NEW TRY AT ARBITRATION TO
BE MADE IN LATHERS' CASE "


Another attempt at arbitration will
be made today when the fathers will
meet their bosses in an attempt to
square up their differences. 1t is
understood that the employers are
anxious for peace as the spring build
ing season is on and work is plenti-
full.
The union men, while desiring
peace, are preparing for a fight to
the finish. They have been quietly
making ready for the stand against
the uniform agreement which takes
from them the right to strike against
conditions not to be tolerated by
union men.
The uniform agreement is still the
bar between the men and their en-
ployers. Several concessions have
been offered by the bosses, but as
long as they think advisable they will
try to put over the blanket" clause
which robs the unions of their only
Weapon-the right to strike.

town and q deacon in the local church,
has been greatly annoyed by the pro-
miscuous digging activities OF wood
chucks This little pest attains its
greatest happiness in puncturfng Tor
its abode holes in the farmers best
meadows in which horses are in dan
ger Of breaking their legs in hayfng
time.
Mr. johnson. however, says he has
learned to utilize the digging propen-
stiles of the little ground animals. He
captured three alive last fall and has
trained them to dig straight postholes
any depth and size required.
He asserts that by attaching a
strong cord to one of the animals hind
legs he merely has to indicate where
the hole is to be dug, and when it is
sufficiently deep he pulls the cord and
the chuck scrambles up for its reward
of a small bunch Of dried alfalfa, after
which it is ready to begin work on the
next fence pOSthOle.

IN SAME OLD way.
Old Fashioned Conventions to Fill
Congressional Vacancies.

Nominations to fill vacancies in
congress will be made in old fash
toned conventions or in primaries for
which the candidates pay the expense.
The house today voted down the VAN
CIeave measure providing for calling
of special primaries by the governor
in event Of a vacancy in a Kansas con-
sressional district.
VanCleave's bill was inspired by the
situation in the Second district three
years ago following the death of the
late A. c. Mitchell. Candidates were
assessed 5000 and the scandal that
grew out of the special congressional
primary and election is still current
political gossip in the district.
Frank L. Martin of Reno county
told. of similar trouble in the SeYepth
.Iistrict.--fn fact Martin himself was
nominated in a special primary and
beaten in the special election. He ia
vored the use of the old convention
plan in the nomination of candidates
for congress in event of vacancy. A
majority of the house members saw
the matter in the same light and vot-
ed to strike out the enacting clause
in the VanC1eave bill.
