HE DENIES REPORT
Conditions Are Normal on Rock
Island, Says Breheny.
No Weapons Found at Herring
ton, Trainmaster Declares.

Any statement from the striking
shop crafts to the effect that the
Santa Fe or any other road is hauling
freight for the Rock Island was today
branded as false by ]. J. Breheny,
Rock Island trainmaster.
This statement could not be fur

because no railroad rs handling any

We are handling the biggest business
of any road in Kansas today. 10 en-
bargoes or delays of any kind have ex-
listed since. July 1, and every depart
ment is functioning in a normal, easy
way. So far as the Rock Island is
concerned. conditions couldn't be bet
ter"

Wednesday by other Rock Island Of
ficials that entire new watering and
icing crews have been recruited at
Topeka, and that officials and depart
ment heads had been relieved of that
work, Mr.. Breheny says that the rip

er necessary to employ new men.
Repair Work Cleaned Up.
Il can truthfully say that on my
territory, which extends from Her
ington north TO Belleville and east to
Kansas City and St. Joe. that not only
is the immense volume of business be-
ing handled with promptness and dis
patch, but We are entirely cleaned up
so far as repair work is concerned.
The day the strike became effec-
tive we had fifty-five cars awaiting
repair on the rip track at Topeka
These have not only been repaired and
put back into service but we have
handled all current repair work since
that time and-every night the track is
clean. This work is being handled as
well, If anything better, than it was
before the strike
Referring to a statement made
Tuesday by the publicity representa-
tive of the local shop crafts, purport-
ing to show that the Rock Island was
employing thugs and gunner in its
shops at Herington, Breheny said that
II guns, knives or other weapons had
neen round upon any of the men there
IL was news to Rock Island officials.
No Gun Play at Herfngton.
II have just telephoned to Herring
ton and if there has been any gun
play or any weapons found upon the
men working in the shops there such
a condition has never been reported
to us" said Breheny. I'VE did find
however, after a couple of days, that
some of the men we had employed,
who had represented themselves as
anxious to find work. were card men
and professional I. w. WIS. who were
Immediately exposed and discharged.
1t was found that they were really
strikers who entered the shops to
spread their I. W. w. propaganda and
create dissension among the rank and
file who really wanted to work, and
who are still at work.
1t should be understood that in en-
ploying a large number of men a few
of the under element must be dealt
with. These have been fast singled
out, exposed and discharged with the
result that the new men now in our
employ are high class, honorable fell
lows, good American citizens who
deem it an honor to gain a living by
the sweat Of their brow"

Hair Often Ruined
By Careless Washing

Soap should be used very carefully,
if you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes tn. hair

The best thing for steady use is
Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo
(Which is pure and greaseleSs), and is
better than anything else you can use.
Two or three teaspoonfuls of MulsI-

warm water is sufficient to cleanse the
hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply

it in. 1t makes an abundance of rich

STEVIC IS NAMED
Succeeds d. L. Chandler as
Head of Industrial Council.
Plan Is Outlined to Aid Small
Industries Here.

At the regular meeting of the To-
peka Industrial Council Wednesday

the coming year as follows: J. o.

terms; Chandler. vice president: Yves

lor, retiring vice president. members
OF the board of trustees; Caesar Ger
don, sergeant at arms; T. B. Garrett,
editor of the labor column.
The members of the council dis
cussed the industrial situation in To-
peka in relation to the many small in
dustries which exist here, and q COM
mittee was named to make survey
of the small factories in the city, and
report to the entire council.
To Aid Small Industries,
1t is planned for the council to then
take steps to aid these small indus
tries in any way possible, to grow. The
members of the committee appointed
to make the survey are: w. H. Kerle,
chairman; James T. F1dler of the
Brotherhood of Railway Carmen, and
Dan Richmond, business agent for the
Hold Carriers and Common Laborers'
union.
To Work With c. of C.
1t was stated today by the new
president of the council. ]. o. Stevic,
that it is hoped that the Industrial
Council will be able to work in CO.
operation with the industrial commit
tee of the Chamber of Commerce,
since the aims of the two organiza-
tions with regard to the development
of industry in Topeka, are the same.
The present rail strike has opened
the eyes of laboring people to the fact
that Topeka's industrial security is in
jeopardy SO long as it is permitted to
remain a 'one-man' town, or in other
words, so long as it depends almost
wholly on the railroad interests for
support" Stevic said.
THE chopping off of thousands of
dollars from the payroll of rail en-
ployes has made a deep impression
upon the business of the city. and a
realization that further attempts will
be made to cut the city's source of in
come, has prompted the laboring peo-
pie to get into action to see that mis-
cellaneous avenues of employment are
opened.
I'm the opinion of delegates to the
council it is believed a survey of many
small factories now located here will
show an opportunity for growth If
they are encouraged.
Nearly every mercantile line in To-
peka is overdone, and the future
growth and prosperity of the city de-
ponds upon developing of it's indus
trial activities. It is thought by labor
the Sanest way to approach this prob
lem is to strengthen the factories al
ready here before reaching out for
new ones"
