Vigorous steps are being taken by
the Iowa-Nebraska Coal Dealers as
sociatiOn to secure equitable arrange
ments with railroads on demurrage
charges. The plan proposed is to
have the roads guarantee to move
the coal shipments specified num-
Der of miles a day in transit or pay
damages to dealers for the delay. The
dealers are now charged 81 a day for

hung in effigy on the campus, AMI
eight members of the junior and
freshman classes have been suspend
ed, two of them for the remainder
Of the term, and the remaining six
until they are willing to tell all they
know with reference to the occur
renee. The two young men who have
bs,&l obliged to leave college for the
remainder of the college year are
Avery Brown of Indianola and Wilson
of Bedford. They are accused of
participating in the placing of the
colors where the college authorities
insist that they had no right TO be.

Indianola, Milton Yockey of Villisca
and Roy Curtis of Glenwood are the
other six affected by the orders of the
faculty. Orr, Shirley, jenkins and
Stanley are juniors and Yockey and
Curtis are members of the freshman
, class. Charles Peer of Dexter and
a member Of the senior class, is the
student an effigy of whom was found
dangling from a tree near the chapel
few mornings ago. Peer /. one OF
| the student janitors who was tied up
! during the raid on the chapel, and 1t
has been claimed in some quarters
that he was responsible for tipping
| off, some names to the faculty. Peer
| himself protests that he knows moth
ing about the affair. The rumor that
a junior-freshman protective league
had been formed has served to COM
plicate the situation. A number Of
those brought before the faculty OF
the college in the effort to determine
the parties implicated in the col
ors escarade absolutely refused to
talk. Threats of suspension, how.
ever, undermined the determination
of all except the six who are now
condemned to an enforced vacation
until they are willing to tell what
they know, If anything, regarding the
matter at hand.
