Health Dept Can Examine
Girls Despite Boards Protest.
Cooperative Plan Between
Schools and City Under Way.

Altho the members of the board of
education. at meeting held Monday
evening, protested methods of Dr.
Earle G. Brown, city health officer, in
the recent morality campaign in the
schools. there can be no doubt that the
law empowers the health officer to
use whatever means he thinks most
desirable. 1t was said at the city hall
today.
Still far greater results can be ac-
comPlished by cooperation, both sides
of the problem agree. When inter-
viewed this morning. Supt. A. ]. Stout
stated sympathy and kindness should
prevail in dealing with young students
who had innocently overstepped the
bounds of morality.
L. NJ. Penwer. president of the
board expressed the same sentiment
as Superintendent Stout. The men,
bers OF the board feel that the lives of
riously injured. whether innocent of
any wrong-doing. or guilty. by their
connection with the affair. Others
have suffered, 1t was said, by being
missed from class rooms by other stu
dents who Immediately imagined the
worst, that the health department had
taken them up.
biggest PrOblcm''-Stout.
II don't know the way out" Stout
confessed thisNmorning. 1T is one of
the biggest problems we have ever
had to contend with. do not believe
that conditions are worse in Topeka
now than they ever were. Neither
do l believe that things are worse
here than they are in any other SINH
lar city in the United States. The un-
welcomed publicity in the publication
OF the names of youthful students in
volved is the only thing we object to.
Because child has made a mistake,
1t should be cared for, protected and
taught what is the right thing to do
and what is wrong. / do not believe
the disagreeableness of the affair
would have been brought out IL a real
ization of the seriousness of the prob
lem had been realized at the outset
and a thoro understanding betwe en-
the school board and the board of
health been obtained before the work
began, We want a closer co-opera-
ton and am going to do all in my
power to get it"
That the whole affair may do un-
told good even tho it has done a GER
tam amount of harm, was the opinion
or l. M. Penwell. 1T may bring

Organized M'Aers Practically
CONTROL Industry in State.
STATE NIGHT OVERRIDE LAW
ReOpening Possible If Shafts
Were Taken Over.
Kansas Mines Still Closed
Allen Home Thursday.

Unless the state or federal govern
ment should actually seize the coal
mines, there seems TO be less than
even passing chance that unorgan-
ized workers could be placed in the
Kansas coal mines. Sometime. several
years ago. athe labor lobby in the state
legislature may have foreseen just the
present situation. They fixed state
mining laws in such manner that the
mine workers union was given prac-
tlcally supreme control in the man
agement of the coal industry.
Under the laws now on the statute
books, provisions are made for qualifi-
cations and experience, as we'll as eX-
aminations for all persons in charge
of the various departments of the
minesN Every shot firer and his as
sistant must show training and quail
ncations and have passed eXamina-
tions before the state board. The same
rule applies to bosses and superinten-
dents and the men in charge of the
various branches of work.
Need Legislative Session.
OF course in an emergency, Cover
nor Allen might call the legislature to
Topeka for a special session and re-
peal the existing mining laws or so
much of the law as would enable the
employment of non-union workers.
But such a move would meet with red
hot opposition from the labor lobby,
which is dominated by the organized
leaders.
A possible source of relief was
found by Judge c. w. Smith, execu-
tive clerk in the governors office. II
the state should elect to take over the
mines for the relief of the public, 1t
might override the present law. Judge
Smith believes the states right to
handle the mines in such manner as
would produce the greatest results for
the general public would be supreme.
The same rule would doubtless apply,
it Is believed, in event the government
took charge of the mining industry.
But in view of the existing conditions.
the mine workers union is in COM
plete and undisputed control of the
situation.
John H. Crawford, state labor com
missioner, left this afternoon for
PlttSburg for a conference with Alex
ancer Howat, head of the mine work
ers' union for this district He will
try TO enlist Howats support of a
plan for a separate agreement be-
tween the operators and miners of
this state.
70 Strlkcbrcakcrs Yet.
None of the mines in the Kansas
district have reopened. All of the
mines now closed are thoroly organ
fsed and the operators have made no
attempt to employ nOn-union men.
open the mines of this state in ad-
vance of settlement of the national
strike. No move has been made, so
far as is generally known, looking to
a special session or state operation of
the mines.
Governor Allen has been out of the
state for two weeks. He is expected
to return to Topeka Thursday. At
that time he will probab bly, go into the
Kansas mining troubles.
