received from the employers of $780,
600 people. These employers forbid
alcohol in their plants. In many in
stances, its use is considered in the
promotion and retention of employees.
Mr.. F1eisher might have added that in
some of the important steel plants
men who indulge in the use of in
toxicating liquors are not thought of
at all for promotion. The attitude
of the manufacturers toward the
liquor question is indeed one of the
most significant features of modern
progress. 1t brings before every man
in an intensely practical way the ne

manent effect is even more important
than was the eloquence of a Francis
Murphy or a John B. Cough in their

San Antonio, June 20.-General

$1,000, perhaps more. The troops will

GOVERNOR CAPPER IS ON HAND

Officials from two states are meet
ing with Kansas Natural Gas company
representatives this afternoon as Q
board of strategy in working out a so
luton of the natural gas troubles
The conference which is being held in
the office of S. M. Brewster, attorney
general was called to determine the
disposition of the gas company prop
erty and to reach an agreement con-
corning next winters fuel supply.
Members of the Kansas public util-
tiles commission and representatives
of the Missouri commission are at
tending the conference. Governor
Capper and Attorney General Brew
ster are also attending the session.
Plans for the sale of the gas company
plant to a Wichita corporation will be
laid before attorneys and receivers for
the gas company, it was asserted A
definite proposition concerning the af-
mitted by representatives of the state.
according to plans announced in adj.
vance of the meeting.
When the conference started at 2
o'clock this afternoon "a number OF
state officials and employees were in at
tendance for the hearing. Represen-
tatives of the Wichita gas company, as
well as attorneys and receivers for the
Kansas Natural were also in Topeka
for the meeting. The latter denied

Il was just called here to attend the
meeting and don't know what it is
about or what propositions will be

tia, an attorney for the gas company
receivers. Someone said the confer
ence concerned the gas supply. We are
doing all we can, though, and as soon
as the new rates are worked out, 1 am
sure there will be sufficient gas for ev-
eryone'
Several state officials as well as
members of the utilities commission
and their attorneys. were not inclined
to view the gas problem with the same
optimism displayed by Long. They
simply knew there was no gas that
conditions were not improving and
felt that the only solution of the prob
lem was a transfer of the property.
Nearly thirty lawyers, public officials
and business men are attending the
conference.

that might arise. But these calls were
either made in vain or were only par
TALLY complied with.
That President Wilson has finally
seen the Mexican light for what it is
and has ordered out the National
Guards, and probably enough SOL
diers to attend to any Mexican job
that may develop, is reason for con-
CALCULATIONS on all sides, and a move
that will not only be popular with the
people of the country, but one that
will also be heartily supported by
them They want the Mexican muss
settled, and the sooner the better,
SO they can get it off their mind.
There is but one unfortunate posi-
bility in connection with President
Wilson's belated action. The National
Guards that he called out Monday
may get to the border and be ready
for duty there too late to avert a re-
verse to American arms that would
cause this country to hide its head
with shame.

DON'T Want TO COBACk
Mexicans Employed on Railroads
Seem Content to Remain.

Although every effort apparently is
being made to recruit volunteers for
Carranza armies, as far as officials of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe have
been able to learn, no Mexican labor
ers employed by the company have
severed connections with the road to
answer the call to the colors.'
MeXicans who have been shipped to
Topeka from the border can obtain
transportation to the point from which
they were sent here after six months
of service with the company. While
a number of "humbres'' are eligible to
receive transportation under this rule,
none of them has applied since the
situation along the border became
serious.
A number of MeNcans employed by
the Santa Fe recently brought their
families to this country. From letters
received by them, it appears that a
scarcity of food exists in many locali-
ties in Mexico and in a number of
places women and children are on the
verge of starvation. Most of the men
either have Joined the various armies
or have crossed the border and en-
tered the employ of American rail-
ways.
