WILL GO TO JAIL
Leader of Chicago "Rump"
Union to Follow HOWat's Lead.
Can Furnish Bond But Says He
Won't Do 1t.

Chicago, April 16-John Grunau.
president of the Chicago Yardmasters'
association, and H. E. Reading, presi-
dent Of the United Enginemen asso-
citation, the two OUTLAW railway
unions. announced this morning that
they would go to Jail on the govern
ment charge of conspiracy to violate
the Lever act
The two. with % of their followers,
were arrested yesterday by federal
agents and released on their own re-
cognizance until 2 o'clock this after
the $4,000 bond set by Commissioner
Mason. Both declared this morning
they would refuse to furnish the bond
asked.
'T can raise the required bail with
ease" Grunua said, but 1 don't in
tend to do it. I question the right of
the government to arrest me- 1 have
committed no crime against the laws
of the country and if the government
officials want to put me in Jail 1 won't
hinder them
Reading declared that its principle
that prompts me to go to jail rather
than give bail"
The organization will not dis
band" he said. Another set of Off
GERS will take the places left vacant
by those who choose to go to Jail with
me. There will be no let up in our
campaign.
I'VE have no quarrel with the gov
ernment or with the railroads. What
we are fighting is the old autocratic
rule of the brotherhoods. Our only
compromise will be for them to accept
our constitution including initiative.

HICKORY SHIRT CONVENTION"
Kansas Democrats Will Take Up Over
all Idea, Hackney Says.

Democracy-100 proof variety-is
the plan of Ed T. Hackney of yelling
ton, state fair price commissioner, who
today urged delegates to the Demo-
crat state convention at Wichita next
Thursday to appear on the floor of the
convention in blue jeans and hickory
shirts. He urges his party leaders to
pioneer big fight on the high cost of
clothing in Kansas.
Hackney1l Wear EN-.
Hackney himself asserts he will go
onto the floor of the Wichita forum
in the popular price garb. What is
more, he today issued a Call to local
Democrats to follow his lead. While
it is quite probable that acceptance of
the fair price commissioners plan
may not be unanimous. it is almost
equally certain that many of the
county delegations will appear in over
aIls and hickory shirts. 1t is also prob
able that the state convention may
voice an expression regarding the
fight on living prices.
Il hope delegates to the state con-
vention in Wichita next week will ap-
pear in the hall in hickory shirts and
jeans overalls,'' Hackney told friends
in the state house today. ut is an
opportunity for Kansas Democrats to
express a spirit of true democracy and
to give some party support to the
fight on the high cost of living. There
shouldn't be known as the hickory
shirt convention.
The fair price commissioner will go
to Wichita as one of the delegates
from Sumner county. He will urge
his home delegation to go to the con-
vention dressed in overalls.
Won't Touch Kansas Court.
None of the strictly state issues
will be taken up in the resolutions
Hackney forecast in answer to a ques-
ton regarding the party stand on the
industrial court act. While a mum Der
of Bourbons have urged condemnation
of the state law, there is a general
fbelief that the matter will not be men
toned.
Selection of at least one woman for
place on the Big -Four was urged by
Hackney. He denied he would be a
candidate for state office in the COM
ing election, altho his name has been
suggested in connection with the gov
ernorship as well as for a place on
the supreme bench.
During the Hodges administration
Hackney was a member of the state
board of administration.
