WARNS U. S.LABOR
British Labor Chief Advises
I Caution on Ireland.
Declares Peace Treaty Has
Made Workers Pay.

Denver, June 14.-The Irish ques-
ton came into the open today for the
first time in the convention of the
American Federation of Labor.
Warning against any agitation that
might disrupt the American labor
movement. James H. Thomas. British
labor leader. told the American Fed
Grafton of Labor convention today that
it could not solve the Irish problem.
The British labor movement has all
ways favored Irish freedom but does
not want an Independent nation,
Thomas said.
British and French workmen are
paying today because of the post war
cry of make Germany pay" he said.
The parties who drew up the peace
treaty allowed their hearts instead of
their heads to direct their intelligence
when they adopted the attitude of
make Germany pay
For one hundred years we in Eng
land have been. confronted with the
problem of ireland and if we at home
cannot solve that problem let me ask
how do you, 5000 miles away, expect
to solve it ?"
There are only three ways to pay
i'm gold, kind, or service. There
wasn't enough gold in the world to
pay the debt. AS result, Germany
was ordered to pay in commodities
and send two million tons of coal a
month to France.
THAT was more than France could
consume. AS France was getting the
coal for nothing, she could afford to
sell to Italy, Belgium and Holland at
the price charged by English ex-
porterS"

an educational aid plan. The fourth,
a farm and home purchase plan and
the fifth gives ex-service men prefer

GIVES ASSISTANCE TO MANY
Nearly 1000 Persons We're Cared for
by Provident Association.

Nearly a thousand homeless and
pennilesS men were given meals by
the Topeka Provident association dur
ing May, according to the monthly re-
port made at the meeting of the asso-
citation board of directors.
Topeka has a city ordinance which
forbids begging on the streets or from
house to house and therefore the des-
titute are cared for in practically
every case by the Provident associa-
ton. The unemployed situation has,
contributed many men to the number
of penniless, particularly in the last
month. The May report of 917 meals
to the penniless is the largest report of
the kind made in the seven months
Miss Virginia Campbell has been sec
rotary of the association, she said to-
day.
Fourteen pieces of furniture were
given away by the association in May,
Miss Campbell pointed out from the
report. Such gifts are not made un-
less the need is very great, she said.
An illustration of the service such
gifts render was in the case of a
young Mexican married couple who
were found living in a basement with
no furniture of any kind, not even
bedding The Mexican had employ
nent in Topeka, then went to Mexico
to bring his bride back to this country.
When he returned he had no employ
ment and no means with which to
provide home.
The day nursery of the Provident
association has been greatly helped by
Miss Tillie Jane Hairgrove, Red Cross
visiting housekeeper on the staff of
the association. Miss Hairgrove is
particularly interested in providing
nutritious meals for the children in the
nursery. She plans the menus for the
nursery carefully SO that plenty OF
fresh fruit and vegetables is included.
Miss Hairgrove has been busily en-
gagged in her few weeks in Topeka in
developing the home building phase of
Provident association work. In one
family which the Provident associa-
ton had never known to have money
for clothing. Miss Hairgrove assisted
in the financial management until the
family is now able to buy the cloth
ing it needs and other necessities

FAVOR EARLY CLOSING PLAN
Topeka Merchants Would Close at
$50 in Summer, Reports Show.

Topeka merchants generally FAVOR
the closing of all stores at $40 o'clock
during July and August, according to
returns on missionaries sent out by
the Merchants association. Six o'clock
is favored as the time for closing on
Saturdays.
The Merchants association directors
today noon recommended that the
stores close in accordance with the
wishes of a majority of the store man
ayers. Very few of those who filled
out the questionnaires said that they
would not abide by the majority vote.
In some lines, such as drug stores. it
is not possible to close early. Cloth
ing stores department stores, hard
ware and furniture houses seem to be
practically unanimous in the assertion
that they will close earlier than their
regular schedule during the two hot
monthS
