us. ID CEASE ITS
 MEDIATION EFFORT
 IN LOCAL STRIKE
Liller Advises Wilson He Can Accomplish Nothing and ConciIiator Will Not Be
 Returned
By Associated Press

Washington, February 17.-Efforts of the department of labor to arbitrate the dispute between miners and operators in the Alabama coal fields will be aban- dored for the present with the with drawal of Commissioner of Cancellation WIG. Liller from Alabama, it was stated today by Hugh l.. Kerwin, director of conciliation.
 Mir. Liller was recalled from Alabama last week after having endeavored for four months to adjust the dispute in- volying strike of more than 1200o mine workers, In a report to the department of labor, Liller advised Secretary Wilson that he did not believe anything more could be accomplished in Alabama by his efforts.
 At the department today it was stated that Liller would not be returned to Ala bana, and Director Kerwin stated that after a thorough examination of the sit- us tion, he was of the opinion that for the present at least nothing could be accom- pjlished by any representative of the de- pertinent in the way of conciliation.
 Recall of Liller occurred almost simul- taneously with a telegram of protest from Governor Kilby of Alabama to President Wilson, asking that the department of labor representative be withdrawn be- cause of his alleged objectionable utter ances in the press and in personal cor- respondence with the governor.
 Department of labor officials, comment ing upon the situation, said that although thes miners have agreed to place their dispute before an impartial commission fors settlement, the operators hitherto have refused to consider such a plan, and as the conciliators of the depart ment have no authority to enforce a de- cision, a deadlock has resulted. which for the present appears to defy the at- tempts of mediation of the government.

SNOW SHOES ARE
 ARCTIC ESSENTIAL
Clumsy Looking Pedal Tegu- ments of Northland Next to
 Food in Importance
By Associated Press

Washington, February 17.-Snow shoes, which proved such important Instru- ments in the recent rescue of the Amer ican naval balioonIst from the snow bound wilds of Canada, are little known except iE most general terms outside the localities where they are commonly used. Still, to make them Is fine art and 70 use them is an accomplishment. Walking on snow shoes is learning to walk all over again, says a bulletin on the sub ject by tae American Forestry associa- tion
 Up in the Hudson Bay country snow shoes are almost as important as food. and often much more important if the food is very far away The snow shoes as the term is usually understood is short and broad, and instead of being all wood, it generally consists of a wood en rim or hoop cross-strung with thongs of leather. Snow shoes of this kind arc not always classed as sporting outfits. They are strictly for business during the deep snows and the severe winters ot the far northern regions. Trappers, hunters, and travellers once habitually wore such in winter and moccasns in summer. Custom has changed somewhat now, in regions which have become thickly settled; and the snow shoe and the ski have taken their place among implements of sport
 The snow shoe, with it's broad, latticed, rawhide bottom, is serviceable in walk ing over soft snow. The wearer does not expect to develop much speed. That is where, when snowstorms such as beset the navy's men the snow shoes play q big part Northern hunters make their own snow shoes with hatchet and knife and if leather thongs were not at hand, the lattice soles could be woven of bass wood bark which can De stripped in win ter as well as in summer Bark of sew eral other trees will serve also. Ex- pert woodsmen know the art of heating the bark to make 1t peal in winter and to divide into strands of convenient size for braiding into soles for snow shoes. azE
 The hunter could split his ski material with hatchet and wedges; but the man who used snow shoes for business, near ly always preferred the broad, short pattern. with braided whang bottoms They were more reliable than the long skis. The laticed snow shoe resembles in general way large tennis racket with the handle missing. The body of the shoe is two or, three feet long and F inches or more wide at the broadest part The rim is of ash, hickory or elm The ski is made of beech, birch, maple, ash, or spruce. The latter wood is light CT but not so strong as the others.

Harry Cane and Al D. White scored a triumph at the Lyric performance Thursday afternoon. when the Dill for inc latter half of the week began. They are two well-dressed men weo come on half stage and carry on l5 minutes of solid and genuine enter tainment The act Is made up mostly of songs that are presented in a thoroughly raggy and jazzy mahner. and are notably witty of word and rapid in tune.
 Claude Anderson and Leona Yvel are really exceptional in high classed skating, which they do with a dancing grace. Their skating is accompanied by attractive muDfc and has the same meaning as is often found in couple dancing. Particularly good was the skate dance of the underworld. This offering would have had better ap- oreciation at the first of the bill, but as it was the audience hurried out be- fore seeing the treat in store.
 Adele Oswald is mostly noticeable for a very attractive and womanly per- sonaIity. a distinctive intelligence in her song renditions, and clever pro- gramme of songs. All of her songs were of some phase of New fork iife' very cleverly done and winning a last ing applause from a pleased audience.

BOY SCOUTS Do GOOD WORK
Splendid Record Made in Assisting the
Kansas Teachers.

Topeka Boy Scouts are doing
enough good turns" during the teach
ers' convention here to last them for
the rest of the year-or at least they
ought to be able to do it with several
good turns" to spare. But it is not SO.
AS one uniformed lad, struggling
along under a mass of baggage, put
it: Il got enough good turns here to
last a week. But the scout master
says that a whole days work now is
one good turn, and so I got to stay
good all the rest of the year, too, if l
live up to my scout oath"
Every year the Boy Scouts are en-
trusted with the jobs of baggage
smashers extraordinary to the teach
ers and walking information vendors
for the visitors. This year is no diff
ferent than any other and the boys
manfully shoulder loads of baggage,
grin and stagger off to a teachers
room reservation, where more often
than not the are rendered and re-
fuse pay for the service rendered.
One of the commonest sights on
Topeka streets during a big c0Even-
ton is a uniformed Boy Scout, laden
with anywhere from one to three
pieces of baggage. trudging along in
front of some visitor twice his size
showing the way to a room in the
residence district.

Resolutions To Be Presented at Meet
ing Tonight

lHS Tonight.
The school teachers of Kansas will
endorse the disarmament conference
to be held in Washington, D. c. armi-
stlce day. if they pass a resolution
which is to be presented to them at
the general session tonight
FOLLOWING the address by Raymond
Robins, of Chicago, this morning, in
which the Chicago sociologist and
economist urged the reduction of in
ternational ornaments, the teachers
will tonight act on resolution which
embodies the main points of Robins
this morning
The resolution is as follows:
Resolved, That the seven thousand
teachers of the northeast section of
the Kansas State Teachers's associa-
ton assembled in Topeka, request that
all conclusions of the disarmament
conference be arrived at in sessions in
which discussions are open to repre-
sentatives of the public, and that no
decisions be made in secret sessions.
Resolved, That we believe the mini
mum results of the conference should
be an agreement among the major
powers to discontinue building of
ornaments for period of three years.
Resolved, That the secretary of this
association be instructed to give these
resolutions publicity thru the press and
send a copy to the representatives of
United States in the disarmament con-
ference. and to the Kansas senators
and representatives in congress.
It is to be presented by A. F. Senter,
of Ottawa, spokesman for the resolu-
tons committee of the Topeka sec
ton of the association.
Efforts are to be made to have the
same resolution presented to the other
sections of the convention tonight.

RED CROSS WORK
Activity of Local Chapter
Pointed Out by Officers.
Only One Paid Worker to
Handle Office Duties.

Few Topekans realize what the Red
Cross of Topeka has done for the city
in the last year.. The persons who
gave their dollar membership fee last
year. also those who gave SIS for
contributing fund and $40 for a sus-
tanning fund helped provide nurse
at the tuberculosis sanatorium, they
aided in having baby welfare nurse
for the city, they aided in providing
a nurse for county work and helped
do much constructive work for the re-
turned soldiers.
EX-soldiers and their families are
helped in many ways. The young wives
are assisted in planning their house
hold expenses, Sthey are aided in the
caring of babies and many times the
soldier has been placed in good posi-
tions or is loaned money in a finan-
cial stringency until he can find him
self on his feet again.
Only One Paid Worker.
The only paid worker in the Red
Cross, that is the organization proper,
is the office secretary. In the last
year the city has been providing a
nurse for the county. THE position
will be discontinued next year unless

it's quota which it failed to do last

TRADE ASSN SUIT DISMISSED
Mere Exchange of Price Lists Not
Price Fixing, Says Judge.

Chicago, Nov. 4.-The governments
suit for dissolution of a trade associa-
ton involving thirteen manufacturers
of linseed oil was dismissed in Judge
George A. Carpenters federal court
yesterday for want of equity.
The suit by the government was to
decide the question of whether trade
association may be formed for the
purpose of exchanging price lists and
was regarded as a precedent. the rul-
ing of which would affect the stand
ing of three thousand other such as
sociations thruout the country. Suit
was brought as a part of the govern
ments antitrust prosecutions.
Logic which assumed that because
there is an opportunity to fix prices.
therefore prices are fixed, is con-
trary to the genius and logic of our
law" said the opinion Of Judge Car
penter.
Every man IS presumed to be in
nocent until he is proved guilty. If
the Armstrong bureau is to be dis
solved merely because it afforded the
members an opportunity to fix prices
then this court, with equal propriety
could be asked to dissolve any lunch
club where business men meet This
theory hardly warrants discussion"
