5, 1920, statement, the governor said
it was taken from the report of the
operators association. Ira Clements
is president of this organization and
made the report. Hence authorities
quoted in January last year before the
state legislature and in Pittsburg this
week are the same.
Governor Allen dramatized the
strike situation and industrial trou-
bles in manner that moved the leg
islature and won for his bill almost
unanimous support in both houses
He bitterly attacked the mine work
ers' union, the railroad brotherhoods
and the Wilson administration for
passage of the Adamson act.
Loss of S3O.5O0 Per Month.
Newspaper files and records of the
days proceedings before the legisla-
claimed a total of 364 strikes had oc-
CURED in the Pittsburg field during
the thirty three months from April.
1916, to January 81, 1918. This was
an average of eleven strikes a month.
In their strikes. the governor said, the
men gained $7S484 in wage conces-
sions and lost $1,000, 45441 in time.
They paid their organization in dues
and assessments $4,000. The aver
age loss in wages was $S0,500 a
month.
Now Clements charges that strikes

spite of the court act and that wage
losses to workers have kept pace. He
told the Pittsburg Chamber of Com
merce that 22S strikes had occurred
in the first six months of this year
an average of thirty eight a month as
against eleven a month as quoted in
1920 He claims that wage losses for
the six months totaled 1854, 000-an
average of $4,000 month as
against $S0,5oo quoted at the time the
governor appealed for his labor court
law. In addition the head of the op-
orators organization asserts that the
situation is destroying the trade dis
trict of the Kansas producers.
Refuses To Be Quoted.
Members of the Industrial court to-
day refused to be quoted. They con-
tinued the silence which came with
the strike in the Pittsburg field forty
days ago.
President Clements statement, tho,
has aroused much comment in state
and industrial circles. In order to
overcome the effect of Clements
claims, it is quite likely that the court
will make a formal statement.
Indications today were to the effect
that the court would declare that but
five or six strikes occurred in the field
during the six months. These were
the strikes called under formal union
orders and did not include walk outs
and strikes which occurred without
a referendum vote or offit ;al orders.
The situation would be unchanged.
however. If it should be shown that
the record presented before the special
session of the legislature covered
strikes of all classes and was compiled
in a manner similar to the report
given for the first six months of this
year.
Governor Allen indicated Wednes-
day that he might make a formal
statement answering the Clements
charge. Today, tho, he said no state
ment would be made

CLEVER ROTARY STUNT
Roy Bones Song and Burlesque Real
Hit OF Club Season.

roy BOIL song ana BurleSque Real
Hit of Club Season.
Grilling the city commissioners in
4 burlesQue meeting of the city COM
mission was the chief entertainment at
the Rotary club meeting at the Cham
Der of Commerce this noon. The
Srilling followed a topical song sung
by Roy Bone with the assistance of
the entire club which flayed, patted
on the back. and otherwise tended to
embarrass certain prominent members
of the club. 1t was the most clever
stunt handled by Rotary club mem
bers in months. Roy Bone arranged
the program.
The mock commission meeting was
based on the well known habit of
offficeholders weighing votes when
matters of public import are brought
before them, and the various matters
brought up were of sufficient local
and group importance in Topeka to
carry a few barbs as well as a large
amount of merriment.
DR.. Edmund James Kulp, pastor of
the First Methodist church, was on the
program for a talk on Armistice day
The program was one of the best
given by Rotary entertainment com
mittees this year.
1t was announced at the meeting
that the next meeting of the club will
be held Wednesday night. November
rs. The program is to be furnished
exclusively by the wives of the mem
bers. ard the night is to be the regu-
lar ladies' night of the club. In order
that members may not forget the i'm
portant date the president called spe-
cific attention to the fact that the
meeting is to be held the night before
Thanksgiving day.

tainment program given by the ladies

Industrial Judges Confer About
Strike Records.
Clements Claims Average of
Thirty-Eight Per Month.
CHALLENGE COURT EFFICIENCY
Governor Claims Figures Are
Misleading and Unfair.
Members of Court Refuse to
Give Out Statement.

Industrial court judges were in con-
ference today for the purpose of seek
ing to refute strike records in the
Pittsburg district as produced by Ira
Clements. president of the Southwest
ern Coal Operators association. Glenn
ents claimed an average of thirty
eight strikes a month in the field dur
ing the first six months of this year.
Governor Allen-using the same au-
thOrity-told the special session of
1920 that an average of eleven strikes
a month had occurred in a period of
thirtv-three months when he urged
passage of the labor court act.
Annual reports Of the coal operators
association show all classes of strikes,
number of men affected. time lost and
wage losses TO men. 1t is regarded as
the most authoritative strike record
in existence in the coal fields. Judge
John H Crawford of the industrial
court told The State Journal Wednes-
dav that the court had no record of
strikes except as prepared by Mine
TnsDector sherwood at Pittsburg. He
contended that there was just cause
for difference of opinion as to CLASH
fication of strikes when men col
lectively quit their jobs when demands
were not granted.
Clements Challenges Court.
If President Clements quoted from
tho operators record--and he is in
possession of these records-his state
ment in Pittsburg this week is likely
be become a challenge of the court
efficiensy He charged that because
of industrial trouble the operators
were losing their trade territory and
that 325 cars of coal on the track for
shipment could not be marketed.
Governor Allen was asked today as
to the authority for strike figures pre-
scented to the legislature when it was
called into special session in 1920 to
pass the industrial court law The
figures we're gwen in an extempora-
neous attack on organized labor be-
fore Governor Allen delivered his

session Of the house and senate.

strikes, not all cases of men quitting
their jobs" said the governor The
Clements figures are misleading and
unfair. There has been nothing like
the number OF strikes claimed by
Clements"

VOTE AGAINST WAGE CUTS
Packer Employees and Big Five May
Go TO Test of Strength"

Chicago, Nov. 1O.=Predictions were
made freely today that employees of
the big packers will vote down the
proposal that they take a cut in wages.
The proposal for reductions is re-
garded by industrial Chicago as the
flrst real test made by the ''represen-
tative government plan" inau gurated
by four of the big five" packers
last May.
Union officials refused to comment
upon the action of the packers The
packers nave left the size of the wage
cut up to the employed.
The outcome of the present situa-
ton. industrial leaders said, may de-
eide the fate of representative gov
eminent" for employees all over the
country. 1t attracted wide attention
when first introduced but other indus
tries awaited a practical application
of its principles before following the
example of the employers.

The reign of Saturn is ended and
the world is now entering upon the
more executive and orderly epoch
presided over by the benign Jupiter.
1t will be nearly two hundred years
before the satanic Saturn again dis
turbs the world with his influence
bringing wars. strikes. panics, famines
and pestilences. Already the new era
can be discerned. Food prices are
coming down, strikes which in the last
days of Saturns reign threatened to
disrupt the nation, have been medi~'
ated. banks have lowered their dis
count rates. Money is easier and the
people generally have assumed a hap

Making a Farewell Tour.
These observations were made by
a sweet faced little lady last night
as she with that characteristic ges-
ture so familiar to Topekans, spread
her skirts and seated herself in deep
upholstered chair in the biggest dress
ing room of the Novelty theater. She
was Miss Anna Eva Fay who is now
saying farewell to her many Topeka
friends. She is on her last tour of
the country prior to leaving for a two
years mission in Rome, about which
she is quite mysterious, saying to the
wife who was with mes-''You will re-
member this occasion when you hear
of the events that take place in Italy
in the next few years.
The observations made with regard
to the future of the world were made
by Miss Fay when she was reminded
of her prophecy, made two weeks ago,
to the effect that better times were
due and would be here this month.
1.-The influences of the planets are
the key to the great mysteries of the
universe" declared Miss Fay. Even
the most skeptical of the scientists ad-
NIT that the attraction of planets
when in line with the earth, cause
tides and storms. 1t is only step
from such an admission for them to
see that the planets must also affect
the lives of the people on the earth.

right to be we'll born. Each of US

that prenatal influences have a great

Saturn leigned at the hour Kaiser

child was laboring under such a bur-

Miss Fay was very gossipy with the
wife right there and some of the
things said are not generally printed.
She turned suddenly and surprised me
by saying:

my arrival here, that wonderful

only a few minutes to prepare for her
act and we bid her an adieu.
