VANITY IS CAUSE?
New Explanation of Industrial
Court Row.
Judge Reed Charges Wark and
Higgins With Jealousy.

Personal vanity of his colleagues is
the basis of the present row in the
industrial court. according to Judge
Clyde NJ. Reed. Vanity and Jealousy
is given by Reed as a cause for the
trouble which has recently disturbed
court activity. Neither Judges Wark
Her Huggihs would comment on the
statement of Judge Reed further than
TO endorse his sentiments that per-
sonal vanities should not restrict work
OF the oourt-thus handing back a
full share of responsibility in his
charge
The statement of Reed followed is
Issuance of an order by Judges Hug
gins and Wark to the effect, that all
expense accounts should be approved
by the presiding Judge. This action
was interpreted by a Kansas City
newspaper as seeking to restrict Judge
Reeds usefulness. Statements by
friends Of Judges Higgins and Wark
however. are to the effect that the
order followed a severe wedding out
of Judge Reeds wire service charges
for kilograms and telephone messag es
to Kansas politicians.
Reed Draws on Aliens Funds.
Recently Judge Reed went to WASH
ington to attend a car shortage con-
ference. He is said to have made the
trip at the request of the governor
and his expenses were paid from the
governors contingent fund. num-
Der of Judge Reeds expenses for tele-
grams and telephone messages to per-
sons active in state politics are also
said to have been paid from the gov
ernor's fund.
Before leaving for Colorado. Judge
Reed was asked for a statement re-
garding the expense account order by
his colleagues. He made this state
ment.
"The court of industrial relations
has a wonderful opportunity for seFv-
ice. It would>be an incredible misfor-
tune II the personal vanity of-any of
its members should restrict in any way
its usefulness. I beg to be excused
from making any statement upon the
subject"
Aside from endorsing the statement
and asserting that they hoped every
one would work in keeping with the
sentiment, Higgins and Wark declined
to talk. They refused to go into the
details of the row over expense mat
tiers or their refusal to confirm the
appointment of Charles Holbroek at
the request Of Judge Reed who was
quoted as stating the appointment was
political responsibility of Governor
Allen.
During the last few DAYS the court
breach became wider when a large
wire service claim was rejected when
presented for payment. It was re-
ported that a number ofsmessages to
