OF ALLEN LAW
Gompers Starts Drive to
Abolish Kansas Court of
Industrial Relations.
(PubIic Ledger Service.D

The American Federation of Labor
has taken its first step in organic
ing a campaign to bring about the
repeal of the court of industrial
relations law of Kansas, the meas
ure sponsored by Gov. Henry J.
Allen of that State. According to
an announcement yesterday, Sam
uel Gompers, president of the Labor
Federation. has written a letter to
the Central Labor Unions of Kansas
urging the holding of a conference
to outline a Statewide campaign
for the abolition of the law.
The united forces of labor and
the farmers should seek the repeal
of this law" Gompers said in his
letter. IF this is endorsed the next
Legislature will go farther. as the
governor of your State appears TO
have made it his life work to
hamper the advancement Of labor
and the farmers.
while the workers Of Kansas
undoubtedly are stirred as never
before over this legislative fnva-
sion OF their rights the widest
publicity of its dangerous character
should be sought. Every voter In
Kansas should know that the law
provides for involuntary scrvitud'
in violation of tho thirteenth
amendment to the Constitution %
the United States"

ing the war again was denied the
privilege of taking the oath of allie

The Department of Labor, through
Naturalization Examiner Jesse
Thomas, opposed Lawrence's petit
tion for final papers and submitted
evidence from the Adjutant Gem
erals office which proved coDclu-
sively that Lawrence obtained ex-
emption from military service on
the ground that he was an alien
enemy.
Justice Gould agreed with the
Bureau of Naturalization that All
alien who wants to be a citizen
without the responsibilities attached
to that privilege should not be al
lowed to become a citizen.
Twenty-three former service men
were admitted to citizenship along
with forty-two civilians, making a
total of sixty-five new citizens,
many of whom will vote this fall.

CORNED BEEF WINS
OVER SPAGHETTI

San Francisco, Sept. Joseph
AmatO, an Italian, was granted a
divorce from his wife, Maud, who is
of Scotch-Irish descent.
"She wanted corned beef and cab
bage every day, your honor" said
Amato. 'I am an Italian, and 1 can't
eat it. I like spaghetti, macaroni
and other civilized dishes like that,
but she wouldn't cook them"
Il am not going to pass upon the
relative merits of corned beef and
cabbage as compared to spaghetti
and macaroni." said Judge Thomas
Graham, but I do not think it right
TO try and force an Italian to live on
an Irishman's diet or an Irishman to
live on spaghetti or macaroni."
