TOPEKA, Kans, Dec. 22-.-Em. loyers
of workmen in essential industries in
Kansas must arrange to take care Of
their skilled and faithful employees
during times of depression under q
decision issued by the Kansas Court Of
Industrial Relations yesterday in a
complaint brought by employees against
the Topeka Flour Mills, which recently
closed down to about half its capacity.
"A very important question connected
with the matter before us is its effect
upon labor" said the court in announc-
ing its decision. "The people of Kan
sas have solemnly declared by legis-
lstive act that workers engaged in this
industry shall at all times. receive a
fair wage and have healthful and moral
surroundings. In the reduction of the
hours of operation, therefore, the mill
ers should be very careful and solici-
tous concerning the matter Of labor
Skilled and faithful employees should
be given such treatment as will enable
them during the period Of limited pro-
duction to support themselves and
families.
Skilled Men Paid by Month
The evidence before US shows that
in the Topeka mills skilled men are
being paid a monthly wage and are,
therefore. drawing pay whether the
mill is running or not. SO far as it is
possible to do so this rule should be
recognized in all the mills of the state,

Capital Must Care for Skilled
Hell p in Dull Times, Says Court
Kansas Industrial Tribunal Insists Aged and
Trained Employees Be Kept Monthly Pay
When Mills Are Obliged to Reduce Forces

tor 1t IS necessary to the promotion Of
the general welfare that skilled and
faithful workers always should be avail
able for these essential industries
which so vitality affect the living con-
ditions of the people,
Kansas flour mills are essential in
dustr1es, under the terms of the In
dustrial Court law, and the mills are
subject to regulation by the court. But
the court has found nothing to Indicate
that the mills are closing down in an
effort to maintain prices or curtail
production. The case was brought be-
iorc the court by some Of the mill en-
ployees, who asserted that they had
been thrown out of work.
Mill Warehouses Full
The court found that the mill wave
houses were full Of -four and the ele-
vators full of wheat and the mills
were actually operating at about 60
per cent Of their capacity. The opin-
ion of the court was written by ". L..
Higgins, presiding judge, who assert
ed that the people Of the state were
able to get all the -four desired prompt
ly and there didn't seem to be any evil
dence which would warrant any further
proceedings against the millers at this
time. The court found that operation
at 60 per cent of capacity was reason
able continuity Of service.
The court announced the appoint
ment of a committee to draft the rules
and regulations to be adopted by the
court relating to the milling industry
of the state. The millers will be re-
quired to obey these regulations when
it comes to closing down or limiting
production in any way.

$3.50 Named for DUTY
Noted Fighters Sighted
Hundreds Who Made History
in France Smart Under
Accusation of Inefficiencv

From the Tri5une's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-No action
by Secretary of War Newton D. Baker
since the beginning of his term as
head of the army has had more wide
spread effect in lessening the morale
Of the commissioned personnel Of the
army than his approval Of the list of
eligibles for general staff duty made
public to-day by the War Department.
The list contains only 3o6 officers
Of the regular army, and al equal
number of civilians who served with
distinction during the war. The sclec-
tions were made by committee of Of
fcers, headed by General John J..
Pershing. and apparently there is no
appeal from it.
Hundreds of army officers are smart
ing under the blanket accusation Of
''inefficiency" brought against them by
reason of their names being omitted
from the list. The selections were
made from the list of 1886 army Of
fcers with ranks Of captain and up
ward. The implication against those
nots selected, many OF whom had di-
visional or staff commands during the
World War is that they are lack
ing in "education, military experience
and character" r"-thrce prerequisites re-
CURED by the wording Of the national
defense act, under which the staff is
selected.
Men Who Made History Omitted
Men who made history in France,
who led entire corps. or who were at
the head Of their divisions in some Of
the most terrific fighting of the war
have been arbitrarily classed as un-
fitted for staff duty and in order to
be eligible for future service with
the staff they must go TO "school'
and traverse the same road that the
youngest lieutenant in the service must
tread.
Although the list was compiled by
General Pershing, Major Generals
James W. McAndrew, head Of the gen
eral staff college; Charles II. Muir and
Hugh A. Drum, Of the Leavenworth
army schools; Brigadier General Frank
T. Hines, formerly chief Of transporta-
ton Of the general staff and Briga-
dier General Samuel d. Sturgis, Secre-
tary Baker to-day took full RESPONSE

similar testimony.
According to Mr. Morrow the plan
was carried out afte' conferences with
Director George Otis Smith, of the

it was that Congress had made no ap-

Efforts of the iron pipe manufacture
ers Of the country TO prevent the in
PRODUCTION of new appliances in the
plumbing business which would reduce
the cost Of building construction were
uncovered in yesterdays session of the
Lockwood committee on housing.
The testimony showed that in Several
instances the manufacturers were sup

plumbers associations and the union
of journeymen plumbers.
A combination of metal ceiling con-
tractors was also added to the long
list Of building trades rings which
have already been exposed by The i'll
