for Wichita. The figures
given out recently by some Topeka
temperance advocates. showing that
Wichita. had decreased in manufactur-
ing during the past ten years. are alb
solutely false said he. Wichita has
been growing wonderfully. We have
got more new wholesale houses and
manufactures in the past five years
than Topeka has altogether. We have
more factories and wholesale houses
right now than Topeka ever will have.
More real estate changes hands in
wichita in week than does in Topeka
in month. Land values in Wichita
nave increased three times as much as
they nave in Topeka during the past
nve years. If the Prohibitionists want
to use comparisons to bolster up their
position, they had better avoid compar-
ing Topeka and Wichita"
The figures referred to were given out
py temperance advocates. They We're
hardly correct and did not make Just
comparisons They were intended to
show that because Topeka has been a
prohibition town it is far in advance of
Wichita, wet town
Major T. J. Anderson gave out the fol-
lowing interview on the subject today:
Il have not read the figures given out
recently by some Topeka temperance
advocates L did not know that sWich-
tia had decreased in manufacturing
during the past ten years 1 do not
know about the new wholesale houses
in Wichita. neither do 1 know much
about Wichita real estate, but when
Brother Iuling talks about wichita
having more factories right now than
Topeka will ever have. he is evidently
conversing through his head gear.
THE following comparisons taken
from the United States census of 1900
might interest Bro. Luling if he has the
time to read them"

PROSPERITY AND SHORT CROP.

Prosperity at home and depression
abroad are cited as the principal causes
Of the continued fall in the expor tation
of manufactures of iron and steel. Two
items in the exports of the United
States now show a marked reduction
compared with those of last year-corn.
and manufactures of iron and steel
Expectations of corn in the eight
months ending with February, 1902,
amounted, according to the preliminary
figures of the bureau of statistics, just
issued. TO only 20. 912, S75 bushels, against
132.624.S59 bushels in the corresponding
months of the preceding fiscal year, the
value being in the eight months ending
with February. 1902. $13eS3. 200. against
$50 621. $50 last year, reduction in this
single item of SAC 92S, 1862 This reduc-
tion. of course. was caused by the short
age in the corn crop due to the drouth
of last summer.
The other important item in which
a reduction is apparent is manufac-
lures of iron and steel The exports
under this head are for the seven
months ending with January, 1902, I6
million dollars below those of the CORE
spending months of last year, being $751;
310.12 for the seven months ending
with January. 1901. This decrease in
the value of iron and steel exports is
said by those interested in the iron and
steel industry of the United States to be
as easily explained as the decrease in
the expectations of corn.
The cause of the phenomenal growth
in the exports of iron and steel manu-
features within the past few years was
the depression existing in the home
market from 1893 to 1897, by which the
demands upon American manufacturers
were small and which condition was inn
mediately followed by unusual demands
for iron and steel manufactures abroad
thus enabling the American manufac-
turer to enter >he markets of those
countries. At the present time condi-
tons are, to a considered BILE extent, re-
versed, the demand abroad being con-
siderably reduced and that of the home
market. according to the best authori-
ties in iron and steel matters. being alb
sOlutely in excess of the producing ca
pacity of the iron manufacturers and of
the railroads to handle the products so
demanded. The result is that the manu-
facturers are naturally turning their
attention to the supply of the home
market; and in certain classes of their
products. notably pig iron. steel rails.
steel plates and structural steel, there is
a considerable decline in exports, which
may be expected to continue as long as
the home demand equals or exceeds as
at present, the producing capacity of
the manufacturers and the carrying ca
pacity of the railroads. In other lines
of iron and steel the expectations con-
tinue at about the former figure. espe-
cially in agricultural machinery, tools,
builders hardware, etc.
