SETTLE Mill CASE
Employers Must Take Care of
Faithful Workers.
Market Conditions Beyond Con-
troll of MilIers.
THEY DID NOT VIOLATE LAW
Production Was Not Curtailed
by Topeka Plants.
Special Committee Is Appointed
by the Court.
THEY DID NOT VIOLATE Law

Faithful and skilled workers must
be taken care of by industrial plants
which are forced to make retrench-
ments in meeting business conditions,
according to a ruling of the court of
Industrial relations today in the To-
peka mill case. The court held that
market conditions are beyond the con-
troll of the millers and that so long as
they did not retard production to the
point where adequate food supplies
were threatened, there was no viola
tion of the state law.
All of the court judges Joined in the
opinion which was written by w. l..
Higgins. presiding judge of the court.
1t declares that men of long service
and records of fidelity to their employ
ers must be taken care of in any read
justment of operation brought about
by changing business conditions. The
court did not find any evidence show
ing wanton curtailment of production.
While the mills are operating but so
per cent capacity-an average of IL
to 8 hours a day instead of "a hours
there is no shortage of flour. To
the contrary millers are unable to
market their present output, the court
found.
Owes Much to Employees.
Judge Higgins in his opinion held
that while capital might be declared
to be a commodity, such a finding
could not be made as to labor. In
the matter of economic adjustments
the court states that the employer
owes to faithful employees of long serv-
ice certain responsibilities which can
not be evaded.
Reports concerning continuity of
operation and production of flour will
be required by the court, This in
formation will be gathered thru com =
mittee of three men named by the
court. Future readjustments of work
ing conditions brought about by mar
kets and other controlling matters,
must be taken up with the special
committee. If necessary they will be
finally determined by the court itself.
The special committee is composed
of c. V. Topping, secretary of the Kan
sas MiIIers' association; L. A. Fitz OF
the state Agricultural college. and w:
6. Eneh. accountant for the industrial
court.

BANKER NOW HELD
Middelkauff of Vesper Inter-
ested in BrOeker Institution.
Warrant Charges He Gave H.
legal Security for Note.

Salina, Kan. Dec. Civ. B. Mid
relkauff. banker of Vesper, Kan. who
was also financially interested in the
defunct Kansas State bank of 'Salina,
was arrested today on a state war
rant, charging him with obtaining
$4,000, on February 10, 1919, on
false representations. The warrant
was secured by Brown-Cummer In
vestment company of Wichita
In the petition. the company alleges
that it purchased a s26,000 note
signed by Middelkauff and others for
$4,000. That Middelkauff scheduled
his assets at s203.300 and his Habili-
ties at So, 900, net worth at $251, 900.
Subsequent events proved that the
real estate was in trust for his wife,
and could not be given as an asset.
The note was given February I0,1e19
and payable August 10, 1919 The
note has since gone into judgment.
Middelkauff furnished bonds of $1,000
for his appearance on February 3.
