PLANS MACHINERY
TO AV|OD STRIKE
Senator Kenyon Wants Perma-
nent Industrial Court to
Settle Disputes
PLAN WORKED IN ENGLAND
BY the Associated Press

Washington. Jan. 90. - Elaborate
machinery for settlement of disputes be-
tween capital and labor is prepared in
n concurrent resolution introduced to-
day by Chairman Kenyon, of the Senate
labor committee.
President Wilson would be requested
by Congress to call national industrial
congress. composed of 300 voting dele
gates divided equally between labor
unions and industry, which would rec
ommend plan for permanent indus
trial courts and also formulate pro
gram of principles to governfuture in :
dustrial relations.
1t also is proposed that. pending
action by the national labor congress,
the President establish national labor
board to function temporarily like the
war labor board in hearing industrial
controversies.
Senator Kenyon told the Senate that
the preparation of an industrial code
was the primary thing he sought.
IF employer and employe could get
together and agree on an industrial code
recognizing the eight hour day, u living
wage, the right of collective bargaining
and other fundamental matters" said
Senator Kenyon, ''thcn disputes over
these fundamentals could be taken care
of in the industrial courts.
The conference proposed goes ia,
beyond the present conference or tn,
former one which ended in disaster
England tried this plan and it was sue
cessful.

Mr.. Gray objected to the offer of the
indictments in evidence. but was over
ruled and granted an exception. His
objection, he said. was based on the
fact that the defendant had no oppor-
tunity to examine the witnesses in the
various trials that have arisen from
the election feud in the "Bloody Fifth. :"

ticket. 1t would, in the opinion Of hta
friends, give him a winning issue. AS
the Hoover movement grows, the Rec
'publcans are likely to readjust their
affairs to meet.
IL there are signs that the reaction
following Americas disappointment at
Paris has spent its force and that the
country is returning TO sanity the Re-
publcans will try to be as progressive
as the best of them. IL this situation
should develop it would aid Hiram
johnson.
But it will hardly aid him enough.
johnson is not the only man in the Re
publican party who could run on a
progressive platform and he Is the last
ono the Republican organization will
put up. And the Republican organiza
ton will make the nomination. AS the
campaign develops it becomes daily
clearer that johnson cuts into Wood.
A commanding candidacy to which the
machine must bow is not in sight.

belong to johnson. Later the johnson
boom lost gas. 1t Debated rapidly and
Wood was supposed to have Nebraska.
Now again reports favor johnson.
The Nebraska Republicans are very
radical. But the contest there is con
fused by the Pershing candidacy, which
represents state pride. The only thing
clear is that johnson in some measure
came back.
In Michigan the powerful Detroit
News is conducting a campaign against
Wood The Detroit delegates at least
seem certain to go to Johnson, who is
the most acceptable of all the Republi-
can candidates to the News. And out
in the state Johnson's chances are
Frightening.
The latest report is that State Dairy
Commissioner Wordsworth is to man
age Johnson's Michigan campaign. If
this is true. johnson will not only carry
Detroit but give Wood hard fight for
the rest of the state.
1t will be observed that Johnson
cuts most deeply into Wood. He is a
real claimant to the political estate of
Theodore Roosevelt. Woods s chances
are badly damaged in Nebraska and
Michigan by johnson activities. And
in New Jersey Johnson's entrance into
the race may lead to the entrance OF
some conservative candidate favored by
the machine. A division of the Roose-
welt strength between the two riva
claimants may give the state to. ma
chine candidate.
The johnson candidacy is curiously
tied up with the candidacy of that
