KANSAS COURT WILL
REMAIN TWO YEARS

TOPEKA, Kan, June 29.-The su-
preme courts decision against the
Kansas Industrial court makes Aliens
venture pOwerless to do further harm,
but the court will continue for two
years, as the legislature has apprc-
priated sufficient funds to pay the
salaries of the judges and their ret
inue Of attorneys, department heads,
statisticians, and Investigators. These
will continue In office until 1926 un-
less Governor Davis can induce a hos
tile legislature to repeal the law.
According to the supreme courts
decision, the industrial court can not
set wages or enforce its decisions.
These office holders will have moth
ing to do the next two years but listen
to frenzied taxpayers object to a use
less expense.
Most of these objectors, however,
were cheering Governor Allen when
jammed the law through the state leg
islature, and the public was assured
that hereafter it would not be incon-
venienced by workers so unreasonable
as to demand higher wages.
During this hubbub Allen was at
the pinnacle of his fame as a side
show statesman. He was acclaimed
by those who now demand that both
he nd his works be kicked off the
state payroll.

WARD'SABORPOLICV
CURTAILS BUSINESS

Sale Of Ward Baking company prod
ucts, both bread and cakes, is going
down because Of the company's fight
against the union bakers who have
been locked out since May 1, in the
Ward plans throughout the country.
The Bakery & Confectionery Work
ers' International union reports that
the bread output in Wards Pittsburg
plant No. l has dropped 10000 loaves
a day. Stale bread, formerly sold at
$50 ton, now brings $12, and some
of 1t n used as fuel. Pennsylvania
union miners are backing the Bakers
and are making it hot for Wards
salesmen.
In Cleveland the campaign against
Ward goes hand in hand with the
signing up of more shops for the
union. Nearly 100 union bakeries are
now operating in that city. In New
England the Sells-Floto circus can
celled its bread order given to Ward
before the lockout against the union
was instituted In Newark, the bak-
ers have an advertising auto follow
ing the auto that carries the Ward
publicity. Ten new shops have been
signed up by Chicago locals.

STATE OF MISSOURI
WITHOUT WOREMEN
COMPENSATION LAW
ls One Of Less Than Half Dozen Lack
Ing In Adequate Protection
for Her Workers.

For two years or more at least Mis-
souri, will hold the distinction OF being
the only Industrial state without a
workmen's compensation law. The
general assembly refused to enact in
to law either OF the bills proposed
during he sessin.
With the tremendous expansion of
industry and the costly common law
methods OF dealing with industrial ac-
cidents and the experience of so many
states as a guide, one would expect
Missouri would provide some reason
able system of relief for those injured
and the dependents of those killed In
her industries. But the combination
against compensation legislation was
too powerful. The liability insurance
companies, personal injury lawyers
and certain employers blocked their
passage and Missouri stands where
she stood at the beginning, apparent
ly Indifferent to those engaged In ex-
tra-hazardous occupations. except for
the questionable protection afforded
by the common law and It's rules of
"contributory negligence" negligence
of a fellow-seryant," assumption of
risk" etc.
Twice in former sessions the assem-
bly, passed bills which were referred
to the vote OF the people under the
referendum provision of the state con-
stitution. They fell by the wayside.
The state is one of the less than
hlaIf
wealths without adequate protection
for her workers, and where those time
worn and unhonored rules of the COM
mon law will still be heard in the law
courts and where juries will be called
on to try "impartially and according
to the evidence given you In the case"
and when the evidence is all in and
the case completed, perhaps they will
compromise the matter with regard to
equities in order to get out of stuffy
jury room and into a more wholesome
atmosphere.
The absence of fair compensation
law will not be the best kind of ad-
vertising for Missouri. especially this
year Tremendous construction pro-
grams are under way and already
there is a shortage of skilled labor
which threatens to become acute very
shortly Workers acquainted with the
fact that Missouri does not afford pro-
lection to thos engaged in extra-haz-
ardous occupations will not be attract
ed to that state when there Is plenty
of work elsewhere. Also, labor or
ganizations have a habit of inform
ing their memberships of the exist
ence or non-existence of legislation
which they deem essential for their
protection.-Ex

LIMITING HOURS OF
LABOR BILL IS JOKE

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, June 2S.-The
women's eight-hour bill, recently
passed by the state house of repre-
sentatives, has been turned into a
weapon of oppression by the senate
Organized labor has discovered the
Joker" but is confident majority of
the senators will acknowledge they
were caught mapping.
Senator Hicks of Rockford induced
his colleagues to amend the house
bill by authorizing the state indus
trial commission to make rules for
the work day in various industries.
The plan also provides that a court
may pass upon the commissions $
orders
"The power conferred upon the
commission is of such a peculiar ma
ture that 1t may, on one extreme,
authorize the employment of women
and girls in certain places IL or Ia
hours day or even longer, while, il
1t chooses to go to the other ex-
treme, it may. in effect, practically
bar women and girls from certain en-
ployments. In some respects. there
fore, the Hicks amendment would set
up an Industrial court whose regula-
tory or prohibitiVe powers, through
the chancery Jurisdiction Of the reg
ular courts, might ultimately be d.
rected against the persons of thb
women and girls instead of only
against the firms and corporations
which employ them.
There is some evidence, however,
that the Hicks amendment was adopt
ed by the senate without any clear
understanding of its terms"

Before more than 500 agricultural
leaders, farmers, governors, congress-
men, bankers and business men, rep
resenting wheat producers and allieo
industries, who met in Chicago last
week to discuss what might be done
to increase demand for American
crops and insure better prices for
growers, Senator Capper made the
following statement:
Il am convinced that the general
situation in regard to agriculture has
improved. It would have been hard
for 1t to become worse. During the
latter part Of 1922 prices OF farm prod
ucts began to go up. With the excep-
tion Of wheat and hogs, they have
continued upward this year. But wheat
is stfll selling away below the cost
Of production In Kansas. Last week
the millers were paying only 80 cents
bushel for the best grade of hard
red winter wheat. The consumer is
not getting the benefit of the ruinous
prices received by tn producer, the
spread between the farmers 9O-cent
wheat and the consumers 10-cent loaf
OF bread is entirely too great. II we
can shorten the road between pro-
Queer and consumer think the public
will eat more wheat. The wheat rails
er must have a larger proportion of
the retail sale value Of wheat prod
ucts or the most of them will be fore
ed out Of business in year or two"

Proposed Aemndment.
The proposed amendment will be
the twentieth amendment to the Con-

posed. It reads as follows:
'The Congress shall have concur
rent power with the several states to
regulate and prohibit the employment
of labor of children under 16 years
Of age, the several states retaining
their existing powers with respect to
such regulation and prohibition, SUBJ
ject to the limitation that no employ

PENNSYLVANIA PAYS
FOR IMPROVEMENTS

The necessity for government oper-
alton of railroads during the war is
shown by the announcement that the
government and the Pennsylvania
railroad have adjusted differences on
the amount due the government be-
cause of improvements made while 1t
was operating the system.
The railroad agrees to pay $90,000,.
900 to the government. The railroads
operate through the eastern munition
manufacturing territory. and the gov
ernment spent large amounts in ex-
tending terminals. building new tracks
and adding equipment.

RAILROADS ASKING
PUBLIC SUPPORT

WASHINGTON. Jun 29.-The rail-
roads are appealing for popular sup
port to retain the transportation act
and to oppose any change in the valu-
alton system of the interstate COM
merce commission.
Already the battle lines are drawn
for the clash that will start with the
opening of congress, next December.
Railroad officials are making speech
es and being intervitwed and are
printing large advertisements in the
newspapers strategically located.
The recent railroad valuation con-
ference at Chicago, presided over by
Senator LaFollette, Is the match to
the powder keg. Thirteen years ago
Senator La Toilette secured the pass
age of law which authorized the in
terstate commerce commission to
place valuation on the railroads, and
he Is now charged with repudiating
this law.
Senator La Toilette and his asso-
ciates in the valuation conference re-
ply that they are not objecting to a
genuine valuation Of the railroads, but
they do object to including fictitious
values that have been pumped into
the companies. These values are re-
sponsible for increased freight rates
and around this point will revolve the
fight that will start with the opening
of congress next December.
From now on men who have been
in the forefront of the great liberal
and progressive forces of this coun-
try will be painted every hue of red
by railroad financIers and their re-
tainers.

NAVY YARD WORKERS
GRANTED INCREASE

An increase Of 10 per cent over the

recommended By the wage board OF
the navy in its report Of a new scale
for yard employees, effective on the
1st Of July. Details Of the changes
as they affect individual yards have
been sent to the commandants Of the
yards and will be announced by them.
The discouraging feature Of the in
crease granted is that the personnel
of the yards may be greatly reduced.

NEW LEGAL BUREAU
PROTECT WAGE
WORKERS INTEREST

A legal and statistical bureau to
supply facts and figures In Industrial
controversies and to provide Iegad ad-
vice for industrial workers and farm
ers in their personal affairs has been
organized In Oregon with Portland as
headquarters.
The bureau will furnish advice to
working people in legal matters. It
is designed primarily to protect the
rights OF workers in their dealings
with employers but viii also supply
advice in probate and other matters
in which working people have occa-
sion to seek legal advice.
The venture has the endorsement Of
numerous officials Of organized labor,
representatives Of farmers, organiza-
tions and progressive persons active
in other walks of life.
The service is to be available to
farmers as well as to workers and 1t
is the hope of promoters to make
this another link in bringing together
the forces Of farmers and workers In
a program Of mutual benefit. The
farmers are coming to understand
that the workers are not their en-
emies and that both groups are be-
ing exploited by the same interests.
The bureau has no connection with
the Farmer-Labor political party as
some have thought through the simi-
larity Of the names of the bureau and
the party. The purpose Of the bureau
is to function as a. Industrial and an
economic agency
Fred Ross Of the Railway Carmen,
who led the fight of the Federated
Shop crafts in Portland, is the moving
spirit IN the organization of the bu-
reau and B. A. Green will direct the
legal department. The bureau is to
be known officially as the Farmer
