Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. ll-Street car seivice in Kansas City has been absolutely at a staudstill for more than fifteen hours; many industrial plants have been forced to close and most of the residential sections of the city are without electric lights as a result of q strike of street car and power house employees
 The men demand the increase in wages awarded them by the federal war labor board, which was condn. gent upon the financial resources of the Kansas City Railways company The federal court recently refused to efant an injunction to permit the company 10 charge eight cents, and the street railway officials assert they are unable to meet the boards decree on the basis of the present six cent fare.
 The six cent fare issue is before the state supreme court, but a decision as 10 whether the company can charge six cents, or be compelled tc return to five cent fare, is not ex- pected before the end of this month,
 Mayor Cowgirl, in d statement to- day, said the city would not recedo from its position of opposing an in creased fare.
 The street car tie.up affects all of greater Kansas City and as the va rious suburbs are widely scattered, the effect of the strike on all kinds of business and industry is proving sc rious,

 Tt is estimatGG that about 100000 Armenian, Syrian. Greek and other war suiIGrcrs in the near East will re- qutre Outside help to sustain them thrG6gh the winter. Many of them are now hundreds of miles from their home lands. The vast majority oi pthem are helpless women and chil- Adren. including 100000 orphans.
 "The American committee for re lief in the near East is appealing for a minimum of S30, GOO .000 to be sub scribed January t2-i9. 1919, with which to meet the most urgent needs of these people.
 CT, therefore, again call upon tho people of the United States to make even more generous contributions than those they have made before to sustain through the winter months those who, through no fault of their. own, have been left in q starving, shelterless condition, and to help re. establish these ancient and sorelyI oppressed people in their former homes on self supporting basis,
