CHO-CHO TO TB KIDDIES
Famous Health Clown Gives
Time to HiIlcrest Hospital
Patients This Afternoon.

Cho-Cho, the famous health clown
who is a headline attraction at the
Free Fair and who is becoming known
by every child in Topeka and thou
sands over the state, has consented
to appear before the fifteen children
at Hillcrest, the Topeka tuberculosis
hospital. late this afternoon.
Cho-Cho undoubtedly wields more
influence over children than any man
in the country today. Since his visit
to the fair last year hundreds of To-
peka youngsters have adopted what is
known in every household as a "Cho-
Cho diet" When he appears on the
platform at the fair the children
scream with delight. Despite the at
fractions on the grounds they will fill
the benches an hour before his per-
formance
His unusual influence over the chill
dren and his convincing manner of
health talks and exhibits attracted the
Topeka tuberculosis association to the
need of a talk before the young pa
tients at the hospital. Altho Cho-
Cho has a full fair program and does
not appear in private entertainments,
he saw the appeal from Topeka's suf-
fering little ones and promised Mrs.
Kurtz Kellam, manager of the asso-
citation. a visit this afternoon.
He will give the juvenile patients
an hour of his valuable time. 1t
promises to be big day for the kid
dies at the tuberculosis hospital.

Today was the banner today so far
this week az the Kansas Free Fair, al
tho it was estimated that the atten-
dance Wednesday passed the 60,0 900
mark, surprising any Wednesday in
the history of the exposition.
The crowd on the grounds this
morning was the largest of any morn
ing this week, and the crowd last night
probably equaled any previous atten-
dance records. Even before the night
show was finished and the vast
throngs that packed the grandstand
poured forth to mingle with other
thousands, the fairways were so
crowded that progress thru them was
slow indeed.
Grand Stand Is Crowded
All the exhibition buildings this
morning were crowded and before the
noon hour long lines of persons were
lined up in front of the grand stand
ticket window. The grandstand was
crowded long before time for the races
to start. The Con r. Kennedy shows
furnishing the Sunflower Trail attrac-
tions did a rushing business Wednes-
day night and the big court formed by
with people. A good indicator of the
crowd on the grounds this morning
was the hundreds of automobiles.
At the auto races Wednesday after
noon the grandstand and bleachers
were packed. and many hundreds of
spectators sat and stood upon the
ground. Inside the quarter stretch,
too, were thousands of spectators and
scores of automobiles.

0 CURB INJUNCTION POWER

Atlantic City, Sept. 14.-The execu-
tive council of the American fedora
ton of labor prepared today, the fifth
of its annual session to outline legisla-
ton which it hopes to have introduced
before congress as part of its next
years program.
AS the program has been developed
thus far. the labor chiefs expect to
concentrate their efforts in promoting
three amendments to the constitution
and other major legislation aimed to
make the constitution and laws moro
flexible and better able to meet the
needs of the people" They will in
clude:
"An amendment to the constitution
intended to curb the injunction power
vested in federal officials as demon
strated in the present injunction
against the railroad shop crafts. In
this connection nationwide move
ment already is under way, according
to Matthew VOL, vice president of
the federation, to pave the way for
antistrike injunction legislation. An
amendment fixing Is years as. the
minimum age for child laborers and
authorizing congress to raise the min
imum age as conditions warrant.
Deprives Toilers of Rights
An amendment giving congress
power to repass and thus legalize laws
WHICH may De enacted ana Cnen de-
clared unconstitutional by the United
States supreme court. Repeal of the
Sherman antitrust law, which, ac-
cording to members of the council,
has been used to deprive the toilers
of their natural rights, instead of to
prevent illegal combinations in re-
straint of trade"
Legislation to prohibit the enact
ment of any law which would deny
the right of the workers of the United
States to organize for the betterment
of their conditions; to deal collectively
with employers or to collectively with
hold their patronage and labor and
induce others to do So"
Want Kansas Law Repealed.
Also included in the national pro-
gram of the executive council to be
worked out thru states, will be a drive
thru the legislatures to bring about
the repeal of the Kansas Industrial
law and the Colorado industrial COM
mission as well as to actively combat
efforts to inaugurate similar statutes
in other states, notably New York and
Massachusetts,. Both of these indus
trial laws now operating the labor

Gus and obnoxious" in a. statement
which particularly denounced the
Kansas court as the greatest fraud
ever perpetrated on the American

WON'T RECOGNIZE UNIONS
Santa Fe Officials Say Shop Crafts
Unions Cease to Exist.

In official Santa Fe circles here to-
day the view generally is held that as
far as that railroad is concerned, the
shop craft unions have ceased to exist.
On the other hand, union officials as
sert that even tho the Santa Fe main
tains its position of refusal to recog
nize any settlement with the craft un-
ions, it will be only short time'until
their memberships again have been
built up on the Santa Fe system.
A statement issued a week ago by
Vice President Wells stated the Santa
Fe shop forces were then S5 per cent
complete and new men were being
employed daily, and that the Santa
Fe would have no further negotiations
with the craft unions. Mr.. Wells
pointed out that the men now working
in the shops have organized new as
sociations, in each of the six crafts,
with which the company has entered
into agreements. These new associa-
tions, it was pointed out, which in
clude more than 80 per cent of the
shop employees, have supplanted the
striking unions.

new FINE ARTS BUILDING
Plans for $3.50, 900 Structure at Wash
burn Have Been Drawn.

The first specifications for the new
fine arts building at Washburn college
to be erected this fall were made pub
lie today, by Thomas w. Williamson,
architect. The approximate cost OF
the building will be between 800, 900
and $150,000. 1t will be a two-story
stone.
The building will be located north of
the new Beton dormitory and will
face the west. 1t will enable the art

being drawn by Williamson and as
soon as they are approved by the
board of trustees of the college ar
rangements will be made for the let
ting of the contract. The contract will
probably be let in October.
