TOPEKA, Kan.-Kansas doesn't
know yet whether it likes its new in
dustrial court or not; but it is going
to find out right away.
The general attitude seems to be
that this is a queer piece of new
tangled machinery that the governor
has put in, and we'd better give it
something to do and see if it will
work.
Nearly score of complaints were
received by the court in the first
two weeks of its existence, and they
are coming in now at the rate of
five or six day. And they are COM
ing in now from both employers and
employees, though more have been
received from the latter thus far.
The court, which has taken over
the working force of the state pub
lie utilities commission and added
some of it's own, occupies one en-
tire side of the fifth floor of the
sedate, high-ceilinged old capitol. De-
spite its stately surrounding however,
it is not to be bench and silk gown
court, according to member Clyde
M. Reed. One of the first things
it is going to do is to get into over
alls and jumpers and see for itself
what the inside of coal mine looks
like and what miners job is. 1t
also intends, he says, to visit the
miners homes.
The complaint of the miners of
Pittsburg, Kan, who went out on a
two-day strike in protest against the
industrial court law, is the first to
be reduced to a formal suit and set
for a hearing. The miners charge
that their employers refuse to pay a
fair living wage or give continuous
employment.
The first actually to be heard by
the new court, however, probably
VIII be that of Local Sal, Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers against the Topeka Edison
Company. The complaint alleges
simply that the company refuses to
pay five of its linemen a fair and liv~
ing wage.
Mass of Appeals
Then there is the mass of letters
that is piling up day by day; letters
so oddly assorted that they almost
fight in the mail bag.

 "So it's to complain of Virginia that you're keeping me. Really Anne-you seem to be-insane on the subject"
 I'll swallow the hurt of that, Jim. I had to tell you. You see, Neal leaves for camp at two-thirty. He's going a thousand miles away. Then overseas, L suppose. He may never-see Phoebe again. know you're fond of him-mayn't he have his good-by?"
 "Phoebe's only baby,'' muttered Jim, as if thinking aloud.
 She's a woman now. That's what war does to girls If she's resentful, if she feels that we didn't give her a chance, that we didn't understand her feelings, Phoebe may imagine she's martyr. And thwarted love isn't healthy. Oh, don't you see that it might make her bitter-hate all of us-harbor it against Virginia? ? It's better to take it for granted-just boy and girl love sweet, approved of-not Romeo and Juliet stuff.
 Unexpectedly Jim flung back his head and laughed.
 You funny littles solemn thing, So that's why you had to get rid of Virginia? Well, for NeaPs sake and Phoebe's-I'l1 forgive you, and you forgive me, too, dear. But.

 There was a minutes pause Then Virginia's voice came back to

 I hurried out, and just as I got into the living room, there stood Jim, with his hand on the knob of the door. He wore hat and coat and was leaning on heavy SUCK. Where could he be going alone-ex- cept to Virginia?
