CLAIM A VICTORY
Organized Labor Says Indus
trial Court Law Is Broken.
Freeman Says Fund VIII Be
Collected for Strikers.

Organized labor, thru W. E. Free
man, president of the state fedora
ton, today asserted that the indus
trial court law had broken down in
Kansas. Freemans assertion came in
reply to Governor Aliens statement
that the court would not interfere
with the present strike situation in
Crawford and Cherokee counties. If
necessary, Freeman said, all organs
lied labor would be called upon to
contribute to a fund to support the
strikers. ia-
Freeman asserted that the COVER
nor's statement was an admission of
the weakness of the court law and
was an attempt by the state execu-
tive to side-step and dodge the real
issue. He declared that the miners
would not return to work SO long as
Howat is in Jail. II only hope" he
said today, that the mines will re-
main closed until Governor Alien is
no longer in the state house and he
and his political abortion have passed
into oblivion"
Sneer at Administration.
There was a sneer at the state ad-
ministration and the labor court act
in the tones of F'reeman's statement
to the press today when he COM
mented on Governor Aliens recent
statement. Freeman laughed as he
read an extract from the governors
statement which said: 1T is not the
purpose OF the Industrial court to
seize upon every technical opportunity
for interfering with the relationships
of employer and employee"
Think OF the inconsistency of the
court and Allen" said Freeman. "They
go down into the coal fields and have
HOwat arreSte ed for Hing CT in,
a couple of mines. Now, when every
mine in the field is closed down
neither the court nor the governor
does anything but explain why moth
ing is being done.
THE governor realizes his court is
whipped. His political slave machine
has failed most miserably There is
judges, a small army of employees and
appropriations of $133,000 of the peo-
pies money to spend campaigning for
the next candidate for governor.
To Support Miners.
"The labor movement in Kansas will
support the miners in their protest
strike. 1 only hope the mines will
remain closed until Governor Allen is
no longer in the state house and until
he and his political abortion have
passed into oblivion. If necessary
will issue call to all labor of Kansas
for financial assistance to help the
miners
Freeman's assertion that he would
ask organized labor general to sup
port the miners was a surprise state
ment in the coal mine fight. His
statement to the press today was made
following his actions Friray night in
sending sympathy kilograms to Howat
and Dorchy in the Cherokee county
iail.

appearance.

Four hundred rough, unkempt, un-

members of the '.bumadiers'' society,
made their debut to Topeka. They ar
rived last night on freight trains on
the Union Pacific and Santa Fe lines.
After mobbing the Washburn campus
early this morning, the students am
bled to the downtown section and tied
up traffic about 10 o'clock this morn
ing with their yelis and antics.
At IL O'Clock the real delegation
arrived on the Santa Fe.
At 1880 o'clock a band of about
100 musicians, uniformed and brilliant,

a parade was never seen in Topeka

Kansas cannot sidestep or wink st
the Crawford-Cherokee county coal
strike and keep faith with the letter
according to Presiding Judge w. L.
Higgins. In a statement today. Judge
Huggins took direct issue with Gov
ernor Allen regarding the states re-
sponsibility. He asserted that in event
the state should be- unable to cope
with crisis in the coal fields, it would
be due to failure to provide adequate
emergency police protection.
While Judge Higgins was prepar-
ing statement pointing to the states
responsibility in meeting the coal
strike, w. E. Freeman, president of
the State Federation of Labor, was
sending a message of cheer and hope
to Howat and Dorchy. Freeman as
serted that in his opinion every mine
worker in the state would remain idle
until Howat was released from Jail.

Washington, July 2.-Signng OF the
resolution declaring a state of peace
with Germany and Austria, ii was
held here, ended today the technical
state of war vita those powers.
The next step it was pointed Que
would be the issuing of the formal

and it's effect would date from to-
day., The proclamation, it was ex'
piained would be by President Hard,
ing and signed IN addition by secre-
tary Hughes.
A treaty of peace will then be ne
eotiated, it was said, but the admin

it will undertake such negotiations
The signing of the resolution, it was
added, opens the way for resumption
of diplomatic relations between the
United States and the former enemy
powers, although it has been indicated
that the manner in which this will
be approached have not been deter,
mined.
