SAVE YOUR GASOLINE.
National Automobile c. OF C. Shows
How Autoists Can Do 1t.

Washington, July 1.-The United
States fuel administration, thru Mark
L. Requa, director of the oil division,
has issued the following statement in
regard to gasoline:
up to the present time there has
been sufficient supply of gasoline to
meet all requirements; but in order to
be prepared for any shortage. should
it arise, plans are being considered by
the oil division of the fuel administ1 a
ton, in cooperation with the automo-
bile industry and the national petro-
leum war service committee, for the
purpose of determining the most sat-
isfactory method of gasoline conserYa-
ton.
1T is not expected in any event
that it will be necessary to restrict
normal consumption for freight We
hicles, and provided there is a reason
able conservation by all concerned, it
may not be necessary to seriously in
terfere with passenger cars and mo-
tor boats.
lit must be borne in mind, how
ever, that the paramount uNe for gaso-
line is for war purposes, all of which
requirements will be supplied. The
volume of this will largely govern the
situation.
1T seems possible that rational con-
servation by the public will render
government action unnecessary"
The National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce is cooperating to help
in this conservation movement.
While there is need for saving, there
is no official suggestion of any neces-
sity for curtailing use of passenger
cars on Sunday or any other day, nor
the issuance of gasoline cards to limit
the amount to be sold to each individ-
ual owner.
Every motorist should conserve gas
oline in every way. The following
methods are suggested.
Do not use gasoline for cleaning
mechanical parts
Studiously avoid splitting, 1eakages
and evaporation.
Do not let engine run when car is
standing.
Have carbureter adjusted to give
largest possible mileage per gallon.
Adjust brake bands so they do not
drag; keep all bearings we'll lubricat-
ed and tires fully inflated.
Keep spark plugs clean, have igni-
ton correctly timed and drive with
spark well advanced.
Do not accelerate and stop quickly:
avoid high speed; stop engine and
coast 'ong hills.
Avoid aimless and unnecessary use
OF cars: do number of errands in one
trip; carry purchases home in the car
to reduce deliveries by stores
Combine with neighbors and friends

Union Officials Claim One
Fourth of Men Will Go Out.

Washington. July 1T is under
stood that the president has not con-
cluded definitely to take over the tele-
graphs and telephones as soon as the
power is given. He probably will
await the result of the strike of West
ern Union operators. called for July
by the Commercial Telegraphers'
union, because the Western Union re-
fused to abide by rulings of the war
labor board and continued to dis
charge union operators.
Union officials claim one-fourth of
the 10000 operators of the Western
Union will wall. out The company
insists that the strike call will have
no substantial effect upon its business.

that there will be several speakers of

Biby said today that he was not in a

Raise Membership to 5000.
The band concert is the first step in
the effort of the local councils of the
lodge to raise their membership to a
total of 5000 before the dedication of
the Home and Hospital Labor Day.
One of the features of the concert to-
morrow night will be an exhibition
drill by the teams from Columbia
council No. so and Capitol council
No. 1.
Since its establishment, the Knights
and Ladies of Security lodge has
grown to be one of the biggest fra

have been passed to the lodge" said
Biby today, land the site property is
now recorded as an asset of the

Labor day has been set as the date
on which the home and hospital will
be officially dedicated. Drill teams
from all parts of the United States
have already expressed their inten-
tons of coming to Topeka for the
demonstration in spite of the in
creased cost of transportation.
Big Dedication Plans.
Biby said that this morning the
cities of Louisville, KY, and Lincoln,
Neb., had sent in reservations and en-
trance blanks for the big competition
at the dedication. Fifteen hundred
dollars have been set aside to be given
as prizes at the competition and it is
expected that Topeka will reap a rich
harvest of good will from the persons
who come to Topeka to attend.
The campaign which is to be started
tomorrow night has as its object the
increasing of the total membership of
the local councils from 1000 members
to 5000 members before Labor day.
The campaign will last sixty days.

VETOED EIGHT-HOUR BILL
President Says If Hours Are Increased
Pay Also Must GO Up.

wilson today vetoed the legislative
appropriation bill because of the Bor
land>amendment increasing the hours
of government workers but providing
no overtime pay.
The presidents action holds up ap-
propriations for government workers
beginning July 1, and may hold up
congressional recess unless the meas
ure is quickly passed minus objec-
tionable features.
In his veto message the president
takes the position that the government
cannot afford to change unfavora bly,,
conditions of labor of its employees
during the war, because of its appeal
to private employers. The message
reads:
Is Committed to Labor.
"At the outset of the war I felt it
my duty to urge all employers in the
United States to make a special eff
fort to see to it that the conditions of
labor were in no respect altered I'M
favorably to the laborer. 1t has been
evident from the first how directly
the strain of this war is to bear upon
those who do the labor which under
lies the whole process of mobilizing
this nation and it seemed to me at
the outset, as it seems to me now, that
it is of the highest importance that
the advantages which have been ac-
corded labor before the war began.
should not be substracted from or
abated.
Wants To Be Consistent.
Having taken this position in an
earnest appeal to other employers, 1
do not feel justified in sending thru
a measure in which the United States
as an employer, changes the condi-
tons of labor of its own employees I'M
favora bly, to them and 1 feel the freer
to take to this position because I have
not learned from any quarters that
the employees of the government in the
district have been slack in their labor
or have demurred from doing any of
the necessary additional tasks which
the times and the exigency require.
On the contrary, 1 have learned that
they have cheerfully done additional
labor and have not needed the COM
pulsion of law"
