Senate Bill Plan To Substitute
Labor and Industry Board.
Equal Representation for Both
Employer and EmplOye.
COMMISSIONERS So, YEAR
Investigate Working COndi-
tiOns, Hours and Wages.
Would Also Create a New State
Welfare Plan.
COMMISSIONERS $1,000 YEAR

Plans to abolish the present state
bureau of labor were outlined in the
house today in bill by Gilman of
Leavenworth. The old board is to give
way TO a new department to be known
as the state board of labor and indus
try, composed of three members ap-
pointed by the governor within thirty
days after the law becomes effective.
Not only does the Gilman bill call for
abolition of the present labor depart
ment. but it wipes out the present
state welfafe commission and provides
for appointment of a welfare commits
sioner.
> Gilman's bill would provide repre-
sentation both for the labor interests,
as well as those of the employer. Nu-
merous provisions are made for ap-
pointment of inspectors. Each of the
commissioners would receive $4,000 a
year and actual expenses. A welfare
commissioner would be named at a
salary of $500, as would also state
mine inspector. Deputy mine and fac
tory inspectors would be named at
800 a year each and an employment
agent would be named at a salary of
$1,000 a year. Three stenographers
would be allowed the department

$1,000 year.

Under the Gilman bill the employer
would be given equal representation
with the empIoye. Passage of the bill
would entirely wipe out the present
labor department and would establish
the work on the basis of equality for
the man who signs the pay checks and
the man and woman who do the work.
The board would name the various IN
spectors and deputies as we'll as the
state welfare commissioner. Each of
the board members would serve two
year terms.

ago some of the big administration
measures were out of the way. AS yet
none of the proposed constitutional
provisions have passed the two houses.
1t is probable that a field day will be
set for the hearing of constitutional
measures and the bars let down for
the house and senate orators. Many
members are firm in the conviction
that three amendments will be SUBJ
mitted this winter The state high
way building provision will unques-
tionably be one of the three A modi-
fed constitutional convention provi-
sion or the farm tenantry proposition
will doubtless be another. There is
also demand for a provision enab-
ling the submitting of at least six
amendments instead of three under
the present constitution. Friends of
the three-fourths jury verdict will
also night for submission of that ques-
t1on. Governor Allen wants the con-
stitutional convention question. farm
tenantry and highway construction
submitted.
Appropriations on Way.
One of the big fights of the session
possibly two important fights-are
yet to be disposed of. One concerns
appropriations. There is little eues-
ton but that the appropriation bills
will in many instances go to confer
ence committees for settlement. Both
the house and senate ways and means
committees are originating bills for all
institutions and departments.
Several salary bills may appear
within the next week. One will come
from the ways and means committee
of the house. Another may come from
the financial committee of the senate.
The fees and salaries committee is
also preparing a bill which it will sup
ports and will ask adopted. There is
beautiful chance that this bill will
be tied up in conference and may de-
lay final adjournment

tie Guaranty & Surety company the
amount of $21, 900 and with the cases
now in process of settlement he ex-
poets to collect about $4,000 more.
1t was claimed and proven, Wasson
says, that Brooks had been overpaid in
sewer contract in the old council
form OF government.
Made City Interest Jump.
The city has received in interest on
the daily bank balances $4,000; and
the city now is receiving so per cent
more interest on the daily bank bal
ances than was paid prior to the time
when Wasson took charge of the city's
FINANCES.
The above amounts in the aggregate
and for which no levy was made on
the people foots up a grand total of
$S6,963.79. to say nothing of the
amount in process of settlement to-
gether with the amount now due from
the Edison company which will be
about S25,00O more.
Wasson is now building up a sink
ing fund to pay off the bonded in
debtedness of the city. which now
amounts to s496,000 Getty proper),

and according to his plan the city will
pay off all of its debts. including city
proper, sewer, paving and water
bonds by 1882, that year being the
date when the last bond falls due.
Docs Cash Business Only.
He strictly adheres to the principle
that nothing is bought until there is
money in the treasury to pay for the
same and in this way. the budget is
kept intact and the credit of the city
stands at 100 per cent plus.
Wasson's familiarity with every de-
tail of his department can be attested
to by newspaper men and others who
have called at his office to make in
i,-i4 = he
tell any one the amount of money paid
out and received that day, the amount
of money spent by each commissioner

as have appeared in the present ses-
sion to date. The house at the end of
the fifth week in 1917 had offered
SIS bills, while 6S5 had been pre-
sented in the senate. Records at that
time also showed the passag ge of thirty
eight Iaws-50 per cent more than in
the present session.
Much Oratory This Week
Much oratory and many new bills
have been the features of the week
Just ending. The senate is out far
ahead of the house. There are but
nine house bills on the senate calendar
under general orders today. Fifteen
senate bills are on the house calendar.
The senate has passed ten house bills
and the house has passed fifteen SEN
ate bills. House committees slaugh-
tered three senate bills, while two
were killed on the floor.
That is a rather even record as to
figures. But the house is running
full time six days a week. The senate
is enjoying week-epds at home and
to the mill.
Planning To Go Home.
Already the legislature is planning
to go home-for keeps. Three more
weeks is the judgment of Speaker
Lambertson. Some of the senate lead
ers believe the session will last four
weeks. But the big crop of new laws
is yet TO be harvested. The com mittee
records are to be cleaned up and the
house and senate must wade thru the
calendars which are already heavy
with pending legislation.
Next week the introduction of bills
will cease. The house wanted to stop
Introduction Monday. The senate
amended the resolution to read Thurs
day. Immediately following the in
PRODUCTION of bills. Speaker Lambert
son will name e revision committee for
the house. Lieutenant Governor
Huffman, as president of the senate
will probably take similar action in
the upper house.
No Administration Bills.
Not one administration bill has beer
passed. No special orders are facing
the two houses. No date for hearing
has been set for the big bi1ls-th:s
year comparatively few-and some OF
the big fights of the winter must be
disposed of before adjournme
None of the big appropriation bills
are disposed of. All of these bills
however, will probably be on the cal

Provisions Are Broad.
Provisions of the Gilman bill are
broad and thoro in their scope. All
manner CT Investigations as to work
ing conditions. hours. wages, safety
appliances and general industrial con-
ditionS would come under the attention
of the board. Provision is made for
the posting and enforcement of regu-
lations as to sanitary and health con-
ditions in factories, shops and mercan-
tile establishments. The work of the
various departments would be distrib-
uted in manner similar to the work
already handled by the state bureau
of labor. The argument behind the
Gilman bill, however. is in the fact
that representation would be afforded
both the employer and the employe.
Hearings may be held by the board
or by the welfare commissioner. Evil
dence as to working conditions might
be taken and orders might be issued
and enforced in all cases affecting gen.
eral labor and employment conditions
in the state.
Would Hold Investigation.
Passage of the bill would immedi-
>ately abolish the present labor de-
partment. 1t would vest in the new
board power to require reports and
records from all mercantile, manufac-
turing and industrial concerns in the
state, as well as to investigate cond1-
tions in the mining districts and other
mineral producing sections in Kansas
Hearings might be held by any two
membe of the board and their rules
and decisions would be final except
where set aside by court review. The
board would have the power to sue
and be sued and the attorney, general
would be directed to represent the
board IN all actions to which the board
was a party. In a general way the
board of labor and industry would be
given powers similar to those con-
ferred on the public utilities commits
sion in handling public service cor
poration cases.
