INDUSTRIAL COURTS
Protest of Proposed Tribunals
First Business When National
Conference Reconvenes.

When the National Industrial Con-
ference reconvenes in Washington
early next week.its first business will
be the consideration of a strong pro-
test from the American Federation
OF Labor against the Industrial tri-
bunaIs which IL proposes to estab-
lish.
Labor is against compulsory arbi-
tration OF Industrial disputes in any
form. It's attitude is graphically re-
vealed by the bitter fight in Kansas,
where the State legislature is engag-
ed in framing a compulsory arbitra-
ton law. Labor leaders from all
sections OF the nation, with their at
torneys, are hurrying to Topeka to
protest against the legislation and to
make IL an issue in the next election
IL necessary.
Samuel Gompers will appear be-
fore the Industrial Conference n op-
position to its plans. He will ask.
before Industrial courts be establish
ed, that the fundamental issues Of
collective bargaining and union recg-
milton be disposed. His brief has been
prepared, and he will be assisted in
its presentation by Frank Morrison.
Matthew Woll, and others.
THE establishment of an industrial
court system in the United States.
coincident with anti-strike legisla-
ton in Congress, will be a distinct
blow to organized labor" say feder-
alton officials.
The American Federation OF Labor
is not disposed to oppose all form
OF Industrial adjustment, however,
since it is recognized that Success
sion Of costly strikes soon would be-
come intolerable to the public, but
II wants drastic changes in the plan
framed by the Industrial Conference.
and will make a fight for them.

DEATH JUST DELUSION,
THIS AUTHOR CONTENDS

Death is a delusion, according to
l.. w. Rogers, author and psycholo-
gist, who is here to deliver three lee
lures at the Raleigh Hotel, COM
mencing tomorrow evening and end
ing Wednesday.
"The most popular view about
DEATH" declared Mr.. Rogers today, "is
only a delusion, great delusion.
There is nothing mysterious about II
any more. Death is merely a change.
All that Il does Is to usher us into a
world Of finer matter-a world quite
different from this to be sure, but
a world OF matter and form, of pur-
pose and enterprise"

spontaneous suggestion that Byrne
must have been dismissed because
he is an Irishman and a Roman Cath

MORE RAILWAY ACCIDENTS

An engine pulling work train on
the G. & n w branch line between
Brookings and Watertown Tuesday
morning left the track near Bruce
from some cause not clear to local
railway men. The engineer, II. j.
Dickson, of this city, was painfully
but not dangerously bruised, but no
one else is reported as being injured.
The track was torn up to such an ex-
tent that trains could not pass for
several hours.
On Monday morning. it is reported,
a rail broke under the morning east
bound train out of Huron while the
train was pulling out Of the yards. IN
the latter instance no cars were de-
rallied but as the cars bumped along
over the ties where the rail was
broken until the train could be
stopped it reminded some of the pas
sengers who had been in the Spring
field wreck two weeks ago of their
sensations at that time just before that
train turned over on one side along
the right of way in the darkness of
an early morning hour.
