ARE BEFORE COURT
Employees and Officers of Street
Railways Here.
Case Being Heard Today by In
duStriaI Court.

Employees and officers of the street
railway lines in Topeka and Wichita
both owned by the Mckinley syndi-
cate-are before the court of industrial
relations this afternoon in an effort to
settle a wage dispute. The controversy
concerns an award by the court for
employees of the company in the two
cities.
When the ward was made the court
held that it should not be retroactive.
The employees, however wanted the
period from May to August included
in the payment order. Officers of the
company want the court to stand on
its original order under. the contention
that no increase in revenues was al
lowed for the period in dispute. An
effort will be made to reach a settle
ment. In event this fails, the en-
ployes will seek supplemental order
from the court
Among the officials of the street
railway companies attending the hear
ing are: Albert NJ. Patten, general
manager; John F. Zinn, president Of
the Topeka company; and J. r. Van
Den Grogh, manager of the Wichita
company.

SHOWERS DUE TODAY
Not Much Change in Temperature
Gold Weather Got Lost.
TOpAY,S TEMPERATURES.

Kansas has been cheated. Because
a low pressure area over Arizona and
New Mexico, and a high pressure area
over the northwest have been standing
still for the past three days. instead
Of moving to the east, as all normal,
well-regulated and respectable areas
are supposed to do, S. D. Flora, state
meteorologist, says today that Kansas
may consider the promised cold spell
sidetracked. indefinitely. The low
temperatures in the northwest persist,
however. Montana and North Dakota
had temperatures below freezing last
night. The thermometer stood at Is
degrees in Utah. and Denver had a
drop to 3S degrees last night. But
it isn't coming Kansas way. Defraud-
ed of her cold snap, Kansas must re-
1oice in a soaking rain for the SOUTH
ern and western part of the state,
which has been badly needed there.
Dodge City had 1.54 inches of rain
yesterday; Hays. 2.65 inches; Smith
Center. 10 inch; Phillipsburg, 1.30
inches; Plainville. 1.S0 inches; Hill
CITY, 1 inch; Wichita, SO inch; and
there was a heavy rain at Great Bend.
Wichita has received a total of 1.60
inches of rain in the past three days.
Goodland reported only a trace yes
terday, but previous rains had put that
part of the state in good shape. To-
peka had .29 inch of rain yesterday
ana Kansas CITY. 10 lncn Inc rain
did not confine itself to Kansas. II
rained yesterday in Minnesota, Iowa.
and Missouri and also in Arizona and
New Mexico. The temperature went
to 72 degrees at 4:30 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon and stood at 62 degrees at
s o'clock this morning. The low point
tonight will be about so degrees, and
tomorrow afternoon the temperature
will probably rise again to about rs
degrees.
The highest temperature ever re-
corded in Topeka on October 81 was
SS in 1889, and the lowest was 2S in
1888.

Papers to Support Them.
Will DemOIiSh Plants If Dis
Obeyed They Say.

Dallas. Tex, Oct. 21.-Editors of
several Dallas and Ellis county news
papers have received letters threaten
ing destruction of their plants if the
publications fail to support the de-
mand for Accent cotton, F. M. Spen-
Ger, head of the department of justice
investigative bureau, announced here
today.
The Lancaster Herald was among
the papers threatened, Spencer said.
He refused to make public names of
other papers he said were threatened.
Remember there are plenty of
matchs in Dallas and Ellis counties" :"
was the closing sentence of the alleged
letter to the Herald PLENTY of

said the letters were written from Dali
las.
Department of justice officials be-
lieved the letters were written in con-
nection with the so-called recent
might riders campaign to burn gins
producing cotton before prices go up.
The threats are being investigated, it
was declared.

FACE new CHARGE HAS BACK To WALL
Lloyd George Safely Passes One
Crisis in Parliament.
Labor and Irish Questions Now
Paramount Issues.

London, Oct 21.@The British cab
met went into session late today fol-
lowing announcement that railway
workers have voted sympathetic
strike with the coal miners
News of the surprise vote" of the
railway delegates was received while
the house of commons was in session
ana members of the cabinet left imne-
diately.
After long debate yesterday on
the Irish situation in which the govern
ment was attacked for its policy of
repression" a motion for an investi-
cation of Irish affairs was voted down
in the house of commons last night by
a big majority.
Today the labor situation was to be
brought to the fore and it was ex-
pected an attempt would be made by
William Adamson, labor leader, to
bring up a resolution touching on the
strike and general unemployment.
There was a possibility negotiations
with the miners would be brought
closer by debate today. Altho both
sides in the dispute have announced
they stand for unqualified acceptance
of their demands by their opponents,
it was believed a way would be found
to bring them together. This belief
was shared by other labor organiza-
tions.
Parliament was expected to consider
the labor situation today. Having
George in his administration of Irish
affairs it was believed his views on the
labor problem would be followed in
the house of commons.
