 The legislature convened and passed law creating Industrial Relations court which operation func toning.
 This court is interesting because proceeds upon diff erent principle than other which have been establish ed for such purpose.
 In Australia Canada the United States attempts at public control of industrial disputes have begun with ciaon and mediation and ended with arbitration which might might not be compulsory.
 For instance the arbitration War Board which ad- udicated the Bridgeport disputes compulsory effect though not in form But the Kansas experiment caon behind abandon the principle of arbration and court of justice, representing only the government.
 The members of the court not chosen poers to represent abor they the and only the government There three They like any other court of the government
 Labor objects to this court that the employers unduly represented in the If this will its work dependent upon what does not do labor will learn to exercise it's voting until due representation in the government.
 At this time it is doubtful if such be set up in most of the states Kansas is state indus trial population is small However the experiment worth watching The time must when the great processes of society will not be subject to suspension injury the whole social structure while two parties quarrel tie their difference in private combat
 Governor Allen that in Kansas the thrvthree months ending Jan 199 36 strikes had cost the men nearly S3OO0OO0 in gained direct strike vanages, only $778.84.
 The strike is undenabIy weapon by which labor has won much ground but at terrible ought to be possible to obtaln justice by more direct and less costly method
