CHARGES MADE AGAINST KLoPP
Protest Filed by Printers over EN-
plOyment of NOnuniOn
Men.

An overture TO the threatened fight be-
tween the local Typothetae and the job
printers over the eight-hour day and open
shop propositions was played Monday
morning when President X. S. Fisher and
the executive committee OF the Typograph-
ical union waited upon the Typothetae and
filed charges that the Klopp & Bartlett
Co is violating the agreement which eN-
pires October s. This firm is accused
Of having nonunion printers in its serv-
ice. Several men. 1t is alleged who do
not belong TO the union are working
in the establishment, although the agree
ment specifically provides to the contrary
The men in issue have filed application for
admission to the union. but the latter
claims undue delay to completing the trans
action. The matter was taken under ad-
visement by. the Typothetae.
Not guilty" said A. T. Klopp when
questioned In accordance with the terms
Of the agreement l shall ask for a settle
ment by arbitration by a Joint board from
the union and the Typothetae. I have not
violated the contract and do not propose
to have the question settled by the union.
This move may or not be for the purpose
of precipitating the strike in Omaha before
October 3 Anyway it comes, however,
the employers are prepared for a finish
fight"
The Klopp & Bartlett Co, according to
Mr.. Klopp himself, has been among the
most active members OF the Typothetae
in arranging to resist the demands of the
union. One OF the master printers declared
that the day after a walk-out of the
printers would see this shop and most
of the other big ones Of the city running
at almost fun capacity.
Later in the day the Typothetae held a
meeting and decided to reply to the COM
plant of the printers to the effect that
the Klopp & Bartlett company had denied
the charges and that the Typothetae would
not take further action without the sub
mission OF additional information. No ref
erence will be made to arbitration in the
response.

of the vessels. There was also a beautiful
electrical display at the torpedo station.

NEGRO PUPILS ARE EXCLUDED
Friction over Enforcement of Law
Separating Races In schools
at Kansas city, Kan.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Sept. u.-Negro
pupils were refused admission to the white
high school at Kansas City, Kas., and the
ward school at Bonner Springs, Kas., ten
miles distant, today. In both cases the
negroes withdrew quietly and there was
no show of a clash In Kansas City, Kas.,
it is said the negroes will test the case
in the courts.
The Kansas Legislature last winter passed
an act separating the races in the Kansas
City school, a direct result OF agitation fol-
lowing the murder of a white boy by
negro pupil. Bonds were voted to build
a school for the negroes, and pending the
erection OF the structure the board Of edu-
cation planned TO have two sessions daily
al the white school. that in the morning
for the white children and the session in
the afternoon for the negroes. The negroes
objected, preferring to sit with the whites.
At Bonner Springs, the school board ar
ranged separate rooms for the whites and
the negroes, but to this the negroes OBJ
jected, protesting that they should occupy
rooms simultaneously with the white child
rem. At Bonner Springs the negro children
were accompanied to school by their par
ents.

RATE OF DISCOUNT ADVANCED
Imperial Bank Of Germany Raises
Price for Loans from Three TO
Four Per Cent.

BERLIN, Sept 1.-THE rate of discount
of the Imperial bank of Germany was
raised from to 4 per cent today.
The controlling reason for raising the
rate was the comparative weakness of the
banks reserves owing to the heavy de-
mands of industry and trade and to specu-
lation on the bourse.
In proposing the increase Vice President
Gallenkamp pointed out that the gold stock
of the bank had been steadily declining for
some months, having been reduced about
q. 10000 since June %, and that it was now
at the lowest for this year
One member OF the central committee re-
ferring to the state of foreign exchange
said that gold would be more likely TO
come from London TO Berlin than vice
versa, while on the other hand gold would
be likely to leave Germany for New York
in payment for cotton and for American
securities bought by Germans. This he
said was regarded as an additional reason
for advancing the rate.
While the discount rate in the open
market has been tending strongly upward
for week, banks are not inclined to look
up money in bills, and money on call has
grown more abundant and easier
1t is expected that demands for money
at the end Of the month will be unusually
heavy.

The fact that the general mass Of the
people are not working with the same zeal
that marked the earlier stages Of the fight
is given by the authorities as one of the
reasons why yellow fever here is not de-
clining steadily as 1t was a couple Of weeks
ago. The death rate continues to be eX-
ceedingly low because the fever IS now
only occasionally found among the Italians
Of the city. but there are more new cases
reported daily than the Marine hospital au-
thorities expected would be the case at this
time. Over-confdence Is responsible for the
check in the excellent progress heretofore
made.
The situation at Tallulah and Lake Provi-
dence is now causing the State Board OF
Health more concern than anywhere else in
the state. The fact that DR.. Tichenor has
asked to be withdrawn from the former
place has brought to light the demoralized
condition OF affairs that prevails there. The
town is Of less than 1000 population, but
the fever is generally distributed over 1t in

scientific help to handle all who are Ill.
