STRIKING IS A GAME
Coal Operators Tell How 1t Is Played
by Mine Workers.

Washington, Sept. I'm support
of an attempt to show an unlawful
conspiracy between the United Mine
Workers and the coal operators of
western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois fields to stop the produc-
ton of cheap coal in West Virginia,
attorneys for the West Virginia oper-
ators today brought in the name of
William B. Wilson, secretary of labor.
In 1902 Wilson was national secre-
tary of the United Mine Workers. D.
Kanawha Coal association, testified
that Wilson, in that capacity, at a
miners meeting in Huntin gton, or
dered a strike in the West Virginia
fields.
Mr.. Wilson told US a strike was
necessary in West Virginia to win the
anthracite strike in Pennsylvania -
testified Kennedy. He added that dur
ing the recent strike on Paint and
Cabin creeks the miners in West Vir-
ginia raised $4,000 while miners out
side the state contributed $4,000.
Kennedy testified that Mother
Jones was paid $1,36S, from June to
November, last year. according to the
accounts of the Mine Workers.
DO you know of a single operator
in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana or
Illinois who has contributed a penny
ed Attorney Belcher for the United
Mine Workers.
Kennedy admitted that he did not
and also that mine owners in four
other states had fought unionizing
West Virginia. The attorney read
excerpts from conference reports to
bear that out.

MAKE DRESS IN 20 MIN.
Six Girls Fashion Garment While on
Train.

Paris. Sept. 12.-Tube travellers who
were recently astonished to see six
young women hurriedly cutting and
making a fashionable gown while rid
ing in a tube train, have learned that
the unusual performance was the re-
suit of a wager that they could not
fashion dress complete during a trip
from the port D'Orleans station to the
port De Clignan Court, a Commute
journey under ground.
The design was submitted to the
Young dressrnakers as they boarded the
train and as soon as they had taken
their places in one of the cars, the six
girls fell to their task in whirlwind
fashion. Each had particular assign
ment. One of them made a sleeve and
another another sleeve, another the
bodice. a fourth the skirt. while the
fifth and sixth attached hoks. eyes and
trimmings. As the train drew up at
the terminal at Chgnan Court, the
girls stepped from their car and held
out the finished dress with a shout of
triumph, having completed it in 20
minutes.
The dress is of pink chiffon, designed
in the latest style, with a draped tunic
and lavish ornamentation.

Rains Make Kansas Forget Her
Few Troubles.
State Is i'm Best of Spirits Over

COBURN MAKES AN ESTIMATE
Soaking Has Added 25 Per
Cent. to All Values.
Heat of Summer Was an Aid
to Soil.

Kansas Just added 25 per cent to the
value of its crop and stock holdings as
q result of the rains of the last three
days, according to F. D. Coburn, sec
rotary of the Kansas board of agri-
culture.
Mr.. Coburn sees much good that will
come to Kansas from the dry weather.

studying of conditions and farm meth

''Of course. coming after such an UNI
usual spell of heat and dryness, these
rains put new life into everything and
new courage into everybody said Mr..
Coburn today "Kansans already esti-
mate their holdings % per cent higher
than a week ago and this is always the
case when the rains come after period
of unusually dry weather.
1.-The conditions that have prevailed
during the last sixty days, while caus-
ing much inconvenience for the time
being, are by no means without re-
deeming features. For example, the
intense heat with absence of moisture
IS well known to have a wonderfully
beneficial effect on the soil in it's re-
lation to succeeding crops, and along
with this the summers experiences
have done more to awaken our farm

1.-THE work of seeding the fields to

now be pushed with great vigor, and
nothing that can be done will be left
undone for making the crops of 1914
the greatest in the states history. 1t
is unnecessary to say that when Kan
sas approaches her top figures she is
indeed going some.
1.-The rains have been heavy over all
of eastern and central Kansas and the
fall pastures will be bright and green
in n day or so. The late cuttings of al
falfa will grow as If there had been no
dry weather. The late planted forage
crops will boom and double their
growth and the ground is in the finest
sort of condition for the fall sowing of
the wheat"
After all, Kansas is a glorious state.

NO CALL FOR AID
Western KanSans Resent Call
for Special Session.
Representative Men Say There
Is No Suffering.

| Farmers in western Kansas are not
suffering because of the short crop
year and do not want a special session
| of the legislature to help them
| through the winter, according to let
| tiers and kilograms received by the
State Journal from business men and
farmers in Graham and Finney coun-
ties. These statements were volun-
tarily made following the publication
of a statement by Representative Geo.
Crippen of Cove county, who declared
that a special session of the 1egisla-
ture was required to aid the farmers
and to stop heavy population losses IN
the western counties.
M. c. Inflow, manager of the Re-
veille Realty company at Hill City
declares that the report of hardships,
sufferings and hard times in western
Kansas are without foundation so far
as Graham county is concerned, and
points to the official 1912 crop reports
for his county.
lover our firms signature you can
refute the Infamous hard luck stories
in western Kansas as not generally
applying to Graham county" writes
Inflow. Estate Agricultural college re-
port for 1912, last year, gave the
value of our field crops at ST. ,93S;
total value farm products including
animals sold for slaughter, 81, 1877,
with trifle over 5000 population in
the county; and with considerable
forage in the county we are not
starved out"
p N Cline, an auctioneer in More
land, Graham county, says Graham
county is prosperous and points to
recent public sales to prove his con-
tention.
"On September 5, ten miles north
of Moreland, 1 conducted a public sale
amounting to over $4,000, and only
one small note was taken. Two teams
of mules sold for $55S, common cows
sold for $50 and the cheapest COW in
the lot sold for $67-and this in the
short grass country. Other sales in
the same locality in the last few days
have brought equally good prices and
at one sale this months, not a single
note was taken.
Like Graham county, Finney coun-
ty-in the heart of the sugar beet dis
trict-doeSn't want state aid. A let
ter from the Garden City Telegram,
tells the story of conditions in Finney
county as follows:
I'm view of the agitation now on
relative to the deplorable conditions
in western Kansas, and in the face of
requests for a special session of the
the state, said to be in need, Finney
county wants it understood that no
aid is required.
Hardly any year in its history
have crop conditions been as good,
considering the extreme adverse cir
cumstanceS.
1.-The great development of pump
irrigation has made success possible
to every farmer who possesses proper
pumping facilities. That means hun
dreds of them in this county.
Garden City territory is entirely
independent of any outside assist
ance."

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS.

Chicago, Sept 12.-WHEAT-Just a flash
of strength showed itself today in wheat.
Then the market gave way under selling
by larger commission concerns and private
wire houses. The temporary upturn re-
suited from higher quotations at Liverpool
where supplies were ching directed to
European continental countries. Rains
that had put the soil in god condition for
fall blowing in the United States furnish
ed the incentive for most of the selling.
The opening was unchanged to half cent
higher. The ensuing decline carried prices
sharply lower.
Active inquiry by exporters led after
ward to rally. The close was nervous at
a net advance of 1s@Ac to &c.
committeeman rains weakened corn.
There were also predictions that no more
hot weather would be experienced this
season. Prices at the outset were un
changed to &c to sc off and further
drop followed.
OATS-Speculators hammered the oats
market downward. Fear of Canadian i'm
ports gave the bears advantage.
PROVISIONS-Lower prices for hogs
made the provision market easy. First
sales were a shade to 711610c cheaper and
there was subsequent additional setback.

The lord mayor today forwarded to

expressing his sympathy with the peo-
pie of New York.
Coincidence From Toxic.
New York, Sept. 12.-Among the
many messages of coincidence that
cablegram from mayor of Toxic which
said:
city Hall, New York:
please accept deepest sympathy
with your citizens for demise Of your
beloyed Mayor Gaynor from myself
and citizens. Baron Sakatani, mayor
of Tokio.'
Heads of the city department met
with Mayor Kline and adopted reso-
luton. At ST. James the mayors
pdOliS A4CClAIl6 was
called for next Monday evening to
take action on the mayors death. So
many messages of sympathy for the
Gaynor family have been sent there
that the telegraph company has sent
an extra operator to the village to re-
ceive them.

vacant by Mayor Gaynor's death.
Mr.. McAneny was quick to decline
the designation as head of the Gaynor
ticket.

provements and maintenance of the

Dyche Is Economical.
Yet, it cannot be charged that Prof
Dyche mas squandered state funds for
his own private use. Far from it.
There is probably no one other state
official or appointee-even down to
the lowest paid stenographer or clerk
whose personal expense is held down
better than is that of Prof Dyche.
Looking through his claims for per-
sonal expenses, are many items such
as this:
Lunch Y. NJ. c. A, IS cents
Supper, SO cents
breakfast, 19 cents"
For, in Topeka, Prof. Dyche often
eats at the Y. NJ. c. A, where the
cafeteria plan is in operation. And by
acting as your own waiter, there is
usually a saving of five or ten cents
on the Individual meal Thus Prof.
Dyche has saved many dimes by going
to a cafeteria luncheon instead of fol-
lowing other state house officials to
the more pretentious hotels and cafes.

tural college and superintendent of the
horse department of the fair. said: 1T
is the most instructive horse show ever

was more to be learned from the class
of exhibits and the judging that was
done than previously. There We're new

men. and it is interesting to note that
the majority of the big prizes were won
by Kansas farmers who have but few
horses"

fellow at the head of the department"
DR.. o. o. Wolf of Ottawa, head of the
cattle department: THE boys seem
satisfied over the treatment they have
received. The Shorthorn display was
better than at either Iowa or Nebras-
ka. The dairy end is better than ever
before. We were fortunate in our
judges, who gave good satisfaction"
Greatest Show in History.
C. H. White of Burlington, a Short
horn cattle exhibitor for the last three
years: There is no complaint on the
score of treatment, and as far as the
exhibits are concerned I think it is
the greatest show that we've had
here"

Santa Fee Employees Off.
At meeting Of the general officers
of the Santa Fe held this morning, it
