PRAISE FOR NATION

Was Given by Senator Curtis
with Appreciation for Kan
Sas Pioneers.

"The representative of the United
States in any il t9rnational confer

of the table even though the table
be circular" said Senator Charles
Curtis In his address Friday even
ing in speaking of the present world
influence of this nation. "Some
people seem 10 think this govern

but believe that it must keep on at
the same gait if it is to carry out
Gods purpose for it," To illus
trate the importance of this nation
in world affairs, Senator Curtis re
ferred to the honors accorded to
Grant, Roosevelt and Taft on their
foreign tours when private citizens

Then liquor was sold in the res'au
rants Of the House and Senate
Now there IS none, and you woulC

GLASS Plant TURNS
OUT ITS FIRES
AS a Result of the Refusal
Of Its Employees to
Accept Reduction.
ALL PLANTS IN STATE
May Cease Operations Within
Ten Days as Result of
Conferences.


The West Fork window glass fac
tory is idle as the result OF a mis-
understanding between the company
and men over wages.
With the fires turned out. 15t
employees of the West Fork did MOI
go to work Sunday midnight. Motif
cation was given by the company
Sunday that the men would have tc
accept a reduction OF wages OF from
fifteen to sixteen per cent, 1t il
claimed. and they refused to do SO
dependent upon action to be taken
by their national officers, and the
company then turned out the fires
The employees took the position
that they would have no right 10
accept reduction of wages until
ordered to do so by the national Of
ficers of their association and that
to do so would be to disregard theii
union and promote the private
agreemen plan OF wages. They
asked that they be paid the regular
scale until the settlement Tuesday,
BY which time the national officers
would have the matter before them.
The company declined to do this,
the men refused to accept The wage
reduction and the company then
turned out the factory fires.
The action OF the company in ask
ing for reduction Of wages is said
to have been based on six per cent
reduction by the American Window
Glass Company in the market price
OF glass. This reduction was made
Friday.
The action of the West Fork Win.
dow Glass Company followed con
ference here of the window glass
manufacturers OF West Virginia, the
last of which was held Saturday
night, when a resolution was
adopted concerning the wage scale
and committee appointed to confer
with Joseph Neenan. of Cleveland
o., president of the National Window
Glass Workers.
Leading window glass workers
here believe the action of the West
Fork is a forerunner OF concerted
plan of the West Virginia manurac.
turers to abrogate the union wage
agreement and to employ the private
agreement plan hereafter. They ex.
press .he opinion that should thai
be the case every window glass fac,
tory in the state will be idle within
ton Lays.

house by a splinter of hell" said the
minister to the captain.
Serves you right" answered Cou-
ceiro, roughly, your place was in
the street"
When the monarchist regime was
definitely ended Couceiro was not mo-
Tested by the Republicans. The new
War Minister, Colonel Barreto, even
offered him a higher grade, which at
first he accepted, but soon gave up to
work for the cause of the king.
One day before a group of soldiers
the captain had lively alteration
with Colonel Barreto.

ceiro abruptly. turning to the men.
