WALKER MOVES ON.
Man Who Sought Mr.. Johnson's Down.
fall Sent to Texas.

H. w. Walker, the Kansas Organ
Ter Tor the American Federation Of
Labor, who proved to be an agitator
as well as an organizer, has been sent
to Texas by order of President Com
pers of the American Federation of
Labor, and j. D. Pierce, formerly of
Wisconsin, arrived in Kansas this
week to take Walkers place. Mr..
Flerce is at present in Wichita. Wal
ker will leave some time during the
week for his new field of labor in
Texas.
Mr.. Walker has cut pretty wide
swath in labor circles during his brief
soJourn in this state. He started in
with the avowed intention of wiping
the present officers of the state society
or labor and industry off the map. This
is the society of which w. L. A. John
son is the secretary and active head,
and 1t is supported by the state to the
extent of $4,000 year. 1t collects
labor statistics, inspects factories, and
sees to 1t that labor laws are enforced.
But for some reason. Mr.. Walker
conceived a violent prejudice against
the organization, and especially
against W. L. A. Johnson. probably
because Mr.. johnson held that he
could not, under the laws Of the state,
use the state society of labor to pro-
mote unionism in labor circles as
necessary. The American Federation
decided that it needed more active
friendship in Kansas than the state
society Of labor and industry could
give, and it sent Walker here to or
ganize a state federation of labor.
This Walker did, and from the start
he made active war On johnson,
though he seemed to lack the cour-
age at times to make his fight in the
open. He furnished the newspapers
with interviews and news matter at
lacking johnson, and then denied
having given these interviews
This system, pursued vigorously.
with the restless activity of which
Walker is undoubtedly possessed
seemed at one time to fairly take the
union labor movement of kansas off
its feet. and Walker boosted that he
had johnson down and out. Gradual
ly. however, Walkers power waned.
and representations made to Presi-
dent Gompers by the labor leaders of
Kansas who live here and know Kan
sas conditions, led to the transfer of
Walker to other fields
1t is understood that Mr. Pierce has
been sent here to find out what was
the trouble between Walker and John
son, and report the exact labor condi-
lions OF Kansas to President Compers
