Furnace Men at CherryvaIe Have
Grievances.
Two Hundred Men Lay Down
Tools and Walk Out.
rnnrNEAN IC APRECTED
FOREMAN is ARRESTED
Charges That Money Was I'm
lawfully ExtOrted.
Labor Commissioner Johnson
Investigating the Case.

Cherryvale Kan. April 26.-The
two hundred furnace men at the
sneiter. who walked out of the works
and refused to return to the plant un-
til their grievances were settled are
still out and very determined.
A committee representing the strik-
ers waited on Mr.. Edgar at the smelter
to adjust matters but at the conclusion
of the interview a settlement was not
made
The furnace men are demanding
that IS additional men be placed on the
furnaces for a half shift. and that they
be paid S1.75 per shift instead of $40
as they now receive. It is also claimed
that Fisher insulted all the boys on
the furnaces Monday morning, and
now they are retaliating by demanding
his removal and say that they will not
work under him another day under
any circumstances.
The workmen claim they have been
imposed upon by Foreman Fisher and
they insist that his discharge viii be
necessary before they viii return to
work. The trouble has been brewing
for some time between the foreman
and his workmen and has now reached
q climax.
Mr.. Edgar is making a thorough IN
vestigation Of the affair and will take
action in the matter at once.
Last evening a warrant was sworn
out for him charging him with unlaw
fully extOrting money from the smelt-
er employees and it is said other
charges Will be made
Fisher was arraigned before Justice
Courtney last night and waived pre-
hminary hearing. giving bond in the
sum of $500 for his appearance in
justice court on the above charge
April 26th.
This is the only new development in
the strike and all the men are still out
as the operators refuse to grant the re-
quests made by the committee OF
strikers.

COD LIVER OIL.

It almost makes you
sick to think Of it, but it
isn't nearly as bad as it
used to be. The improved
method of refining it
makes it much easier to
take, and when made into
SCOTS Emulsion almost
every one can take it.
Most children like it and
all children that are not
robust are benefited by it.
When the doctor says
take cod liver oil, he
generally means Scott S
Emulsion; ask him if he
doesn't. They know it is
more easily digested and
better than the plain oil.

DO NOT FEAR FOR BUSINESS.
OmciaIs Think Coast Traffic VIII Be
Heavy This Season.

Passenger officials of the transconti-
mental lines are beginning to lay plans
for the summer business to the Pacific
coast, which al first was thought to be
greatly injured by the earthquake and
fire at San Francisco. While some Of
them believe chat the traffic will not
be so heavy as it otherwise would have
been. others believe that the morbid
curiosity of the average American will
take enough of them to San Francisco
to view the ruins to make up for any
other decrease resultant from the dis
asteT.
II believe that the business for the
coast this year Will be as great in the
aggregate as it zsould have been If there
had been no earthquake" said one Of
fetal The American people are noted
for their curiosity, and thousands will
go to the coast for tour with the
added fascination of viewing the ruins
at San Francisco.

BE Generally Excellent
Officials of the roads tapping the SOUTH
west say that reports from operating and
traffic agents show that various crops of
the southwestern territory are exception
ally large and in unusually good condi-
ton. The acreage is greater than last
year and the crops are in excess or the
proportfonate extension of the planting
Should present Indications realize upon
expectations the agricultural and horti-
cultural production will be so voluminous
and qualitative as to give decided accel-
Grafton to prevailing prosperity. The
southwestern roads will find use for all
their equipment, and probably for as
many additional cars as they can acquire,
in moving the crops Of Kansas, Missouri,
Oklahoma Indian Territory, Arkansas,
Texas and Louisiana
The movement of the berry crops OF
southwest Missouri and Arkansas will be-
gin this week. According to estimates
about 1900 car loads of berries will be
transported from this territory between
now and May 30. During these five weeks
about 120 special berry trains will be run
by the various roads. These trains will
be opera ted on fast schedules, making the
same time as passenger trains.
AS the berries are loaded and started in
the cars on the same day they are picked,
the railroads are obliged to render their
services methodically Cars are prom
ised to a certain district on a special day
The berries of that district are picked and
loaded on that day. The next day another
district is served in the same manner.
This system is maintained, working from
the south. where the berries ripen first
to the north, until the whole crop is
picked and transported
