State Industrial Board Wins
Cracker Factory Strike Victory

Judge Hillyer's connection with the coal
companies was of short duration and OF
such a character that it could not pos
sibly create in his mind any prejudice
against these defendants.
Lawson Case Indicative
1t is held by attorneys that if the SUI
preme court rules the miners have made
a sufficient showing to justify the is
suance of a writ prohibiting Judge
Hillyer from hearing further strike
trials in the Walsenburg cases, the same
court is likely to hold that his alleged
prejudice in behalf of the coal opera
tors might have operated TO preclude the
possibility of Mr.. Lawson receiving a
fair and impartial trial
This is avowedly the hope OF the at
torneys for the mine workers, who have
heard the rumors of the supreme court s
stand in the Hillyer prohibition case.

The visit to Joplin, Mo-, of President

Will Decide Against Hillyer

lack of material at the plant kept many
OF them from work
In event the company insists on the
wage cut, the industrial commissi sion will
order an investigation of its books, and
this may require several months. In
the meantime the old scale prevails.
IL has put up to the industrial COM
mission the problem of eventually rul-

Strikers and their representatives in
sisted Monday that a reduction meant
hunger for many, because the wages are
now so low there is no margin between
their income and outgo.
Commission Assures Protection.
All three members of the industrial
commission. Mclaughlin, Williams and
Lannon, went TO the strikers meeting
hall late Monday afternoon and ex-
planned the operation of the new law
They said the company had violated its
prcrision. in not giving thirty days
notice of proposed wage cut. and the
employees had violated the law in going
on strike without giving similar notice.
However. no penalties would be imposed
as the matter had been settled quickly
and that neither side was oonversant
with the new law.
The strike, however. brought home to
employers and employees the penalties
for violating this law and will have an
effect on future industrial troubles
which the act seeks to alleviate.
The industrial law, which is a twin
measure to the workmen's compensation
act. provides penalty of from SlOo TO
$1,000 a day for violation of the provi-
sion against lockouts being declared by
employers without giving the commits
sion thirty days notice.
fine of from $40 to $50 for each
day is fixed as penalty for the employe
who goes ON strike without the required
notice being given. Any person who in.
cites or encourages strike can be fined
from $50 TO $1,000 or given jail sen
tence not exceeding six months

VIII Stop Prosecutions
This movement to quash some indict
mcuts and to nolle pros Others had
been practically determined upon after
conference between leaders of both polit-
ic1l parties and persons representing
both capital and labor. on the ground
that thru convictions already secured,
law and order had been upheld and that
j, would be far better to temper justice
with mercy than TO proceed in all the
cases and give taint OF persecution to
tie prosecutions
Petitions for the writ of prohibition
were filed in the supreme court June
p by Attorneys Horace y. Hawkins and
4 NJ. Belcher, representing the United
Nine Workers, and in particular in this
case the three defendants, Charles
i ncs. John Burke and h Uyado,
waiting trial before Judge Hillyer.
In asking the disqualification OF Judge

cmploy of the coal operators as attorney

Ii was further set out in the petition
that Judge Hillyer. then attorney, as an
q. -lciate of Jesse c.. Northcutt, chief
counsel for the coal operators and asso-
ciste prosecutor in the La Neta cases,

FROM the operators for appearing and

owners caused to be instituted against

made to the supreme court.

dc the ruling of the supreme court, the
ml e against whom such representa-

tent of denying their truth.
Court Accepts Affidavits-
For the purposes of the case. the SUI

tiors presented in form of affidavits

upon their sufficiency, /. e., whether,
Assuming them to be true, the facts are
such as to overcome the presumption of
the fairness and impartiality of the
Judge.
Bccausc of this practice and this rul-
ing there is nothing in the records of

the strikers attorneys.
