Ben w. Hooper of the Railroad
Labor Board for giving the impress
sion to President Harding that the
seniority question was the only
issue.
In a statement. Bert NJ. Jewell.
president of the shopmen. detailed
the triple grievance. The strike
can be settled only by meeting the
three demands, Jewell declared.
Clerks and freight handlers of
the Northwestern road after a con-
ference with w. L. McMenimen. of
the labor board, decided not to
strike. A compromise was reached
including agreement by the board
to reopen the wage decision affect
ing them as soon as possible.
Rival Predictions.
Rail executives announced the
strike had caused no serious delay
in handling of freight or passen-
gers. They said the cut in sched-
ules was due to the coal shortage.
Union leaders predicted that roll
ing stock was piling up in the
shops and that the number of cars
and locomotives available for serv-
ice was rapidly growing less.
President Harding is assured of
the undivided support of the farm
ers in his efforts to settle the rail
and mine strikes. ]. r. Howard.
president of the American Farm
Bureau Federation, the greatest or
ganization of farmers in the coun-
try, today sent two lengthy tele-
grams to President Harding, urg-
ing him to take whatever steps
were necessary to maintain trans
portation and mine operation. Pres
ident Harding was told that the
farm federation would go the limit
in backing him.

this case is pending strict observ-
ance of what the constituted au-
thorities consider the law is the
only hope for labor.
The boycott will get nowhere.
Prute force will prejudice this
case.
kansas must realize the situa-
tion in which Governor Allen is
placed. He feels that the strike
imperils life and property. In ad-
ministering the law as he sees it
he has been brave and patriotic.
II do not agree with him in the
action which seems to suppress the
fundamental rights of free speech.
My protest was energetic and seems
the only self-respecting thing for
man to do who feels as / feel. But
difference in opinion should not
prevent me nor all good citizens
from upholding his hands and CIV
ing him the earnest support which
loyalty requires.
"Living Wage fs Basis"
The idea Of adjudi eating INDUS
trial dispates is right.
The living wage for the unskil1ed
laborer is the basis upon which
wage adjudication must rest.
The Kansas court has laid down
that principle. II the National La
Dor Board had adhered to the ba-
sis of living wages in its contro-
versy with shopmen. this strike
would never have occurred.
The shopmen are out in a just
cause but in an ill-timed strike. The
cause OF labor can win only with
public sentiment behind 1t and to
revert to brute force now would be
a disastrous mistake"
with White. two railroad men
were arrested charged with dis
tributing strike sympathy signs in
Emporia business districts. They
were william Pierce and Justin
Morgan. They were charged with
conspiracy against the State law
against picketing.
The offense Is punishable by a
fine of $1,000 or a year in Jail. or
both State officials promised
speedy trials.
The formal arrest of the author
of Henry and Me" lacked the ex-
pected dramatics. L. NJ. Hull, as
sistant secretary of Gov. Allen. ar
rived here during the afternoon and
spent an hour and a half waiting
in the office of Richard Boynton.
county attorney and cousin of
White. for the arrest warrant TO
be issued.
c. S. Gibson, county sheriff, was
then called and ordered to serve
the papers.
Did Not Know of Arrest.
White did not know he was under
arrest until advised by newspaper
men. The warrant. by a prear-
ranged plan. was served on Henry
Ganse. Whites attorney, who i'm
mediately gave the $500 appearance
bond.
The Emporia sage was visibly
piqued that he was not invited to
be present at his own arrest.
The sheriff could have come out
here and arrested me II he wanted
to-" White said. as he sat in his
home here tonight. T wouldn't

Successes unexcelled by any minister

Mpre eloquent than any tribute that
could be given him in terms of beau
tifu language, are the statistics
which reflect the result of his two
years labor in our midst; substan-
tial increase in membership; un-
paralleled record of Sunday School
attendance and interest which is
detailed in another column; stagger-
ing amount of $4,000 contributed to
all causes during the year 1921; a
marvellous growth in the Epworth
League, and phenomenal indeed has
been the growth in numbers and in
terest in the Woman's Mississionary
Society.
Possessed with wonderful per-
sonality that wins a way into the
hearts of all with whom he comes
in contact. this man stands ver-
table tower Of strength and in
fluence for good in our community.
His wSrm friends and, ardent ad..
aaireas are not limited to ths son /
fines Of; the Methodist church, but
are numbered by his acquaintenan-
sces. His worth and ability are rec
ognized BY the leads of the Metho-

by the fact that he is at present Sec
retarY Of the Board of Education Of
