Baruch talked about crops, business
and politics-in his visit here today.
The former war board head would
never qualify for a pussy foot cam
paign in Kansas politics. He answers
questions right off the bat and he
doesn't dodge or sidestep. From the
wheat crop to the senate campaign
investigation Baruch talked as freely
as tho he discussed the possibility of
another afternoon thunder shower.
There is one big stone wall ahead
of the farmers in carrying out a sys-
tenn of collective bargaining" Baruch
told a State Journal representative fol-
lowing a luncheon in his honor at the
home of Theodore Hammatt, S24 Polk
street. Il haven't worked out the de-
tails of the plan for collective bargain
| ing in my own mind. I am out here
to study and ask questions more than
to talk. When this thing is clearly
organized in my own mind, then they
can ask all the questions they like and
I will be ready for them"
worlds Biggest shopper.
The former war board head was the
biggest shopper in the world during
the war. He has first hand informa-
ton about every character of produc-
ton and marketing in the country. He
lis convinced the farmers may save
many millions of dollars thru sys-
tenn of cooperative and collective
marketing.
But the question of capital is vital,
as well as the character of the organ
ization and the men in charge of the
work" said Baruch. There is no rea-
son, tho, why the producer and the
consumer should not be brought near
er and millions of dollars in profits &c
middle men eliminated"
Middle Men Producers.
Baruch was asked what would be-
come of the middle men.
They would have to become pro-
iducers,' he fired back
one plan advanced by Barucf
would call for scientific study of al
essentials and their production-shoes
clothing. machinery, sugar and Other
! necessities. Thru organized buying
I the manufacturer would make bis
saving and the consumer would dodge
the retailer and middle men profits.
Then the talk switched to politics
What part have you taken in th'
! Democratic national campaign tun(
activities was asked. following pre-
Iiminary discussion of the recent eX
animation of Chairman White befor'
the senate committee.
Given Nothing to Campaign.

DARKNESS AND STORM
Street Cars. Motor Cars and Stores
Lighted During Severe Thunder
Shower Today.

Topeka was the center of a thun-
derstorm which visited Shawnee and
adjoining counties shortly after 2
o'clock this afternoon. The storm de-
scended rapidly from the northwest
and for a time the city was in dark
ness and department stores to motor
and street cars, lights were quickly
called into service.
A driving wind drove the heavy
downpour over the city in sheets of
rain that drenched pedestrians who
were unable to reach shelter ahead of
the sudden storm. 1t was a rough aft
ernoon for the matinee crowds and
tied up downtown shopping for an
hour
Clouds, hanging low as the storm
approached, caused fearful citizens in
many districts 10 seek shelter from a
possible wind storm. In Topeka. tho,
the wind was merely strong enough
to drive the rain in waves thru the
streets and to aid in tying up street
car service in districts where sewer
facilities were inadequate to care for
the near deluge The approaching
storm was one of the most threaten
ing witnessed in Topeka in many
months.
AS the Journal went to press at
8 o'clock the precipitation in Topeka
had reached SO of an inch.

Cupid Receives Body BLolD

range matters so that you can quit
work in freight auditors office.
Married women after December
cannot work in the freight auditors
office of the Santa Fe general offices,
and if the rest of the department
heads comply with one of the old,
time-honored customs of the Santa Fe
to refuse to employ married women.
many brides will go back to their hus-
bands for support.
THE custom of asking women en-
ployes who have married while in the
Santa Fe service to try to arrange
matters immediately so they can get
out is a time honored one with the
Santa Fe," said w. w. Strickland,
freight auditor, today. During the
war, however, we became lax with this
custom, and many women who mar
ried shortly before the war. or wnen
their husbands-to-be were called TO
the colors, were permitted to remain
in the service. Now that the war is
over, we are discouraging all married
women from working in the ofrlce,
and are giving them sixty days in
which to arrange matters so they can
withdraw from the service
divided interests is the reason
given by Strickland for the move.
Work Is Superior.
1--WE find that when a woman em-
ploye is married, her work becomes
inferior, and with very few exceptions
she shows an inaptitude to get down
to business" he said Married bliss

soon as housekeeping and looking
after a husband and. maybe, baby

are discouragi ging them from working

she becomes married, because her
Iect."
Other departments in the Santa Fe
have never made a practice of allow
ing married women to remain in the
service, according to Strickland. The
girls in the ticket auditors office are
notified Immediately after the we'd
ding, he claims, and in the majority
of departments in the big Santa Fe
offices the same is true.
There Are Exceptions.
"Of course, there are exceptions, :"
said Strickland. IF We find that a
girls husband is unable to support
her, and she can do her work as well
as before her marriage, we allow her
to stay in the service until her hus-
band can improve domestic conditions.
One instance in this office of that kind
"a woman who had been in the serv-
ice twenty years, was married and her
husband was unable to support both
his wife and her widowed mother. she
remained in the Santa Fe employ and
always kept her work up to Al quail
ity, but these cases are rare. In sew
eral instances in this office, the girl
was married because she knew that
the rules for her dismissal were not
being enforced. One reason that this
action is being taken is to let tbs
women employees understand that with
their marriage, their positions are en-
dangered. We believe that this action
will prevent foolish marriages"
The office employees seem to be TAX
ing the enforcement of the old custom

Denies Charges in Connection

Organized study of markets, raw

elimination of middle men are vital
essentials in a collective bargaining
program which was presented today
to the state board of agriculture by
Bernard Baruch, former head of the
war industries board. Finance is one
of the big walls blocking the crop

Only Pedestrians Allowed to Gross
Span, Due to Repairs.

Melan bridge. across the Kaw river
on Kansas avenue, was closed at 3
o'clock this morning in order to make
pavement repairs. The work is pro-
crossing rapidly and unless the wealth
er intervenes the bridge will be open
to traffic again tomorrow noon, w. S.
Hancock, street commissioner, said to-
day.
The heavy rain Thursday afternoon
delayed the workmen half day. The
pavement on the bridge this morning
was wet and had to be brushed and
dried before operations could be be-
gun. More rain would halt the laying
of the asphalt and keep the bridge
closed longer than expected, Hancock
said.
Traffic to and from North Topeka
this morning was light. the merchants
having stocked up against the two
days as much as possible. The trucks
and motor cars that made the trip,
however, went around the Santa Fe
shops by the river" road and crossed
