RULES IN DISPUTE
Working Conditions Now Up To
the Federal Board.
Weeks of Farley Between Roads
and Employees Fruitless.

Chicago, July 16.-Working rules
and conditions for employees OF the
railroads will come before the United
States railway labor board in the near
future for adjudication.
The Chicago q Alton is the first or
the big roads to refer it's case back to
the labor board. After six weeks OF
negotiations between the railway and
its employees, no agreement has been
reached and the board has been asked
to adjust the dispute.
The chief points of disagreement
were over the eight hour day, Whlch
the board has endorsed, and on the
question of overtime. The employees
of the Alton refuse to accept nine
or ten hour day, which they declare is
in effect the proportion of the road.
There are also a number OF minor
points in controversies.
Other roads are expected to follow
the Alton. Several roads are report
ed to have reached agreement with
their men on the main points involved
but will ask the labor board to aid IN
the adjustment of minor details.
Rulings on the controversies be-
tween the Pennsylvania railroad and
the American Federation of Labor is
to be made next week by the labor
board. The Pennsylvania has organ
lied its men in accordance with plan
devised by the road and has ignored
the unions in negotiating its agree
ment The union contends this is a
violation of the rules of the board.

Fate plays many queer tricks in the
course of a game. The players risk
life and limb for the amusement of
the spectators. Often the cars crash
together; frequently they overturn-
Each car is equipped with a stout iron
rod bent over the top in order that
the driver may not be crushed in the
event the machine turns over. Each
team carries force of mechanics and
extra cars. There is real competition
between the players, and this puts real
excitement into the contests. The
games are played on the race track in
front of the grandstand under several
thousand candle power electric lights
In addition to the auto polo contests
there will be an elaborate program
of big time circus acts on stages
erected in front of the grandstand.
This will include more thrills and
plenty of comedy. The fair associa-
ton has made every effort to get the
best talent obtainable in this line for
the big Kansas exposition.

CoLored Moonshine
Is Federal Charge
Texans Are Then Putting Fake Label
On Illicit Liquor and Selling 1t a
Bonded Whisky.

Texans Are Then Putting Fake Labels
On Illicit Liquor and Selling 1t as
Bonded Whisky.
Dallas. Tex, July 16.-Somewhere
in the vicinity of Dallas is den where
fake liquor labels are printed by the
thousands, federal officials and city
detectives believe. Two men arrested
at a local rooming house have fur
nished federal agents with clue
which is expected to lead to sensa-
tional exposures, 1t was learned today.
Hundreds of counterfeit whisky
labels were found in the place. The
labels are counterfeits of labels used
on well known bonded whisky of past
years. Secret service men charge
that a gang here is printing the fake
labels for use on moonshine whisky
which is then sold as pure bonded
whisky.
A large quantity of coloring ma
terIal was also seized. A sufficient
of moonshiIie whisky. Corn whisky
found in the den was colored and very
closely resembleG bonded whisky.
Federal agents believe that a print
ing establishment is hidden some
where in Dallas or immediate vicinity
where the fake labels are being run
out by the hundreds. They also be-
lieve that moonshiners and bootleggers
| in this vicinity are in confederation
! with the printers.
Government seals are also being
counterfeited. Scores of revenue
stamps and seals used on bonded
whisky were seized in the raid and
are being held as evidence.

TWO SPECIALS ON SANTA FE
Elks and Their Families Plan Return
from Convention in Los Angeles.

So far as was known, today. the
Santa Fe will run only two special
trains to carry Elks and their families
returning home from the Elks conven-
ton which has just closed at Los An
geles, Calf, and these two will not
pass thru Topeka. They will carry
Detroit and Minneapolis delegations
and have been routed via Ottawa.
Several special trains were run to
carry the delegates to the convention
but bringing them back is a different
proposition. Too many delegates want
to include their vacation with the trip
and will remain in California indefin-
itely.
Delegates to a convention of this
kind always scatter so much after it is
over that the railroad companies hard
~ ever make an effort to run special
trains for the return trip" said J. NJ
Council, general passenger agent, to-
day.
