November. 1918. it has been estimated that about SO,000 Jews from Russia, Poland, Galicia and East Prussia have come to Berlin. The Jewish popu3a-s tion of the capital now is estimated at 21o,o00 persons. The great infu1 of Jews stirred up feeling becausscoz the widespread circulation of reports that many of the Jews were speculat- ing in foodstuffs and other necessities. ana also operating as money lenders,
 The Jews are generally keeping of the streets today. The rescrudescencs of the anti-Jewish movement is at tributed by some to the attempts of the conservatives to combat the grow ing strength of the radical clements many leaders of which are Jews.

MINERS IN A DEFY
Kansas Unions Cali Upon Men,
: berShip to Strike.
Most Defiant Act of Labor Since
= the New Law.

Pittsburg, Kan, Aug. IA pro-
clamation issued by a dozen local
unions of the Kansas u. NJ. w. A. calls
upon the entire membership of the
district to strike until fines imposed
upon men who refused to work on
Saturdays have been refunded by the
operators. The proclamation an
r45i4pces that the strike call was or
dered at the mass meeting of miners
in Mulberry Sunday when the vote
was 17s for and eight against.
I'VE call upon the entire member
ship OF District ~ L. NJ. w. A." the
proclamation reads. ito cease the pro-
duction of coal until such fines have
been refunded and we realize without
Fyour support we have lost"
Important Development.
The action of the group of local
unions issuing the cali for strike is
velopment in the Kansas strike situa-
ton for several days. Alexander
Howat. the Kansas district president,
who was directed by John L. Lewis.
the national presidnt, to put the Kan
sas miners back to work is at Cleve-
land, O.. attending the scale joint con-
ference. left Kansas, shifting the re-
sponsibility for remaining out to the
men themselves. The action of the
men at Mulberry is regarded as the
first test of strength of the radical
element supporting Howat with the
miners who are opposed to Howat's
radical leadership.
Investigation of the strike order is
to be made at once, according to in
court of industrial relations. Criminal
prosecutions may be directed against
mine union officials who are respon-
sible for issuance of the strike decree
and the calling of the Mulberry meet
ing.
Under the Industrial court law the
calling of a strike which has for its
purpose retarding of production of es-
sentia1s is felony. The strike order
which was posted in the mining dis
trict today is probably the most de-
fiant act of any labor organization
since passage of the labor court law.
It is a challenge to the state and the
industrial court to bring operation of
the law TO final and decisive test.
Court members, however, are dis
posed to take a more tolerant view of
the situation. They point OF the fact
that Mulberry is in the heart of the
radical and red district and that its
DEGREES carry small weights in the
more conservative districts.
None the less the court will take
action Immediately to investigate both
the strike order and the organization
which promoted the Mulberry meet
ing In event a conspiracy to prevent
operation OF the mines is shown,
criminal prosecutions will be directed
against the leaders. There is no in
timation that action Is to be taken
against the individual strikers.

Industrial Court Said to Favor
Hike in Kansas.
NEAR DOLLAR IN TOPEKA
Service Charge May Be Added
to Costs Here.
And Still We Wonder at the
High Cost of Living!

After another year of argument and
litigation regarding natural gas rates
and service. the consumers are to pay
an increased rate. Orders being pre-
pared this afternoon by members of
the court of industrial relations are
expected to give to the producing
companies practically the rates con-
tended for a year ago-possibly a Iit-
tie more.
New rate orders will affect towns
I; served by the Kansas Natural as well
as the Wichita Natural A general in
ferease is forecast. The heavy boost
tho. will be in the Wichita field, where
advances are expected in keeping with
Kansas Natural rates-distance from
field considered.
Higher Rate for Topeka.
Topeka is due for another increase
in rates The local rate will go above
the present eighty-cent schedule. ac-
cording to expressions in the state
house, but may not pass the one dol
lar mark. Adoption of :he service
charge. however. would cause small
consumers to pay more than a dollar
for gas. There is an element OF doubt,
tho. as to whether the service charge
will be included in the new rate order.
In addition to Topeka, the cities of
Kansas City, Lawrence, Leavenworth
and Atchison are affected by the Kan
sas Natural boost. Other towns are
| hit by nominal orders. In the field
served by the Wichita Natural de-
cided increases are indicated. These
rates will require payment of a rate
/ in keeping with charges to northern
towns, altho consid Grafton is given
proximity of the Wichita district to
the producing fields.
Victory for DOherty.
Henry L. Doherty interests have
seemingly won a complete and deci-
sive victory in the new rate order.
Towns which a year ago fought the
proposed schedules before the former
public utilities commission appeared
this year to seek favorable rate agrees
ments-and a little more gas.
Proposals as announced from the
industrial court to eliminate lawyers
from the consideration of the gas
trouble seemingly failed to produce
relief for the consumers. Much of the
/ testimony before the industrial court
during recent hearings reiterated
statements of witnesses in the 1919
hearing.
| The general plan for increased rates
was agreed upon today by judges OF
ments or notifications to the order
may be made when It Is finally con-
| sidered late today or wednesday. The
| detailed plan of the proposed three
way rate is said to have been re-
moved in the new order. altho the new
rate schedule is expected to produce
pra cticalIy the same revenue as urged
under the new theory for gas distrlbu-
ton.

CHARGING NEW FARE TODAY
Topekans Fall Into Ticket Plan With
out Further Trouble.

Mr.. Commuter and the Commuter
Boys. Girls, Etc, added one quarter
of a cent to their street car contribu-
tions today without a whimper. The
eleventh hour postponement of the
hike from s ceats 70 variation
6 4 e cents gave every one an oppor-
tunity tos purchase tickets. AS a re-
suit the city was well provided with
pasteboard rides today and the con-
ductors who usually toy with their
penny belts from the suburbs to Kan
sas avenue, happily watched the
tickets drop into the glass cages as
they rang up their fares.
The prediction made by Manager
Patten that the street car company
really wouldn't get an Scent fare, but
instead the patrons would buy ~ =
cent tickets has come true. Rich and
poor alike have the economy habit
and the ticket selling stations have
been rushed with buyers since the
opening Monday morning.
The new plan may not add much
revenue to the company in payment
for their 80 per cent rail- 90 the en-
ployes, but it has made lie less a buy
den to the conductors Few passen-
gers pay the IN cent token" fare.
