SAYS 4 LABOR OFFICIAL
Meanwhile He Indulges in Some Pretty Strong Talk Himself. An Early Con ference Over Situation on Hartman Lines.

Kansas City, Aug. 25.-M F. Ryan. the international president of the Brotherhood of Railway Carmen said late today that the time and place of tween the Hartman officials and a committee from the international shopmen's unions would probably be decided tomorrow. He believed thc conference would be held about the middle of next week.
 Understand. We are making and have made no threats to strike" said Ryan. The only strike talk I have heard has been coming from Julius kruttschnitt in the last three weeks. \ strike is always a possibility, of course, but it is to be considered only as a last resort in case the Harri- man heads leave us no alternative. The concession We ask is nothing but plain business proposition such as a majority of the big railroad systems have already agreed to. The idea is to save the unions and the railroads of the Hartman system money. time and trouble under plan whereby all five unions in treating with the roads may be represented by one committee. Heretofore the Hartman system has shown disposition to play one union gainst another
 J. A Franklin, international presi- dent of the boilermakers said tonight after a long distance telephonetalk with J. W. Kline, president of the blacksmiths in Chicago that Kline was arranging to hold a conference with Kruttschnitt and five interna- tional presidents.

.DEL|NQUENTs MUST PAY UP
Otherwise They Cannot Share In Stored Supply And Must Pay Extra For Delivery of Their Share of Normal Flow.

September l is the date for buying winter water of the reclamation ser vice and notices are now being pre- pared to be sent to the ranchers by the water service department. to that ef- feet It is therefore very timely to remind water users in the valley who are members of the association and in arrears in their payments. that it will be necessary for them to square them l selves with the association or they will be unable to buy reservoir water at all and only their proportion of water due under their priorities ad- judicated by the courts and that only at a price 25 per cent higher than the charge made tO members of the assO- citation.
 These facts are not new as they are all set forth in the laws govern ing the association and the distribution ! of water. but they may not be under stood by some. or may have been forgotten by some who once under stood them. When lands become de- ! linquent in their payment to the as-
 
 to water than lands not within it. un- til they pay their penalties and get | the record clear The privileges of | land outside the association are only those vested rights that have been settled by law and which tine as:io- citation C..n mot take away. They in clude the right to their proportionate part of whatever flowing water there may be in the river during the sea son but to no part of the stored water. and the government though 1t cannot withhold this water can fix it's own charge for delivering it through the government ditches, and that charge is 25 per cent more than to the association members in good standing
 About 12.5OO acres of land was de- linquent in the payment of last years assessment of the association and went to sale. SoTc of 1t has since been redeemed. M,-e pf it doubtless will be in the next week CT so and all of it will have to be be- fore it gets water on the best terms and the assurance of an ample supply of it.
 
 laws adopted this year two improve ments have been made in the ma chinery of the association. One is that the association is privileged tp carry the delinquent lands if there is no offer on the part of the public to buy the associations claim. That keeps the land from having it's titles encountered which is a distinct 't1- vantage to the man who owns the land. The other advantage is tO the association enabling it to secure the penalties of the memb"c's delin- quency. instead of the money being made by an investor.
 The delinquent lands are offered for sale two days in succession If there arc no buyers the l-eusUrc" is authorized to adjourn the sale for one month wher he can reOffer 1t unless the board of governors directs otherwise Then if there is no offer to purchase. the associati)I can carry the delinquency. making the two per cent per month profit during the term of delinquency. Nobody is spit ing the association therefore by re fusing to settle up. The association is making big interest all the time And the debt must be paid before the lands are reinstated and get water in full quantity and at minimum rates.
