STAND BY A LOYAL WORKER
Company Protects Waterman
Guffey From the Unions.
GrOcers Wouldn't Sell Him
FOOd-Lodging Is Denied.

1t is quite probable that the real
test in the Pittsburg mining camps in
enforcement of the industrial court act
will be in operation of the properties
of the B. & r. II. mines in Crawford
county. w. L. Higgins. as presiding
judge of the new court. has offered to
the company the protective features of
the labor court law in operating its
mines.
Trouble in the r. & r. H. mines
came when the men went on a strike
last winter. The miners walked out in
protest against employment of Watch
man Guffey who had stayed on the
Job while the state was in control of
tho Crawford county mines. Owners
of the mine refused to discharge Cuff
fey for doing his duty and 100000
worth of mining property has been
tied up for several months and produc-
ton OF nearly 5000 tons of coal a
month from the mine was cut off
Guffey isn't a miner. He merely
looked after the engines and pipes and
was a Waterman at the plant during
the idle hours. He didn't go on a
strike and no one ordered him out.
When Governor Allen took over the
mines. Guffey continued to work.
When the strike was settled, Guffey
found no change in his status-ar least
not until the strike came. Three days
after the strike was settled. workers
in the mine went out in protest against
the employment of Guffey.
Followed His Trail.
That night Guffey went home only
10 be advised by his landlady that he
must vacate. A committee from the
union had waited on her. At the
boarding house, Guffey was advised
that he could not stay. The committee
had been there. too. An aunt offered
Guffey a home. But the mine watch
man left after few days in order to
protect the woman from trouble with
the union. Then he went to a nearby
farm home. But the local soon drove
him from there. Guffey tried batch
ing. But the grocer wouldn't sell him
food. Now he is living in the mine
offices and his food is supplied by the
company owning the property.
When hearings at Pittsburg were
suspended several days ago, Judge
Higgins notified the miners that they
must return to the 3. & r. Fl. mines
il they do not return and the owners
desire protective features of the law
enforced thru the industrial court
they are to be given. The mine own
ers have not defined their position
stand with Gutfey. who continues to
draw his pay check.
Just the course which may be taken
by the industrial court has not beer
announced. 1t is generally believed
tho. that the test of states right and
power in compelling production of es-
sentials may be made in operation OF
the Il. & r. II. mines.

Even the sparrow Hates Work.

Sabetha, Kan, April 26.-Even the
English sparrows have grasped the
doctrine of less work, more convent
ences and better hours, for they have
rejected the sand pits, gravel piles and
creek beds and are getting their sand
by excavating the mortar from the
soft brick store walls. Mrs. Sparrow
also makes her nest in the excavation
and thus relieves the home shortage.

LIBERTY LOAN REFUNDING.

Refunding of the Liberty loans at
maturity will probably be necessary.
according to the National Bank of
Commerce in New York. In the cur
rent issue of it's magazine, Commerce
Monthly. the bank points out that
this is indicated by. the relatively
carly period within which the bulk Of
our public debt falls due, together
with the demand for tax reduction
and the uncertainty as to repayment
of the advances made to the Allied
governments.
"The policy which has been followed
in American war loan financing will
make necessary large refunding opera
tions,' the bank states. From the
Treasury point of view this may have
its advantages, for it may be possible
TO issue some of the refunding loans
at lower interest rates. In so far as
lower rates can be secured. the policy
will have justified itself. In any event
the optional maturities in effect be-
tween 1927 and 1947 give the Treasury
a satisfactory control over debt pay
ment during that period"

INTERESTED IN BOND REPORT.

The announcement that the Govern
mcnt may enter the market as a buy
or OF SIS, 600, 900 OF Liberty bonds ar
ter January /. attracted wide and fav-
orable attention In local banking
quarters. The fact that the Govern
ment will be able to use the profits
from the Federal reserve banks for
the first time for this purpose, was
not the least interesting feature OF
the announcement. 1T Is known that
these banks are making money stead
lily, and as the requirement OF the
law that they shall hold 100 per cent
of. their capital in earnings has al
ready been complied with. the Govern
ment may be expected to greatly ben
eft from now on in future earnings.
Therefore, II the policy Of buying
$75, 900 900 of the Liberties in the
open market is carried out in January
it may only mark the beginning OF
this buying from the money obtained
from this source. Next year the sum
turned over to the Government may
be even larger and IL this is applied
likewise to the purchase of the bonds
it will soon have a stabilizing effect
on the market for them.
The price Is bound to advance when
il is known the Government is the
purchaser for cancellation. This will
check the offerings. which, of itself,
viii benefit the price. The Liberty
bonds and the Victory notes already
have commenced to feel the effect of
this expected operation and the price
has advanced from 81 to 81 for each
1000 bond with the inquiry still &C.
tive. Local bankers contend that an
advance in the price Of the Govern
ments will soon have a beneficial in
fluence on the credit situation and
will help along all investment issues
we'll
