CAR MEN GO ON STRIKE
Employees in Kansas City
Tie Up Traffic.

At 4:35 a. m Wednesday a strike
was called by motormen employed
by the street railway company of
Kansas City and more than so per
cent of the men turned in their
badges.
The men are not asking for an
increase in wages but merely right
to organize Al 5 o'clock only thr-
teen cars were running out of a
total OF 700 BY G o'clock the en-
tire system was tied up and not a
car was moving.
The feature Of the strike so far
has been the absence of violence.
The men are remaine away from
the car barns and little trouble has
occurred The public stems to be
in sympathy with the men and is
going about on loot good naturedly.
The strike grew in unexpected
proportions and large numbers of
trainmen, who were expected to re-
main loyal in fear of losing their
jobs, joined the strikers, in the be
lief that the walkOut would be a
success.
Warning had been given by the
carmen. but few realized what the
decentralization of the tranway SyS
TEN of the Kansas Citys would
mean uatil they found the strk c
an actual reality.
/ E F. Mitchell, chairman of the
strike committee, was on dIty at
the labor temple directing the
strike activities Calls came t.
him from all parts of the city fro n
street car men, asking they be Sent
for to sign the pledge.
Many Of the carmen did not al
first believe the strike would eair
the great support it did Some
started ont on th-ir runs with Sell
cars, but later they left their car,
along the lines, deserving them and
joining the strike.
The strikers were prepared fol
this and some twenty motor trucks
were put in service early this morn
ing. AS fast as the carmen desert
: ing their cars telephoned the Labor
temple, the trucks were sent on
after them and then were brought

Material gathered will be turned

be named to head a food administra-
tion as soon as the pending regula-
tory food measure becomes law.
The survey bill passed virtually as
1t came from the committee.
Miss Rankin. the woman representa-
tive from Montana, inserted an amend
ment which would require the Depart
ment of Agriculture to use women In
the survey work wherever practicable.
AS originally drawn, the bill carried
more than slS,000,000, but committee
changes reduced the total.
These are the principal amounts ap-
propriated: For seeds, $5,77S,0oo; edu-
cation for increasing production by
waste elimination and conservation,
$4,34S, 400; general survey, $2,522, 900;
