Interest Gathered From
Many Sources.
STATE AFTER PACKERS NOW
Industrial Court Proceedings May be
Brought Against Them Because
Of laying Off Wersn1en

Richard n. Hopkins. attorney gen.
eral, has asked the big five packers
why they have laid off yearly two
thousand men In Ghe last two or three
weeks and closed down some Of their
departments without obtaining permits
sion from the industrial court.
Shortly after the court law became
effective members Of the meat cut
ters' union complained to Governor
Allen that the pockers were closing
down the plants partly and laying off
considerable numbers of men. A spe-
cial investigator Of the court was
sent to Kansas City. Kas,. and found
that the packers were in the habit Of
varying the numbers of men employ
ed In the killing division Of the differ
ent plants.
More comulete reports OF the inves-
tigators the last week at the instance
OF the attorney general brought out
the fact that more than eighteen hun
dred employees Of the big five"
plants had been laid off since March
I and that a considerable number Of
employees had been told the ''lay Off
would be permanent. Information
also has come to the attorney general
that several departments in all the
plants had been closed.
Under the industrial court law no
essential industry is permitted to shut
down it's plant or curtaiI production
in any way. except in the ordinary
course of business. without laying the
facts before the industrial court
and obtaining 8 permit for the tenn
pOrary suspension or complete clos
ing down OF the plant. That has not
been done by the packers.
The attorney general has written
letters to Armour & Co., Swift & Co.,
Morris & Co., Wilson & Co. and the
Cudahy Packing Company. He may
bring proceedings against the packers
unless there is some definite explana-
ton forthcoming at once.

WOULD SUE RAIL STRIKERS
Attorney General Hopkins Explains
That Railroad Employees are Not
Exempt Under Industrial Law.

If the brakeman on the Rock Island
lines in Kansas strike they viii be
prosecuted under the new industrial
court law. There is no exemption in
the law for railroad employees or en-
ployees OF any other essential indus
try Richard J. Hopkins, attorney gen.
eral, said the state was prepared to
proceed against the officers Of the
brakemen's union if the strike went
into effect In this state. Officials Of
the union" said Mr.. Hopkins. who
join in a conspiracy to cause a cessa-
ton Of work or hamper an essential
industry, are guilty OF felony under
the court law and are subject to fine
and Imprisonment for not more than
two years in the penitentiary. The or
binary person who joins in such con-
spiracy or agreement is guilty Of a
misdemeanor. and is subject to fine
and Imprisonment for not more than
one year in the county Jail.
Under the law the attorney general
and county attorneys. not the court
itself, are responsible for prosecutions
under the criminal sections of the act.
The court can start an investigation at
once into the merits OF the controversy
and issue such findings and orders as
it sees fit If the strike reaches such
proportions as to endanger the public
health. welfare or disturb the public
peace, the court is directed by the law
to take over the industry and operate
it.
1.-The industrial court law does not
exempt the Rock Island employees
from its provisions. This department
will enforce the law to the best of its
ability and will aid all county attor-
neys who enforce the law. This par
ticular case has not been called to my
attention officially, but the law Is
plain enough on the matter"
The Kansas industrial court has
held that it had jurisdiction to hear
the complaint and make a decision in
the application of the union of station
airy firemen. oilers and other shop en-
ployees of all the railroads in the
state. The arguments of the railroads
that the court had no Jurisdiction be-
cause of the action of congress in Gre
ating the railroad labor board were
presented recently. The motion Of the
railroads was denied and the roads
given time to answer the complaint Of
the workmen. The court will hear the
case later in the month. The court
held that so long as congress had fail
ed to give the railroad labor board any
power to enforce it's order and since
the Kansas court has these powers the
court would take jurisdiction and hear
the complaint and make a decision.
The railroad labor board can make in
vestigations and findings. but cannot
compel the acceptance of the findings
or awards by either the railroads or
the employees

None. are of the opinion that the

as a possibility Of frost later on, they
feel that might play havoc with the
crop in some portions Of the state, af-
ter it has been almost grown. The
plants are growing slowly and are
not as hardy as general, but this is
directly due to the weather, and the
growers believe that they will develop
sufficiently to admit of planting even
at later season than usual, and that
there viii be q favorable crop, should
there not be an extended continuance
of such weather as has been expert
encd the past month. Many have haG
their tobacco plants in the ground by

crimes. Vice President Marshall
deplored the attention given by
the press to news Of the crime
in all address to newspaper pub
fishers the other day; but he did
not go so far as to advocate that
it should be withheld from re-
.porters. The position Of the Cal
ifornia executive is indefensible.
For public officials to take it
upon themselves to act as CEN
sors of the press is to sow the
seeds Of an evil infinitely worse
than that which they profess to
seek to eradicate. Crime thrives
in darkness. Whether or not it
is advisable to give prominence to
stories of sordid crimes may be
debatable. But it should be left
TO the newspapers own discre-
ton whether it shall be printed,
