From the Kansas City Star.
 Hutchinson, Kas., Oct. 5.-In a caustic denunciation of labor lead CTS and some of their un-American principles, Governor Allen today re- taliated for the slap taken at the Le- zion by the United Mine Workers at Indianapolis yesterday. The speech was made to legionaires attending the state convention here, and some two thousand delegates echoed the senti- ments with their cheers.
 Referring to the resolution adopted by the miners urging the Legion to put their own house in order" the governor declared:
 "The man that urged the adoption of such resolution never wore the uniform. In all my associations with organized labor and with the Ameri- can Legion, have never found a Le- zion man, belonging to union, cast insult toward fellow members.
 'This organization should take no part in labor disputes. Those men who went to Pittsburg to provide a state with coal carried no chip on their shoulder for the laboring man.
 Idle Because of Labor's Creed.''
 There are million men idle today as result of the greed on the part of capital and on account of the greed on the part of labor The capitalists creed is to hold onto the wartime pro- fiteering profits. The creed of organ ized labor, as repeated time and time again by their leaders, is to do as lit- tie work as possible for as much as they can get.
 That is the advice labor leaders have been handing out to their work CTS. It is that selfish, self-centered plan that has resulted in the problem of the unemployed.
 This is time of achievement. 1t it the time for the building of a new program of citizenship, and I hope that the laboring man will fit in as an American part of the program. If he does, changes, radical changes, must be made in the leadership of the unions.
 Says Labor Is Un-American.
 ''The greatest difficulty with labor of today is that it is trying to adopt an un-Ameriean plan, and there is nothing that menaces the United States today as that attitude.
 "There ought not to be the problem of unemployment now. This should be a period of progress and prosperity. The cause is greed. While all the other organization members are &C., cepting the period of readjustment in the right spirit, labor leaders con- tinue to demand, We want what we won during the war"
 Urges Legion to Enter Politics.
 Taking up the position of the Le- zion in politics, the governor said:
 "The ideas of citizenship which you represent are of too much value to re- main out of politics. If you are going to put into this country the stamp of purpose and achievement, get busy and get into politics. You know the American side of the questions. Be- come intensely interested in political issues, in legislation, and determine whether the political trend is march ing forward as it should.
 You're going to tincture and tone party politics. None have more right than you.
 Next year you will be in the midst of the fight of organized labor. You will be invited by Alexander Howat and by Townley to wipe out the indus trial court and establish the Non-par- tisan League principles in this state Kansas will need your help to keep the boat steady. There never will be time when any man who made the sacrifices that you fellows made in France, shall need to clean house at the behest of labor leaders who are borrowing their doctrines from the old world, the doctrines which you tried to wipe out"
