"Can't- Strike" Law
Has "ROcky Travel''

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 29.-The tin
sci has worn off Aliens cant
strike" law and its supporters have
abandoned their cock-sure attitude
on the ancient policy of handwriting
workers to their jobs.
The governor is conscious that he
is slipping, but that is the extent
of his knowledge on this subject.
He has recommended that the in
dustrial court, which enforces the
law, turn over the management of
public utilities to some other COM
mission and permit the court to
handle strikes. Last year the in
dustrial court handled % disputes
and there are some members of the
Legislature so hard headed that they
ask if it is not high price to pay
three men $4,000 a piece to handle
about two disputes a month.
There has been so much politics
connected with the board, and such
friendship to corporations when
they asked for increased rates, that
the hard-headed legislators, above
referred to, declare that the whole
outfit should be probed.

of sentiment in this state toward
the governors legislation. Less
than a year ago he was hailed as
the savior of the country, and was
given much publicity in his nation
wide campaign for this handcuff
legislation while he hoped that the
vice presidential nomination, or pos
sibly president, would be handed
him.
Kansas was surely on the map
those days, but now many persons
who would not listen to trade union
lists agree that the toy balloon has
bursted Business men are disgrunt-
led because telephone rates have
been raised and they and other citi-
zens are growing because gas rates
are higher, while nothing is being
done to curb the profiteers.
The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1921-02-11

The special correspondent of the
Union Record thus sums up the do
ings of the Legislature:
| Olympia, Feb. with the recon-
vening of the house and senate today
the second half of the seventeenth
| legislative session will be under way.
The first four weeks has seen al
most no constructive legislation put
on the books. The civil administra-
| tive code, over which so much ado
was made, still awaits the signature
of the governor to make it law.
But even the code is not certain
| of being on the books for the rea-
son that the supreme court will be
called upon to pass on its validity
and there are more than a score of
legislators who are convinced it will
be found to be unconstitutional in
several particulars.
Interest for the coming week will
center largely in the educational
code which will be up for a public
hearing in the house chambers We'd
nesday evening at 1880. The resolu-
ton calling for this step has been
so worded that if there are those
who are unable to be heard at that
time another session will be held on
the following evening.
This bill is being bitterly fought
throughout the state, one of its chief
opponents being Mrs. Elizabeth Cor
liss Preston, present state superin-
tendent.
The chief feature of the bill is to
further centralize power in the hands
of few and to make all appoint
ments subject to the whims of an
autocracy in school management.
Following is summary of the
bills passed so far by the legis-
lature:

life BONDS" NOW
MOST ATTRACTIVE
FOR INVESTMENT

A great deal of interest has been
created throughout the state in the
life bonds" of the Near East Relief,
which are being distributed from the
state office in Phoenix. These bonds
bear 20 coupons, each Of which sells
for s1-O0, the total amount procured
for the bond being sufficient to feed
four Armenian children for whole
month.
The schools and Sunday schools
are taking up the bonds with much
enthusiasm, in some cities corps of
students sell the coupons on the
street, and the success which they
are attaining demonstrates that the
life bonds, which mean the saving
of starving children, are proving a
popular investment
The magnitude of the work of the
Near East Relief is not generally
realized. The organization is now
maintaining 223 orphanages, So hos
pitals and an indefinite number of
refugee camps, the latter of which
are constantly increasing in number.
The Red Cross formally turned its
work in this country over to the
Near East Relief, and this is the only
agency at work in this ancier and
where Christ was born.
The demnant of the Armenian ma
tion that is left is gathered in these
orphanages and refugee camps, and
relief work is urgent, cessation of
supplies for a single week would
mean the death Of thousands of
women and children
