KILLS KANSAS LAW.
Supreme Court Holds Coercion Stat
ute Unconstitutional.


Misunderstanding may re-
quire employees to renounce union af-
filiations as condition of employ
ment, the supreme court of the United
States held Tuesday. Justice Hughes
and Holmes presented a dissenting
opinion, in which Justice Day joined.
The decision was made in suit over
the so-called Kansas coercion statute,
which it holds unconstitutional, and
according to Justice Day, laws on like
lines in California, Colorado, Connec-
ticut, Indiana, Massachusetts,, Mime.
sofa, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Penn
sylvania and Wisconsin, and in Porto
Rico, are invalidated with the Kansas

Under the Kansas statute it was un.
lawful for any individual or corpora
tion to coerce or influence any person
to enter into an agreement not to join
or remain a member of labor organ
ization as a condition of securing or
continuing employment.

Fix Minimum WAGE.

New York; believe trade COM
mission should be appointed to fix min
imum wages for the different localities
and the different industries" declared
Louis ID. Brandies of Boston, in an adj
dress on minimum wage Legislation at
recent luncheon given by the City
club. THE minimum wages will not
be the maximum wage as some unions
claim" said Mr.. Brandies.
Our idea Is not to fix a wage that
will merely give the worker living
1t will be an incentive to make the
worker improve his condition and get
still better wages. The change must
be gradual to be wise"
