SHELTER MEN STRIKE.
Gas City Furnace Workers to the
Number of 40 Are Out

lola. Kan. Sept. 1.-THE furnaces
of the Prime Western Smelter works
No. at Gas City are on dead fire to-
day as a result of the twenty connie
cleaners walking out. The connie"
cleaners said they must have a raise
of thirty cents day in salary or $3.50
per day for their work. They now re-
ceive $3.50 a day. AS result the
furnaces are on dead fire and one
hundred and forty furnace men are
out of employment. The furnace men
are said to be willing to go back to
work today if it is possible to get more
connie cleaners to take the place of
the ones who struck for higher wages.
The connie cleaners say that they
are asked to do more work than here
tofore with the same pay. which they
refuse to do. According to one of the
mon who went out. boys have been
employed as helpers and were paid
fifty cents per day, but since school
began most of these boys have quit
and entered school. And now the
connie cleaners say they are re-
quired to do the work the boys did
without extra pay.
While this strike is confined to No.
2 works at the present time, the men
say that if the matter is not settled
soon the connie" cleaners at No. 1
works will go out also.
This strike, if continued any length
of time, may throw at least three hum
bred men out of employment.

Financiers Declare the Prevailing

New York, Sept. 1.-Two promi-

uneasiness.
Sir William Van Horne, chairman of
the board of directors of the Canada n

The time has come when Wall

North America. Business will go
ahead, Wall street Notwithstanding.
of course, it is easy to predict any
thing Tight money might be the re-
suit of two things; it might come from
lack of credit or because of the active
conditions, the great activity in trade
The present tightness is caused by the
latter condition. but it is not hurting
anybody,
Richard c. Kerens. the St. Louis
financier, said:
"A year ago the country was at
f1oodtide of its greatest industrial pros
perity. Then came a scarcity of labor
followed by stringent money conditions
and recession in building and kim
dred enterprises. But this should not
be called a depression.

that the worst has been passed for this

to the pool room for drinking purposes.
After arresting the men, the police pick
ed up a number of empty bottles found
in the pool room, and brought them
along for evidence.
1t appears that the police are up
against it. In the past it has been Gus
tomary to ''vag" every one who happen
ed to disagree with the administration
or otherwise offend the police The Off
GERS held that a charge of vagrancy fit
most everybody. Acting on this theory
they arrested Frank Lawson, a person
who tolls to no great extent. They
thought of course they could stick him
on the charge, but they didn't. Lawson,
instead of pleading guilty, gave bond
and hired a lawyer. His hearing was
held in police court last evening. The
officers testified that Lawson was a
non-toiler.
Then the attorney for the defense
opened a law book at the proper place
and asked: Did you catch this defend

The officers in turn admitted that
none of these conditions prevailed when
they grabbed Lawson as he stood on

and the incident was closed.
At the same session the prosecut-
ing attorney decided that the
police didn't have sufficient
evidence against Frank Buck
master whom they had arrested on
view for running a joint. They found
a case of beer in barn on his prem
ises, but had no proof that he owned the
brew. Therefore Buckmaster was dis
charged without trial.
