OF course there Is no excuse for
not knowing what is going on and
that is the reason / am calling
special attention to the appearance
of Ruth Page, Adolph Bolm and
his ballet at the Murat Thursday
night.
Miss Page is Of Indianapolis and
she has done much to bring fame
and to increase the good name of
this city in dance circles.
She has played her part in put
ting an Indianapolish girl on the
stage of the Metropolitan Opera.
Kansas City has gone mad" over
Marion Talley and the world knows
that Marion halls from that city.
Miss Page has had no such boost
ing from Indianapolis but she de-
serves it as much as Miss Talley.
The thing to bear in mind is that
Miss Page comes to the Murat
Thursday night in dance recital
with Adolph Bolm and his ballet.
Knowing what Miss Page and this
organization has accomplished in
the leading cities of this country,
am sure that the program to be
given here will be one of the out
standing events of the season.
She deserves a capacity house be-
cause she has reached the heights
in the dance world. indianapolis
is proud of her. but we should make
a fuss over her.
The least we can do is to be
present Thursday night at the
Murat in such numbers that there
will not be a vacant seat.
The program will be as follows:

the coal operators persist in their

for their Golfers.
And what is the American labor
doing to help the miners in their
present struggle? 1t is a shameful
page in the history Of the American
labor movement, the way the Off
Gals of the A. F. of L. and the min
ers' union are conducting the miners
strike. The A. F. of L., speaking
for some 100000 members could
and must be rallied to the support of
the miners in the present tremendous
struggle. The question of relief
should have been organized many
months ago, but due to the indiffer-

foul tactics in order to win, so he has made sure
that there spectators to witness the affair,
or sympathize with the miner.
Therefore he has made sure that his chief second,
the subsidized press is full of pictures with bathing
beauties, divorce cases, columns of news about the
lunatic act at Chicago, but hardly word about this
great struggle, the outcome of which concerns the
very existence of the miners, their wives children
and families AS the fight progresses we notice
that the coal baron is bringing his seconds into play.
He uses gangsters to beat the miner He uses the
courts to evict the miner from his home, and to
serve him with injunctions, to prevent him from
protecting his job by peaceful picketing
He also enists the aid of the courts and police
to frame the striker false charges. He shoots
down the striker with the aid of the militia and
gangsters. He imports scabs with the aid of the
government to break down the morale of the striker
He uses the church to get the miners mind off the
battle, by poisoning his mind with superstition, and
a promise of future paradise
So much for the coal operator. Now let us see
how the miner is faring. The battle is prolonged
and due to the tremendous resources of his oppon-
ent, he is slowly getting weak. Courageously he
endeavors to fight back But the attack is being
conferred on his weakest spot-his stomach. Starva-
ton is beginning to set it, and he finds himself in
a weakened condition. The militant labor press and
his few honest labor leaders are weak themselves
and cannot give the miner much aid. But no, what
is this? John L. Lewis, their president actually
playing into the enemies hands, Not word out of
him for the relief of the miner. Betrayed by their
chief. Despite this treachery and tremendous
odds he faces the miner still continues to fight de-

practically unnoticed. This, ladies and gentlemen,
is America!

Primers union refuse to organize a

miners are forced to leave the mining

THE increase in production Of whea

THE increase in production of wheat
in the winter wheat section, the
steady growth and consolidation of
the financial forces in control has
witnessed side by side the expansion
of the elevators and mills with Kan
sas City as the pivot. Over 100000
barrels of flour increase over last
year has been recorded and reports
say that the winter wheat growers
are putting in bumper crop for the
coming harvest. The production of
Kansas City territory for the year
ending is over 100000 barrels more
then the northern United States CEN
ter and the record output exceeds
that of the north in its best year.
THE competition and struggle Of
the millers of the worlds wheat
is reflected in the long struggle Of
these two group centers in America
and the shift of the center to the south
is battle that has lasted decades
with every economic and financial and
political weapon worthwhile used.
At the start the North with the adj
vantage of water power and trans
portation and the salable spring
wheat against the South's handicaps
in freight rates Turkey wheat with
markets limited contributed to it's
advantages.
DUT with the reorganization Of the
~ quality Of hard winter wheat, the
lobbying and the change of rates to
parity basis enabling equal COMPETE
ton as well as the consolidation Of
the most influential groups Of Kansas
City territory and the agrarian
scissors of the northwest has sharp
ened the struggle and has given the
Kansas City section the advantage.
THE consolidation Of the mills in the
United States and the increase of
the output has gone hand in hand
with the elimination of those con-
sidered drag by the upper groups.
In the Kansas City district in 1910
there were 225 mills compared to 16o
in operation today. In the Minnea-
polls territory in 1910 there were
4s7 and today 26S. The change has
been toward consolidation and elm
nation as well as struggle be-
tween the two mentioned groups with
the objective condition on the scales
in favor of Kansas City.
