STRIKE IS FEARED
Rail Wage War May Mean Re-
turn of Federal Control.
Brotherhood Chief Declares
Wall Street To Blame.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Railway own
ers and workers today were verging on
a wage fight that may throw the
roads back under government con-
troll.
Labor heads, including Samuel
Gompers. fear a strike if the rail-
road labor board at Chicago grants
demands of the managers for wage
reductions.
The railroad workers will resist to
the bitter end, warned william H.
Johnston, head of the International
Association of Machinists. 'It will be
very difficult to avoid a general strike
if the managers gain their demands"
To prevent a tie-up of the nation s
transportation system with resultant
stagnation of industry, the government
has authority under the Esch-Cum-
minis law to seize the roads. The ad-
ministration could use this power or
could pass the strike on to the Hard
ing administration as it's first big prob
lem.
If it should be necessary to take
over the roads, their operations would
be directed by the interstate commerce
commission, despite the fact that the
railroad administration is still in ex-
istence. The step probably would be
welcomed by the workers.
Johnston said the demands of the
railroad managers were framed in
Wall street.

Curse of Courtesy Costs
Men s Regulations, Court
Told by Attorney Today
In Defense of William Patterson Whose Case Jury
Schenck Says 1t Is Dangerous to Pay Respects
to Women.

The curse of courtesy was preached
to a jury in Judge George Whitcomb's s
division of the district court today by
John j. Schenck, attorney for William
Patterson, rs, charged with a statu-
tory crime against Helen McVey, 15. =
Schenck declared that the time had
come when an American gentleman
could no longer show a woman the
courtesy he desired to show without
running the risk of being hailed INFO
court on a statutory charge or become
defendant in damage suit sponsored
by some woman he had befriended.
And the mans only defense, the law
yer said. is denial.
Schenck declared that any man who
picks up a woman in his automobile
on his way downtown places himself
in grave danger. Should he meet an
acquaintance at a railroad depot and
assist her on the train with her bag
gage, he risks facing white slave
charge. the attorney said
Just suppose" Schenck said to the
jury, that a man is going to Kansas
City. He meets a woman of his ac-
quaintance at the depot and helps her
on the train with her suitcase. They
occupy the same seat on the journey,
and at the union depot in Kansas City
he carries her suitcase UP the steps.
Someone sees them. Then the woman,
if she be that kind, and becomes dis
pleased with him. brings charge such
as this against him, or sues MIN Tor
money. What can that man do !?
There are witnesses who will say: I
saw him get on the train with her.
saw him carry her suitcase up the
steps at the union depot That mans
only defense is denial
Easy to Make, Hard to Break.
Let me say to you. gentlemen of
the jury. that the charge this defend
ant faces here today is the easiest
charge in the world to make and the
hardest to defend against Any woman
who has it in for a man for any rea-
son can go out alone with him, then
swear to a charge such as this, and

This was the sixth day since the trial
started. and the largest crowd that

he had given the correct information

With the divorce measures before

before the vote is taken in the house.
Confidence of the administration in its
ability to push the measure thru the

new LABOR BILL ASK new MOB LAW
Union Federation Leader Urges
State Insurance Act.
Maximum Award Is Fixed
at S1e,3O0.

State insurance against injury of
employees is the chief feature eof a
compensation bill drafted by the Kan
,sas State Federation of Labor which
will be urged in lieu of the compensa-
ton measure formulated by Governor
Aliens special commission. w: Z.
Freeman, president of the federation,
announced here today
Maximum Is S1O,3eO.
The maximum award in the bill
sponsored by organized labor is $10,-
800, while the maximum under the
commissions bill is $4,000. The max
imum compensation in the labor bill is
ployes weekly wage, but not to ex-
ceed S25. The maximum under the
commissions bill is 60 per cent of the
weekly wage but not to exceed SIS.
The advantages of state insurance
fund, as compared to compulsory LA
bility insurance in private companies,
urged by Freeman, are that there
should be a saving to the employer of
10 per cent to 25 per cent in the cost
of the insurance and that employees
are saved the cost of possible litiga-
ton in collecting the insurance. The
bill provides an appropriation of $780,
900 for a revolving fund which would
be retired as soon as possible after the
law is in operation.
A Humane Argument.
'In addition to good business rea-
sons for state compensation insur-
ance, there is the humane argument"
Freeman declared. THE federation
believes that no company should be
permitted to profit from the injury
of a workman"
Administration of the law is placed
under a commission composed ex Of
ficio of the state labor commissioner,
state auditor and secretary of the
state board of agriculture. secre-
tary is provided at a salary of $4,000.
No definite schedule of compensa ton
is formulated in the law for different
types of injury The amount is to be
determined by the commission with
due regard to the age of the injured
and his dependents.
Vocational Training Provided.
Specific provision is made for rehabil-
itation of the injured in addition to
compensation for the amount of the
injury. The commission is charged
with giving vocational training to the
! injured, to fit them, if possible, to
again become workers.
The labor bill has been modelled
| largely after the laws now in operation
in Ohio and other states, as well as the
federal law, according to Freeman
The bill will be introduced in a few
days, he said. By whom, it has not
been determined.
