SETTLE40IL CASE.
War Labor Board Decides COf-
feyville Matter.
Gives Men Right of Collective
Bargaining.

Washington, Aug. 30.-The report
of Frederick N. Judson and William
H Black. composing a section of the
national war labor board, was adopt
ed today by the board at its award in
the case in the controversy between
tie Nativ-,,l Refining company of
Coffeyville, Kan, and employees.
The report provides:
General increase in wager retroactive to
July 1, 1918.
. Basic eight hour day.
Workers shall be paid time and half
for all time in excess of eight hours and
double time for Sundays and holidays. .
Every employee before being discharged
and If he is unable TO make a decision. the
complaint may be presented to the officials
of the board.
The board found it impracticabIe TO re-
instate employees who had left the company
because of previous conditions.
The employees were granted the right OF
collective bargaining.
The board recommended that sanitary
conditions be materially developed.
In commenting on the award, Chairman
Walsh of the board said:
This is the first constructive effort on
the part of the government to stabilize
fields. In some parts feeling has run so
high that Kuklux Klans were organized,
lynching parties formed and all I. W. W.
ana others tarred and feathered and other
destructive practices made by both the
workers and employers. 1t Is in many re-
spects the most comprehensive award yet
rendered by the board

the reinstatement of discharged
man who was active in the policemen's
union. According to the Central News
the authorities offered to reinstate
the discharged constable with a repri-
mand, but the union objected and the
demand was granted.
A Sort Of Recognition of Union.
The news agency interprets this as
recognition of the union, as the con-
stable has been active in the union
organization which is not recognized
by the police authorities, but is sup
ported by the London trades council
and other labor bodies. Before
cyclists went about their duty spread
ing the strike order. the Central News
announced that it was understood the
men would get a bonus of eight shil-
lings weekly and that the percentage

BONE DRY JULY 1, 10
Senate Votes Prohibition Until De-
mobilization OF Troops.


Washington, Aug. so-Wartime
bone dry prohibition to begin July 1.
1919, and continue until the termina-
ton of the rehabilitation of the
troops, was voted by the senate Thurs
day without a roll coll.
: The action was not an exhibition OF
high courage on the part of the. SEN
ate, but it was the es siest way of get
ting rid of a troublesome and insistent
problem, and the majority of the sena-
tors were probably glad enough to
have it out of the way without a vote
of record.
The real purpose of the prohibition
lists, backed by the anti-saloon league,
in forcing the issue at this time, is to
get a nationwide bone dry law on
the statute books at any hazard for
the moral effect and in the hope that
once enacted, some way will be found
to prevent it's repeal before it can be
nullified by a proclamation of the
president.
Manufacture of distilled spirits has
already been stopped and the prohibit
ton OF making of wine, it has been
repeatedly shown, cannot be classed
as a food conservation measure. The
drive of the amendment is particu-
larly directed. therefore, at the manu-
facture and sale of beer, because there
is still large stock of whisky on hand
and it will all be taken out of bond
before the law takes effect.
