on Convention Situation.
G. o. p. Must Establish Impar-
tial Industrial Tribunal.
DEMOCRATS TO SOLICIT UNIONS
Nominate McAdoo and Fish for
the Labor Votes.
Allen Says Gompers Can Answer
Him Any Time.
tBy State Journal Representativc.)


New York. May s1.-Governor
Allen said to representative of The
State Journal today
Il believe the Republican national
convention will declare for the estab-
lishment of impartial Industrial tri-
bunais somewhat on the lines of the
Kansas Industrial court in the inter-
est OF the people as a whole against
the waste and manner of Industrial
warfare. If the platform does NOT
contain such a plan 1 expect that the
matter will be brought up on the floor
of the convention.
Il believe that unless the Repuhu-
can party takes a forward step in the
matter of adjusting the relations be-
Iween organized labor and capital
defeat.
The last Republican state conven-
ton in New York state passed a reso-
luton framed by Ex-senator Root
calling for an impartial tribunal for
the settlement of strikes. 1t will not
do for the Republicans to try to make
bargain with the labor orga MIA
tons. II they do they will ALLEVIATE
the great reservoir OF Republican
voters Bargains of that kind never
have paid the Republicans
Democrats After Unions.
Il expect that the Democrats will
nominate McAdoo and Fish for the or
ganized labor vote. If the Republi-
cans declare for an impartial indus
trial tribunal the Democrats will de-
clare against it, SO as to get the labor
votes: l am speaking now Of organ
lied labor
The Republicans will get about 20
per cent of the organized labor vote
anyway, and the bulk of 1t will go to
| the Democratic party on account M
previous affiliation.
II do not look for much opposition
to, such a plank. I believe that the
great majority of the people will in
sist that some party shall declare for
the rights of the great majority I
cannot conceive of a continuation of
the present very needful conditions
Today in Washington.
Governor Allen is to speak today be-
fore the senate committee on labor in
Washington on the request of Senator

Gompcrs May Answer.
Governor Allen said that Samuel
Gompers could now or. any any time
answer his leading question. which he
said was the crux of the so-called la
Dor situation, namely, is the public en-
titled to protection against danger and
damage from labor strikes?
IF Gompers had answered that the
public was not entitled TO protection
he knew perfectly we'll that the Amer
lean people as a whole would not sup
port him." Allen said. IF he said the
public was entitled to protection, he
iwould justify the state OF Kansas in
the 1esta blishment of an industrial tri-
bunal for the square deal between cap
ital and labor and his friends in or
ganized labor would not support him" :"
