laws, the joker in the act is the attempt to
make the act of striking not illegal in IT.
self, but Illegal as a conspiracy" and
everybody knows that a real strike can
only be brought about by previous general
understanding.
The Kansas act is primarily intended to
make the act of striking punishable Of
Tense. Gov. Allen and the other defenders
of that act insist that the statute does not
forbid anybody to leave his work; but it
does forbid any number of persons above
one from leaving at the same time by a
joint understanding. and without that
feature the law would break down.
The Kansas law, however. does not apply
to all strikes but only to strikes in in
dustries which are impressed or affected
by the public interest. This goes far be-
ject. Everybody recognizes that trans
portation is public interest which is
regulated by both State and nation, even
to the point of fixing wage scales, and yet
there is nothing IN any statute of the
United States which prevents or provides
punishment for strike of railroad en-
ployees. The coal industry is certainly
impressed with the public interest. but
after months of an almost watertight
strike of anthracite miners they went back
to work practically on their own terms.
Having put into effect this formidable
statute the Kansas courts hesitate to use
it's row of practicable legal teeth. They
are resorting to another weapon against
strikes and labor unions-namely. the in
junction. 1t is very curious fact that in
the case of Howat. a labor leader in the
coal industry. and in several other cases
the conviction was obtained not at all
under the conspiracy sections of the act
but for contempt of court in continuing to
direct strike. That is. in a very hot and
difficult case, the State of Kansas has de-
clined to use the machinery created by the
statute OF 1920 and has fallen back on
court action. which apparently could have
been taken without that statute.
An effort was made in March, 1922, to
annul the conviction in the Howat case by
appeal to the Supreme Court of the United
states The court, with one dissent showed
a serious lack of respect for what they
termed 'the board miscalled court
an administrative tribunal to arbitrate
controversies between employers and en-
ployees" AS matter Of fact the Kansas
courts seem TO recognize the Industrial
Court as a fifth wheel to the judicial coach

pamphlet issued by Gov Allen Sep
tember 90. 1922, sets forth that in about
two years the court passed on thirty-four
cases; part of the cases were brought by
the employees; and in thirty-three cases
both parties were satisfied with the finding.
OF course it will be noted that these cases
do not include the conviction and imprison-
ment Of Howat which was anything but

try be happier if other States and the
Union should adopt the ultra methods
described by Gov. Allen? He says that
The Industrial Court notified the law Of
ficers of all the communities which have
railway shops that there was no such
thing in Kansas as peaceful picketing."
Or shall we adopt as a national system
the construction of the Kansas law under
which Gov. Allen is now backing the
prosecution of his lifelong bosom friend,
William Allen White, for putting card in
his window expressing sympathy with the
strikers? This card" says the Governor
concerning its general use, innocent in it's
declaration of 100 per cent. sympathy for
the strikers, was much more serious than
an expression of sympathy, since it's effect
was to create an atmosphere of hostility
against the men who would be obliged to
come to these stores to buy their living
supplies"
The Kansas law and all other similar
devices for compelling men who funda-
mentally disagree to agree to agree are
subject to two fatal objections. The first
is that personal liberty is too important to
permit it's usual guarantees to be destroyed
by inventing new kind of conspiracy, by
backing up the recent penal laws, already
by encouraging or permitting local govern
ments to practice false Imprisonment on
strikers and by trying to silence third
parties quite outside the controversy who
venture to assert that the strikers have
right on their side. That is too big a
price to pay for what is substantially no
result at ALL for all this combination OF
penalties does not obviate the fact that at
this moment there is an unsolved strike
in Kansas.
The other reason for avoiding such ex-
treme and fOotless measures is that it is
playing the game of the other side. To
attempt to extirpate the strikes and to
annihilate the labor unions, while there is
no limit on the number of employers
unions, is futile. Violent legal measures
which are contrary to the received law of
the last three-quarters of a century are
the same kind of remedy as the violence
of the strikers, though put in action by the
friends and defendants of law and order
If it should ever come to push of pike
the employees are far more numerous than
the employers or the employing class. In
timidation and brute force outside of or
in strikes are contrary to law and should
be dealt with by legal process. The truth
is that these roundabout courts and the
whole system of injunction are used simply
because of the fear that jurieS will not
sustain convictions for personal violence;
the same defense is sometimes put forward
for lynchings If the national and State
governments will stick to normal legal
peaceful methods they can put ordinary
strikers in the wrong and violent strikers
in the penitentiary. To adopt their methods
is to make law and justice cross over and
occupy the offenders goal line.

satisfactory to labor-or any other serious
strike.
The two main reasons for setting up
this unusual tribunal were that coal and
transportation were so essential to the life
of the community that an unusual and
precedent breaking method was called for
and that the court was to act as an arbitral
body between employers and employees.
The net effect, however was that workmen
in the specified industries were held to a
specific performance of their labor con-
tract. Or, to restate the issue, having en-
tered the employment of certain corpora
tions they were deprived of the privilege to
strike. method practiced in the United
States perhaps a thousand times year
and the only kind of leaving off work that
would affect the employers mind.
What was the penalty? The statute
makes strike punishable by imprison-
ment; that is, for probably the first time
In its history, the State of Kansas has un-
dertaken to punish two or more men who
agree. together not to give specific per-
formance of a labor contract.
Furthermore the decision of the court is
and is enforceable by fining or imprison-
ment or both. This is a unilateral penalty,
for 1t is very hard TO imprison corpora
ton and very easy to imprison individuals
1t does not appear that any penalty that
hurts has been laid on employers, whereas
there have been severe penalties against
the striker.
The whole system has been reinforced by
method which the State authorities have
ignored. Observers on the spot however
testify that the local governments were
encouraged and melted to haul up as va
grants striking miners who had money to
live on--presumabIy their savings and
strike funds-and send them to prison on
the ground that they refused to work. This
abominable and essentially untruthful
course might logically extend to any indi-
vidual who left employment and did not
find or seek another job even though he
was not charged with conspiracy.
The trouble with the Kansas method and
with the injunction method and with the
compulsory arbitration method is that they
all depend for their success on prosecuting
convicting and imprisoning men whose real
transgresslon is that they refuse to work
on terms acceptable to the employers
Can any means be found to meet that diff
ficulty?
One means undoubtedly is to give aid and
protection to non-strikers who are willing
to take the jobs. 1t is very doubtful
whether mining. for instance, is really so
highly skilled that new staff of green
men could not learn the trade in six
months. Conducting and braking also are
not very technical; but if all the locomotive
engineers and fremen should strike where
would the food supply for our cities be?
Are these difficulties a reason for revers-
ing the general trend of decisions for a
hundred years to the effect that peaceful
strike is not unlawful? Would the coun-
