.RAUSCH ISSUES STATEMENT
Tells of Methods Used in Getting Old
Employees TO Work.

Tells of Methods Used in Getting Old
Employees TO Work.
The following statement was issued
this afternoon by f w. Rausch, pub
licity director for the executive COM
mittee of the striking shopmen:
Several days ago it was reported that
the new firemen's association had recently
vising ways and means to get old en-
ployes back in the shop, that this was
necessary in order that the shops might
function properly.
After some discussion a plan was
adopted and agreed to that each foreman
visit the home of a former empleye and
try and induce him to come back to work
by telling him that all positions in the de-
filled except one preferred position and
that If he would come back he would be
assigned to this choice position, and that
their (the foremen) reason for offerin 6
this favor to him was because they had
special interest in his personal welfare.
and that this was the last chance he had
of ever getting back in the shops.
The executive committee thought this re-
actually caught two fOremen in the act.
John Stafford, assistant general painter
foreman in the coach department. was met
by a committee when he visited the home
of a former employe at 1102 East Sec
ond street and what he told this employe
verified the report of the plan as having
been adopted at the association meeting.
John Armstrong assistant general fore
man in the machine shop visited the home
of a former employe at S21 Chestnut street.
This man was not at home but COM
mittee was there waiting for Armstrong
and the only excuse that he had to offer
was that this former employe had called
him over the telephone and asked him to
come and see him.
That these foremen do not wish to be
seen performing this new duty is evident
from the fact that Stafford approached
his prospective by the way of the alley,
and Armstrong waited until after dark
to make his visit.
These and other instances of similar ma
ture are proving to our men without ques-
ton of doubt that the Santa Fe needs
good mechanics and are using these tactics
as last restort.
IL all the positions in the various de-
partments were filled except one in each
department, foremen would not be taking
personal interest in our personal welfare.
And also we now have thoro under
standing of the method the Superintendent
had reference to when he informed the
Capital reporter some time ago that we are
now picking our employees.

STANFIELD DEFENDS PLANT
Water Filtration System Docs Not
Cause Explosions, He Says.

Cause Explosions, He Says.
The theory advanced from some
quarters that the installation of the
new city water filtration plant is re-
sponsib1e for the explosion and other
failures of ammonia refrigerating sys-
TENS in Topeka, is combated by w
A. Stanfeld, city commissioner of water
and electric lights.
There has been a large number of
such failures recently, the last one of
the series occurring Sunday
1t had been stated that the city
water is not SO cool since it has been
passed thru the filtration plant, and
that in cooling it the extra number
of degrees necessary, the plants were
overtaxed and refused to carry the
load.
This isn't true. since the temperature
of the city water is determined by the
earth thru which the mains run, STAN
fled says. He says that while there is
difference of some two degrees in
the temperature of the water now and
before the installation of the plant
Immediately at the plant-that this
difference is overcome when the water
reaches the city.
It's a fact that the warm weather
has come on, and the earth is warmer
now than before. just at the time the
installation of the plant occurred, that
makes persons think the water is
warmer now that the plant is in"

HECKLE MEETS OFFICIALS
Tells Members of Kansas League OF
Municipalities of Road System.


E. ]. Heckle. secretary and manager
of the Kansas State Automobile Own
erS' association, met the representa-
tives of Kansas cities gathered here in
the conference of officials of the
League of Kansas Municipalities to-
day. Heckle addressed the city men
at their luncheon at the Chamber of
Commerce at noon today.
He explained to them in detail the
plan of the association for a state
highway system. and the securing of
state and federal aid for good roads in
Kansas. He pointed out to them the
manner in which cities are able to Sc
cure state and federal aid in the i'm
provement of streets within their
boundaries which connect with i'm
proved county roads.
The plan of the Automobile Owners
association was submitted to the
league officials with the idea of hav-
ing them endorse it as legislative ma
terial for the next session of the state
legislature. Following his address,
the delegates went into executive ses-
sion at the state house again, to con-
slider the plan.

How To Look and Feel
Bright in Hot Weather

When depressed by the heat and you
want to freshen up for the afternoon or
evening, just bathe the face in a lotion
made by dissoiving an ounce of pure pow
dered saxolite in a half pint of witch hazel.
You Will find this more refreshing than an
hours rest
AS wrinkle-remover the saxolise lotion
is remarkably successful. Its action is al
most magical. The deepest fdrrows. as
well as the finest lines-wbetheP due to
age. Illness weather or worry-are imme-
diately affected. Enlarged pores are re-
duced. fIabby skin is drawn in" facial
contour is improved wonderfully. The
simple ingredients of course can be had
at any drug store. and you need not hesi-
tate to try the lotion, it will not harm

INDEPENDENTS CREEP UP.
Standard Oil Group Only Handle:
About Half the Oil Business.

Washington, Aug. S.-About half
the gasoline business handled by the
independent oil companies and about
half by the Standard group of COM
panies. r. L. WEIGH, secretary of the
American Petroleum institute, testi-
fled today at a continuation of the
senate inquiry into gasoline prices.
The Independents have gradually
and constantly taken a larger ratio of
the business" Mr.. Welch said. Last
year the Independents handled about
81 per cent of the total refined oil
products. AS to investments. it is my
honest judgment that the independ-
ents have about 50 to every 81 by the
Standard group"
