Realizing the strong sentiment in favor of the measure, before the bill was sent up for discussion the labor leaders gave up the fight and were no longer seen in the state house lobbies. On the other hand, many laboring men of the more conservative type nave declared they see fair play in the bill and are for it.

War Department
 Would Keep String
 On German Liners

Washington, Feb. 7.-The war de- partment's attitude toward the sale of former German passenger liners used as transports during and after the war is that they should be oper- ated under the American flag and that their purchasers should agree to re-deliver them to the government in the event or a raulonal emergen- cy.
 This was explained to the senate commerce committee today by Brig. General Hines, chief of the army transport service, who said the army had millions of dollars worth of equipment in storage for use in re- fitting them as transports should the need ever arise.
 Bids on most of these vessels were opened recently by the ship Png Pseg 1e3gd SesdreS but war dss partment protest against their out right sale. The matter is under stood to have been referred to Pres ident Wilson for final decision.
 General Hines told the committee that 12 of the 19 liners taken over by the war department had been re- turned to the board and that the oth- CTS would be released as rapidly as as new army transports now building at Hog Island could be delivered. Some of the former German liners, he added, will be required to take American and Czecho Slovak troops out of Siberia.

INDUSTRIAL COURT
 OF KANSAS IS ONE
 WITH MANY 'TEETH'
Provisions are Designed to Make Strikes Virtually
 Impossible

Topeka, Kans., Feb. 7.-The state industrial relations court establish ed by the legislature in special ses- sion last month, has we'll defined powers to put an end to strikes in essential industries in Kansas. State officials declare that Kansas is the first state in the nation to enact q law providing for the elimination of such strikes as would affect public interest. The new court is given broad powers and sufficient "teeth'' were placed in the law, it is claim ed, to put industrial agitators out of business in Kansas.
 Aroused by the industrial crisis that came to head in the coal strike, Gov. Fl. J. Allen called spe- cial session of the legislature in session on January to enact some law which would make a repetition of such an event impossible. The plan for the establishment of a court of three members to which in- dustrial controversies in essential in- dustries must be referred was en- bodied in bill which was placed before the legislature. The final vote on the measure, which in it's final draft differed but slightly from the original bill, was 95 to in the house and 30 to 4 in the senate.
 The special session of three weeks was one of the most spectacular in the history of the state. Both la Dor unions and employers marshalled their forces here to defeat the bill. A full week was devoted to speeches before a joint session of the two houses by orators representing labor unions, employers and the public. Frank P. Walsh, former chairman of the federal industrial relations com- mission, talked a full day, denounc- ing the proposed law in the most vigorous language. He represented labor, as did several other speakers lawyers and union officials. The public's champion was w. L. Hug gins, a member of the state public utilities commission. He confined

 Proposed Arbitration.
 Therefore, as mode for pre- serving peace," calculated to "excite no reasonable alarm," MT. Jay pro- posed that in the next treaty be- tween the United States and France there be inserted an article in which it would be agreed that in case of controversy as to the meaning of any stipulation in the treaty or iii
 respect to any other subject which could not be settled by negotiation neither party shall resort to hos tilities against the other, but the matter in dispute shall, by a special convention be submitted to the arbi-
 trament of one or more friendly Powers"
 "A mere recommendation to re- sort to arbitration, such as is con- tained in the peaceful settlement convention of The Hague conference would not have satisfied this prac- tical reformer," says Dr. Scott, "who was of the opinion that there is too much reason to fear that it will oft en be unheeded by the parties to a controversy after their feelings have become irritated and their passions inflamed. Something more than a recommendation is wanted to pre- vent national dispute from termi- mating in national conflict.
 And he rightly insisted upon a definite obligation, saying, No plan will be effectual in suppressing war that does not in time of peace and goodwill anticipate future differ ences, and provide for their accom- modation.' Therefore, the plan which he proposed was of this char acter, of which he felt justified in saying that fits practicability arises from its extreme simplicity"
 Incentive to Other Treaties
 Jay believed that each treaty which might be made containing the article in regard to arbi- tration of disputes between nations would be an incentive to further treaties, so that "before long some minor states would commence the and the example would be followed by others," justifying the hope and the belief that Gin time these treaties would be merged in more extensive alliances, and greater number of umpires would be 
 Indeed, says Dr. Scott, it was not .the vain hope of idle credulity that at last union might be formed of every Christian nation for guaran- teeing the peace of Christendom, by tribunal for the ad- iustment of national differences, and by preventing all forcible resist ance to it's decrees." Jay did not it necessary in advocating the first step to discuss the charac- ter and powers with which such tribunal should be invested, holding that "whenever it shall be seriously desired, but little difficulty will be in placing it on stable and satisfactory basis"
 "And his conclusion is as true now as them adds the editor of the lit tie volume, "for Mir. Jay, not mere ly an active member of the American Peace Society and it's president for a decade, but lawyer by training and judge by profession, knew whereof he spoke: That such court formed by congress of nations, in obedl- ence to the general wish, would, next to Christianity, be the richest gift ever bestowed by heaven upon a sui fering world, will scarcely be ques- toned by any who have patiently and candidly investigated the sub ject."

Fight on Liquor is
 On in Canada

Regina, Sask., Feb. 7.-The first move to effect the prohibition set back which became effective Jan. |, when war restrictions were lifted by the Dominion government, has been taken by the Saskatchewan Social Service Council. Members of the provincial legislature are. being urged to submit to referendum the question of prohibiting the importa- ton of wines and whiskey.
 Present provincial laws prohibit the manufacture and sale of liquor within the province. The federal war order, which was lifted, prohib- tied importation.
 It has been declared that importa- tions since January have been much smaller than expected. Duties and taxes are held responsible and it is claimed that it is less expens- i've to purchase prescriptions and have them filled at druggists rates.

Peace Body Will Revive Jays Views
 Upon Arbitration

x Washington, Feb. 7.--In the belief that the arguments presented nearly 80 years ago by William Jay, son of the famous John Jay, in favor of settlement of international disputes by arbitration, are of timely interest and importance, the Carnegie E. dowment for International Peace has republished pamphlet issued by Jay in 1842, entitled "War and Peace; the Evils of the First and a Plan for Preserving the Last" Tho pres cnt volume has an introduction by James Brown Scott, secretary of the Carnegie Endowment, in which he says: "The little book carried con viction in its day and its day is not yet passed"
 Dr. Scott declares that Jay was a sspractical reformer;' that he did not hope to accomplish the goa of universal peace at one bound, but by gradual degrees, and that his sug- gestions ''inspire confidence in his Judgment as a man of affairs, who looks the facts in the face and who proposes to reach the millinnium by degrees"
 The step in advance toward the ul- timstc goal was to be made "along the lines of least resistcnce, or, as he puts it, in the way least likely to excite alarm and opposition, in- asmuch as in efforts to promote the temporal or spiritual welfare of man. kind we ought to view their condi- ton as what it really is, and not as in our opinion it ought to be. and we should consult ,expediency as far as, 'we can do so, without compromis- ing principle;
