Railroad May Be Reorganized
as Missouri Corporation.
Withdrawal of Present Re-
ceivership To Be Asked.
CHARTERED IN KANSAS NOW
Has Been One of Largest Do
mestic Corporations in State.
Copy of Application Said To Be
Presented to Hopkins.

Plans for reorganization of the
Katy railroad and withdrawal from
it's present receivership were outlined
to state officials today by representa-
tives of the railroad. 1t is probable
that the road will reorganize and may
elect to seek a charter as a Missouri
corporation. At present the Katy is
a Kansas corporation.
Plans Discussed Here.
For several years the katy has been
in the hands of a receiver. Plans to
reorganiZe the company and restore
the road to private operation were
discussed at the state mouse today.
An hour after representative of the
Katy went to the attorney generals S
office Attorney General Hopkins said
he did not know enough about the re-
organization to discuss it's general
terms. It was reported that a copy
of the charter application was pre-
sented to Hopkins when the interview
began.
May Go to Missouri.
The Katy railroad has been one of
the largest domestic corporations in
Kansas. State house reports today
were to the effect that the Kansas
charter board would be asked to ap-
prove merely the general reorganiza-
ton program and to grant the COM
pany charter as a Missouri corpor-
alton. Its principal charter is expect
ed to be applied for at Jefferson City.

Governor COngratHlates Presi-
dent on Action to End Coal
Strike.
Says Kansas Is Producing Half
of Normal Supply Now.

In message to President Harding
today, Governor Allen declared KAN
sas is producing better than SO per
cent of her normal coal tonnage. He
congratulated the president on his de-
cisive action to end the coal and rail
strikes and gave assurance that under
the industrial court act there would
be no difficulty in returning to
normal production.
Governors Message.
The governors telegram to Prssi-
dent Harding follows:
Have read your telegram with great in
cisiveness with which you have taken hold
of the situation. 1t ought to produce good
results in the nation. In Kansas fmmed1-
ately prior to the cessation of mining on
tions made a temporary order permitting
the continuation of the old wage scale and
working conditions for period OF thirty
days to enable miners and operators to be-
gin and if possible conclude negotiations
for new contract
The operators did not object to such or
der and offered to commence negottatt ttons
Immediately. The mine leaders declined
then directed the operators to resume min
ing for the purpose of meeting the Kansas
demand as 1t arose, guaranteeing protec-
ton to their miners and their properties
The operations were resumed upon scale
which for several weeks has produced fifty
per cent of the normal average output OF
the Kansas fields and is now doing better
than that and all Kansas needs are being
met both as to domestic and industrial
fuel stop.
The number of miners increases daily
The Kansas industrial act forbids picket
ing of any kind and there will be no diff
fieulty in resuming full operation In the

TO BACK HARDING HOPE FOR PEACE
Washington Not Quite So Blue
Today as 1t Was Tuesday.
Settlement of the Twin Strikes
Seems Much Nearer, Belief.

Washington, July 19-The deep
shape of indigo that has enshrouded
official Washington for the last two
weeks In its unsuccessful efforts to
aces presented by the coal and railroad
strikes. was penetrated today by a few
rays of optimism.
On top of hopeful messages from
Chicago that the rail strike is yield
ing steadily to settlement, it became
known here that tentative peace feel
ers have passed between the warning
camps of miners and operators in
washington
But the Cabinet Hopes.
Cabinet officers in touch with all
sides of the industrial turmoil, de-
scribed the situation as "stin tense,
but hopeful
The eleventh hour move toward
peace originated, it is understood, on
the part of a considerable number of
operators who are privately pessimistic
over the prospects of mining coal, with
protection of the federal and state
troops-
They are operators also who have
always dealt with the United Mine
Workers. whose districts were strongly
organized and who, from the first.
have favored a conciliatory policy
toward the union.
Must Represent Big Fields.
Messages have passed between them
and union officials remaining in
Washington, it is understood, that
John L. Lewis, head of the mine work
ers, sent back word that so far as the
union is concerned. it is solely a ques-
ton of tonnage, that is, if sufficient
tonnage is represented by those op-
orators favocing peaceful settlement,
then the miners are willing to talk
business.
The operators who are directing the
peace feelers have begun a careful
canvass to determine how much tom
mage they can secure in favor of hold
ing a joint conference with the miners
to seek a new national agreement

Unexpended Balances of State
Funds Won't Help Taxpayers.
Total of 4,2OO,357 Needed for
Present Fiscal Year.
REPORT MADE BY STATE AUDIT
Property Values in Kansas Are
Far Below Last Year.
State Now Has Credit of So, 5,075,-
565 in Treasury.

Unexpended balances of state insti-
tutlons will not help the taxpayer in
the making of the new state tax levy.
That was the message which Norton
A. Turner. state auditor, today sent
to the state tax commission. He shows
that a total of $14,20o.s57 will be
needed to carry the state thru the
balance OF the fiscal year and to pay
bills during the new tax year.
Direct taxes to be raised are S.
100000 as against $S,4S1,45S pro-
duced thru the state levy a year ago.
The fact that number of the institu-
means little if anything to the Kansas
property owners, Turner points out.
He shows in his communication to the
state commission that all of the funds
reserved from building and mainte-
nance accounts are at disposal of the
institutions for the ensuing year.
Credit of $5,O75,565
In-1e21 the legislature fixed the
amount of money to be raised by di-
rect levy. The fact the state
has a credit of S5,075, ,565 which may
be drawn from the county treasurers
year Indicates that there will be lit
tie if any difficulty in meeting all de-
partment and institutional claims.
Estimated unexpended appropria-
Cons Tor the IlScdI year OF 1879 at z
given at $550,0OO. The fee fund to
January 1, next year, is placed at
$2,774,792. A year ago the fund with
county treasurers amounted to $2,-
4S1.43S.
There will be little change in the
state tax levy this year, state officials
believe. While the amount to be
raised by direct taxes is $2,1S1, 43S less
than last year, the available property
values are far below those of 1921.
Cost of the next legislature, includ-
ing deficiency and emergency appro-
priatfons to be made by the law MAX
ers, is estimated by Auditor Turner at
100000. He also estimates state ex-
penditures for the first half of the
fiscal year of 1924-taking the ac-
count to January 1, 1s24-at $S,-
Fund of $f4, ,2OO, ,S5z.

pended balances and fee funds. Kan

Turner in his letter OF transmittal.

WAGE ORDER HELD UP
Laundries and Factories Not Affected
by New Court Finding.


Putting into effect of the new mini
mum wage order was held up today by
the Shawnee county district court so
concerned. The local court today
granted a restraining order which pro-
hibits making effective the new wage
award for women in the two classes of
industries.
Suits to test both the merits of the
labor court wage award and its au-
thority to make a new wage scale for
women under existing conditions were
filed in the Shawnee county district
court last week. The cases are to be
taken before the United States su
preme court If necessary in order to
secure a determination of the Kansas
boards rights.
1t has been reported that the indus
trial court has refused to make a
stipulation which will hold in abey-
ance the wage decision, pending final
court action in cases now pending.
Under their action each individual
employer would be compelled to bring
separte court action to protest
against making the new wage scale ef-
fective.
The Shawnee county restraining or
der is declared to bar action by the
industrial court to enforce its decision
so far as laundries and factories are
concerned. The order of the district
court will stand pending final decision
on merits of the case.
Reports at the state house today
were to the effect that the Industrial
court and welfare division is prepar-
ing notices to employers regarding the
new wages ordered in the recent case.

KIDDiES IN BIG PARADE
Youngsters Are Guests at SoIons-
Hutchinson Game.

Several thousand kiddies are taking
in the ball game this afternoon be-
tween the Solons and Hutchinson at
Southwestern league park.
The youngsters are there as the

from Fourth street at o'clock, led
by the Boys Industrial school band
and the entire student body. At
Eighth avenue the youngsters were
loaded on street cars bound for the
ball park.
1t is believed that equally as many
went directly to the park from their
homes. An attempt was made to
place a free ticket in the hand OF
every youngster but shortly before the
game started the gates were thrown
open and every child. Is years old or
younger, admitted free.

Congress Now Plans to Give Back
Fines to Food Profiteers.

Washington, July 19-Passage of
a bill by Senator Elkins, Republican,
West Virginia, to remit the fines of
persons convicted during the war of
profiteering in food, has been recon-
mended by the department of justice
to the senate claims committee to
which the Elkins bill was referred.
r. H. Howett, assistant attorney
general, has written the committee
endorsing the Elkins bill, advising the
legislation in view of the fact that
the supreme court declared void

which fines of S277,000 were imposed.
The courts decision gave convicted
persons the right to sue for return of
