Parsons. Kan, May 29.-The KAN
sas industrial court law was invoked
today by Roy Hubbard, assistant at

county attorney, in the strike of Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas switchmen,
which has been in effect four days.
A warrant was issued for arrest of

with Intentionally, wilfully and I'M
lawfully inducing other employees of
the road to quit for purpose of him
dering, delaying, limiting and sus-
pending operations and tying up serv-
ice on the railroad as a common car
rier.
1t was anticipated today that other
warrants would follow. Some of the
strikers have returned to work, but
others still out have been dropped by
the road, which refuses to reinstate

President of Washburn Says College
Friction Harms Institution.

That the state of friction existing in
the administrative affairs of Wash

and may have disastrous results unless
an Immediate and satisfactory settle
ment is reached, apparently is the
general opinion of the faculty and

L believe that a thoro investigation
of the whole situation is advisable -
President Womer said today. Il be-
iieve that the investigation should be
made by men whose intelligence and
honesty may be relied upon"
President Womer declined to state
what method he would choose for an
investigation, and would not comment
upon the siGEed statement of DIR. S. G.
Heffelbower. member of the faculty,
published Friday
important developments relative to
the differences at the college may take
place at the meeting of the board of
trustees Wednesday. it is stated 1t is
rum ored that President Womer may
place his resignation before the board
at that time.
