BIG WIRE WALKOUT
Louisville Operator Agent Says Vote
Is Being Taken.


Louisville. Ky, April 16.-Harry
Henderson, business agent of the Tele-
phone Operators union of Louisville,
today announced that a vote is being
taken turnout the country by tele-
phone employees to force government
recognition of telephone employees
unions with a nationwide strike as
the alternative.
The referendum, Henderson said,
would be finished by May IL. He also
asserted that information from the
headquarters of the National Union
of Electrical Workers, which includes
employees of telephone companies, is
that the votes of 100000 telephone
employees already have been received
and that a great majority favor a
strike if the demands are not granted.
Miss Lillian Brain. president of the
Topeka Telephone Operators union
! stated today that no vote involving a
tentative strike is being taken in To-
peka. She asserted that no such mat
ter had been brought before the To-
peka local.
The telephone operators here are
affiliated with the American Fedora
| ton of Labor, and any steps taken by
the national organization would I'M
doubtedly affect them.

WEEKS CROP WEATHER
Cool, Clouds, Rain, Snow-But
Wheat Continues To Grow.

AbnormaIIy cool, cloudy weather
prevailed over Kansas this week. In
the eastern half of the state heavy
rains soaked the ground so thoroly as
to put an end to farm work most of
the week. while heavy snow fell over
the western half, totalling from
INCHES to a foot in many places. In
the extreme western counties the
snow storm of April s and 8, was re-
ported to be as severe as any OF the
previous winter while it lasted. block

PARK ON EAST SIDE
City Will Create District at junction
Eighth and Tenth.

At the next meeting of the city COM
missioners Robert D. McGiffert will
present a petition, for the approval of
the commission. calling for the crea-
ton of a park Or the East side at the
junction formed by Eighth and Tenth
streets For some time this action has
been pushed by persons of that neigh
borhood who are DESTROYS of having
the city create a park at this place.
The land amounts to something less
than one-half acre in the shape of
triangle.
.ss..Altlo; no definite action has been
taken by the city, the park is prac-
tically an assured asset. 1t will be
necessary to form a committee of ap-
praisement to get a valuation on the
property. A benefit district will in all
probability be created to purchase the
tract, the city sharing in the purchase
price.
The project is the first proposition
to be taken hold of by Commissioner
McGiffert. who will no doubt prove
as progressive an executive in looking
ahead to the identifying of the city
as was his predecessor, w. L. Porter

latIons OF Pasteurized Milk.

for first reading. The ordinance was
prepared by Miss Annette Nicoll. city
bacteriologist. in Commissioners Nc

mometers. Pasteurized milk, says
Miss Nicoll should be kept at a tenn
perature of between 142 and 149 de-
grees Fahrenheit for a period of
thirty minutes. The recording Their
mometer will demonstrate whether or
not this requirement of the ordinance
has been complied with. The bac-
| terra content permitted on raw milk is
| 100000 per cubic centimeter.
Another new feature will be the in
stallation of a score card system for
| keeping the records of diaries ham,
ding various kinds of milk. 1t will
mean that milk intended for pasteuri-
cation can only come from diaries
