not Fix Wages.

Washington, June 1.-THE Kansas
law creating a state industrial rela.

far as it attempted TO fix wages in
packing houses. Chief Justice Taft,
delivering the decision in case
brought by the Charles Wolff Packing
company of Topeka, said the law in
that respect was in conflict with the

company of its property and liberty

Cannot Compel Arbitration.


"An ordinary producer. manufac-
turer or shopkeeper may sell or not
sell, as he likes, and while this fea-
ture does not necessarily exclude busi-
nesses from the class clothed with a
public interest, it usually dis
tinguishes private from quasi-puf'ic
occupations"
The industrial act was aimed to
compel arbitration through state
board whose decision was to be final.
in all essential industries. and thus
insure continuity of production.
Pointing out that the law permitted
the employer, who was dissatisi
with the decision Of the court to go
out of business. and the dissatisfied
workman to quit. provided he did not
agree with his fellows 10 do so or
combine with others TO induce them
to quit Chief Justice Taft said the
essential of the statute eurtailed the
right of the employer on the one
hand and Of the employe on the
other. to contract about their af
fairs. This is part Of the liberty OF
the individual protection by the guar
anty of the due process clause OF the
fourteenth amendment, he said.
Must Not BE Arbitrary.
While there is no such thing as
absolute freedom OF contract. and II is
subject TO a variety OF restraints. they
must not be arbitrary or unreason-
able"
While the law directed to prevent
strikes in those industries producing
food. fuel and clothing. or in the
transportation Of such articles. and
all public utilities and common car
riers. It was defended by the state
on the ground that the preparation
Of food was affected by a public in

power OF the legislature to so declare
