MAY HOLD ROADS AFTER MARCH
FIRST.

The railroads may not be returned
to their private owners March 1.
There are indications that they
will continue under the control of
the government for from two to
five years.
Senate and House conferees are
deadlocked. apparently beyond hope
of compromise in time to enable
Congress to pass the final legisla-
tion necessary to turning the roads
back to their owners.
Section of the Cummins bill,
providing for a 6 per cent. guaran-
teed earning on the physical value
of the roads, and the labor clause,
which makes it a crime for two or
more persons to agree to strike, are
the main points in dispute.

given 1t to others for catarrh, bloating
after eating and other ailments. 1t has
proved a success in all cases with old
and young men and women All speak
well Of PE-RU-NA. 1t is the best of all
tonics."
DR.. Wagner, out of the fullness of his
own personal experience, for the good of
all sick and suffering, recommends a
medicine which he knows to be good.
You may be sure a doctor would not en-
danger his professional reputation by

son, attorneys, stated that Mrs Yum
mer accompanied by her parents came
60 Topeka with the child. They said
that at this time they did not know

ATTACK ON COURT
Alexander HOwat's AttOrnys in
Another Industrial Blow.
Unconstitutional Because Title
Is Not Broad Enough.

In a supplemental answer filed to-
day with the Kansas supreme court,
attorneys for Alexander Howat make
further attacks on the industrial court
law. They allege that Judge Curran
of Crawford county was not vested
with authority to fine or sentence the
mine leader to jail for refusal to obey
labor court summons.
1t is urged in the answer that in
the body of the industrial court act
the tribunal which is created is clear
ly intended by the trainers not to be a
part of of the judiciary, but an agency
Of the legislature. Further criticism
of the law is on the assertion that the
act itself is broader than the title and
is unconstitutional because the pur-
pose of the legislature is not clearly
expressed in the title.
The act seeks to confer some
power, authority or duty not hitherto
existing upon the courts of Kansas, ."
Howat's attorneys contended in their
supplemental answer. It is argued
that the statute does not provide suf-
ficient enabling power to have war
-anted Judge Curran in issuing his
writ. Judge Curran's jurisdiction is
questioned under court authority con-
veyed in the law. 1t must follow
says the reply, that this contempt
proceeding being based on the I'M
constitutional act creating the court of
lHQuSLTldl relations IS III All respects
utterly void and must fall"
Answering the question of man
damus proceedings in the case, the
answer says: 1T is basic that man
damus will not lie except to compel
the performance of ministerial
duty"
Act Is Unconstitutional"
Concluding the lengthy attack on
the new court law, Howats attorneys
assert:
said act being unconstitutional. the
court of Industrial relations has no le-
gal existence and the district court of
Crawford county was and is without
Jurisdiction or authority to enter the
judgment from which this appeal is
taken"
Howat was cited for contempt in
April when he refused to obey a sum-
mons to testify before the court of in
dustriaI relations. At that time the
court was sitting in Crawford county
and was hearing testimony in the coal
mine cases.
Following his citation for contempt,
the mine union head appealed to the
court. Arguments in the supreme
