QUESTION A COURTS POWERS
Point of Jurisdiction Raised by the
Railroads in Motion Filled in
Topeka Recently.

The railroads have raised the ques-
ton of the Jurisdiction of the new
industrial court to investigate and
make any orders relative to the
wages or conditions Of labor Of rail-
road employees. The railroads filed
with the court a motion asking for a
definite statement from the court on
the question Of Jurisdiction. It was
pointed out that the government had
returned the roads to the owners and
has created a railroad labor board to
handle and settle all disputes between
the railroads and their employees.
Under previous supreme court decis-
ions, It is maintained by the roads.
that where the government has taken
Jurisdiction no state regulating body
has any authority or right to get into
the case.
1t is also set out in motion Of the
companies that the roads are now
paying the scale OF wages agreed upon
by the director general and the off,
GERS OF the unions previous to the re-
turn Of the roads to private ownership
and operation. 1t is further asserted
that since the return of the roads
the employees had filed no request
for additional pay or changes in work
ing conditions and there had been no
opportunity given for the roads and
their employees to discuss a new
scale or contract. While no specific
claim is made Of the exemption from
the court because of no attempt be-
ing made to secure a settlement, it
is intimated in the motion that the
roads are disposed to question the
right Of the employees to go into the
court until after the roads and en-
ployees had failed to reach an agree
ment
The motion was filed in the first
Of the cases brought by railroad en-
ployees since the roads were released
from government control The COM
plant was brought by the Brotherhood
of Stationary Engineers, and oilers,
roundhouse and shop laborers Of the
state.

SAYS WHEAT CROP NOT RUINED
Secretary Mohier Declares Warm
Rains Will Soon Restore Much
Of Damaged Grain Acreage.

]. G. Mohler, secretary Of the Kan
sas board of agriculture, discounted
the reports Of tremendous damage TO
the wheat from the recent high winds.
This isn't new thing in Kansas,
said Mr. Mohler. I'VE have winds in
Kansas every year, just as high and
bad as the one the other day. It is
typical March weather.
There isn't any doubt that the
wind did lot of damage; how much
we cannot tell at present. But it is
a good deal. Bnut just give Kansas
rain and some warm weather and the
farmers will find they have lot OF
wheat growing that now they think
Is all gone. l have seen the same
thing happen many times in the last
thirty years 1t is not unusual There
are fields which look like they were
completely wiped out. But nice
warm rain and a warm day will bring
thousands of acres of wheat that
looks dead out of the wreck and pro
duce a good crop.
In addition to this, only part OF
the big wheat country is affected.

~ injured, as there were heavy fall
rains and considerable snow. In the
south central and southwestern parts
of the state the winter has been ex-
tremely dry and there considerable
wheat was entirely blown away or
covered up
S. D. Flora, federal meteorologist,
said weather in the big South Central
Kansas wheat belt has been the driest
in thirty years.
Being of a sandy nature the soil
was susceptible to removal by the
high wind and undoubtedly the dam
age has been very great" Mr.. Flora
said. The wheat was in poor condi-
ton to weather any kind OF a wind
storm. The growth has been poor
and it had not sufficient roots to hold
it. 1t simply blew away. But it can
not be said that the wheat crop was
destroyed. for considering the i'm
mense acreage. while it was devastat-
ed in some parts OF the state, it will
pull through in other parts

and give his authority for its publ
cation.
M. Comert informed the CORE
spondents this morning that he had
explained to Mr.. Bourgeois the i'm

quested NJ. Bourgeois to say wheth-
er he intended them to be published
in the United States, M. Bourgeois
replied, said M. Comert, that he un-
derstood the Importance Of what he
was saying and was quite willing
the interview should be printed.

PUBLIC HEALTH NOTES

Last week Miss Moore examined
one hundred and forty children of the
Turbeville School and in addition gave
several Health Talks to the children
and similar talk to mothers and
fathers on Friday afternoon.
Most of the children were in splen-
did physical condition, most of their
troubles, where there were any, COM
ing from defective teeth.
Miss Moore says that she received
good cooperation from teachers, child
ren and parents. So anxious was one
little tot of five from the infant class
to follow directions, that when he was
told to say "Ah!" long time, he
opened his little mouth and said "Ah
long time"
At each of the schools she visits,
Miss Moore will give health talk to
the fathers and mothers Of the child
ren. Parents are urged to attend these
meetings, as they will find the talks
of interest and besides it will afford
them an opportunity to meet and talk
with the nurse, who is anxious to
know all Of them.
