Topeka Printers
Cancel Fines for
Alcohol Breath

Here's a law filming a member who
appears at union meeting with an all
cohol breath" said the committee re-
vising the bylaws of the Topeka
typographical union recently. Might
as well have a law filming him for ap-
pearing with a silk hat. Printers SIM
ply don't do those things any more"
SO the fine for intoxication was elm
mated as being immaterial and en-
tirely superfluous.
The eighteenth amendment and the
Kansas bone dry law are given credit
by the printers as the agencies which
finished the eliminating process. but
the union contends that drunkenness
among printers commenced to de-
crease with the adoption of the eight
hour day. The. long work day gave
the old timer an excuse to work with
a bottle hidden near his case. or car
ried inside his shirt, on the pretext
that he had no time to do anything
but work. eat and sleep and the kick
was necessary to keep him going.
When the shorter work day came the
employer demanded more efficiency
and the printer formed associations
for his leisure hours where the alcohol
breath was mon grata." The sober

drunken printers only a historic mem

ROB BEAGLE BANK
Three Bandits Take All Cash
on Hand.
Flee Miami County in High.
Powered Auto.

Three men this morning robbed the
of Beagle. Miami county. The men
took all the cash in the bank and es-
capped in a high powered motor car.
Thousands of dollars worth of bonds
placed in the bank for safe keeping by
customers, had recently been sent to
Kansas City where more adequate
strong box facilities are provided. For
this reason losses were confined to the
actual funds of the bank. Several
thousand dollars were taken, accord
ing to reports.
Lock Cashier in Vault.
The robbers drove into Beagle short
ly after the bank opened this morn
ing. They entered the bank building,
held up the cashier and locked him in
the vault. The bandits then took the
currency and loose cash in the vault
and money drawers Not until after
the men had left town in their car was
the robbery discovered.
First news of the hold-up came to
Walter E. Wilson, state bank commits
sioner. in telephone call from Paola,
Miami county seat 1t is believed the
men drove to Kansas City. The exact
loss of the bank has not been deter
mined.
Under action of the Kansas Bank
ers' association, a reward of $1,000
will be paid for each of the robbers
dead or alive. The standing offer of
the Banking association has tended to
reduce the number of bank robberies
In Kansas and has resulted in numer-
Gus arrests. The Beagle hold-up is the
first bank robbery in this state in sew
eral weeks.
