BUCKALEW FAILS
Mr.. Kendrick Refused to Treat With
Him.

]. D. Buckalew, third vice president
of the International Association of Ma
chiniSts, who took charge of the Santa
Fe strike when it was first declared at
the company's shops in Topeka, return
ed Wednesday night from a. weeks trip
over the eastern lines of the road.
While away Mr.. BuckaIew went to Chi
cagO and underworld to arrange a set
Element with J. W. Kendrick but the
latter refused to negotiate with him.
L called on Mr.. Kendrick twice." said
Mr.. BuckaleW-' once on Saturday and
another time on the following Mon
day. Both times he refused to consider
the proposition 1 submitted. Nothing
was gained by the interview, and it be
gins to look as we would have to accept
the cue given by the company and fight
it out to a finish. It is curious though,
that the company will not even submit
to the arbitration of the differences now
existing between the men and the Of
ficials. That is the usual custom and
a fair way to settle the matter, but the
company will not listen to it."
Mr.. Buckalew said there was no pros
poets of an early settlement in view of
the fact that the company had refused
to meet them half way. He said that
the strike might drag along for many
months but that he never had been
licked and he wasn't going TO be-"
However" said he I do not wish to
cripple their business, nor cause the
breach to widen between the company
and the men. All 7 ask for is a fair
settlement OF the present trouble w men
that is accomplished l will have car
ried my purpose"
Mr.. Buckalew said that he knew very
little regarding the conditions on the
west end further than that the boiler
makers were expected to strike at any
time. Il am in close touch with the
conditions oT the east end, however"
said Mr.. Buckalew, and am thorough
ly satisfied with them
Mr. Buckalew will remain in Topeka
until Saturday when he will leave for
Newton and other points west of here.
He expects to go as far west as Point
Richmond. Cal. In the meantime he
will devote most of his attention to
the local union. He addressed the
members at i closed meeting this
morning and will speak to them to
night. The evening meeting will also
be he. ! privately.
When BuckaleW returned from Chi
cago he was accompanied by a. E. Ire
land, general organizer of the American
Federation of Labor. Mr.. Ireland has
established headquarters at the OK
ford hotel and will take charge of the
men on the east end of the road as soon
as Buckalew leaves. On the west end
w. c. Smith, of San BeTnardinO will
conduct the strike and Buckalew will
act as sort of a go-between-

Center, where his wife's folks live,

had given me to understand that we
would go from here to Joplin, Car

Instead he skipped out without say

LARGEST BASS ON RECORD

Mr. CIarlx's specially is bass II IS

But this is about Mr.. Clark's latest
exploit On Wednesday at Lake View
he hooked and landed y pound
plymouth black bass, which is not
only the largest bass ever caught at
Lake View, but is believed to be the
largest bass ever caught in Kansas
There is no record of a larger one
Mr. clark is an extremely modest
man. and he is especially so about his
personal achieven ents as a fisherman,
so it was difficult to get the details of
his latest catch. He said that he WAS
using sunssh for bait and that the
strike was made about twenty feet
from the shore. Il do not know how

GOV. BAILEY TO HELP
Asks President Roosevelt for Escort
of Regular Troops.

Major T. ]. Anderson, secretary of
the Semi Centennial committee called
upon Governor Bailey Wednesday af-
ternoon with reference to getting troops
from Fort Riley or Fort Leavenworth
to Topeka during the big festivities as
an escort to Secretary of War Taft.
The chief executive at once took up
the matter and forwarded a telegram
to President Roosevelt pointing out
why the troops should be sent. 1t is
likely that they will be ordered to come
here.
The matter was first called to the at
tention of Secretary of War Taft him
self but he declined an escort of reg
ulars." He probably did that, think
the Semi Centennial managers be-
cause of n1odesty, hut they feel that
the soldiers ought torbe here and will
leave no. stone unturned to get them
There will be battalion of artillery
here on the night of June 3, but by
that time the celebration will be-over.
The battalion is going through Topeka
on some of its maneuyers and has adj
vertised for forage.
