PORTER PEACE
RESOLUTION UP
BEFORE HOUSE
Pla,, to Force Vote
Before S O'clock;
Demos Oppose.

Washington, June 11.-(United
Press AFTER exactly six weeks Of
delay since the Knox resolution
was passed by the senate the Por-
ter peace resolution, a substitute
measure of Republicans in the low
er branch of congress, was called
up for action in the house today.
Plans are to force the measure
to q vote before O'Clock today,
after which conferences between
senate and house will be necessary
to iron out differences before peace
can be declared.
The house resolution probably
will be considered on an alright
rule which will prohibit the offer
ing Of all amendments. A hot pre-
liminary skirmish was expected
over the adoption of the rule, as
Democratic leaders have determin-
ed to oppose it vigorously as a
gag" tactic.
The main contention OF the Demo
Gratis in opposing the resolution
will be that it will jeopardize Amer.
ican rights, the claim being thai
Germany can easily refuse to grant
this country the advantages which
| 1t would have received had it ap.
proved the Versailles treaty.
A fight may be made by some
Republicans to insert in the reso-
luton a provision requiring the
withdrawal Of the American arm,
of occupation, but this probably
will be opposed by the Democrats
who claim such action might en-.
courage Germany to oppose the al.
lies.

HOWATLOSESIN
KANSAS RULING
Must Serve Year in Jail-Supreme
Court Decides Industrial Law
Not Void.

Topeka, Kans., June 11.-Unated
Press.)-The Kansas court Of in
dustrial relations law was again
upheld today by the state supreme
court which ruled that Alexander
Howat, president of the Kansas coal
miners union, will have to serve q
Jail sentence of year for viola
tion of an injunction issued by the
district court of Crawford county.
In the opinion it is held that the
act creating the industrial court Is
not void because Of the duality Of
subject, or defective title or because
it cOmmingles functions of serar-
ate departments Of government, all
of which were raised as constitu-
tional questions by the counsel for
Howat in urging the case before the
court.
Also the state supreme court held
that the industrial relations was not
issued to prevent the committee Of
miners and that Howat was not en-
titled to jury trial before the dis
trict court.
Coal Production Vital.
"The business of producing coal
in this state bears an intimate re-
lation to the public peace, health
and welfare, is affected with a pub
lie interest, and may be regulated
to the end that continuity Of pro-
duction may be made" the court
said in the syllabus. -
Also the court held that the act
creating the court Of Industrial re-
lations is reasonable and valid
exercise of the public power of the
state over the business of produc-
ing coal and does not impair liberty
of contract or permit involuntary
servitude.
Howat was enjoined by the state
last summer from calling a strike
by the Crawford county district
court. He ignored this INDUCTION
and proceeded to call strikes. He
was brought into the district court
and was tried, but was denied I
jury trial. He was sentenced to I
year in Jail and Immediately an
pealed- to the state supreme court
1t is expected that he will appeaI
to the United States supreme cour1
at once.
