tan Association gymnasium were op-
ened with a volley ball game last night
between the old time rivals, the Bush

It was the presence of so many OF the

determined. but anyway the Preach

nee bunch rolled up 81 points to the
Parsons Z.
The Students still lead the bunch at

OPPOSE REDUCTIONS.
State Labor Society Wants Freight
Rates Let Alone.

Following the action of the state
society OF labor and industry, in de-
feat1ng resolution No. 80 at it's closing
session at representative hall yester-
day, the senate board of railroad COM
m1ssioners was last evening presented
with a copy of a resolution protesting
against the proposed cut of 20 per
cent in freight rates. This con-
tempiated order of the board was the
subject OF an extended debate, in
which 1t became apparent that OPPOSE
ton to the proposed reduction was
based mainly upon the probable cut in
wages that would follow reduced
revenues, in conjunction with other
financial troubles, several of the labor
leaders being outspoken in their be-
lief that the matter should never have
been brought up in the convention.
and that the best thing to be done was
to let 1t die as quietly as possible.
Railroad men employed in the
mechanical and operating depart
ments, and coming as delegates to the
convention from all sections of the
state, held a caucus during the af-
ternoon and framed a formal protest
to be laid before the board, which Is
embodied in the following resolutions:
whereas. There is an order pend
Ing before the board of railroad COM
m1ss1oners to reduce the freight rates
on railroads about 20 per cent. and
Whereas, The reduction is believed
TO be unjust to the railroads, and
Whereas, There are $1,000 men in
the state depending upon the railroads
for their LIVELIHOOD and the support Of
their families, and
Whereas, We believe that If these
reductions continue a cut in our wages
is inevitable; therefore. be 1t
Resolved. That on account of the
unsettled business conditions through
out the country at this time. we deem
it inadvfsable for the board of rail-
road commissioners Of Kansas to
make orders looking for the further
reduction in the revenues of this
state. believing that 1t would be to the
best interests of labor that proceed
ings looking to the reduction of rail-
road revenues be postponed until the
business conditions of the country are
more favorable.

One Is Proposed to Be Held ut
Auditorium Soon.

Frank T. Miner. head Of the pipe

Organ company, at the Central Y. NJ.
c. A. last night. assume definite form
Topeka will in the near future have a
big concert in the Auditorium in which
school children in every school in the
city will participate.
Fifty men and women attended the
reception given Mr.. Miner last night
in Gemmeu hall. Prof. Miner made d
few remarks at the reception on re-
quest of John e. Frost who presided as
chairman. Musical Culture and Re-
lation to Municipal Government" was
based his remarks He pointed out the
many advantages which might accrue
to Topeka from her big organ, but
when he reflected that the organ had
years. he said that this was the greatest
crime which could be committed
against the organ. -
There are not ten men in the entire
country" said Prof. Miner, who can
compass all the possibilities of this
great organ which you have in your
city hall. I would. advise more use of
the organ in the future. I think tho
best plan which you could adopt would
be to have the school children inter-
ceive some competent instruction SO
that they can be enabled to give a con-
cert here at some early date. The
school children of today will be your
them in this great organ would be the
greatest thing you could do"
Prof Miner pointed out the fact
that Topeka was the only city in Amer
lea with a municipality owned organ,
and in this they were following In the
steps OF the older cities of learning on
the European continent.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Miners
talk several others were called upon
and without exception were heartily
In favor Of the plan as suggested by
Prof. Miner. Frank P. MacLennan
was very much in favor Of the pro-
posed plan. Frank H. Foster, who has
had charge of the various entertain
the organ, Joined in the approval of
the plan and also suggested Sunday
afternoon concerts at which a small
admission might be charged. He did
not think that these could be well ar
ranged at the present time in view of
the Sunday closing agitation.
Major Tom Anderson expressed him
self In favor Of the proposed plan but
advocated less classical music and
more which the people could under
stand. He told Of the jealousies among
the local musicians and cited this as
the reason for the disbanding of the
Choral society. United work and
popular music was what Major Ander-
son advocated.
Councilman q. Montgomery Of the
Fourth ward told of the attitude of
the council towards the pipe organ.
Much interest was displayed in all the
talks of the evening and II those in
authority will get busy before their
ardor is cooled of Topeka may soon
realize a method Of paying for her pipo
organ.
At the conclusion Of the programme,
refreshments were served and Mr.. Mil
ner was given an informal reception.
