by reminding the legislative mem
bers Of the political power of their
organization, secure from intimidat-
ed legislators the same sort of vic
tory In Kansas they forced in
Washington. l have feeling that
these enthusiastic promoters of in
dustrial warfare upon the public un-
der r-estimate the Kansas spirit
The governor produced statistics
to show that from April, 1916, to
December 81, 1918, there had been
864 separate strikes at the industrial
mines In Kansas. He showed how
small had been the victory Of min
ers gained in these strikes by saying
that the record of the operators
jproved that the amount of dollars
and cents gained to the strikers was
$7S4.S4. The total loss to miners In
wages as figured at the scale rate
per day per man on account of these
strikes was 81 1,006, 6,454.41.
/ There have been on an average
eleven strikes month in the field.
most of them called upon the most
trivial grounds. He also pointed
out that the amount of money col
1ected by the miners organization in
that district from the miners during
the past year, with which to carry
on their strikes and other forms Of
industrial warfare, reached the enor-
nous sum of $4,000.
He said: II believe the time has
come, when a tribunal should
be established which shall have the
power to take under Jurisdiction
the offenses committed against So
ciety in the name of Industrial war
fare. There Is no reason why gov
ernment should not have the same
power to protect society against the
ruthless offenses of industrial strife
as it has always had to protect 1t
against recognized crime"
The new Industrial court bill was
introduced and the legislature went
to work on it, II seems probable
that the court will be combined with
the public utilities commission in
some method to meet constitutional
provisions.
Topeka. Jan. An agreement
was reached today in the Kansas
legislature to hold joint session to-
morrow and hear Frank Z. Walsh
and others ON the industrial relations
court bill. 1t will be an open session
,at which representatives of labor will
be questioned by the legislature. In

Topeka, Jan. 6.-With the intro
duction In both houses of the special
session Of the legislature of the in
dustrial relations court bill a bitter
fight is presaged between representa-
tiyes Of union labor. almost entirely
outside the membership of the legis-
lature and supporters of the bill In
the legislature. Frank Walsh. at
torney and prominent labor adherent
is here to conduct the umon-s night
against the bill.
An anti-protiteering bill was in
troduced in the senate. Ii specifics
ten distinct acts which are violations
of law and provides penalties of Jail
sentence up to one year and not ex-
eeeding thousand dollars fine.
The house voted to bring the In
dustrial relations bill before the com
mittee of the whole.
Topeka Jan. Gov. Aliens mes
sage read in person to the Legislature
late yesterday afternoon was Il
straight defiance of the labor union
leaders.
The governor explained that at
the present time those most active In
leading the fight against the bill are
the officials of the four railway
brotherhoods.
"These gentlemen" said Governor
Allen. "wh0 constitute the aristo-
cracy Of organized labor, have less
real concern in the proposed bill than
any of the other essential industries
touched by the bin, because of the
interstate character of their employ
ment. Nevertheless, they are lead
ing this fight because of the orders
they have received from their ma
tional leaders that no legislation
making unnecessary for organized
labor to use the club of the strike Is
to be permitted.
"These men established the first
sad record in the United States of
of government by coercion. They
initiated the present insane notion
that an organized minority is great
er than government itself when
they brought about by intimidation,
the enactment Of the Adamson law.
This victory over government, OBJ
tained while these leaders held their
stop watches ON congress, gave rise
to the belief on the part of the more
radical labor leaders that the gener-
al public had no rights which labor
was bound to respect"
These leaders have now come to
Kansas in the hope that they may,
