NEW YORK GOSSIP
WEEKLY RESUME OF
MEN AND EVENTS

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-The strike
microbes are on rampage in this cit,
ana the air is full OF them. Nearly
every day there Is either some new
strike. with or without provocation.
usually without. or there are at least
rumors of impending strikes. Net
enough that there are probably fifty
or sixty thousand men idle in the bui,d.
ing trades. about thirty thousand in
the garment manufacturing trade and
several thousand more in the meat
packing trade. new strikes are threat
ened, which would involve from five
to ten thousand more
There may be some merit in some
strikes, but others and the latter seem
TO be In the majority, are really with
out sumc1ent excuse. One OF the nag
rant examples is the strike which the
employees of the New York elevated
roads threaten to inaugurate when the
subway is opened to the public. The
men have no grievenee in particular
and demand neither shorter hours. nor
more pay; and yet they threaten with
a general strike. The reasons, which
prompts the men are decidedly peculiar.
There was a time, when the motive
power of the elevated roads was steam.
The engineers formed a union which
became q branch OF the brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers. After a while
the motive power was changed to cleo
tricity. To pacify' the engineers, who
rebelled against the innovation, which
threatened to drive them out of their
positions. the company promised to
give the fomer engineers, who became
motormen, that. in filling the new posi-
lions they would be given the first
chance and preference. The change
vas effected without Trouble. Now. it
seems. that many of the motormen
were anxious to get positions on the
subway system, not because the hours
are shorter or the pay better, but mere
~ for a change.
Nothing was said or done, until the
marlborough Company began to en-
gage motormen for the subway system
Then the trouble began. The motormen
insisted that the company had made
the promise to give its employees on the
elevated system the preference. but had
violated that promise. The company
denied that such promise had beer
made in reference to filling positions
on the subway system and refused to
listen to the protests of the Brother
hood Of Locomotive Engineers. The
employees felt very indignant and held
a meeting in which they declared to &C
out in body. unless the company
should adhere to it's promise. The
trouble has been patched up temper.
arily. but it is by no means permanest.
~ settled and the danger of a strike /,
by no means entirely eliminated.

HOLIDAY is AFRAID.
eFars That Gas Trust Won't Accept
the Franchise.

Il expect to have as hard a time con-
vinc1ng Mr.. Brady to accept this gas
franchise as did having the council to
accept it," said G. K. Holiday, presi-
dent of the gas company, today. THE
council cut the ordinance to pieces so
much that it is doubtful whether the
company will accept it. 20
This talk of the mayors that he may
possibly veto the ordinance makes me
tired That is a very favorable or
d1nance to the city, and the city ought
to be satisfied. if the gas company can
be induced to approve the ordinance as
passed. This ordinance was thrashed
over three times in the committee, was
printed in all the papers, and was con-
sidered more carefully by the council
than any other ordinance which has
been brought before that body. 1t was
opposed by three councilmen only on
the ground that they wanted more time
for consideration. There was no other
objection made to 1T. The people of
Topeka are for it. If we could have a
mass meeting of our citizens over there
in the Auditorium, 1 could get a big
ger majority there for the ordinance
than we had in the council
If the mayor vetoes the gas franchise,
which he has the right to do any time
within 80 days, it is likely that it could
not be passed over his veto. Council
man Ryder, who voted for the ordi-
nance, would almost certainly change
his vote. and this would break the
three-fourths necessary to carry the
PROJECT over the mayors veto.
1t may be difficult to get a quorum
of the council for any business until the
September meeting. Councilmen Green,
Griley. Nellis and Hughes are all ex-
pecting to be away from the city for
some time. and probably other mem
bers will also take their vacations this
month. 1a tttHa
lone of the reasons we had to hurry
this gas franchise through says Mr..
sis because so many of the
councilmen were going away. and to
have postponed action at the last
council meeting would have been to tie
the whole thing up till fall. We could
not wait for that"

NOT FOR DEMOCRATS.
Geo. w. Hanna Leads nti-Fusionists
From Clay.

George w. Hanna, former state sem
ator from Clay county. says that If the
Populists cannot have an independent
ticket.
"Clay county will stand for fusion
on an independent ticket" he said.
but we won't vote for anything in the
Democratic column. I would vote for
Roosevelt before I would for Parker.
/ would like to vote for Dale for gov
ernor, and I think his platform adopt
ed at the Sedgwick county convention
is good enough for any man except
the Parker part of it. We Populists
can't and won't stand for an endorse
ment of Parker. Endorsing Parker
and then sugar coating it with the
initiative and referendum won't
catch U.S."

to find out what we have got in the
way of gas and oil. The contract for
drilling three holes has been let to
a professional driller named Kestevan,
who for five years has been drilling
holes at Independence and vicinity. We
expect to go down 1000 if necessary,
but we expect to find gas or oil at
900 or 1000 feet. Mr.. Kestevan SAYS
this is just as promising oil territory
as ever he saw, and he agrees to be-
gin work on August Is, and have the
first hole completed by September l.
I'VE can't tell ON just what farms
we Will do our drilling, or where our
wells will be located. That is what

COAL RATE is OFF.
That Put in for Emergency Has Been
Cancelled.

The emergency freight rate which
reduced the rate of coal IS cents per
ton since May 1, to Topeka from mines
in Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas. was
revoked on Tuesday, which means that
the rate of last winter is again eff
fective.
This reduction was put on SO as to
enable jobbers to haul in quantities of
coal for the winter use and also to
provide threshers with fuel at a cheap
rate. 1t is customary to make such
a reduction every summer and it usu-
ally is put on for three months as was
done this year.
Dealers say that they now have
plenty of coal on their hands and
there is no danger of repetition of
last years tie-up Then when peopIe
began to lay in their supply of win
ters coal the railroads We're complete
ly tied up with coal shipments. the
mines were overrun with demands and
it was impossible to supply the mar
ket. The prices went up, and even
then the consumers could not get what
was needed. The railroads confiscated
what coal there was in Transportation
for their own needs.
