MOVIE-MEN UNITE
TO FIGHT TRUST
(By Associated Press Leased Wire)

~AN'SSSAs'SSNA
Minneapolis Delegates to the Mo
ton Picture Theatre Owners of Ameri-
ca, in annual convention here, today
considered a plan formulated by its
executive committee last night for for
nation of cooperative distributors
organization among independents. En-
croachment of some motion picture
producers into the exhibition game
was responsible for the action of
the committee.
The plan calls for raising of two
million dollar fund on a percentage
basis from every motion picture thea
ire owner and every independent pro-
duce rim the country. 1t will be spent
on a national advertising campaign in
opposition to the Famous Players
Lasky corporation of which Adolph Zu-
kor is president, according to plans.
Charges were made at the convention
that 'movie trust" controls fifty per-
cent of the moving picture business in
the United States.

on that morning in order that all the
eighteen counciImen might be present
to emphasize the needs of Kenosha.
Questions to Be Discussed.
The city Of Kenosha has appealed to
the commission for a consideration of
several subjects. One of these is the
matter of opening up one of the streets
which lead to the new Mckinley school,
probably Balm avenue. Some method
must be devised to provide safe way
for children who will attend the school
to cross the railroad tracks and it is
believed that the commission will hear
the appeal on this question and hand
down some order in the near future
so that the work may be completed
before school starts in the fall.
Then the ever-present problem of
transportation will also be up for an
airing Alderman Wachs is disguised
because the commission has waited so
long that they can point to the bridge
and say that the problem of transpor-
tation on the north side of the city
will soon be solved without their in
reference. Alderman Wachs voiced
this opposition to the delay which the
commission has taken in a speech made
Monday evening at the council meeting.
See Raise in Rates.
Mayor Joachim advised every mem
Der of the council to plan to attend the
hearing, as he pointed out that there
was an intimation in the communica-
ton from the commissioner that the
question of an increase in gas and
light rates would be considered at this
time. 1t is presumed that this increase
has been asked by the Wisconsin Gas
& Electric company, now furnishing
the service. There was no intimation
that any increase in street car fares
would be considered.

absolute text books the use of which
had been discontinued in Kenosha
years ago. They have been gathering
dust in the book racks at the building
for years. Some of the books were in
use over twenty years ago and the use
of all of them had been discontinued
many years ago. AS there is no sale
of the old books the committee decid-
ed to realize what was possible by
selling them as waste paper.

STRIKING MINERS
BAtish Strike Is SetsIed When Govern
ment Awards Ten Million Pounds
to Workers.
(By Associated Press Leased wire)


London.-The British coal mine
strike, which has been in progress
since April LIST, has been settled, it was
officially announced this afternoon. 1t
is understood that Prime Minister
Lloyd-George will ask parliament this
afternoon to authorize the granting of
a 910000,000 subsidy to the mining in
dustry. The miners will resume work

COMMISSION RAISES
LAKE SHORE RATES
Federal Board Authorizes Increase in
Fares to Interstate Level Effec-
tive September LIST.

(By Associated Press Leased Wire)
Washington = Passenger fares in
Illinois, on the Chicago, North Shore
ond Milwaukee railway, an interurban
line, were ordered raised to the inter
state level September /, today by the
Interstate Commerce commission. It is
estimated, the commission said, that a
uniform three cent fare will yield dur
ing the year ending October 81, re-
turn of 3.96 per cent on the estimated
value of the road. allowing for a de-
crease of ten per cent in the volume
of traffic, while with traffice undimin-
ished it would bring a return of $50.
If the Illinois state fare is not in
creased it was estimated that the
roads operating income on the de-
creased traffic would yield return of
1877 per cent.

Issue No License
to Central Park
North Shore Park Fails to Get License
to Continue in Operation
After Friday.

The town board of the town of
Somers met on Monday afternoon to
act on saloon licenses for the new
year but no license was issued for
Central Park or to H. c. Millager, its
proprietor. Clerk George Thomas of
Somers said this afternoon that no
application had been made for a per-
NIT for Central Park. Other officials
said that if an effort had been made
to secure one it would not have met
with favorable action. Central Park
has been both noted and notorious and
it is expected that so far as the bev-
erage feature of it is concerned that
it will be closed at the end of the
license period.

NO STRIKE HERE.
Kansas Farmers Do Their Full
Duty This Year.
Planting in All Sections of State
Up to Standard.

\ Kansas farmers didn't go on a
strike.
Reports coming to Topeka from all
sections of the state indicate that crop
planting is we'll in line with agricul-
tural activities of the last few years.
In fact it is expected to greatly exceed
acreage averages for the last ten
years.
Rumors and threats that the Kan
sas farmers would go on strike be-
cause of slumps in prices of farm
products seem to have been without
foundation. From the day the first
report of a strike was circulated, j. c.
Mohler, secretary of the state board
of agriculture, persistently denied the
claim. He said the farmers would
meet their full share of the RESPONSE
bility of declining prices without
whimpering. According to unofficial
returns, Secretary Mohler was correct
in his forecast
On the basis of reports now avail
able, it is probable that the decllne,ln
wheat acreage will be slight. 1t is
expected to fall somewhat below the
. planting of the fall of 1919, but the
drop is seemingly due to normal con-
ditionS rather than an organized or
concerted move of the farmers to Pc
tard production. In many of the
counties thousands of acres of wheat
land had been planted when the big
drop in prices came last fall. In other
counties the land lad been prepared
for planting and all arrangements
made for this years crop.
The winter season seems to have
seen a general passing of any thought
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1921-04-06

toward farm inactivity. There is APP
parent1y little idle soil in the counties
where the bumper crops are grown.
A heavy. acreage of oats, barley and
other crops is expected. Corn plant
ing is also doped to register well up
with acreage of recent years.
81 have never believed there would
be a farmer strike" Secretary Mohler
said today. ~The farmers have been
hard hit. But they have taken their
medicine far better than many of the
town folks. Prices of farm products
were slipping long before many mer-
chants realized that the day of war
prices was ended and they had re-
duced prices of goods on their shelves.
There is nothing in the reports com
ing to hetdepartment of agriculture
which in any manner indicates that
the farmers have not done their full
duty I honestly believe the talk of a
farm strike was a mere nightmare.
OF course it frightened a few people.
But the sensible. clear thinking
farmer wasn't fooled in the least.
Neither was public confidence in the
farmer shaken"
Secretary Mothers first general re-
port of crop conditions will be issued
late this month. Questionnaires to p
600 correspondents in the big crop
growing counties will be mailed in the
next ten DAYS.

AMERICAN LEGION CONVENTION.
Plans Being Made for Meeting in X. @.
Next October.

Plans for the national convention
of the American Legion, which is to
be held at Kansas City, Mo-, October
81 and November 1 and 2, of this year,
are occupying a large portion of the
time of the state department head
quarters at Topeka.
1t is the aim of the Kansas depart
ment to have ten thousand Kansas
Legionnaires at the convention next
fall, and the local posts are being
urged to start their preparation for
the event now.
Some of them have already done so
Ito the point of starting savings clubs
whereby the impecuniously inclined of
the former service men will be assured
of having a fund on hand to make the
trip.
The canvass to arrange accommoda-
tions in private homes and in hotels
in Kansas City, has already started.
The committee in charge of the ar
rangements has already reserved three
thousand beds for official delegates,
and there are places in the private
homes of the city for 10000 membe
Capitol post No: 1 of Topeka plans
to take its bugle band to the conven-
ton, and to increase the membership
of the band before that time.

with approval It was then voted to
name an executive committee to take
direction of the reorganization, the
committee to include the board of di-
reetors and several others without re-
gard to whether they were members of
the Chamber or not. The object was
that of having a committee fully rep
resentative of Topeka.
McDermott Makes Talk.
McDermott in describing the rea-
sons for the movement told of the
problem of performing work for To-
peka with the small funds availab
and said that within one month after
taking office, one of the two appro-
priations for important community
rejects, h a d b e n exhausted,
and the chamber a d eleven
months of the year with no funds
available for convention purposes.
This was one of the things which
ing of what could be done and which
led them to investigating where they
could get the, assistance which was
needed in order to secure proper re-
organization. This led to the coming
of the American City Bureau. the only
organization of its kind in theNcountry.
Outlines Reorganization Plan.
Price outlined the plans for the re-
organization laying particular stress
upon the preparation of the program
of activities, the plan for special COM
mittees for secific tasks in place of
standing committees, and the way in
which the members forum would
function as a means of starting
thought regarding Topeka's problems.
The executive committee is made up
of the following: Charles P. Adams,
