Industrial Court Begins Investi-
CATION of Railroad Strike.
Members of Court VIII Go to
Various Shop Towns.
TO NEWTON and HORTON FIRST
Witnesses From Both Sides
Will Be Called Soon.
Safety of Equipment Will Be
Taken Up First.
TO NEWTON and HORTON FIRST

In its statewide investigation of the
railroad strike, the Kansas court of
industrial relations will have no set
schedule for hearings, but the mem
bers of the court, or special commits
sioners, will go to the points where
matters seem most urgent. This was
the statement made today by Judge
]. A. McDermott of the court.
In all probability the first investi-
cation will be made at Newton, and
members Of the court may leave to-
night for that point. Horton, where
the latest trouble has developed, may
be one of the points where an investi-
cation will be made in the next few
days.
To Summon Both Sides.
In the Investigations witnesses from
both sides are to be summoned, rail-
road officials, strikers and strike
breakers, and all phases of the strike
merits of the controversy, which is
before the national labor board and
which is out of the jurisdiction of the
Kansas tribunal.
In all probability one of the first
matters to be taken up will be that
of the safety of the equipment of the
roads. Not only does this come under
the jurisdiction of the court in that 1t
may determine the reasona bleness of
workers in refusing to handle trains.
that was unsafe, the workmen's COM
pensation laws might be affected.
Many Charges Filed.
Numerous charges have been filed
regarding methods employed by strik-
ers in efforts to tie up transportation
in this state. All phases of the shop
strike disturbance will be gone into by
the labor court. Plans have already
been made for numerous arrests of
men against whom evidence is being
gathered.
1t is asserted that many of the Of
fenses charged against strikers con-
stitute felony under the Kansas law.
In some instances men who have not
secured naturalization papers are
charged with crimes. In these cases
a statement concerning their activities
may be submitted to federal authori-
ties with requests for deportation.
Watch Coal Strike.
In addition to making its plans for
the rail investigation. the court today
was keeping close tab on the coal
strike situation, and it appeared that
the general impression in state house
circles was that Kansas coal miners
and operators would soon reach an
agreement similar to the agreement
reached in Cleveland yesterday.
