UNIONS MAY SPLIT
Three States Pitted Against Kansas at
Coal Miners Conference.

Kansas City Nov. 15.-When repre-
sentatives of coal miners from Okla
homa, Arkansas and Missouri went
into caucus during the noon recess of
the southwestern miners convention
here today, some leaders expressed
fear of a split with the miners of the
Kansas district over the automatic
penalty clause" which was rejected
during last nights session by vote
of 1876 to 1877. Belief that a division
may come was based on the fact that
Alexander Howat, president of the
Kansas district, has said several times
that he and his men would abide by
the decision OF the convention, while
the other districts have made no such
statement.
The forenoon was spent in discus
sion of ways to bring about, a solu-
ton of the problem following the re-
lection of the penalty clause, but no
plans took definite form. Howat an
nounced just before the recess that he
would present a plan this afternoon
by which he believed an agreement
could be reached without the penalty
clause, at the same time preventing
the operators from receiving the in
crease in price for coal allowed them
by Fuel Administrator H. A. Garfield.
The penalty clause would levy fines
upon the miners if they should tie up
coal production during the remainder
of the war by striking

FOR THE RED TRIANGLE
Boys and Girls i'm High School Give
Heavily to War Work.

The war work campaign of the Y.
NJ. c. A. took another stride at the
high school this morning when DIR.
Kulp addressed a special meeting of
the boy students on the reasons for
the United States entering the war
and on the work of the Red Triangle
on the various fighting fronts the
imm ediate and tangible result Of
Doctor kulp's talk was an increased
subscription of s312-S0 to the $1,000
already subscribed.
The enthusiasm displayed by the
high school boys in carrying on the
subscription campo ign at the school
is unsurpassed among any of the
working committees. They work ear
ly and late and their efforts are meet
ing with large success considering
the fact that the people they solicit
are not as a whole self-supporting
and the subscriptions must come out
of their small supply of spending
money
Nor was the war work of the Y. w.
Q. A. neglected, for the girl workers
utilized the time Occupied by DIR. Kulp
in carrying on their own campaign
among the students left in the class
rooms. The Y. w has already pro-
lifted to the extent of $376.15 thru the
generosity of the girls of the Topeka
high school. With the exception of
one subscription of $780, whose donor
WltnnoloS ner name, the SUBSCRIPTION
was made in small amounts of from
% cents to So Miss Ewing, head of
the Latin department. is in charge of
the Y. w. c. A. work and says that
the girls subscription is expected to
reach $500 before the campaign closes
on December Is.
The amounts subscribed by the high
school students of both sexes will in
no way lessen the amounts subscribed
by their parents as the boys and girls
expect to pay their subscriptions from
out of their normal allotment of
spending money and money they
earn.
