iamation issued this afternoon by Gov
ernor Allen. The proclamation affects

ernor. Nearly 10000 Kansans who
were ineligible to army service or un-
affected by the selective draft law.

guards.
A number of local guard organiza-
tions have already disbanded. Others

for the guardsmen were provided by
popular subscriptions. Such arms and
equipment as were issued by the gov
ernment will be returned to the adju-
tant generals office in Topeka.

Teachers Will Support Candi-
dates Who Support Reforms.
This Will Be Program if Reso-
luton Is Carried. &.
TO DEMAND A LIVING WAGE
They Also viii Demand Less
Politics in Schools.
Stand VIII Be Taken for $1,000
Minimum Salary.

The demand that the state school
book commission be composed of men
with experience in teaching; the re-
moval of the state and county super
intendents' offices from politics; the
demand that the maximum tax limit
De removed to the end that teachers
receive living wage and the recon-
mendation that the minimum salary
or Kansas teachers be placed at 81, 600
a year, are some of the big questions
to be voted on by the 5000 teachers
who will attend the convention of the
association in Topeka November s,
7 and 8.
The teachers express the belief that
the persons most qualified to select
tools are the persons who work with
those tools and that therefore the per-
sons who are most familiar with their
use and peculiar requirements should
select the school books. A proposed
resolution demands that in behalf OF
the educational interests of the boys
and girls of Kansas the state school
text book law be so amended that all
aDpointive offices of the commission
must be persons actively engaged in
public school work in Kansas. 1t Is
also demanded that the law be revised
to make it impossible for any repre-
sentative of any publishing house, ex-
cept the state printer, to become
member of the commission in any ca
pacity whatever.
Go Into Next Election.
In order to bring about these re-
forms, the teachers will pledge their
support. if the resolution is adopted,
to the candidate for governor in the
next election who will publicly pledge
himself to appoint only persons ac-
lively engaged in public school work
as members of the state school book
commission.
The teachers maintain they are wor-
thy of their hire and entitled to liv-
ing and saving wage. To the end that
theX may receive a wage comparable
with that paid in other professions re-
quiring Il like degree of preparation
and ability, a resolution is proposed
declaring it to be the duty of the next
legislature to remove the maximum
tax limit for the general support of
schools.
AS means of making the educa-
tional field more attractive, another
proposed resolution recommends that
the minimum salary of Kansas teach
ers be placed at $1,000 a year. The
records show a great decrease In the
enrolment in normal schools compared
with the enrolment in other higher

ATTORNEYS GO TO BAT
They Argue tfc Horsfcld Sunday Clos
ing Case This Afternoon


The attorneys in the Thomas Hors
field case began arguments this morn
ing in the court of Topeka and at a
late hour this afternoon were still on
their feet. Horsfeld is being tried
for violation of the Sunday closing law
on the allegation that he kept his
store at 20a Kansas avenue open Sun
day morning. 1t is test case and
will settle once and for all the ques-
ton of whether the outlying grocery
store can keep open Sundays.
1t is the plea of the attorney for
Horsfeld that the Sunday opening of
the stores is a necessity to the poor
people who have not the means where
with to preserve perishable articles.
1t is pointed out that by the stores
keeping open for a short time Sunday
morning persons without refrigeration
facilities are enabled to have fresh
meat, and milk, and vegetables on
Sundays the same as on other days.

STILL NO ACTION
National Industrial Conference
Meets and Adjourns.
Postpone Vote ON Plan for
Steel Strike Mediation.

Washington. Oct 15.-After post
poning for the day the vote on labor's
proposal for mediation of the steel
strike, the national industrial confer
sence today adjourned until 2:30 p. m.
tomorrow.
The public and labor groups forced
the adjournment over the objections
OF the employers group. They were
enabled to do this by a ruling of
Chairman Lane that a group vote was
not necessary in matters of pro-
cedure.
The adjournment resolution also di-
rected the central committee of the
conference to report not later than to-
morrow afternoon recommendations
to guide the conference in it's attitude
toward collective bargaining; Dele
gates Loree and Perkins, of the en-
ployers' group, declared that such an
important matter should not be de-
cided within so short a time.
Feared Break in Parley.
The desire of the members of the
public group to postpone a vote on the
steel strike resolution was evident
thruout the day. They feared that an
adverse vote might bring break in
the conference.
Before adjournment, the conference
adopted a resolution expressing SYM
pathy with Samuel Gompers, head of
the American Federation of Labor,
who is seriously ill at his home here
The postponement action came after
the conference had delayed convening
all morning, to give each group a
chance to go into executive session
and determining it's attitude toward
postponement.
Doubt Over Vote.
After hearing new proposals, Chair
man Baruch of the public group,
moved postponement of the vote on
the steel strike arbitration proposal
until the central committee could re-
port on collective bargaining. His
motion directed the committee to re-
port not later than 2:30 p. m. to-
morrow.
Labor delegates after the adjourn
fnent said they supported postpone
ment of the vote on the arbitration
plan because they hope that at the
same time this vote is taken the con-
ference will be forced to go on record
for or against collective bargaining.
Labor delegates plan to insist that
collective bargaining shall be taken to
include the right of workers to nego-
tiate thru leaders of their own choos-
ing.
Employees are on record in the con-
ference as absolutely against this al
tho they have endorsed collective
bargaining in general.
The climax of the conference thus
may come tomorrow afternoon, many
delegates believe, when collective bar
gaining comes up for discussion.
