VIOLATED KANSAS LABOR LAW
Two Hundred Employers Face Arrest
for Discharging Men Because
of Union Affiliations.

Topeka, July 10-More than two
hundred employers of labor in Kansas
are to be arrested in few days for
compelling employees to give up their
labor union affiliations under penalty
of discharge.
The Kansas supreme court Satur-
day ruled that an employer had no
right to coerce an employee into CIV
ing up his union membership. Com
plants. including many against street
railways and railroad companies, have
been hanging fire while the test case
was pending in the supreme court.
The labor unions and the state labor
department have started preparing
the formal complaints to be filed in
the courts for the arrest of all en-
ployers who coerced employees.
J. Bryan of Kansas City, president
of the Leather Workers Union; Owen
Doyle, state labor commissioner, and
S. A. Bramblette. president of the Kan,
sas Federation of Labor, are arrang-
ing the details of the campaign
against the employers and as fast as
the papers can be made out they will
be taken to the proper courts and or
ders for the arrest and prosecution
of the men secured.
The penalty for coercing employees
in Kansas is fine or Jail sentence or
both.

IN PARLIAMENTARY ROW
Consideration of Clayton Contempt
Bill Interrupted by Discussion
Over "Gag" Rule.

Washington, July 10.-When the
house attempted to resume considera-
ton of the Clayton contempt bill it
found itself in parliamentary snarl.
The situation arose because Speak
er Clark had Announced the day be-
fore that quorum was present and
had voted to adopt the gag" rule,
making consideration of the measure
possible. The tally clerk had erred in
totalling his figures, however, and a
quorum had not been present, thus
vitiating the action of the house.
The minority leader, Mr.. Mann, and
ex-Speaker Cannon led in the renewal
Of the fight against the gag rule.
After skirmish the speaker, finally
declared nearly half of the preceding
days work illegal and vacated it. The
house then readopted the rule.

ment Case.

Washington, July 10.-Counsel for
Judge Robert w. Archibald Ct the COM
merce court, against whom articles OF
impeachment have been reported in
the house, issued statement asking
that public opinion in the Archibald
case be suspended until the accused
jurist has had an opportunity to pre-
sent his defense to the senate, which,
sitting as court, will try the charges
against him. Consideration of the
Archibald impeachment resolution in
the house will be resumed on Thurs
day.
The statement made public by his
counsel, the first public reply from
the Judge, and indicating the tenor OF
his defense in the expected trial, in
part is as follows:
Denies Charges.
Judge Archbald's counsel state that
he emphatically denies that in any of
the transactions referred to in the re-
port of the judiciary committee, or
which the committee has submitted to
the house, he used or attempted to
use his influence as a judge improp-
erly
Conscious of his own integrity, it
never occurred to him in any of the
transactions referred to that others
might suspect that he was acting 9TH
erwise than uprightly.

him were presented to the president
and the attorney general, he was CIV
en- no notice and had no hearing. In
the proceedings before the house
judiciary committee he was permitted
to cross-eXamine witnesses, but it was
explicitly stated by the chairman that
the proceeding was hearing and not
a trial.
Wants to Tell His Side.
"In the hearings before the commit.
tee the principal charges which had
led the president and the attorney
general to take action were shown to
be unfounded. When the evidence
was closed, what charges the commit
tee might make could not be known to
Judge Archibald or his counsel until
they We're presented to the house.
Judge Archibald therefore will have
no opportunity to present his defense
until summoned to the senate and I'M
til he has a hearing there he asks
that public opinion in his case may
be suspended
The statement took up in detail the
principal charges upon which the
judiciary committee hearings were
held.

intention that the whole subject. should

At the same time it was declared
Secretary Irwin Shepard, who made
the charges, was not guilty of any

sustain his charges. He asserted that
before the Boston convention the or
