Of the School Law passed by this Coun-
Gil. | had nothing to do with the draft
ing of the Law. | am frank to admit
that | may have been as negligent in not
going over it carefully when it was placed
before us, YET | do not known that the
Ordinance is so repulsive as to require
such changes as proposed in the amend
ment.
The point that | am trying TO make
clear is this, this particular Ordinance
has passed this Council, and has been in
existence for a very short time; appa-
rently there are questions that are in
vOlved, and which requires deep legal
consideration; therefore | am advocating
that we give the matter very deep con-
SideratiOn.
| do not say that there has not been
cause for the amendment, there may be,
but # there is, the facts and the details
and the circumstances have not been pre-
sented to this Council; therefore, before
this Council takes any final action, it
should appoint a committee to- hear the
complaints and the merits of the com
plants car be passed upon.

tors and corps of Teachers under them
a chance to be heard and after hearing
both sides of the case, if we find that
the children are being deprived of their
educational liberty, then, we will so de-
eide. But Ithis afternoon we have no
evidence before US, and don't believe

TOPEKA, Kansas, Aug. 21.-The

industrial relations court is urconsti-
tutional because "the subject of said
provision is not clearly expressed IN
the title" does not yet jeopardize
the activities or legality of the court,
according to Judge ". L. Higgins,

Members of the court and Attor-
ney General R. ]. Hopkins, who will
appeal the Wyandotte county decis-
ion to the supreme court, expressed
themselves as confident that the law
as enacted will stand the acid test
before the high court.
Judge Mechanism contends that the
title of the law itself sis not germane
to what is expressed therein" relative
to the criminal features of the court
act. While the court in itself has no
criminal jurisdiction, it is obligated
by the court act to have violators of
the law proecuted in any court of
competent jurisdiction. This might be
in either state or federal court,
The case before Judge Mechanism
was that of switchman arrested on
q charge of agitating a strike and en-
deavoring to persuade other to quit

the industrial relations court as one
necessary to the public welfare.
