ALLEN is A VICTOR
Administration Wins First
Round in Court War.
LambertsOn Forces Are Badly
Beaten in Row.

Three hours of hard, fast fighting
in the house Thursday afternoon and
the anti-administration organization
staggered to its corner badly beaten
in the first round of the Industrial
court fight. The Lambertson organ
ization broke and the farmers scat
tered to cover. On a motion by Stan
ley, of Wyandotte, to strike out the
enacting clause and kill the bill, the
ants lost, 80 to 81.
Administration Due to Win.
While the senate was passing the
divorce bill on third reading. the house
was bringing to head the first test
in committee of the whole. Early in
the debate it was apparent that the
administration was forcing the issue
and was due to win. The oratorical
firing came almost entirely from
friends of the bill after the first hour.
When a rising vote was taken on the
Stanley motion-an hour after the
regular quitting time for house men,
bers-there were but 81 members who,
rallied to the colors. A week earlier
the house had registered SO votes to
bring the court before the house in
iirect administration slap.
Some of the inside politics of the
,ivorce fight came to the surface in

the allignments which were made in
the floor scrap. Lambertson, of
Brown, yielded time to Martin, of
Reno, while he peeled strips of hide
from the public utilities side Sof the
court. Martin wants home rule for
cities in the regulation of public utility
matters. So do a number Of other
house members.
Martin is Frank in Matter
BY adding to the unpopularity of
the utility department, Martin and
his associates hope to put the state
control feature out of business. Mar
tin is perfectly frank in the matter.
He is willing to save the industrial
court. but his ak is sharpened for the
public utilities commission whenever
the bill is presented to recreate that
body. If he fails in his fight this
year, an effort will be made two years
hence to abolish the commission.
Shaping of the fight n-the house in
dicated in a large way that the fight
might not be entirely lost at this seS-
sion. 1t made equally clear. tho, that
the new support which had come to
the administration was not exactly
100 per cent devoted to the entirety
of Governor Aliens program. 1t was
willing to help divorce the industrial
court and public utility branches. But
the administration must say its own
prayers for the public utilities COM
mission.
Based on Increased Expense.
SANKEY'S fight to strike out the en-
acting clause was based entirely on
the increased expense and the fact that
the court at this time can handle its
business if it would suspend politics.
He said the two bodies would cost the
taxpayers more than 100000 a year.
Leader McDermott defended the
court divorce plan and criticised both

said if the rights OF the cities of Kan

Harley Defends Court.
Harley of Douglas answered the
Lambertson speech in an appeal to
the legislature to put humanity and
decent living above dollars. He said
the purpose of the court was to give
to the workingman living wage and
a fair chance. He said the work could
not be properly carried out without
from the public utility body.

red hot flaying at the hands of Garvin
