STRIKERS MEET
WITH COMMITTEE
AND DISCUSS MATTERS PERTAIN.
ING TO SETTLEMENT OF THE
BUTCHERS STRIKE.
Engineers and Firemen Claim They
Were Not Given a Square Deal,
and Are Still Out.

The executive committee OF the
Ohio Valley Trades and Labor Assem-
Oily held another meeting last night

IN sympathy with the Butchers local.
The details Of the meeting we're not

a protest was made against the butch
ers returning to work without some
settlement being made with the engi-
neers and fremen. In fact. the latter
organization claims the strike was
sold" without giving any c~onsidera.
lion to any OF the union men.
At present the union butchers who
returned TO work upon the conditions
OF their new scale claim that they are
dissatisfied inasmuch as they are COM
PEELED 70 work with non-union men.
who were employed during the time Of
the strike.
Many of the butchers have
their designations. claiming they
would not work with the
men excepting long enough 10 get a
stake" so they could look for other
employment.
Many developments are expected in
the strike situation within the next
several days but just what action Will
De taken has not been made public.

for oil, gas and coal surveys, at a daily
rate of from SIS to $50.

CAB FARE UNCERTAIN
Regulation Is Needed in Topeka Says
Elon S. Clark.

a first step in Topeka's attempt to
establish herself rightfully as the re-
tail center of Kansas should be to
regulate taxi fares from railroad sta
tions to hotel. This is the belief held
by Elon S. Clark.
Mr. Clark travels extensively over
the state and has become firmly con-
WINGED that Topeka has the finest re-
tail stores of any city in the state Oh
country of her size. But he does be-
lieve certain things should be done to
foster the trade coming into Topeka.
II am charged so cents sometimes
for a trip from the station" said Mr..
Clark today AT other times they
charge me a dollar and then again I
am obliged to pay still another price
I believe a 25 cent fare should be
agreed upon and er forced. People
come to Topeka and before they ar
rive in the business district they are
mad at the treatment accorded them
by the cabman or taxi driver"
Mr. Clark stands up for Topeka
hotels. He believes the proprietors
are giving the people of Topeka the
best possible with the building facil.-
ties they have at their disposal
