Can't Strike Law Has Lost Its
TInse|; Employers Entrenched
Labor Has No Show.

TOPEKA, Kan. Aug. 1.-THE tin
sci is rubbed off Aliens "can't-strike"
law, which is violated with impunity
by employers. It is publicly charged
that the packing house interests have
Aliens kangaroo court scared stiff
and that the court is split because of
politics. The latter claim is support
ed by the chairman of the court,
Judge Higgins, who states that his
court must be free from politics, and
that 1T this cannot be done the law
cannot succeed"
The court finds itself UP against
stone wall in the case of the Wolff
Packing company, which discharged
aforeman because he took wage
complaint to the court. An award was
made in favor of the employees, which
the company refused to recognize and
discharged. the man who was respon-
sible for taking the case to the court.
Later two men circulated petitions
asking the court to reinstate the VIC
timized worker, and they were dis-
charged.
The attorney general is in possession
Of affidavits defending the workers,
ficers of the company are credited
with boasting that if they are crowd
e.: too far they will knock out the
law.
Judge Higgins has split with Gov
ernor Allen. a fact that trade union
lists show is not over principle, but
rather scrap between politicians.
"Practicar' politicians do not favor
pushing the packers. They say that
labor is against Allen, and if big busi-
ness turns against him, his job of saw
ing the; world is at an end. -.
All of which shows that Allen and
his wondrous law are on the defensive,
and that both of them will in time be
listed with other political freaks that
attract public attention for the mo-
ment.

Engineering Council Tells Of

trades employers pay less attention to

mary of a report issued by the COM
mittee on elimination of waste in in
dustry of the American engineering
council.
The report states that idle men and
machinery are caushing" loss Of
nearly a billion dollars a year in the
metal trades industry. This estimate
does not include the value of materi-
ais that could be utilized.
Instability of labor. employment and
faulty management. the committee
said ARE major causes of waste in
this, the largest manufacturing indus
try in the United States, both in num-
ber of employees and value Of prod
ucts.
The average waste due to labor
turnover mounts into millions, and
most Of the constant changing Of labor.
can be avoided. Modern employment
methods. embracing the. study of why
men quit" are urged.
It is estimated that at present about
80 per. cent Of the responsibility for
waste, or non-productton, rests with
management, and it is declared that
the need is imperative that the man
agement of labor be elevated to q
higher plane.
