While in some circles there is a

Topeka barber; that she has had dates
with this barber and other men and
that she has several times stayed all

the little girl in q rooming house while
she works in the laundry and that she
is not fit and proper person to have

OPPOSED BYLABOR
John III. Crawford Read Out at
Chanute Convention.
Resolution Says He Is Not True
Representative of Unions.

Chanute. kan, May 17.-Judge
John H. Crawford of the court of in
dustrial relations was read out of or
ganized labor circles in resolutions
adopted by the state federation of la
Dor in its closing sessions here. The
resolutions state that Crawford is not
the true representative of labor and
severely condemns both the new labor
court judge and Governor Allen. Dur
ing the closing hours of the legisla-
tive session organized labor was
charged with Withholding confirma-
ton of Crawford's appointment in the
senate.
Recently a report in labor circles
was to the, effect that Crawford was
to carry his fight to the Chanute con-
vention. 1t was reported that he was
to back a candidate to oppose re-elec-
tion of President Freeman. Crawford
did not come to the convention in per-
son altho he is declared to have been
represented by labor delegates friend
ly to the state administration.
The Resolutions.
The resolutions are the climax of a
winter of hard fighting in labor cir
cles. They are as follows;
Whereas, the labor movement of the
state Of Kansas is not in accord with its
members taking an active part in behalf
of the Kansas court of industrial relations

to Abandon Former Russ Capital.

Riga, May 17.-Petrograd citizens,
including even the communists, have
recently asserted that the supreme
Bolsheviki authority at Moscow has
decided to let the former capital city
sink into a position of insignificance.
Much i'll feeling between the CEN
trail authorities and the various Petro-
grad soviets has resulted. 1t had an
echo in the recent workmen's confer
ences there, for. while Moscow work
men were docile and caused little
trouble. their Petrograd brethren met
under greatly disturbed conditions and
gave much support to the Bolshevikfs
political opponents.

From an economic aspect, the
soviet power has manifested of late
