HEAVY HOLIDAY TRAFFIC.
Railroads Making Arrangements t.
Handle Increased Travel.

Special arrangements are already
made for taking care of the holiday
local traffic. A letter of special in
structions has been sent out from the
office of the general passenger agent
of the Santa Fee in Topeka, instrucrlpS
division superintendent along the
line to spot such extra equipment
as will certainly be needed at the
points where it can be put into emer-
gency service quickly, and to arrange
to hold local trains in order to make
branch connections. Locals Which do
not ordinarily wait on late thru trains
will be held during the holiday season,
|if one of the thru trains happens to
be late, SO that the passengers who
are depending on making a certain
connection which will get them home
Just in time for Christmas, will not be
disappointed. In some cases stun
trains will be run to take care of the
anticipated overflow from the regular
trains, and in case the regular trains
are late.
Local traffic is bound to be doomed
by the fact that this year Christmas
means a two-day vacation-Saturday
and Sunday. Everybody and the KIDS
will be travelling this year, the passen-
ger officials believe.
The closing dates of all the colleges
along the line have to be watched. ana
the dates given to the superintendents
of the divisions on which they are To-
Gated. with instructions to have spe-
cial equipment there for the use OF the
homeWard bound students. Special
railway equipment on all the roads IN
Topeka is already being spotted here
to look ont for the holiday trade.

BIG WHEAT ACREAGE
Kansas Farmers Have Seeded Almost
as Much as Last Year.


In spite of the present unfavorable
wheat market Kansas farmers have
seeded 9S per cent as large a wheat
acreage as last year. Hopes of a
higher market next year is responsible
for this, together with the fact that
the corn market is considered even
more unsafe by the farmers, accord
ing to the report of Edward G. Pax
ton, agricultural statistician for the
United States bureau of agriculture
The total wheat acreage this year Is
1O,367,000 as compared with 10,554,-
600 last year. Wheat acreage in
creases We're generally confined to
those counties of the wheat belt that
Gould not seed their full acreage last
year on account of weather condi-
tions.
Kansas has more than one-fourth of
the total winter wheat acreage of the
United States. which this year is 49,
sos, 900, or s7.2 per cent as much as
last year. The growing condition of
the present crop in the state is rated
at IS per cent of normal, as compared
with 81 per cent last year and ten
year average of IS per cent. The av-
erage condition in the United States is
rated at S7.9 per cent.
The crop of the Southern Hepnis-
phere is now coming into harvest I'M
der the most favorable conditions and
will begin to enter the world market
next month. Latest estimates indicate
production in Argentina. Australia

TO labor have met with the brother

discuss a non partisan defensive ALI
ance to fight anti-strike legislation

The fight against anti-strilxe legis-

when Senator LaFollette, Wisconsin,
will move to reconsider passage OF
the Poindexter bill. making strikes
that interfere with interstate or for
eign commerce felonies punishable by
heavy fines and Imprisonment.
Many Questions Involved.
Not only is the right of railroad en-
ployes involved in the present Tight
but the whole value of the Lafollette
seamen's act is admitted to be at stake.
The Poindexter bill, passed upno-
ticed on Thursday while only three OF
four senators were in their seats, ex-
tends it's anu-strike provisions to the
docks. wharves, and ships used as
agencies of foreign commerce
LaFollette is prepared, he said. to
fight to protect the seamen's law. as
well as to prevent the writing into
statute of such a broad anti-strike pro-
vision against workers in interstate
commerce.
Joined with him are many senators
who regard SUCH legislation as unwise
Tho the senate adopted the anti-strike
provisions of the Cummins law, which
later were rejected. sentiment on the
subject has undergone a change.
