CITY BEAT STATE.
Topeka Ahead of Cleanup Day-Dirt
in Alleys Today.

J. A. Ramsey, of the city sanitary
department, was up in the air. to-
day. Likewise w. L. Porter, city
commissioner of parks and public
buildings. And it was all because the
city of Topeka was two weeks ahead
of the state in the matter of having
an official cleanup week. The city
sanitary department hauled away the
last of 1900 loads of rubbish two
weeks ago at public expense, but free
to the Individual.
But today tardy cleanuppers who
did not take advantage of the city's
offer, after having read of the state's
cleanup week, fostered by the state
board of health, began making de-
mands from the city sanitary depart
ment to have rubbish hauled away
free of charge. They have been piling
alleys and streets with heaps of rub
Dish, but the city refuses to haul it

Chicago, ILL.,, April 16.-The distin-
gushing marks of a nifty "nightie,
in which it is charged Mrs. Grace
Hayden received a call from Arthur
S. Caruthers one night, precipitated
an argument which for a time halted
the hearing of DIR. Ralph E. Hay

John A. Brewer testified he was a
member of "peeping party" and had
seen the nightie on Mrs. Hayden. He
said he also saw Caruthers scantily
clad in the room of her apartment at
4624 Clarendon avenue.

UNCLE SAM \! ]. SAYS NO
Manufacturers Cannot Fix Retail
Prices of Their Products.

Detroit, Mich, April 16.-In deny
ing motion filed by the kellogg
Toasted Corn Flakes company against
the governments petition for an in
junction to restrain the company
from fixing the resale price of the
products, the United States circuit
court of appeals in a decision just
filed in the district court here, rules
that the owner of a patented carton
can not dictate the selling price of the
goods which the carton contains.
The governments petition, filed IN
December, 1912, attacked the selling
plan of the defendant company, stat
ing that it specified the price which
the jobber, the wholesaler and the re-
taller should charge for its product.
In its motion to dismiss the govern
ment's petition, the Kellogg company
commended that it's ownership of a pat
ent on the carton in which its prod
uct was marketed gave it the right to
fix the price of the product.

ARMOUR A WITNESS.
Says He Does Not Believe Labor
Unions Are Necessary.

Chicago, April 16.-J. ogden Ar
mour, president of Armour and Com
pany, testifying before the United
States commission on industrial rela-
lions, today expressed the opinion that
Industrial unrest in the United States
is slowly decreasing. His own en-
ployees, he said, were adequately pro-
tected through the privilege of APP
pealing to the respective foremen.
The witness said he kept in touch
with employees in their homes
through foremen and the company's
welfare workers.
do you believe a proper standard
of living can be maintained on week
ly wage of $12.50?" Mr.. Armour was
asked.
|. TT is a very broad and difficult
question: he replied.
He denied that his company took
advantage of an over-supply of irlani-
grant labor to pay less than living
wages.
1.-The strike of 10000 was brought
about through wages of unskil1ed la
bor," the witness said. I'VE offered
arbitration but it was declined"
Mr.. Armour said he did not believe
that unions were necessary to the
welfare of employees.
THE success of an employer de-
ponds on the employee said he,
land to get the best work of the en-
p1oyee the best wages the market af
fords must be paid"
FRANK +. WaISh, chairman or the
commission, was in Kansas City today
attending the funeral of VIM. r. Nell
son, editor Kansas City Star. John
B. Lennon acted as chairman. Mr..
Armour said that the welfare depart
ment consisted of ten trained nurses
who visit the female employees in the
homes and at work and even provide
money in cases of restitution.
Mr. Armour stated the company's
pension plan could not be made to
cover the casual employee.
You said that you would not have
organizers around the plant during
working hours. Is the reason indus
trial or economic?" asked Mr.. Garrett
son.
Both replied Armour; 'I would
not have them around anyway. AS
soon as a union has little power it
commits eXceSses.'
81 am at the head of the Order of
Railroad Conductors, considered a re-
sponsible organization, yet in its early
struggles it was called irresponsible"
said Mr.. Garretson.
Maybe the wrong man was at it's
head in the early days." replied the
packer.
No; it was the same man.

you have grown into your job said

London, April 16.-The production
of margarine from Sunflowers is the
latest device attributed to the German
government to. meet the expected
scarcity of butter. according to a dis

Sunflowers, it is claimed, yield an oil
that can be used in the manufacture
