APPOINT CITY OFFICERS
City Commission Names Hanlon,
Brown and Reinisch Again.

Brown and Reinisch Again.
Fire Chief Joseph Hanlon, DR.. Earle
G. Brown. city health officer, and E.
F. A Reinisch, superintendent of parks,
were re-appointed to hold office for
the next two years. at the meeting of
the city commission this morning.
Chief Hanlon has served in the city
fire department for many years, and
has been chief of the department for
six years. He is recognized as one of
the most able men in such work in
Kansas.
Doctor Brown has served but one
term as city health officer, but in that
time has proven to be one of the most
efficient health officers the city has
ever had. The remarkable develop
ment Of public health work in Topeka
in the last two years is attributable
in no small measure to Doctor Browns
efforts. Improvement of health con-
ditions in the city have shown the eff
feet of DR.. Browns finger on the pub
lie pulse in the last two years.
For twenty-one years E. F. A. Rein
isch has been superintendent of parks,
contributing his time and energy to
making Topeka parks beautiful. The
landscaping of Gage park is a testi-
monial of Reinoschs success lin his
work. Ross Cranes praise of Gage
park, as well as other parks in To-
pcka. was unstinted.
The park superintendent should
accept Ross Cranes congratulations
on Topeka's beautiful parks, not the
park commissioner" said Robert D.
McGiffert, park commissioner, today
j. ]. Schenck was re-appointed civic
service commissioner for the city, hav-
ing held that office for several years.

MAY CALL NAVAL

Continued from Page One.)
leaders declared, however, that they
would remain in port. They claimed
that the engineers of both vessels had
quit and that men to replace them
had not been signed.
Several ships were on the sailing
lists today: The Jefferson, for Nor
folk; the Mattole, for Baton Rouge;
the Munindes, for Cuba, and the Mum
rio and Sixaola, for the West Indies
as having full crew. Union officials
said the regular crew of the Ska ola
had walked off and that a sub crew
had been signed later.
Sixty Ships Are Loading.
OF sixty ships loading here for sail
ings during the month, thirty-seven
are due to leave port this week, and
it was predicted in union circles that
the effects of the walkout would be
felt gradually, or with the failure of
each of the ships to make its sched-
uled departure.
Crews on about fifty of the 80
ships in the port have obeyed the
walkout order, they said. Out of the
80 vessels about so per cent of them
were laid up for repairs and slack
business. 1t was claimed by owners
that they were having no trouble in
signing seamen and firemen. They
admitted, however, that filling the
jobs of engineers is a more serious
problem.
Claim 175.OOO Idle.
Estimates of the number of men and
ships tied up as a result of the walk
out, which got under way Sunday as
a protest against a 5 per cent wage
reduction, were still conflicting. The
seamen declared that practically the
entire strength of the international
Seamen's union 175,O00 had re-
da6 70 fI1n twill 1rIo
The American Steamship Owners
association contended that only a few
hundred were out. The best neutral
figures obtainabe here were three
thousand men for New York and 49,
600 for the entire Atlantic, Gulf and
Pacific coasts.
Real Test Comes Today.
The first real test was expected to
come today when three big steamers
were scheduled to sail. These were
the Sixaola of the United Fruit line
and the United States shipping board
vessels Old North State and Potomac,
operated by the United States Mail S.
S. company.
The former was reported to have
shipped a full crew, including red
ticket men-aliens who have taken
out their first citizenship papers and
who were permitted to serve on
American ships during the war by
emergency legislation. This brought
protest from the union. A deck crew
had been provided for the Old North
State but she was still lacking an en-
gineroom force.
The Potomac was without either
seamen or enginemen.
The first vessel to sail with a crew
OF strikebreakers was the Standard
Oil tanker, Standard, which put to sea
last night for Mexico.
A proposal by Secretary Hoover that
the owners agree to arbitration by
three private citizens. was virtually
refused by them on the plea that in
effect they were more competent to
settle the dispute than outsiders. The
seamen did not receive Hoovers sug-
gestion.

few PAPERS HIT
Printers Strike Affects Only
Small Per Cent of Union.
FOrty-FOur Hour Week Almost
Certain, Says Chief.

Indianapolis, May 3.-John McPar-
land, president of the International
Typographical union, predicted today
that the printers strike will end soon
with concessions from the employers
granting the demand for a 44-hour
week.
Only about 1000 of the unions
membership of $4,000 are on strike,
MCFARLAND said, the employers hav-
ing met the demands in all other
cases. The employers of the 1000
strikers are giving way, MCFARLAND
said. and the walkout will be over
within few days.
According to kilograms pouring into
union headquarters here, the CONNER
cial printing shops are the only places
seriously affected, except in those
newspaper plants where job printing
establishments are also maintained.
Everything is coming fine" Nc
Parland said. THE strike was much
smaller than we anticipated. In no
case was there a strike in any large
city, because the bigger employers ac-
coded to our demands"
Says Strike Is Growing.

lightweight cities up to 10 O'Clock to-
day show there are strikes in fifty
four cities, and no strikes in thirty

league of employing printers. A total
of s,068 men are out, said Voller.
The large centers especially, Voll-
mer asserted, are showing determine
ton to resist the demands of the
unions for a 44-hour week at the As
hour rate of pay. Reports of en-
ployers agreeing to union demands"
he continued; ARE erroneous except in
the case of occasional one-man or two
man shops"
In Baltimore, according to Vollmer,
compositors in SO shops went out to-
day, while in Denver $40 men and
women in 80 shops struck and 26 of
the largest shops were said to have
declared for the open shop.
At New Orleans, Vollmer said, 20
employers are standing pat, and five
union men. Thirty plants are affected
at Pittsburgh, Pa, with 200 compost
tors and others striking and IS plants
he said are running 100 per cent.
Kansas City, Mo-: Quincy, Ill, and

4S hour basis, Vollmer said.
At Omaha 81 compoSitors are out
of IL shops, he said. and at Harris
burg, Pa, only one plant out of %
was said to be closed down. tho about
three-fourths of the compositors were
understood to be out.
The situation in Chicago, VollmeI
said, is as follows: About $500 union
printers in $50 union jobs and pub
fishing shops are out, and about ESQ
open shops, with a complement of ap-
proximate1y 10000 workers, are work
ing full force.

The city commission was not able to
decide whether the $4,000 surplus in

now divided among the various city
departments by ordinance, is still a
surplus or whether it is a part of de-
partment budgets and there Is no sur
plus. Attorney General Richard j.

a balance, or whether it may be re-
GENTLY to allow the city planning

ming board passed a resolution asking
for the $4,000 and expecting to have
no difficulty in securing the amount.

DECREASE IN DEATH RATE
During April There Were Thirteen
Less Deaths Than Average.

There is at least one good reason
for optimism in surveying events in
Topeka in April, 1921, for in that
month there were thirteen less deaths
than the average death rate for April
for the last six years, according to DR..
Earle G. Brown, city health officer.
There were 81 deaths in April and the
average for the last six years is 81, he
said.
If the death rate records for the fol-
lowing month keep to Aprirs standard
DR.. Browns expectation that 1921 will
have the lowest death record in To-
peka's history will be realized.
