C. of C. Won't Attend Labor
Meeting Wednesday.
President Stevic Angry Over
Refusal Action.

Is ] o. Stevic, state labor organizer
for the Nonpartisan league and presi-
dent Of the Topeka Industrial council,
crashing his teeth today over the
failure to bring about the disintegra-
ton Of the Topeka Chamber of Com
meroe?
In his capacity as president of the
Topeka Industrial council, Stevic has
announced that the board OF directors
Of the Chamber OF Commerce would
attend the Wednesday night meeting
OF the Topeka Industrial council at
Labor hall. But the C. of c. isn't
going, Stevic says.
In his capacity as state labor organizer
OF the Infamous Nonpartisan league,
Stevfc Is the sworn enemy of all chafu-
bcrs OF commerce, organizations of busi-
ness men, or anything in the nature OF
organized business institutions which can,
by any stretch of the Imagination he
called big business The Interpretation
put on big business by tie Organizers
OF the Nonpartisal, league covers even the
crossroads merchant.
On the face Of 1t the invitation EXTENDED
By Steyic and announced last Sunday as
being an accepted fact, is entirely inno-
cent of any Interior motive. But the
Wolff Packing company strike is still
ha aging fire and the assertion has been
made that the Chamber of Commerce
would be called on TO intervene.

CALL A HALT

The Chamber of Commerce today
secretly took some action. 1t needs
shaking up and reyivifyins.
It will lose standing and influences
local merchants and work
ing men If it is going to harbor the
vicious elements connected with the
Nonpartisan League, and there is a
crowd of that sort. attempting to run
it.
Certain-men posing az working men
in the Chamber OF Commerce and at
to- lead are unworthy the
class they pretend to represent.
The sooner the better elements
among the merchants. manufacturers
and working men generally repudiate
them the quicker loyalty and real serv-
ice will come to the front.

WILLIAMS TO HAVE
 Y. w. C. A. CHAPTER

Mrs. Chas. F. Aisworth, of Phoenix, was in town this morn ing meeting the women of Will Hams with a view to starting a local Y. w. c. A. chapter. This work has alreday been started thru the appointed of Mrs. T. H. Cureton as a delegate to the War Works conference in the capitol city this week. Mrs. Ainsworth met a large number of prominent local workers in patriotic movements, at the Fra Marcos, at ten o'clock. She ex- plained in a convincing way, the war work of the Y. w. C.. A. in its7various departments, and the Red Cross and the necessity of both. An adviory committee of fifteen will be appointed to carry. on the work here.
 The Y. w. c. A. wants list of the names of every girl in the community, between the ages of .12 and 21, for there is much work of a patriotic nature that can be accomplished by these girls.

ROBIN HOOD" MOST
 CREDITABLE PRODUCED

The Red Cross benefit opera, Robin Hood, which was given at the Sultana Theatre last ev- ening was most creditably pre- sented, the entire cast acting the parts in a thoroughly enjoy able manner. Much credit is due to Dr. and Mrs. R. M. Scott for their unceasing efforts to make the play a success, and for their financial support, which will give the Red Cross a substantial profit. Results are not figured up as yet, concern ing the receipts, and will have to wait a week for publication.
 The Red Cross thanks the cast and the following persons, for their assistance in making this entertainment such a success:
 Mir Reese, Saginaw and Man istee Lumber Company, Bau- man-Hinds Construction Com pany, Babbitt-Polson Company, Duffy Brothers, Kirkpatrick & Ortt, Mrs. Sullivant, Mrs. Mont gomery, Mrs. Duffield, Mrs. F. Ferguson, Chas. Button, F. M Gold and Dan Negrette.

BOY
 WINS GOLD STAR

Villains has made her first real sacrifice to satisfy the Hun Greed, official announcement of the death of one of her sons,- on the battlefield, having been re- ceived here this week.
 Justa Baca Cordova, one of the very first of the volunteers from Williams when trouble theatened on the border, was killed in action August 1, 1918.
 Cordova's nearest relative is Mrs. Eddie Torres, his sister, a we'll known young lady of Will Hams, whose husband is now in the United States Navy.
 Asthe nearest relative of the young man Mrs. Torres prob ably will receive the benefit of the $1O,000 life insurance left by Mr.. Cordova, who had ac- cepted the Governments offer of insurance to soldiers. This means that Mrs. Torres if heir, will receive about $57 monthly from the U. s. Government.
 That Williams has been, and is being we'll represented at the battle front is brought home by the supreme sacrifice of this young man. The most fitting tribute to this first gold star on a Williams Service flag may be made in the coming Liberty Loan Drive.

I wish to express my appre- ation of the support given me at the polls on November 10, and take this means of assuring the voters that I will devote my very best energies to the per formance of the duties of the office if I prove to be the choice of the voters at the election November 5th. If elected, I shall feel particularly bound to extend to the small land and stock owners the full protection of the law. As 1 stated before the primaries, I am bitterly op- posed to the proposed lease laws and whether in office or out shall continue to do all 1 can in opposition to such legis- lation.
