A Cooperative Commission
House Planned at Lawrence.

Lawrence. Kan. Jan. ga COM
mission house for the cooperative
marketing of the Kaw valley potato
crop will be established as the result
of a meeting here recently of two hun
dred growers who formed themselves
into the Kaw Valley Cooperative Po-
tato Growers association.
Kaw valley potatoes, altho consid-
cred as excellent in food quality, are
comparatively poor keepers. Prac-
tfcal1y all of the crop is shipped to the
east for immediate consumption. The
movement for organizing the growers
originated in Wyandotte county where
some had received unfair treatment
from buyers.
The location of the proposed COM
mission house is to be determined upon
by the board of directors of the asso-
citation which is to consist of eight
members. Six directors will be select
ed from the six leading potato produc-
ing counties in the state-Douglas.
Shawnee, Wyandotte, jefferson, Leav-
enworth and Johnson. There will be
one director at large and one appoint
ed by the Kansas State Farm bureau.
In addition to handling the sale of
the potato crop for members of the
association. the commission house will
furnish seed potatoes and supplies.

Declares Last Hikes Were Only
Emergency Relief.

Chicago, Jan. 29.-Wages of rail-
road workers must come down if the
companies are to weather the indus
trial storm
Means of driving down the wages
mad not been decided upon by the la
Dor committee of the Association of
hallway Executives in session here to-
day.
Agreement was reached among the
five mel-.bers of the committee that
drastic action must be taken imme-
diately and that they would remain
this action would be. They hope to
make announcement on Monday of
what steps will be taken.
Carry Case to Public.
Best information today was that the
railroads would carry their case to
the public, offering to reduce freight
and passenger rates provided they can
lower the wage scale.
Another plan under consideration
was to appeal to the railroad brother
hoods TO accept a voluntary" cut
within the next thirty days. However,
the brotherhoods are known to be
prepared to oppose any attempt at re-
duction and the labor BOARD is doubt
full if this would prove successful In
the event of its failure. they would go
Immediately before the United States
labor board and demand emergency
relief"
Railroad brotherhoods obtained the
last increase for the men on the basis
of emergency relief
Whatever plan is adopted. strong
effort will be made by the railroads
to obtain the public support and ap-
proval of their action. Some members
of the labor committee suggested MAX
ing public payroll secrets which they
said would show huge amounts drawn
by some classes of workers.
Figures presented to the committee
showed that operating expenses must
be reduced approximately s500,0OO,O0O
yearly: provided the federal railroad
labor board grants the right to abro-
gate the national shop agreements,
" hich are now being argued, the Of
ficials believe a saving of s150,00O,0OO
yearly can be effected. but the re-
mainder must be made up thru salary

TO HELP CITY ATTORNEY
Col. Clad Hamilton VIII Assist City
in Local Gas Rate Case.

Col. Cad Hamilton, attorney, will
assist D.. H. Branaman, city attorney,
in protesting for Topeka against the
application of the Consumers Light,
Heat and Power company, to make a
service charge of seventy-five cents
in addition to the eighty cent gas
rate. Col. Hamilton is now retained
as special counsel and is working on
the case, City Attorney Branaman said
today.
The court of industrial relations in
vited the city to join the court in an
investigation of the claims of the gas
company that the service charge is I'M
necessary.
THE seven-five cent service charge
would bring the company an additional
revenue of $4,000" Branaman said to-
day. THE amount asked is outrageous
and the city should not stand for it"
The hearing of the investigation is
set for March 1, having been post
poned from Feb. % at the request of
the gas company.

ever running out, thanks to James L.
Meade. president of the Meade Cycle
Works of Chicago. who was an engi-
neering student in the university from
1880 to 1882.
Mr.. Meade has given permission to
those in charge of the loan fund to
