LABOR SUIT FILED.
Unions Go to Court Against Street Car
Company Under Coercion Law.

A suit brought under the Kansas
coercion law, in which the Topeka Rail
way company is charged with demand
ing a verbal agreement not to unite
with a union before giving employment
to V. v. Dart, was filed by County
Attorney Ernest E. Simon in the dis
trict court this morning. The suit is
an outgrowth of trouble between the
Topeka Railway company and Ezra
Day, labor organizer, who came here
nearly two months ago to organize the
street car men.
The complaint and information
charges that the defendant company
demanded and Influenced Dart to enter
into a verbal agreement not to join or
become a. rnemHer of the Amalgainated
Association of Street and Electric Rail-
way Employees of America. The agree
ment, the Information charges, was
made a condition to securing employ
ment.
Dart says he engaged in the CONVEX
sation with General Manager Albert
Patten complained of on June "a, and
that he entered the employ of the street
railway June 20. July %, he said, he
was told his services would not be
needed any longer.
In talking to a reporter for the State
Journal this morning Dart said he
asked for job partly to find out what
WAS it your idea to bring this case
when you went to ask for a job?" the
reporter asked.
Yes. that was one reason I went
down there" Dart said. Il needed the
work. but 1 also wanted to find out
whether l would have to promise not
to join the union before 1 went to
work"
Ezra Day, the labor organizer, then
took hand in the conversation.
Nobody on the outside could find
out anything about this phase of the
situation he said. "Such information
would have to come from someone
who was an employee, or who had at
least asked for a job"
Officers of the railway company say
Dart was discharged on account of his
police record. He was arrested some
time ago for violating the pure food
law in cafe he was running at the
transfer station, and last winter he
was arrested by the police charged
with keeping disorderly house at the
Socialist club on East Sixth street. He
was convicted in the police court and
the case now is pending on appeal to
the district court.
''The fact that Dart was discharged
has nothing to do with this case, Day
told Interpreter. what we complain
of is that men must agree not to join
a union before they are given employ
ment That is contrary to the law"
The action is brought under chapter
So, section 1914, general statutes of
1909, prohibiting an employer from
demanding or Influencing an employee
to make a contract not to become
member of a union.
The action follows close on the heels
of an attempt on the part of the rail-
way company to secure an Injunction,
restraining a threatened attempt at a
boycott against the company, and an
assault on Attorney Edwin D. Nc
Keever and Dart last Friday by Walter
w. Stogsdi1l, a motorman, following
an alteration.

MOTORCYCLE MIKE
He Is Back Home Safe From
PeriIous Voyage.
Carl BOImar Subsisted on Mo-
tor Tires in Colorado.


Gasping for breath, his tongue, 81
fenced for the first time in years,
hanging limp from his mouth, and
his face and head glistening from
heat and classify de-
scriptive, h?-ssMotorcycle Mike"
Bolmar, known in Potwin as Carl
Bolmar, returned today from trip
on his pop-pop to Colorado.
For two weeks our hero has been
out in the wilds of western Kansas
and eastern Colorado. Sometimes he
had nothing to drink but the gaso-
line in his engine tank. And all he
had to eat was the meat from cactus
spurs and the rawlings from his
motorcycle tires. This diet spurned
him, however, and only through ex-
cessive energy and encouragement was
he able to withstand the trips
troubles.
Despite the fact that he had
every ten miles, that the
coyotes followed him for miles
through the lonesome prairiess that
the farmers looked upon him with
suspicion, that at times it was neces-
sary to ride his machine like squfr-
rel through the tree tops to ford a
stream and that every known and
few undiscovered engine and tire
troubles developed with his machine
despite all these Universities, Motor
cycle Mike has returned to his home
where street cars have no rubber
tires and where there is a hydrant in
every block.

Eby is asking to be reelected as coun-
ty superintendent. J. A. Campbell, jr.,
is the candidate for county surveyor,
while Judge A. w. Dana and Judge
George H. Whitcomb are candidates
respectively for the first and second di-
vision of the district court.
Robert d. Carver, judge of the coun-

nomination by s. S. Urmy, former
police judge. There is no Democratic
candidate. For clerk of the county
court the contest is between Alfred c.

law student. For marshal of the court
there are three Republican candidates.
George B. Frost, Frank w. Leech and
William Mallory. The winner will be
opposed in November by Tim Donovan,
Democrat, who is the incumbent.
Hard to Size Up Situation.
Normally there is a Republican ma
jority in Shawnee county of about 5000
votes. At the last general election.
however, two years ago the Democratic
candidate for governor carried the
county by something meFe--,than 500.
This year, with conditions as they are,
there are none who will make an es-

believed there will be more scratched
ballots this year, perhaps, than ever
before in the history of the county.
And once more, Mr.. Voter, don't try
to vote for both Democratic and Re-

whether you understand or not, don't
do it. Your ballot, as sure as you do,
will be lost to both friends you tried to

Roosevelt electors below, nor would
il be legal to leave blank space for
the Roosevelt electors at the top of
the tickets and print the Taft electors
below, and it is not practical for any
printer to print the Taft electors in
the position they will appear on the
ballot and trust to printing the
Roosevelt electors in the blank space
between, providing the decision is in
their favor.
''It istrue that the County Clerks can
not authorize the printing of the Roose-
welt electors until the decision of the
United States Supreme court, but it is
not true that they must print every
thing else on the ballot if they print
any part of it. The restraining order
is only against the Roosevelt electors
and the County Clerks can have any
part of the rest of the ballot printed
and leave any part of it imprinted,
SO long as he leaves the Roosevelt cleo
tors off.
The only practical way to handle this
is to leave the blank space sufficient
for the names of all the electors and if
the decision is against the Roosevelt
electors, print in the Taft electors
only; if the decision is in favor of the
Roosevelt electors, print in all the
names ofthe electors in the order in
which they were certified tothe County
Clerks by the secretary of State.

BARROW DENIES ALL.
Pronounces the Testimony offered
Against Him False.

Los Angeles, July 31-The case of the
defense in the bribery trial of Clarence
S. Darrow has reached it's climax in n
mass of denials and contradictions by
the Iawyer-defendant in which he YER
bally swept away every charge and ac-
cusation made against him since the
trial began. Every shred and particle
OF discriminating testimony given by
Bert H. Franklin, John r. Harrington,
George Benin, Detective Guy Biddinger
in fact every bit of evidence purport-
ing to involve him in any wrong doing
was characterized by Darrow without
qualification as false.
After the denialS came a narration by
the defendant of negotiations which Gull
minated in the compromise pleas of the
Mcnamara brothers. These details
purported to show lack of motive for
the corruption of Jurors.
Tears were in his eyes and he swal-
lowed hard several times while telling
the jury his feelings concerning the
proposed elimination of the labor trial.
He knew, he said, that it would be mis-
understood by organized labor and lie
also would suffer, but he considered
neither himself nor labor in the crisis
but only the lives of his clients He
told of the plans in connection there

pose.
1t was the hopelessness of the case

City Commissioners Show ss2,-
600 Saving First Round.
Whiting Contest Will Cut
Amount to Bedrock.
WANT LEVY OF 6.5 MILLS
City Hall Would Chop $4,000
Chunk This Year.
Concentrated Effort to Save
Money to Taxpayers.

The preliminary budget prepared by
the city commissioners for the year 1918
shows a saving of $32, 4s9 compared with
the budget for 1912. This is less than
one mill and a determined effort will
be made by the city officials to whittIe
down the budget to a sum that will re-
qUire a levy of less than mills for
1913. The levy for 1912 was mills.
The total expense of running the city
in 1912 will amount to $457, 7S1.00 In
making their requests for 1913 the COM
missioners have asked for $425, 34S.00
The budget for next year has not I'M
dergone the slicing process, however,
and 1t is predicted at the city hall that
the amount will be whitfield to at least
$4,000 and in all probability $4,000
more.
In other words-Iaying aside myster-
ious figures and facts-the city COM
missioners of Topeka are ambitious to
make city levy of only six and a half
mills for the year 1913.
The pruning knifes have been sharp
ened, each commissioner is prepared to
cut his allowance to the bone and for
the first time in years a real sure
enough concentrated effort will be
made to lower the city taxes. All de-
fcits and emergencies are out of the
Way-the commission is anxious TO
prove the worth of the commission
fern of government. &E
AO DQuB0IS OF commissioners
have been prepared in the rough-they
have not been plaped down to a
smooth surface. But in the final gasp
for the improvement of the city parks,
Commissioner Stotts admitted that he
would ask for only one-haIf mill levy
this year. This will net the parks u
sum around the $4,000 mark. Stotts
has been praying and pleading for q
one mill levy-enough to give the
parks the best dressing up they have
had in the history of the city. But in
order to aid in the reduction of the
levy he intimates that only the half
mill will be requested.
IN the budgets now prepared, Com
missioners Tandy, Bone and Stotts
show a saving. The mayor on ac-
count of extra fire equipment asks for
more than $111,O0 in his two depart
ments-police and fire. Commissioner
Miller finds it necessary to have more
money for improvements at the city
electric light plant. Tandy cuts off a
$4,000 chunk, Bone chips at least 500
and Stotts shaves $500.
This emergency fund this year VIII
be cut to $500-possibly less. No East
side paving loan or Kansas avenue
curb and gutter-a s5,725 saving.

1912 estimates before the city commits
