Officials Were Anxious to Have
the Strike Called.
Had Made Preparation for
Fight to a Finish.

With the strike averted, railroad
circles in Topeka are sitting tight
and awaiting the next development,
for, it is conceded here, the passage
of the s-hour bill by congress was
simply a development which will
serve to prolong the wage contro-
versy- Many officials here. following
the course taken by E. p Ripley,
president of the Santa Fe. express dis
appointment that the issue was not
put to a test Before the strike was
called off the railroads here had spent
weeks in preparation for the crisis
Men to fill the places of the trainmen
who might walk out were obtained by
the thousands Despite promises of
the union heads that there would be
no violence or demonstrations of any
kind on the part of the strikers, the
Santa Fe, it is known, rushed the
manufacture of 500 deputy sheriff's
stars in the shops here, for guards
and extra special agents. Other rail-
roads, all over the country, including
the Union Pacific, the Rock Island,
the Missouri Pacific, the Pennsyl-
vania, the Southern Pacific and the
Frisco, took similar precautions.
All on Schedule
With the strike averteC every train,
thru Topeka is again on its regular
schedule. Merchants and commission
men are obtaining foodstuffs and 9TH

Not Mention Them in Speech.

Washington. Sept. 5.-At the head

that President Wilson's speech of ac-

of the most important issues of the

1t was stated that reports are pour

women have the vote to the effect that
thousands of women Democrats are

more by selling gas to big factory
