KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. 21.-
Unworried by denunciations from
Kansas City pulpits, Miss Josephine
Haldeman-Julius, 18, and Aubrey G..
Roselle, 20, today completed plans
for their So-called "companionate
marriage" under parental super
vision. They viii be married Thanks
giving day.
Miss Haldeman julius, daughter
of the Girard, Kas., publishers and
authors, and Roselle, also of Girard,
and a sophomore at the University
of Kansas, planned to be married,
but to live apart, continuing their
schooling. Roselle viii make no at
tempt to support his bride until he
has finished his university course.
She will live with her parents.
When both have completed their
education, under the announced
plan, they will decide whether the
marriage has been successful. If
the decision is in the affirmative,
they will live together. Otherwise,
they will be divorced.
License for. the marriage was is
sued here Saturday:
1.-THE solution of unrest among
young persons today is economic, /"
Haldeman-Julius explained. I'VE
know young people have emotional
interests long before the average
marriage can take place. Certainly
the young person today is not 60
ing to disregard them quietly and
unnaturally.
How much better for them to
marry when love prompts and per-
nit them to live a rational life,
physiologically speaking. 1t can be
accomplished in this day only with
the aid of parents willing to sup
port the young people until they
have completed their schooling"
Ministerial comments on the mar
riage yesterday ranged from bitter
denunciation to qualified praise.

SLACK TO OUTLINE AIMS
Flood Curb, Hospital Aid,

Get Consideration.

Definite action upon several major
municipal improvement projects,
held up for months while the con-
troyersy ragged over the mayor and
city controller offices, may result
from Mayor L. Ert Stacks appear
ance before city council tonight.
Slack was invited to speak upon
administration policies and mutual

President Claude E. Negley. He &C
cepted and asked all department
heads to attend.
+ Ordinances providing funds for
the flood prevention program, track
elevation and a new Gamewell sys-
tenn, and the $1,700,000 for the city
hospital building program are meas
ures lost in the tumble of city con-
trollerS before Stacks election.
Holt Faces TangIe
Sterling r. Holt was named con-
troller by Slack to straighten out
the tangle.
The hospital ordinance, redrafted
after council rescinded action on a
measure declared illegal, has been
held up in the controllers Office
since shortly before William G..
Buser, brother-in-law Of John L..
Duvall, former mayor, left on his
vacation last summer. When Buser
returned, he found he had been
fired" by Duvall.
Claude F. Johnson, Mrs. John l..
Duvall, Ira H. Holmes and Frank
Cones were not in the controllers
office long enough to straighten out
the tangIe and learn the administra-
tons policy. The health board de-
clafed the hospital ordinance an
emergency to provide badly needed
buildings.
Councils session tonight Is the
first meeting since election of Slack
to succeed Claude E. Negley, mayor
pro tenn. 1t will be one of the few
times an Indianapolis man has been
invited to outline his policies before
council. Slack has not announced
whether he will push the projects
begun by Duvall boards.

The south side Belt railroad ele-
Walton program and widening and

pending in council for weeks, dur
ing which time the council threat
ened impeachment of Duvall.
Blythe @. Hendricks, WFMB di-
rector, announced Stacks speech
will be broadcast if arrangements
can be made. There was some doubt
whether proper electrical connec-
lions could be established in time
for the address.

FLOOD CONTROL
CLASH IMPENDS
Missouri Plans Up Today,
to Meet Opposition.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-The
House flood control committee to-
day was to receive the Missouri
plan" of flood control, drafted by
Senator Harry B. Halves, Democrat,
Missouri.
The plan provides expenditure OF
$100,000,000 a year for ten years,
with the Federal Government
handling the program through a
special commission.
The billion-dollar fund would be
obtained by issuing bonds.
A second warning to flood control
advocates not to attempt too large
a program just has been sounded,
this time by Representative Madden,
Republican, Illinois, chairman OF
the House Appropriations Commit
tee.
Last week a similar warning was
issued by Senator Caraway, Demo-
crat, Arkansas.
Madden cautioned against taking
advantage of public sentiment to
add costly projects that would have
no chance of passage in Congress.
Senator Caraway said that the
flood control program must be
limited to the Mississippi River
from Cairo to the gulf.
Both Madden and Caraway are
opposed to the Missouri plan AND
the Oklahoma plan as presented
last week to the House flood COM
mittee.

Green and Lewis Present
Plea of Unions at
White House.
CONFERENCE is URGED
Executive Told of Alleged
Plot of Railroads to
DepresS Prices.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2l.-Promi-
nent labor men appealed to Presi-
dent Coolidge today to call confer
ence of miners and operators in an
effort to end the present strike in
the bituminouS field.
President william Green of the
American Federation of Labor, and
President John L. Lewis of the
United Mine Workers Of America,
with members of the declarations
executive committee, spent more
than an hour with the president in
presenting their appeal and pictur-
ing the coal strike situation.
The labor representatives also
asked the President to investigate
an alleged conspiracy of large rail-
road corporations to depress the
price of coal.
Grievances Are Aired
Green explained that the rail-
roads themselves consume 331-3 per
cent of the entire bituminouSh coal
supply in this country and, there
fore, are an important factor in
price fixing.
1.-The freight rate structure, ("
Green said" is based on fair price
for fuel and if that price were main
tanned, coal operators could pay a
fair wake, the wage the miners de-
mand."
In view of statements made at
the White House recently, observers
here were inclined to doubt that
President Coolidge will consent to
intervene.
In the Pennsylvania strike, the
miners have two grievances against
the Government which they think
the people of the nation should
know about and correct. One is the
grievance of what they call thug
rule" by coal and iron policeman
The other is the grievance of in
functions.
