COPY KANSAS LAW STRIKE NEAR END?
Federal Industrial Court Act Is
Being Planned.
Bill May Be Issued Soon in
United States Congress.

State officials see renewed action
toward passage of a federal industrial
court act as a result of the present
rail and coal strike situations 1t is
likely that labor court bills will be in
troduced soon in both branches of
congress.
Governor Allen today received a
letter from Albert J. Beveredge, who
recently defeated United States SEN
ator Harry New in Indiana primaries,
asking for copies of the Kansas law.
Beveredge indicated that he proposed
to present similar measure in the
senate next year
Several days ago Congressman
Richard E. Bird of the Eighth Kansas
district stated that he would offer a
bill in the national house providing
for a federal labor court. He will
probably frame the measure for intro
duction in the next few weeks. Bird
and other members of the Kansas DEL
egation have returned to. Washington
in response to the presidents call.
They Watch Kansas.
Governor Allen has for some time
urged that the Kansas act be covered
in a federal law. During the recent
strike trouble the industrial world has
given more heed to conditions in this
state than in any other section of the
country. The fact that Kansas has
been more effective than any other
state in meeting the strike problem
has given the federal law supporters a
big talking point.
Recent action of the railroad broth
in deserting their trains and
leaving hundreds of women and chill
dren passengers at desert points has
made a large number of converts fO-
the law, Governor Allen believes. He
declined today to make a formal
statement regarding the prospects of
a federal labor court law further than
to say that he expected early action.

INVESTIGATE OIL SUPPLY
New Move on Part of Producers
Taken Up by Court.

Governor Allen and the industrial
court members are investigating
moves of oil operators tending to cur
tail production and increase prices.
The governor conferred today with
the court members regarding the new
move in the oil industry. 1t is prob
ably that action may be taken by the
state.
On the heels of reports of further
coal shortages came news that the
oil operators were not at all pleased
with conditions. At a conference Sat-
urday the operators planned to shut
down new developments until prices
should advance to a more satisfactory
level.
Many industries in Kansas are look
ing to the oil fields for fuel supplies
next winter. Several railroads using
oil burners are also affected by the
fuel oil supply.
1t is not improbable that the state
will go into the fuel oil situation some
time this week. Governor Allen stat
ed today that he would await a re-
port from the Industrial court before
taking action.

by acute blood poisoning.
News Not a Surprise.
The death of no other unofficial
person could have made a deeper i'm
preston in England than that of

a surprise, as the bulletins issued by
the doctors for the last week plainly
indicated that their patient was dying.
The nature of the fatal disease has
not yet been revealed, but it is ex-
pected the public will soon be told.
Lord Northcliffe was by far the
most noted figure in British journal
ism, and the first questions on every

death will have on policies of Times
and his other newspapers, which since
the end of the war have strongly op-

land, which Northcliffe press sup
