OHIO LEGISLATURE
 CAN'T SETTLE STRIKE
Governor Harmon Declares State
 Laws Prevent II.

Governor Judson Harmon of Ohio has announced the discovery that the state constitution makes it impossible. as Mayor Marshall of Columbus and attorneys for the striking car men de- mand. that the legislature be called in special session to enact a compulsory arbitration law. The constitution pro- vides for the establishment of boards of conciliatson, but stipulates that power to enforce their findings is not given except when the parties at issue agree to be bound by the decision. When the state board of arbitration conducted a hearing of the troubles which brought on the present strike the union agreed in advance to accept the verdict, but the company refused. Mayor Marshall sent a letter to the Columbus chamber of commerce call ing upon 1t to bring about arbitration of the strike. A petition was widely circulated urging Governor Harmon to remove Mayor Marshall on grounds of tnefficiency, but the petition was not sent to the governor.

meeting was full of interest. Enthu- siasm and harmony featured the meet ing. Before the session adjourned MT. Lewis made a speech of acceptance.
 MT. Lewis had the distinction of be- ing the choice of both the regular" and progressive wings of the party, and it was generally admitted that he was probably the only Republican leader in the state who could success fully heal the wounds of the factions. He was nominated by a united party, and the "progressives" cheered for him as loudly as the regulars"
 Complimentary votes were given Senate President Joseph s. Frelinghuy- sen of Somerset county, Assemblyman William P. Martin, progressive" lead CT of Essex, and Prosecutor Pierre P. Garven of Hudson, who came into the public eye some time ago by his cru sade against the beef packers.
 The platform adopted was proclaim ed satisfactory by both the ''progres- sives" and regulars" It contains some of the reform blanks suggested by the "New Idea" wing and meets the demands of this faction more than halfway. 1t is considered strong and conservative, and the leaders declared that 1t would appeal to the voters. A feature is the giving of the rate mak- ing power to the public utilities com mission.
 Attorney General Edmund Wilson was the unanimous choice for perma- nent chairman. Senator Edmund w. Wakelee of Bergen county, who was m, ntioned for this honor, declined in favor of MT. Wilson. The selection of the attorney general is considered an indorsement of Governor Forts admin istration, as MT. Wilson is one of the present executives personal friends and advisers as well as member of his official family.
