If Big Strike Is Called Pollti-
clans Cannot Crate.
Railway Tieup Would Silence
Campaign Thunder.
CAN'T USE MOTOR CAR EITHER
Shortage of Gasoline Would
Prevent Travelling.
Nothing to Do but Listen to the
Home Talent.

Kansas politicians are worried apout
the threatened railroad strike. Theif
fear does not concern the possibility
that Governor Capper may call out
Joseph L. Bristow and the puohc
utilities commission. 1t is the tact
that a campaign must be made in the
next sixty days and the strike situation
has its drawbacks-even among poll
ticians
Just now the new state COMMITTEES
heads are busy with their plans for the
state wide battle. In making plans II
is necessary to figure on railroads and
automobiles That is the only certain
transportation which means that a
campaign orator earns his pay But
with the railroads tied up and a bare
weeks supply of gasoline for the
motor care, the situation is grave.
Spell that last word with capital let
tiers.
No Gasoline.
Plans for the campaign this year
call for an extensive use of the auto
mobile. But gasoline is necessary to
run the cars and a strike would tie
| up the gasoline supply. So there you
are. The politicians might fill their
| speaking dates without the service of
| the railroads. But a general strike
means a shortage of fuel for the cars
and there is trouble ahead for the
men who want votes in November.
| The matter of transportation of
candidates ism all. There is the cam
paign circular that must not be for
gotten. Hundreds of dollars worth of
postage is used in each campaign TO
| tell the voters of the virtues and ac-
complishments of the favorites and of
the sins and misdeeds of the enemy.
A railroad strike might tie up mail
deliveries. All of which means more
trouble. So a general strike on the
railroads will work a real hardship on
the politicians, altho there is evidence
of a saving to the voters

HOW BOTH SIDES VIEW
PROPOSED STRIKE LAWS

Washington Aug. 30.-Following is
an epitome of views by railroad man
ayers ana railroad brotherhood chiefs
on the six proposals Of President VIII
son.
First-Brotherhoods are passive re-
garding any plan to enlarge mem
bership and widen scope of the Inter
state Commerce commission. Railroads
whoie-heartedly approve the sugges-
ton.
Seeond-Bro herhoods unanimously
want establishment of an eight hour
day by law. Some think such action
have made their chief fight against
this proposition.
Thfrd-Brotherhoods not greatly
concerned over appointment of n com
hour day on o~eration costs. Rail
roads desire such commission If the
eight hour day law is inevitable
Fourth-Brotherhood oppose = in
gress explicit approve interstate
commerce commission consideration of
increased FIR light rates: believe the
roads are making enough now to
grant demands. Railroads favor any
move to give them increased freight
rates, but are doubtful of results of
such consideration.
Fifth-Brotherhoods actively oppose
as I'M American forcing men to work
when they don't want to- which, they
say would be the result of creation of
commission to investigate labor dis
putes. with the proviso that the strike
would be unlawful during any investi-
CATION. Railroads specifically asked
for such commission.
Sixth-Brotherhoods do not oppose
giving the president power to operate
trains in event of military necessity,
provided only trains needed for mill
roads favor any mea sure that will keep
trains running IL strike occurs

crowned with success. During her
incumbency and through the efforts of
herself, together with Commissioner

circles from Chicago. The assertion
comes from a prominent railway Of

With the embargoes on today there
was not railroad in the west that
didn't have plans laid for any emer-
Eency that may happen. The present
plan here is to run about rs per cent
of the trains from the time the strike
is declared. This service will be in
creased from day to day until the eno
of thirty days when the railroads be-
lieve the strike will be broken and all
schedules will be filled.

Emergency trains will ne started
