thunder, rain and hail storm. 1t proved
to be of such magnitude that we had
no train service on the c. NJ. & st.
Paul line for FIVE days, because of ice
flows Gripping bridges and piling up on
the track. The entire central west

situated in low land, like Darlington,

POLICE WARN PRANKSTERS
Some Topeka Parents May Find Their
Sons at Police Station.


Sons at Police Station.
Topeka parents who allow their
boys to go out and play Halloween
pranks tonight probably may locate
them by calling police headquarters.
Several youngsters were rounded up
Monday night by the officers and re-
leased with severe lectures. But the
police won't stop with lectures tonight,
was the declaration of Morris Leon
ard, chief of police.
Practically every member of the
force will be on duty tonight, and
motorcycle officers may appear any
where III the city to interrupt the
''fun'' of carrying away and destroy
ing property, soaping street car rails,
blocking streets and other light forms
of amusement INDUCED in on Hal
loween. The officers, Chief Leonard
declared. are going to exercise their
prerogatives of picking up anyone for
investigation, so police headquarters
will be the clearing house for missing
sens and anxious parents.
Since there are SO many youngsters,
and some grown-ups. who persist in
celebrating the night by actual van
dalism. the innocent will be compelled
to suffer with the guilty The police
are going to do their best to prevent
property destruction, and consequent
ly are going to act upon their sus-
picions, instead of waiting for them
to materialize. Therefore the safest
plan will be to celebrate indoors, or
at least someSxhere beside upon the
public streets.

clared the ma jority opinion of the
railroad and public groups was "fal-

The majority tries to make the

pay that brings decency with it: that

The majority says the average
wage for these men on thru roads is

men get more pay than the 81 cent
men when considered in relation to
living conditions on the respective ter
ritories. The 25 cent men are mostly
negroes and Mexicans in the south
east, so the majority admits that il
gives the Mexicans more pay than IL
gives native born Americans. How in
the eyes of God or man can the ma
jority justify that?
Does Not Ask Opulence.
"The majority does not distinguish
between pauperism and opulence. 1t
pretends that what labor terms liv-

doesn't ask opulence. 1t asks only
American decency.

spring had advised the workers to
strike against the decision of the
award and had issued Incendiary
arguments to the employees"
when we wished to make our posi-
tion clear publicly, we were refused
the right of official publication.
The majority apparently wished to
keep pushing wages forever down
ward. with no thought of the conse-
quence.
ut is only because OF the decided
stand taken by labor that any kind of
halt at all has been called"

won't always get the kind of coal they
want, nor the quality. but they'll burn
it and be thankful. So far as the

pretty well lined up.
