DAYLIGHT SAVINGS.

Misleading its readers by a misrep-
is making frantic efforts to divide
public opinion on the plan to adopt a
local daylight savings schedule in To-
peka.
The supporters of the idea that
would have gone into effect this sum
mer have no intention of forcing the
issue unless 1t meet with hearty sup
port and cooperation on the part OF
employees and employers.
The morning paper is worrying
about the confusion that would be
brought about by tampering with the
clock. The plan never included the
adjusting of the time. 1t simply was
projected to feel out the sentiment of
the people in regard to arranging
working hours that the days duties
would be over an hour earlier this
summer. 1t was brought out plainly
that the clocks would not be touched
and that there would be no variance
with national time.
The morning paper speaks of sad
ding the people with a city ordi-
nance" This never was even a remote
idea. There was nc suggestion that
the city's time be guided by law. 1t
was left to the employers and en-
ployes to arrange their hours of labor.
The morning paper speaks of ''arbi-
trary local arrangements" There is
nothing of an arbitrary nature to the
plan.
Cities all over the United States are
adopting local daylight savings sched-
ules. In some cities the clocks are
moved ahead. In others the factories
and institutions employing labor have
adjusted their working hours and
business houses have followed suit.
Other communities. rather than inter
fere with the schools. have planned to
apply the rule only in the three Yaca-
ton months.
The morning papers references to
golfers and the idle rich is poppy
cock. The idle rich can play golf
and motor and "vacate" to their
hearts content-the clock is of no
concern to them. Daylight savings is
primarily for the laboring man and his
family. If he doesn't want it, the mat
ter is settled then and there.
incidentally it would be a terrible
blow to the morning paper to think
that Senator Capper's Gown home
town" discredited his fight in congress
against the daylight savings plan.
The action of the industrial council
in opposing the daylight schedule I'M
doubtedly buries the issue in Topeka
this year. If the resolutions represent
the general sentiment of the employees,
the daylight flash is only a shooting
star.
Exit-the daylight savings plan.

USING BROWN SUGAR
Topeka Restaurants Unable to Obtain
White Variety.

Some of the Topeka restaurants
have been compelled to revert to the
use of Cuban sugar to supply sweet
ness to their patrons.
The problem of getting refined su-
gar in Topeka has reached a critical
stage. Grocers report little on hand.
one wholesaler today said he had just
received the first car in thirty days
and that the prospect of getting more
in the near future was very dim.
The Cuban sugar is brown, unre-
fined. 1t has sweetening qualities
equal to the white sugar and the only
objection to it is it's look, grocers say.
If is much coarser than the ordinary
varieties of brown sugar. Even this
variety, however, is hard to obtain.

NO DAYLIGHT SAVINGS"
Topeka Industrial Council Opposes
Plan for This Summer.

The daylight savings flash in To-
peEa was extinguished last night when
the industrial council passed resolu-
tons against the adoption of a new
schedule in this city this summer.
The plan was launched Wednesday
when several employers and employees
of the city suggested that the hours
be changed in the industrial institu-
tions to conform with the original day
light savings plan of war times. 1t
was not the idea to adjust the clocks.
1t was not suggested that the plan be
subjected to city ordinance.
Now that the working men have de-
cided they do not want a change in
time. the matter will be dropped in

Among the many causes Of high
prices that have been cited is that of
underproduction. Illustrating this
shortage of basic materials it is point

tons less of anthracite produced than
in 1918; nine million tons less of steel

Who are these alleged farmers who
are asking the president to veto the
railroad bill? We have it on the
authority of Senator Capper, who is a
self-constituted spokesman for the
farmers, that they want the railroads
returned to the owners. 1t is generally
conceded that without legislation
along the lines of the conference bill,
the roads soon would revert to the
government.

ELECTRIC MACHINERY
 FOR THE KL MINES

Operations are being rushed on the IXL mine, the company under the d.: rection of G. D. Atlee driving the drifts from the 26O level along the ore bodies. These drifts have open ed some splendid ore bodies, the greater part being high grade milling rock, with considerable tonnage of high grade.
 The company is now installing a big plant of electric machinery on the mine and eI~ectt to Lave it in opera tion within the next few weeks, when sinking will be resumed on the main shaft. In the drift to the north a heavy body of water has been en- countered, which indicates the prox- unity of big ore body in that part of the property. The mine, so far as developed, shows a most wonderful body of silver and gold ore. Deep CT exploration should bring to light a compact body of ore that will amaze the old timer both in richness and ex- tent. The development of the veins on the present level has shown far greater than any person thought pos sible to open in the IXL.

STRIKE AT SWANSEA

The recent taking over of the Swansea mines by the Consolidated Smelling company caused strike of miners because of the change of scale. The Clark interests paid the Miami scale and the new operators put the Humboldt scale into effect, which is about 60 cents below the oth- CT. The old miners refused to work for the new scale and walked out, leaving camp immediately. New men have been put to work and the mine is expected to be full handed again soon. There was no disorder, the miners accepting the situation peace ably. As Miami, Globe and Bisbee need many miners the workers will be able to obtain employment at tfe scale they were receiving before the walkout.
 The Consolidated Arizona Smelling company is to operate the old Copper Prince property for it's fluxing ores, the values in gold, silver and copper being quite low, but high in silica content. The Clark people had built a big mill and had operated it suc- cessfuly the past two years.

CORP. COMMISSION TO
 FIGHT COURT ACTION

As a result of the visit of George N. Brown of Washington, D. C., former chief examiner for the interstate com merce commission and now attorney for the minority stockholders of the Schuylkill Mining company, the state corporation commission Thursday de- cided to intervene in the proceedings brought by the minority stockholders for the appointment of receiver for the property of the company, the old Tennessee mine in this county. A hearing on the petition is to take place here today.
 On account of the absence from the state of Assistant Attorney General Candy, attorney for the corporation commission, Lloyd w. Jones was Thursday appointed for this hearing.
 Some weeks ago, on the complaint of the minority stockholders, the cor poration commission issued an order directing the mining company to sub init it's books for inspection and or dered it to take no action that would change the status of the company.

BIG ORE SHIPMENTS.

The shipments of ores through the port of Nogales for the month of July reached close to 5000 tons a gain of several hundred tons over that for June. The port has been receiv- ing a big ore tonnage the past year and this will grow to greater dimen- sions as soon as the mine operators are assured of full protection. At Naco the shipments of ore are begin ming to reach normal and the same is true of Fl Paso. These ports ship practically all the ore that goes out of the Mexican republic by rail. The shipments through Naco are smelted at Douglas in either the Copper Queen or C. X A. Shelters, while the ship ments through Nogales is forwarded to San Francisco or Fl Paso.
