Leaven worth, Kas. = Thrust back into the Kansas penitentiary because he violated his parole by marrying the daughter of the former warden of the prison. Elmer Inman is placing hope that his shattered love romance will be restored through executive ciemency.
 His bride of six weeks formerly was Miss Lavona Codding. society bud" and daughter of J. K. Codding, assist ant states attorney general. Until last spring Codding was warden of the pen itentiary. The marriage, which was revealed when Inman was again placed in prison. took place at Bartlesville. Okla.

Plead for Living Wage.

CHICAGO, May lib. NJ. Jewell,
president of the railway employees de
partment of the American federation
of labor, filed his reply yesterday TO the
final arguments presented to the rail-
road labor board by the railways in
support of their plea for a general re-
ductIou of the w2ues of common labor.
I'm his statement Mr.. Jewett held
that ON the fundamental ISSUES of the
case the carriers said nothing beyond
declaring that questions of human
rights and human standards We're IL
relevant and had only emphasized their
financial needs
Mr. Jewell argued that it would be
q fundamental injustice if the board
should grant a reduction in the rates of
pay because of the financial condition
of the roads He said that unless the
needs of normal family were used as
the basis for establishing a minimum
wage, the tendency would be to discour-
age marriage or make necessary the Ia
bor of wives and young children, or
cause a deterioration of the health of
families affected
Mr.. Jewell quoted statistics to show
that the United States possessed ample
power of production to sustain a high
general standard of living and added:
But it is obvious that America can
not utilize those produce powers to thu
| fun unless she allows to the workers &
purchasing power that viii enable then
| to 20 into markets and buy the thing,
