Movement Started for Semi
Monthly Pay Days in Kansas.
Lines Entering Fort Scott Re-
lease State Wide Petition.
FOR LIVING EXPENSES
Employees Claim They Cannot
Keep Out OF Debt.
Topeka Rail Men Have Been
Planning Similar Action.

A movement for a semimonthly rail-
road pay day law in Kansas has been
started by a number of the local en-
ployees of the different roads in Fort
Scott, and they are asking the cooper
alton of the merchants Of the city in
an effort to interest the state legis-
lators in such law. To this end they
have issued an open letter addressed
To Merchants and All Concerned
setting out the acts and asking their
support. The letter is as follows:
1t is a well known fact that business
men cannot maintain cash business
where they are dependent upon rail-
readers, etc, who are paid monthly or
the latter part on one month for what
they have earned the month previous
"A man entering the service of
company as above is compelled TO
wait from As days to so days before he
can draw a cent, if he starts on the
first Of the month. Not 10 per cent OF
the employees entering the service
have sufficient means to carry them
selves this long, hence the merchants
states this question has been settled for
all time with state law which re-
quires a weekly pay day.
Even Arkansas has a semimonthly
pay day law. Surely Kansas cannot
lose sight of these facts The en-
or even weekly if given the oppor-
tunity, or a large majority of them.
They have made the money, you have
delivered the goods and most of your
goods are consumed. but the money is
held up from us both.
THE merchant gets the long end Of
the rope. 1t is both the business man
and the employees business alike to
demand the passage of a law calling
for a weekly pay day. Railroads IN
Kansas are not different to other
states. Where this law is in effect they
had no calamity over it and now all
like it. It would be the same in Kan
sas.
THE fact that schedules of pay are
rated by the month does not signify
anything. If our pay was rated by the
year it does not prevent us from being
paid monthly, weekly or even daily
pro rata.
1.-The greatest calamity would be that
we would get the use of vast amount
of money which belongs to us and i
being held by the railroad companies
from 80 to As days. The extra work Of
getting out the pay rolls does not
1nent against it. If we all get busy
and demand mot ask that such a law
he passed it will be done. Make it
known to every representative and de-
mand it. then if we are turned down
we will know the people no longer
have A voice in the government. The
employees are willing to do their part
in making this demand on the next
legislature"
Employees of the Santa Fe and Rock
Island in Topeka have taken no action
in this matter but it is known that Il
petition of this character has been
planned for some time.
