LABOR CAN LEARN FROM KANSAS.

I Henry Allen has been reelected
governor Of Kansas by big majori-
ty. And thereby hangs a tale which
union labor in the country could
study with profit.
When the coal strike came on in
Kansas last year Allen acted with
promptness and decision. He took
control Of the Kansas mines and
called for volunteers to mine coal. He
succeeded in producing some coal. He
demonstrated that the people OF the
state could II the necessity arose take
care Of themselves in any emergen-
cy. The strike ended and the miners
went back to work. But Allen didn't
stop at that point. He called special
session of the state assembly. He
asked the assemblymen to create an
industrial court for the express pur-
pose Of settling differences between
capital and labor. The legislature
responded promptly. It created such
a court and the supreme court Of the
state promptly sustained the legali-
ty Of the action in I test case.
Tho court has been In operation
for several months. It has rendered

while going at breakneck speed.
The audience, of course, at a sight
SO novel and comical, went nearly
mad with delight. 1t was an occasion
never forgotten by those present. the
beginning OF a boom for the whole
show that made its owners rich men,
for from that day the crowds which
came were bigger than ever before.
1t was not long before 1t was nee
essary to introduce three big rings
in order that the vast audiences
might be accommodated.
Billy Whiskers certainly had no
idea what the result would be when
he, as he afterward expressed It, let
loose that box OF monkeys. Even
when they forced him to go into the
ring, calling him their leader. his
only thought was to find some way to
shake the whole caboodle Of them and
make his escape.
But he no sooner perceived the

FARMERS CHEER UP.

out Of production. The dream OF
So wheat and 10 cent cotton IL q
dream that has been spent and those
who agitate schemes for their MAIN
tenance are merely blowing at wind
mills for it can't be done. Prices are
down below fair reconstructed level
because temporarily we have raised
SO much OF everything. There was a
big carry over from last year and
an abundance in this years crop al
most everywhere on earth. Europe
is hungry enough to use all Of our
American surplus but Europe is too
poor to buy what 1t really needs.
Temporarily while everybody's bin
Is full and every farmer 10 seeking q
market there Is too much depression
to prices. There il almost no sale
for wool because the textile mills are
standing idle or nearly 50 waiting for
orders on tho one hand and read
justing their wage scales on the
other. There is no market for hides
because the. same conditions exist In
the shoe factories that dominate the
textile industry.
Along toward spring the clothing
mills will have to resume and like
wise the shoe factories for the people
must wear shoes and clothes and
there are just as many people as
there ever were.
The grains that 20 into food and
the production of food animals are
depressed below q fair level now be-
cause there, II an unprecedented
abundance Of grain on hand ana
times has not yet elapsed in which to
get the cattle and sheep feeders In

hold his grain or who can feed it
need not fear having to sell on the
present market. Cheer up, every

decisions in several cases. One case
is worthy OF specific mention. For
years tho mine owners had when they
advanced pay to miners charged
them interest on the loan-and the
interest rats was high. This indus
trial court promptly abolished this
practice. In one instance It decided q
case In favor Of the miners in forty
eight hours which walking delegates
and paid at,itators had been trying
for years to remedy.
Honest laborers have found q
friend In this court. They have found
that 1t is = just and fair court.
They have found that 1t Is an in
finitely better instrument for secur-
ing the adjustment Of grievances
than the strike. In this election thou
sands Of lab',ring mon who belong to
unions supported Allen because they
approve this method Of settling dis
putes and they recognized in the
governor . real friend Of labor and
not an enemy.
The radical element In labor fought
Allen in Its usual way. It painted him
as an enemy OF labor and a hireling
Of capital. IL importuned the people
to defeat him on this ground. IN
stead OF defeating Allen the people
approved his work and sustained
him with re-slsction.
The same kind Of an effort was
made to defeat Senator Cummins in
Iowa. CumInins stood for the same
principle applied to the settlement Of
disputes between labor and capital
engaged In the transportation BUSH
ness.
These elections are Significant. We
have los million people in this coun-
try. These people are interdependent.
They will not be unfair to any class
OF workers. TN the other hand they
will not permit any class OF workers
to be unfair to them. When lexisla-
tors or representatives Of the people
, stand for 1ustice In Industrial dis
putes the people will sustain them.
When walking delegates and paid
professional labor leaders 20 out and
seek the defeat OF men who stand
four square for principles OF fairness
and square dealing they will not be
sustained by the people. Cummins in
iowa and Allen in Kansas are among
the best friends Of union labor IN
America. Radical labor leaders will
deny the correctness Of this state
ment. Conservative and reasonable
laboring men know that it Is true. AS
the years go by the number Of people
who approve the principles these
men have commended for in our in
dustrial life will increase by leaps
| and bounds. We must IL we are to
endure and prosper as republic,
have government Of all the people
for all the people and not govern
ment OF classes for classes.
