STRIKE COURT
0UTOFLABOR
PROJECT
Industrial Commission Acts
On Protests Against
Feature of Its Plan.

Because of the objections of
labor leaders and big business
men, the Industrial Commission
has decided to eliminate the
strike court from its tentative
plan for a code to establish per-
mament industrial peace. it was
announced last hight
When the commission finally lays
before President Wilson it's plan
for calming unrest it will be found
to have been considerably amended.
IL was stated.
Formation of shop unions is fav-
ored by the eomnAission. rs they
would not conflict with the big
unions and would avert many
strikes, in opinion of the SOM
missioners.
The original plan of the commits
sion provided for establishment OF
industrial courts throughout the
country, made up Of representatives
of labor. capital and the public. La
Dor objected because it meant COM
pulsory arbitration.
Hear Famous Witnesses.
Last week witnesses before the
commission included w. H. Taft.
Samuel Gompers. Glenn Plumb. Pres
ident Sheppard. of the Brotherhood
of Railroad Conductors. and Daniel
willard, of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad.
Since it resumed work on January
IL the commission has been spending
all of its time in listening to wit
nesses from all over the country. II
has heard from the foremost labor
leaders, from large employers and
the heads of employers organizations.
and from men who have been termed
representatives df the public at large.
Approximately 100 letters have been
sent out to prominent men and
women throughout the country in
viting criticism of the original plan
and suggestions. and answers have
been received in almost every in
stance.
The conferees have heard from rep
resentatives OF widely divergent in
dustries and from the chiefs of some
of the railroad brothcrhoods.
kenyon Plan In Favor.
Backers of the resolution of Senator
Kenyon, creating national indus
trial congress. were organizing yes
terday in the Senate with the expec-
tation of wagins vigorous offensive
in favor of it as soon as Kenyon re-
turns to lead the drive.
Kenyon is at present absent with
the Congressional committee investi-
eating conditions in the Virgin Is
lands.
Kenyon's plan is to order the
President to call a national indus
trial congress to consist of $50 en-
ployers and $50 labor dele gates,
each with one vote. Fifty represen-
tatives of the public would be add
ed, including members of the In
dustrial Commission now in session
The congress would be directed
to draft an Industrial code which
would form. the basis of Industrial
peace. An Industrial court. like the
War Labor Board, would also be set
up. before which labor troubles
could be aired. recommendations of
Congress would be laid before the
House and Senate with the hope of
getting them enacted into law.

SENATESPLITS
ON ARMYBI
Bitter Fight Looming Over
Compulsory Military
Training.

Rumblings OF the storm shat is ex-
pected over the question OF compui-
sorry military training were heard in
the Senate yesterday.
With the declaration that the pro-
posed universal training plan in the
pending army reorganization bill Is
"militarism run mad" and may be
subversive Of our democratic institu-
tions." Senator Mcclellan. of Tennes-
see. Democrat. filed a minority re-
port from the Senate Military Affairs
Committee. attacking the measure
| from every angle.
Higher taxes will be inevitable. the
bilrs opponents declare.
Senator Sheppard. OF Texas. Demo-
crat. also signed the report, and Nc
KeIlar said later that two Republi-
cans-Capper. of Kansas. and Len
root, Of Wisconsin-did not approve II.
"If the plan is approved, taxes will
have to be raised" Senator Mckellar
declared.
Senator wadsworth. chairman Of
the committee. took issue with Nc
Kellar and placed the annual cost at
$50 600 a year. Opponents Of the
measure. however. plan TO take ad-
vantage Of the cry for economy and
will be backed by House leaders in
this respect. The exact cost as 1g-
ured by McKellar would be H.3li,l4Sooo
a year.
Military Training Expensive.
The bill provides for universal
military training at an enormous eN-
pense to taxpayers, when We have at
least 100000 young men in the coun-
try already well trained and fcsdv
for any emergency for many years
to COME" the Mc<ellar report stated.
Whatever the merits of connpul-
sorry universal military training. there
Y is no necessity for putting Il into
force now when the nation is labor
ing under such a load Of debt. Even
the advocates Of the system ought not
to insist upon il now. They ought
to be willing to postpone IL for few
years.
The passage OF this bill carry
ing the appropriations which must
come. will be to institute in this
country a militarism Of the first
order. Indeed il will be militarism
run mad. a militarism OF the ultra
German type. a militarism never
dreamed of by our forefathers. a mill
itarism that is wholly unnecessary.
| a militarisIn that may he u Dversive
of our Democratic Institutions. a
militarism that cannot be defended,
a militarism that is wholly unjusti-
/ fable when We look at our history
and at our future.
.Incredible- 10 Mcclellan
"It is incredible to me that the
Senate can think of passing such a
| bill at such a time"
