ASK OPINION FROM ATTORNEY.
City Commission Discusses Plans for
Additions to Power Plant.

The proposal of a committee of the
Chamber of Commerce to install addi
tional boilers at the consolidated power
plant of the water and light depart
ment to provide for future needs in an
industrial way was considered by the
city commission today. The Chamber
of Commerce visited the plant several
days ago and made the recommended
ton that the city install the additional
boilers.
A motion was made by Commission
err w. A. Stanfield of the water de-
partment to have the city attorney
give an opinion as to the legality of
spending money from the bond issue
to install q ESQ horsepower boiler to
replace low pressure boiler and to
sell the old boilers and fittings.

TO RECEIVE SHORT PAY CHECKS
Employees of Topeka Railway COM
pany VIII Get Less Money.

Employees of the Topeka railway
company will take a cWt of two to
five cents an hour pending further
investigation and final decision by the
court of industrial relations. The
reduced pay checks are effective with
the mid-July payments.
The court today issued a temporary
order in the case. 1t provides for
further investigation, but permits a
reduction at this time subject to
modification and revision later. Pend
ing final settlement of the case the
street railway company will deposit
with the clerk of the court a certi-
fled check covering the difference in
wages formerly paid and the salary
schedule put in effect by the tempo
Pary order.
No date has been fixed for resum-
ing the hearing.

SANTA FE RE-EMPLOYS MEN
Six Hundred Go Back to Work on
Eastern Lines.


Men who were recently laid off from
the Santa Fe shops, and section men
who also have been out of work for
few months, are very much interested
in the announcement that the Santa
Fe is putting 900 additional track la
borersl back to work on its eastern
lines and that fifty carmen have been
returned to the company's shops at
Wichita and Newton.
Efforts to connect this report, with
the probability of the company putt
ting more men back to work in the
Topeka shops. have been unsuccess-
full, but on account of the increased
freight traffic and heavy demand for
cars there is room to expect that some
increase to the working offices of the
company may be made at this place.
Officials will not say that an increase
is contemplated, but they refuse to
say none will be made.
It is known that business conditions
for the railroads are improving and
it is only natural that the first ad-
vantages to labor should appear in
the east and felt here later.

POSTPONE PRESS CLUB PICNIC
Newspaper Men To Be Entertained at
Industrial School Later IN Season.

Toe many picnics and not enough
cool weather makes newspaper men
dull At least that is what Topeka
Press club members decided Monday
night, as they voted to postpone the
event scheduled at the Boys Indus
trial school Friday afternoon.
The members appreciate Capt. w.
P. MacLean's kindness and his hospi-
tally. Their wives will undoubtedly
be disappointed in missing a real Press
club picnic. 1t may be held later in
the season, however. Provided the
sun spots disappear and Old Mother
earth cooIs off until a man can play
baseball without melting.
