APPEAL TO PRESIDENT.
Postal Clerk Asks Strict Observance
of Eight-Hour Day.

President Harding's assistance in
obtaining the proper observance or
the postal eight-hour law was sought
yesterday by Thomas A. Flaherty, Sec
rotary OF the National Federation Of
p. o. Clerks, when he called at the
White House. He declared that many
clerks in the larger post offices, in
GLIDING New York and Chicago. are
working ten hours daily. I'VE want
to strengthen the Presidents position
in his commendable efforts to obtain
a shorter work day for workers In the
steel Industry" Mr.. Flaherty ex-
planned, but it is obvious that the
government must apply this principle
fore it can consistently urge its adop-
ton by the steel manufacturers"

FUND is WIPED OUT
In Five Months Adjutant Gen.
eraPs Quota Is Spent.
Railway Shop Strike Situation
Costly To Kansas.
GOVERNOR SPENT OWN MONEY
Personally Assumed Expense To
Garry On Campaign.
Actual Cost of Sitting On Strike
Lid, $4,000.

In less than five months the entire
fund Of the adjutant generals depart
ment, amounting to S1S4,0o0, has
been been wiped out and deficit
created because of expense in handling
the railroad shop strike situation. Be-
cause of the situation Governor Allen
announced today that he had person
ally signed notes and pledged his
credit to meet obligations of the ma
tional guard department until the
legislature conveneS. He personally
assumed expense of the department,
he said, rather than call a special ses-
sion of the state legislature.
Appropriations for the adjutant gen.
erals office were expected to meet all
expenses of the department during the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1922. The
day the funds became available tho,
thousands of shop workers in Kansas
quit their jobs. Disturbances which
followed in the wake of the strike re-
suited in the calling of practically
1000 guardsmen into service. Troops
are still being used in several towns.
Strike Cost Sis, 900.
Governor Allen today estimated that
the actual expense of the strike to the
state department had been about
S115 200. The remainder of the $1S4,-
600 was used, he said, in payment of
current office expenses and salaries
which would have been necessary even
tho there had been no strike.
In addition to the funds used by the
state for guard service in the railroad
shop strike, the state spent more than
100000 during the last fiscal year in
handling coal strike troubles in the
Cherokee Crawford county fields.
Most of the money used in the rail
strike has been in payment of salaries
of men in service and for tranSporta-
ton and maintenance expense.
'I brought the matter of the ad-
jutant generals fund to the attention
of the executive council some time
ago. Governor Allen said today.
Nothing was done about it and in
order to meet the situation 1T was
necessary either to call a special ses-
sion of the legislature or make some
provision for emergency funds. Con-
sequently 1 have arranged thru banks
to secure money. on my own credit to
pay these bills until the legislature
convenes. 1t was necessary to do this
or place the extra expense of a spe-
cial session on the state
To Legislature for Funds.
Governor Allen estimated the prob
able overdraft of the department at
$4,000 to $4,000. This amount of
funds, he said, would proo-
ably meet all expenses until the leg
islature conveneS.
The legislature will be asked not
only to reimburse Governor Allen, but
also to appropriate an emergency fund
to meet expenses of the adjutant gen.
erals office during the remainder of
the fiscal year. AS there remains
more than half of the present fiscal
to 100000 will be required to cover
estimates made by the 1921
legislature when it made provision for
this year.

NEXT ACTION FROM COLUMBUS
Expect Mystery in Death of Hender-

(By The Associated PressJ

Lancaster. Ohio, Nov. 24.-Lancas-
ter people today were looking to Co
lumbus, Ohio, for the next action in
the death tragedy of the Henderson
family here. Whether Irving Hender-
son, his wife and their four children
died of poisoning, or were asphyx-
lated by fumes from a gas stove was
expected to be disclosed as a result of
of series of Investigations under way
at Columbus today.
Examination of the vital organs of
Mr.. and Mrs Henderson, analysis OF
food found on the Henderson table for
the fateful Tuesday evening meal, and
an investigation under various condi-
tionS of the stove used in the Hender-
son living room were to be made.
Authorities here are awaiting the
outcome of this work. Local officials

All indications, they assert, point to
poison, if such was the manner of
death, having been administered in the
food. They declare that evidence
seems to point to Mrs. Henderson as
the perpetrator of the deaths. She is
believed to have become mentally un-
balanced brooding over ills having
consulted physicians in various cities.

Boston, Nov. "a - To Senator
Borah's recent assertion that Clemen-
ceau was primarily responsible for
conditions in Europe, because of his
great influence in the drafting of the
Versailles treaty, the aged statesman
declared his situation was ''partic-
ularly distressing" since in France he
had been most bitterly criticized for
having asked from the Germans less

When he was told that some of the
senators at Washington had said they
were not able to understand clearly
from his speeches just what he wanted
of America, the tiger said, with a
gleam in his eyes, that he thought
they would know after his address this
afternoon in the fremont temple

interviewers in his room at the home
of +. L. HigginSon, Jr., where he is
staying while in this city. He wore
his usual gray cutaway suit, and his
gray skull cap was perched on his
bald head. Seating himself in a huge
easy chair, he said:
''Now-put any questions you like
and L will answer them"

The interviewers went at once to
the subject of the Washington
criticisms. Clemenceau smiled ana
shrugged.
Il had made it point not to dis

he said. But I have said I will
answer all, so 1 must answer.

out-before I had been mi.itarist to
the extent of extending the length of
military service in France.
But that was not TOO bad-if it al
lowed US to oppose the German front
until England and America appeared"
Asked to answer Hitchcock's ques-
tion about black troops, the Tiger said,
''Bon,'' and waded in:

black troops of occupation in the area
of occupation of the enemy. In the
second place, I have seen black Amer
