number of talks were made by differ
ent members, the topics being of a
general nature, but all bearing on the
all-important subject of the welfare
of the community and the future pro-
gress and activity Of the Community
Club. Toastmaster Kuhns introduced
each speaker in an impressive way,
and the responses were Of similar
nature. It was a "Get-Together''
gathering such as has not been held
here for some time. The speakers
were frank in expressing their opin-
ions as to what should be done in; fut-
ure activity by the Community Club,
and if a number of these ideas are
carried out, great benefits will be de-
rived.
Following the impromptu talks, an
interesting business meeting Of the
Club was held, with President G. H.
Austin presiding.

WATCH THE KIDDIES!

Three times during the month of
June I was called upon, as coroner,
to view the mangled remains of three
little Children who had dashed into
the street in front of approaching
cars, two motor cars and one street
car.
Three times I saw loving parents
crushed and overwhelmed with grief
when their little tots had been
snatched from them.
Three times 1 saw the drivers of
cars made shaken. nervous wrecks
when they witnessed the deaths
caused under the wheels of their cars.
All this in one short month of thirty
days.
Each time it struck me like blow
that parents should be made to realize
the necessity to train their little ones
to keep out of the street; not to play
in the street; not even to cross the
street unless accompanied by adults.
But after three such awful expert
ences in one month, three little lives
crushed out and three lovable little
bodies mangled, 1 wish / could say.
" GhCAS PdA C4AL III AopGhNs
and have the newspapers and the
preachers and the school teachers
hammer on it day afte- day:
Parents. keep your children out of
the streets.
Autoists. keep your eyes on every
child in the street, ana every child
playing near the curbing, even If the
child is not in the street. You are
more likely to hit the little tot who
dashes out from the curbing than the
one who is in the street.

The operators and the miners come

Evans shot the first nine. in "a,

the latter's wildness causing him

Won Elm needed all his skill to

Every Railroad Town in Kan

The strike among the Topeka
shop crafts, against the recent
wage cut made by the United
States labor board, is on.
> The strike broke at 10 o'clock
this morning when several hun
dred men dropped their work at
the Santa Fe car shops and
walked out.
AS the men filed down the
long runway leading to the via
duct over Branner street they
were wildly cheered by large
crowd which had gathered long
before the hour set for the men
to cease work.
At the viaduct the men from
the freight car department were
met by a similar force, tho not
as large, from the coach shops.
Together they paraded up town
to Labor Hall.
The number of men out is in
dispute between railroad Off
cials and labor leaders, and the
complete result will not be
known until Monday morning.
What is believed by many to
be conservative estimate
places the number at 600. Of
ficials of the Santa Fe say 500,
while union officials declare the
strike is from IS to 80 per cent
effective. A few go so far as to
say the walkout is complete.

1t must be distinctly understood
however, that any statement as to the
number of men out today, has refer

Since the employees in the locomotive
department are on five-day schedule
and do not work on Saturday, a
check on that department will not be
available until Monday morning.
The car men walked out in orderly
fashion and so far there has been no
disturbance whatever. The railroad
company is promising protection to
those who remain at work. Union
leaders say any precaution along that
line is unnecessary but admit they ex-

THE PURCELL STATEMENT

John Purcell, in charge of me-
chanicaI matters for the Santa Fe
system, as assistant to Vice President
A. G. Wells, made the following state
ment:
THE strike in our Topeka shops
started on schedule time and an in
complete check indicates that approx
imately 500 men out of a total force
of $500 are out. AS no work is done
in the locomotive shop on Saturday,
we will not have a check there till
Monday. About 700 are employed in
the locomotive shop. More than half
the men who. showed up this morning
stayed on the job. The shops will
open as usual Monday morning, with
every department in operation Am
pie protection will be given to all who
work.
''The strike is very much to be re-
GREETED, for the men are taking a step
which will lea>s them into serious con-
sequences. Several or those among
the strikers have admitted that they
are making mistake, but they say
they feel bound to obey the orders of
their leaders who do not and never
have worked for the Santa Fe and
who cannot possibly have any idea of
Santa Fe conditions. 1t is almost in
conceivable that men will take such
an attitude, and that is what grieves
me when I realize what some of our
workers are doing in this respect.
Those who left the shops this
morning did so in an orderly man
ner. with a few exceptions. The older
men appeared to be saddened by the
order which called them out. Some
of the younger men cheered, but there
really was little demonstration. In
fifteen minutes the strikers, their
friends and the curiosity seekers had
left the grounds"
What the Unions Say.
Union officials and men estimated
that between so and 80 per cent of
the men walked out. They say that
100 per cent of the men gave up their
work in the freight car shops
The strikers plan to establish pick
cts at the shops to enable them to get
a check on. the number of men who
refused 20 strike. Union men stated
that there would be no attempt made
to interfere with men still working.
The men appear to be well prepared
for strike. They have one check COM
ing due and considerable funds on
hand. 1t is reported that the men
have been warned of the impending
strike since early in the year and have
been saving money for this purpose.
No strike benefits will be drawn at
the present time. The drawing of
benefits is very uncertain and depends
on the length of the strike. The men
can make no estimate of the amount
of the benefits as they are drawn from
the national headquarters of the
union.
The members of the striking crafts
will hold a mass meeting at o'clock

these men, the foremen believe, are
coming back to work.
Unions TO stand Together.
On the other hand, howeve

On the other hand, however. union
officials declare none of the men who
quit this morning will go back to work
until the controversy is settled and
that the strike in the locomotive de-
partment will be found to be just as
strong Monday morning, when the
men there will either show up for
work or remain at home. They deny
there are any differences growing out
of the fact that the car men were fac
ing a cut OF cents an hour and the
mechanics only cents, and state the
two groups are acting solidly together.
For nearly thirty minutes before the
time to strike the crowd began to
gather in Branner street A half dcz-
en- decorated cars carried banners Of
union labor organizations.
Fully half of the people who stood
on the viaduct and in Branner street
were women and children. They broke
into the first cheering when man
from the passenger shops came under
the bridge carrying tool chest under
his arm.
The workmen were slow to, leave
their jobs. 1t was fifteen minutes
after the strike time when the crowd
began to assemble on walks leading
from the car repair shops. A few
more than 500 men were counted in
the crowd which marched under the
viaduct.
Depend on 30 Per Cent.
Estimates before the strike began
of the car repair men would quit.
There were perhaps 65 per cent of
these men in the march down the
walk and among the stragglers who
did not join in the demonstrations.
Many of the strikers waved their
hats or shouted as they quit their jobs.
But not all of them. There was a
touch of pathos in the slow step of
scores of veteran workmen as they
came from the shops. The bit of
tragedy was reflected in the faces of
the women. Some of them cheered
and there were many who forced
smiles. Yet
Some of the strikers carried Ameri-

stated this afternoon.

gency, with the organization which we
