BORAH DENOUNCES
MILITARY COURTS
IN WEST VIRGINIA

Sentinel Special Service.
Washington, ID, C.. May 1.-THE
senate listened for an an hour and a
half today TO discussion of the right
of West Virginia's governor to es-
tablish military zone in his state,
to set up martial law there and to
say that prisoners brought before
the military tribunal created by him
SHOULD be tried by II instead of in the
civil courts.
Senator Kern's resolution for an
Investigation of conditions in the
West Virginia coal fields, which
brought forth the argument failed
once more to come to a vote, Mr..
Kern and Senator Goff, the leaders
OF the fight, agreeing that it be laid
aside temporarily that debate on the
question of tariff hearings might be
continued. The resolutions come up
again at the next session.
When consideration of the resolu-
tion was continued Mother" Jones
and number of West Virginia labor
union officials occupied seats in the
senate gallery and followed closely
the argument made by Senator Goff,
who engaged in a spirited clash with
Senator Borah, author of the orig
inal resolution of inquiry into the
West Virginia situation, introduced
al the last session.
The discussion concern the au-
thority Of the governor of West Vir-
ginia to issue an order declaring mar
tial law, which closed the civil courts
and substituted therefor the court
martial. Senator Golf maintained
that this act was upheld by previous
decisions Of the supreme court of the

declared. the governor of the state

deny the right of trial by jury. when
the courts are able to proceed with

sit idly by and see il proceed, we be-
come Mexicanized in 4S hours.
If there is a state of insurrec-
tion," senator Goff replied, 1.-The gov
ernor has the authority to put the
whole state under martial law with
the commander-in-chie to control it
by his own will. That is the law of
war"
But suppose there is no state of
insurrection," Senator Borah replied,
and the governor declares that there
is. Under the contention made here
we could not inquire into it?"
That is a violent presumption:

tion up to this time

LAUNDRY WORKERS STRIKE.

Tacoma, Wash, Mqy IA strike
of the workers in a local laundry is
on. The strike is the result of the
formation of an organization among
the laundry workers and an effort
to secure better conditions. The i'm
mediate cause of the strike, however,
was the discharge of several of the
employees, presumably because of
their recent affiliation with the
union. Many of the other laun-
dries have increased wages, done
probably with the view of preventing
the progress of the organization. The
