FINE QUESTION IS
PUT UP T0GOvERN0R
FOR 4 FINAL REPLY

Tallahassee. July 13-(SpeciaL) "A
question OF statewide importance has
been submitted to Governor Cats,
and the governor has, in turn, sub
mited the same question to the at
torney-general for a legal opinion.
The question involved is whether or
not the Florida legislature of 1919 can
legally act upon the prohibition
amendment to our federal constitu-
ton. which was submitted IN the early
part of this year.
The matter has been referred to
Assistant Acknowledgement Hon. C. O..
Andrews. and the matter will be con-
sidered within the next few days, and
the law upon the question given.
The question was asked of Governor
Cats by one of the nominees for the
legislature OF 1919 as TO whether or
not the amendment could, under the
constitution, be acted upon by the
next Legislature; that he and several
candidates for both houses were elect
ed upon a platform pledged to vote to
Salty the amendment in 1919. As
there seems TO be a doubt of decisita
upon that point, theresults of the in
vestigation to be made will be look
ed to with interest Several lawyers
over the state have already expressed
themselves. pro and con, upon the le-
gality of acting upon the amendment.
in view of the fact that section 10 Of
article sixteen of the Florida consti-
tuition provided that mo convention
or legislature OF this state shall act
upon any amendment OF the constitu-
ton OF the United States. proposed
by congress to the several states, un-
less such convention or legislature
shall have been elected after such
amendment Is submitted
All members of the legislature cf
1919 will have been elected since the
amendment was submitted by con-
gress except the sixteen hold-over
Senators.
Can the legislature act upon the
amendment is the question. The Leg
islature Of 1911 refused to act upon an
amendment under the same circum-
stances. but as legislatures, unlike
courts, are not bound by presidents in
performing duties within their dis
erection, their attitude may be differ
ent in the year 1919.

A Long Step Forward.

A board OF mediation and concilia-
labor since 1918. This was a long
step forward 1t settled thousands of
difficulties involving hundreds of
thousands of workmen and millions of
capital, even though its power was
purely advisory
Our entrance into the war forced a
more direct governmental contact
with workmen and employer. The
necessity for this became plain when
the condiments were building. A la
Dor adjustment commission was Great
ed and the camps were built without
friction
The Council OF National Defense in
August. 1917. appointed a labor ad-
justment commission composed of
three representatives of the govern
ment, three of employers and three of
employees. To Il were TO be referred
all disputes about wages and condi-
lions of work in plants with govern
ment contracts.
The board of control for labor stand
ards in army clothing was created by
the war department IN September.
1917. to enforce " g sound industrial
and sanitary conditions In the manu-
facture of army clothing - and to
act so that just conditions prevail
Every contractor was made to agree
to accept the S-hour day, to give equal
pay for equal work to women, to en-
ter into collective bargaining ar
rangements, to employ no child labor.
to pay the standard rate Of wages and
to manufacture no goods on premises
not inspected and approved by the
government. A minimum wage scale
was adopted and the secretary Of war
was made a final arbiter of disputes.
The war department went further.
Tt set a maximum of weights to be
lifted by women. prohibited night
work for them and arranged for rest
periods.
Other departments moved on parat-
lei lines. The shipping board fixed
wages, hours and standards of labor,
and appointed a commission TO adjust
grievances of those loading and IN
loading ships for France.

created by proclamation of President
Wilson April 8, 1918.
One great big purpose moved the
government from the first. No labor
difficulties must be allowed to stop
the war wheels rolling round day and
night to strafe the Hun. Quarreis
must be adjusted, differences settled.
Each side must give and take. Unity
Of action must be attained.
Easy enough to sayi But how put
it into practice? The war, transform
ing the industrial life OF the nation,
has inevitably forced to crisis many
points of disagreement between en-
ployer and employee. Never were
there more angles of divergence be-
tween them. Shifting conditions has
brought new problems and gave old
ones a new turn.
But there was one clear call that
drew together the worker and the
manufactures Each was an Ameri-

The National War Labor Board Is
UNIQUE. It is administrative as well
as judicial. It's function is to adjust
troubles rather than to enforce de-

beings in a human way, takes hold OF
difficulties with both hands so that
the welfare of both employer ana
workman may ensue. The aYoWed
purpose of ex-President Taft ana
Frank p Walsh, who represent the
public and the other ten men as
sociated with them, is TO send the

common sense application of justice
and fair play.
The story of how this board came
into being is one that takes It's root
in pre-war days. incidentally. it is an
inspiration to all who have fought
for better understanding between
labor and capital.
Laws have for years been written
on the statute books to mediate in
dustrial disputes. There was. for in
stance. the Erdman act Of 1898, SUI
perseded by the Newlands act of 1913
But these dealt only with the adjust

lands act failed to meet the need in
the great railroad difficulty of 1915
when a total tieup was imminent. and
