THAT LABOR CASE.
Street Railway Injunction
Against Boycott on Trial.
Ezra Day, Organizer, on Stand
All Morning.

The injunction case of the Topeka
Railway company against Ezra Day,
member of the Amalgamated Labor
union, had it's first hearing this morn
! ing. Day spent the morning in the
witness box, and was caught mapping
| several times by T. F. Doran, attorney
for the railway. An injunction has
been served against Day, who is charg-
ed with causing articles harmful to
the railroad to be printed in the daily
press. Judge A. W. Dana of the dis
trict court is hearing the case, and
Ed McKeever is attorney for the labor
union.
Day lives in Kansas City, has been
connected with the railroads for
eight years, and was ordered to To-
peka June IL by the international
president
Days salary. McKeever objected, but
the objection was overruled, and IL
was ascertained that the man is earn
ing Sc a day, no expenses paid. Inc
attorney for the railway intends to
prove that this salary is not earned.

Patton Not Heartless Man.
He subsequently explained that he did
not consider Albert Patton heartless
man, and that he had a deep-seated
love for the laborers, but dared not
talk to them. for fear of their dis
charge. He then explained that he
did not consider their work simply
1-f y
as an attorneys.
"Ah," responded Doran, may 1 ask
how long you studied your profession
before you entered it?'
Day. was obliged to admit that he
had not studied it at all.
Statistics taken in Pittsburg, where
the union has an organization, were
quoted. The scale of wages in that
place is % cents per hour the first
year, 26 cents per hour the next; they
the Topeka railway receive from 20
cents to % cents per hour, and there
is no time limit.
1.-The men here get more than they
do in Pittsburg,'' observed Mr.. Doran.
THAT is not what we are contend
ing returned Day. 1--WE are working
for shorter hours
Doran produced a bundle of letters
issued by Day about June %, 1912,
and scored an interesting point.
Though Day had admitted he did not
consider Mr.. Patton a heartless man,
the literature referred to the manager
as a 'theartless and domineering man."
Day was obliged to concede that much
of the literature and newspaper arti
cles given out by him were composed
of "hot air.

THREE UNHAPPY.
These Wives Seek Divorce and Name
Charges of Cruelty.

Three petitions asking for DEGREES of
divorce were filed in the district court to-
day. The principal complaint in each
case is extreme cruelty and neglect.
A petition filed by Mayme Simmons,
who seeks a separation from George Sim
mons, states that George Simmons, the
defendant, has been guilty of extreme
cruelty and gross neglect, and further has
failed to provide for the plaintiff. The
defendant, it is alleged, is habitual
drunkard and can not obtain employment
for this reason. 1t is alleged farther by
the plaintiff that she has been compelled
to provide for and clothe herself for a
period of several years, and recently
pawned a watch and trunk to buy gro
ceries and other necessities. The plaintiff
asks for alimony and division of prop
erty.
Mrs. c. Brubaker asks for $1,000 ali
mony, suit money, attorney fees, and also
applies for a restraining order to prevent
H. Brubaker, the defendant, from dispos-
ing of property until a division of the
same is made. Extreme cruelty and neg-
lect is charged.
BERTHE Withers also brings a plea OF
cruelty and neglect, asking separation
from Elipah Withers and that she be re-
stored her maiden name, and other RELIEF
the court may grant.
