with the Hillsdale Citizens Associa
tion in an attempt to push the de-
mand that such drainage system
be put in at the earliest possible
moment.

tions annual tournament July 4.

GOMFERS GLAD KANSAS
COURT HIT BY DECISION
Labor Held From Outset Indus
trial Tribunal Was Illegal,
He Declares.

Labor is glad to see the Kansas in-
dustrial court fall by the wayside.
This was one comment of President
Samuel Gompers Of the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor in a statement issued
on the decision of the Supreme Court In
the case of the Kansas court OF INDUS
trial relations, holding part OF the
state law unconstitutional. 80
Labor maintained at the outset that
the Kansas law was in violation of the
Constitution, because it imposed COM
pulsory labor.
IF it is permissible to regard the rea-
sonipg of the court as an indication OF
n tendency to lift the hand of political
influence from the Industrial world. we
may express some measure OF satisfac-
tion. However 1t is dtffics,lt to divorce
this most recent opinion from the opin-
ion in the child labor case. after which
there is no other conclusion, to be
reached except that anything Is within
the realm of possibilities where Su-
preme Court decisions are concerned"
