WESTERN BUSINESS
SLOWING UP SOME
Uncertainty OF Goa! and Rail-
road Strike Exerting a Re-
straining Influence

Chicago. July 15.-A slowing up Of
activity in some industrial ines was
indicated by some of the trade reports
received covering western crntcrs. In
most cases whore n renclion was reported
Il was attributed to the coal situation,
which Is beginning TO pinch in some
cNSes. Moreover the rtainty con-
nmtcd with tho rail shopmen's strike
and the possibility of an extension Of
the trouble caused n little more anxiety
inasmuch as the rail difficulties are
over tapping the coal strike.
In the steel trade there Is still an
active demand Mt the leading western
ctntcrs for products for quick ship
m"nt, and the automobile manufar-
turcrs are taking considerable stock.
building is going ahead rapidly in many
sections and this is making more or
less urgent demand for structural steel,
which Is a big influence in the trade.
The. steel industry is feeling the effect
OF the coal strike.

Riddles In Some Homes
OfRaiL and Mine Strikers
Face q Real Hard Winter
State Orphans Home VIII Probably Increase Its List of
Wards to Record Number-Malcolm Gray, Secretary
of Board of Administrations, Is Alarmed

This may be a hard winter for
many kiddies in the homes of rail
shop and mine strikers. It looks as
tho the youngsters will pay for the in
dustrial disputes in a number of the
homes where dad has had a summer
vacation because of an argument
which his union held with the en-
ployer. Consequently the state or
paans home will probably increase its
list of wards to record number
Malcolm Gray, secretary of the state
board of administration, is viewing the
situation with some genuine concern.
Unless father gets back on the job and
begins bringing home some bread and
beefsteak a good many persons who
question will probablys help pay the
fiddler. SO Gray is today making
estimates as to the maximum number
of children who may be cared for at
the state orphans home at Atchison.
State Asked To Provide Homes.
In at least a half dozen cases re-
Gently the state has been asked to pro-
vide homes for children who faced
rather cruel world because dad hasn't
been working lately. In other in
stances individual counties have been
appealed to for assistance. Some of
the homes, the record shows, have,
been broken up because of inability
to keep the flock together and help
maintain a 100 per cent strike line
Ernest Mossman is the latest striker
to display his undying loyalty to the
union. Mossman is simply a stickler
for principle. He is lion and a wolf
and a bull dog when it comes to ten
acity for the cause. He joined in sing
ing hallelujah songs when the Horton
shop men walked out and vowed they
wouldn't return until the strike was
won.
The strike hasn't been won. Moss
man was true to his word. He didn't
go back. He may never get back. But
he is still sticking tight. The jazz and
jeer of the initial strike day has be-
come a sombre picture of over the
hills to the poor house But the world

BASEBALL ISN'T IN IT
British NobIeman Describes Lat
est Outdoor Sports in London as
Compared With Baseball.

New York, Oct. 5.-Lord and Lady
Mountbatten-she is one of England's
prettiest and richest women and he is
King Georges cousin-decided today
they would go to the world series
game and compare, it with Londons
new outdoor sport-"beaver."
They are here on honeymoon.
They do not care to discuss politics
and are not enthusiastic about refer
ence to Constantinop,e-but when it
comes to beaver and "decameron"
those appear to be sports for roy
atty and cockney alike. Beaver,
said Lord Mountbatten. lis a street
game any one can play. You walk
along with a friend. If you spot a
chap with a beard you call out bea-
YER that counts fifteen points. If it
is white beard, that is polar bea-
YER and counts thirty. You score as
in tennis. The winner makes the loser
buy the drinks. Anc it is driving
boards right out of London"
And then decameron. THAT appears
to be purely mans game. You
simply pick out the beauty spots on
the girls faces" explained Lord
Mountbatten. See one, ana It counts
fifteen. Get the girl to smile and it
counts thirty"

owes fellow living. And Mossman
won't let trifIes stand in the way of a
fight for principle.
His Wife Went To Work.
Shortly after the strike started, it
seems that Mrs. Mossman found a job
in Topeka. She made trips back to
Horton occasionally and took new
clothes and little dainties for the
kiddies.
In the meantime Mossman stayed
right on the job of helping keep the
Rock Island shops idle. Mossman's
father-aged 80 years-stayed at
home and looked after the house
work. He cooked the meals. made the
beds. even mended the clothes, it
seems
The younger Mossman stayed con-
slant and true to the strike call. Oc-
casionally the grocer, the butcher and
the landlord wanted a little money on
account. But this is broad world of
liberty and~free speech and free ac-
ton and Mossman waved them aside
with disdain. They could wait until
the strike was won. Then they would
be sitting on the world.
Mossman's three kiddies began to
look a bit run down and frayed at the
heels after a couple of months of the
strike. The elder of the two boys be-
gan to find more time for corner loaf
ing and fathers responsibility of
keeping steam in the slipping strike
cause didn't give as much opportunity
for home fire problems as he might
otherwise desire.
Children to State Home.
Then came the crash. 1t looked as
tho the children were going away.
Mossman made a fine speech the day
they were ordered sent to the state
home. He said he wanted to pay for
their support just as soon as he could
get to work.
The next day Mossrhan and three
other men were arrested on. a charge
of interfering with men who wanted
to work in the Horton shops. They
were charged with intimidation and
released under $500 bond.
Mossman is still true to the cause.

REVIVE Usage COUNTY FEUD

Supreme Court Hears Red Hot Argu-

room to hear arguments of, counsel

Twice new commissioner lines were
fixed in settling the question of equal

there was new trouble regarding the

were forced to keep. So the matter
was brought before the supreme court
for settlement when application was
made for a writ of mandamus.
