THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, JULY 23, 1922 IK LIS WAY I HMIi STRIKE Governor Explains Working '. of State Tribunal. MEN ARE PROTECTED Cnder Industrial Law Essential Industry Cannot Be Halted '.. by Labor Walkout. BY HENRY J. ALLEN, Governor of the State of Kansas. (Copyright, 1922, by The Ore&onian.) TOPEKA. Kan., July 22. (Spe cial.) In Kansas the industrial court act provides for the protection of the public against the cessation of an essential industry. Coal mining is an essential industry. The industrial act provides an im perial tribunal of three men, whose business it is to adjudicate contro versies between operators and min ers when the two parties cannot long-fir agree. The law also pro vides, as a last resort, that the state may take over the coal mines and operate them in the public in terest for the purpose of protecting the people against famine in fuel. The court has the power to fix min imum wage scales, to protect those who are at work against Interfer ence in any form, either by violence, threats, intimidation or so-called peaceful picketing. Temporary Order Issued. In Kansas, immediately prior to the cessation of mining; on April 1, the court of industrial relations made a temporary order permitting the continuance of the old wage scale and working conditions for a period of 80 days to enable the operators and miners to begin, and, if possible, conclude, negotiations for a new contract. The operators did not object to such an order and offered to begin negotiations Immediately. The miner leaders de clined the benefits of such an order. The industrial court then directed the operators to resume mining for the purpose of meeting the Kansas demand as it arose, guaranteeing protection to the mines and to the workers. The operations were re sumed at once, with the understand ing that the mine owners could keep a sufficient number of prop erties operating to produce all the coal needed for Kansas domestic and industrial uses. Protection Is Guaranteed. If the operators themselves failed in this, then the state would take over the mines. The state guaran tees that the men who are work ing in the mines Bhall have full protection from those who are out and -that an invasion of the rights of any man who is at work by a striker will be promptly punished. Troops have not been needed to protect the rights of the men who are at work. As the demand for coal increases, more mines are opened and the number oil men willing to work grows every day. There has been in these opera tions no controversy aB to wages.. The operators and the men now at work have agreed to a rate of com pensation wnicn seems entirely sat isfactory to both Bides. It has been understood from the beginning that' if any complaint was made as to compensation the industrial court would take the situation in hand and determine the minimum" wage. When the operators realized that the men would be protected against an unfair wage and the men real ized; that they could depend upon the state for a just adjudication they have settled the question for themselves without 'coming to the court, just as men In other con troversies settle their litigation out of court upon a basis of what they know their legal rights to be. Impartial Judges, Used. Art industrial court is an effort to secure the composition of the controversy by impartial judges who have no interest in the case except the interest of justice. Impartial judges have been able in this country to secure justice in relation to the most sacred rights. They pass upon property, liberty, life. They regulate the relations of parent and child, of husband and wife. The most Intimate and minute rights of the citizen pass under the survey of men chosen to guarantee Justice to all. If government may guarantee to people justice in all these matters, it Is rather un American to believe that govern ment could not also guarantee Jus tice to men in their controversy witn tneir employers. The efforts which the federal government has thus far made at legislation have stopped just where the fullness of such legislation might begin. In the United States labor board an elaborate machin ery has been created for the sur vey of living conditions, the inves tigation of wages and working con dltions. Every power has been given the board to arrive at all the facts and to have In hand the means of reaching a Just award. After creat ing this elaborate machinery the ledaral government left out the en gine. They gave it no power of final decision. They simply created an expensive - debating society which represents only the longings of gov ernment, with none of its dignity ana power. The proposal that the government should create an impartial tribunal to pass upon wage controversies re lates, of course, only to the essen tial industries, which, under the Kansas law, are declared to be food, fuel, clothing and transportation. ISSUES REMAIN CLOUDED tontinufl From First Pa.) and arrive at a etate of strong con viction aboutylt. As to this'element of time, the democratic leaders have- been; of two minds. Some of them have thought it wo-uld be well to limit, debate on the tariff, to get it passed and get it before the public early enough to make it the party's principal issue in the coming con gressional elections. . . Another'section of the party lead ership has held that the congres sional elections are relatively un important this year; that it would be a doubtful advantage for the democrats to get a majority in the house anyhow, and that the party would do much better to let the de bate drag along, thus postponing the tariff as an issue until the presi dential election two years from now. By that time the public will be fa miliar with the tariff, and also the possibility which will exst In. that year of carrying not only, congress but the presidency would appeal to the democrats as of greater Im portance. ' . Business Is Improving. It is always true, in all elections, that whatever happens to be the business condition of the country during the campaign Is not a party Issue, but nevertheless a determin ing influence on the elections. A year ago, when the prices of farm produots were very low, when it seemed certain that this condition would continue for a considerable time and would gradually infect the other industries of the country at that time the democrats counted confidently on having hard times as one of the chief of their allies dur ing the ooming campaign. Hewever, the decline in the prices of farm products was checked and the whole economic sequence of de pression was short-circuited by the work of the war finance corporation in loaning eome hundreds of mil lions of dollars to distressed persons and institutions in the farming com munities. Partly as a result of that, and partly as a result of other fac tors business conditions in the coun try are commonly good and growing better. It is confidently asserted now by the republican leaders that when election day comes there will not be an unemployed man in the country at least none unemployed who wants to work. , Sinister Possibilities Seen. Against this promise of hope on the part of the republicans lies the sinister possibilities of the various strikes .either now existing or likely to arise. Also it is true that, omit ting the element of strikes, there is a school of business men who say the present good conditions in busi ness are less dependable in their certainty of being maintained and less sound in their foundations than is commonly assumed. Those business men say the pres ent activity Is most general In two fields and rests chiefly on two causes: One is the activity in the building trades, which rests on. the necessity of catching up on the de ficit of buildings which were needed but which were not built during the war and during the interval since the war. The other element in the present business activity consists of public works, chiefly the building of roads. This work has been stimu lated by unprecedentedly large flo tations of bonds by states and mu nicipalities. This latter condition is, of course,- not a normal part of the ordinary year-to-year volume of business of the country. , The school which lays emphasis on this claims that the present ac tivity does not take in the. textile trades and various other lines of business. They apprehend .that as soon as we have caught up with the deficit in the building trades and as soon as the proceeds of recent bond issues have been laid out, we shall be face to face with a less prosper ous condition of business. It is ap parent, however, that, barring strikes, business will continue to be good until after the election. What is to happen thereafter will consti tute an influence, not on the present elections, but on the presidential election two years from now. Bonus Issue Clouded. As regards the bonus, there is no clear issue between the parties. Both in the senate and In the house the great bulk of the membership of both parties will vote in favor of it will vote in favor of it without much conviction that it is good, but chiefly because they feel there is a little more political advantage to be gained in their home districts by voting for it than by voting against it This, incidentally. Is a condition that is changing gradually. Among the voters throughout the country, and among those who influence pub lic opinion, the strength of the op position to the bonus is steadily growing, and by election time; as to any one district, a vote in favor of the bonus may be as much a liability an asset. Similarly, leaders of the opposition to the bonus in the senate include such good republic ans as Borah cf Idaho and Nelson of Minnesota, standing sir- by side with such good democrwa) as Glass of Virginia and Williams of Missis sippi. As to the bonus, assuredly, there is no clear issue between the parties. It is too early to tell yet whether the ship subsidy1 will be an issue that will engage the imagination. and lead to widespread conviction' on the part of the voters through out the . country. The universal testimony of the members of the lower house of congress, who are now spending their vacation in sounding out public opinion, is that' not much is being thought or said about the ship subsidy among the voters. So far as anything is being said, there appears to be more op position to- it than favor for it. Subsidy Republican Issue. Of course, the ship subsidy is clearly and definitely a republican issue. Harding has put his heart into if. to. a degree greater than he has committed himself to almost anything else. If the ship subsidy actually comes to debate in the house or in -the senate, or in both. before they adjourn and before the election it is quite conceivable that it may form one of the major Issues. Among the voters and the people prohibition is, of course,-a real issue. It is one question upon which all the people have definite convictions and definite wishes. But as between the republicans and the democrats, it is not'a party issue. It will be a local issue in several senatorial elections and in a great many congressional elections. But in eome localities "dry republicans" will be running against "wet democrats;" and in some other districts "wet republic ans" will be running against "dry democrats." The net of it all is that the leaders of both parties seem to hesitate to make a set of clear-cut isslies. It would seem that it ought to be easy for President Harding, or for Chair man Adams of the republican na tional committee, or for Lodge as the republican leader of the senate, or for Senator McCormick, who Is chairman of the committee which has charge of the election of repub lican senators, to call a conference of the leaders and then to make a speech or give out a letter which would constitute the republican po sition on what used to be called in other "campaigns "the Issues 01 the day." '. .. Leadership Is Lacking. It would seem to be equally easy for Chairman Hull of the democratic national committee, or Senator Underwood, who is the democratic leader of the senate; or Senator Harrison, who is a kind of unoffi cial democratic leader of the senate, to confer with ex-President Wilson and agree upon a statement of Issues and to give it out as a set of reasons why voters should favor the democratic party in November. But T.he fact is that in neither party does there seem to be the sort of leader, or the sort of agreement among leaders, as to what the Issues ought to be, such as would make this kind of enlightenment of the public possible. - Finally it will be of interest to the future historian to observe that it was possible to write this article on the issues of the election of 1922 and write it with reasonable com pleteness, it is hoped without men tioning the words 'league of nations." FIGHT OfH WILSON DENIED BY REED Breckinridge Long Opposes Missouri Senator. LIVELY CONTEST IS ON Millionaire Oil Man, Seeking Nomination, Wants Light Wines and Beer. ' ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 22. James A. Reed, United States senator, says he has never fought ex-President Wilson. He has been telling his au diences this in his campaign for re nomination at the August 1 primary election in this etate. 'V His opponent, Breckinridge Long, third assistant secretary of state in the Wilson administration, on the other hand, has been referring to th fact that Senator Reed was read out of the party by the 1920 demo cratic state convention because of his attitude toward, the ex-president. Outside of telling his audiences not to allow "outsiders" to instruct them how to vote. Senator Reed has but infrequently referred to the let ters Mr. Wilson sent into Missouri urging Senator Reed's defeat. In asserting he has" not fought Wilson. Mr. Reed has emphasized that his actions in the senate were guided by what he believed the wishes of his constituents in Mis souri. People Declared Only Boss. "My only boss is the people of this great state," the senator has been telling his audiences, then, with a grin, adding "and my wife." Mr. Long says he is content to let the forthcoming primary decide whether Mr. Reed was correct in his construction of the wishes of Mis souri demoorats. . Mr. Long has the support of the drys, while Mr. Reed has been fought vigorously by the prohibi tion element and a certain contin gent of women., voters for his stand on the suffrage question. The Reed-Long fight has over shadowed every other contest. Rob ert I. Young of St. Joseph also is seeking the nomination, but he has not been conducting an active cam paign. t " Hix Candidates In Field. Six candidates are seeking the republican senatorial nomination. They, with thumbnail sketches of their platforms, are: Jesse W. Barrett, present attorney-general of Missouri, a man of progressive tendencies, and a de clared advocate of some sort of as sociation of nations. Law enforce ment explains his stand on prohi bition. , R. R. Brewster of Kansas City, an announced thorough-going party man. He has the support of the "old guard" party' organization. . David M. Proctor, also of Kansas City, is an admitted enemy of the party "bosses." William Sacks, millionaire oil man, and a score of years ago a $75 a month postal clerk, is conducting his campaign on this platform: "Light wines and beer. Less talk and more business in congress." John C, McKinley of Unlonville is of announced liberal tendencies, and has been conducting his campaign by mail. Colonel John M. Parker of Jeffer ' n barracks, soldier candidate, has Enounced himself as favorable to iight wines and beer.. "One Term Enough." Congressional candidates in each of the 16 districts of the state will be nominated. All present incum bents, except Representative Samuel A. Shelton, republican, of the 16th district, are seeking renomination. Mr. Shelton, who is completing his first term, said "one term is enough," adding that he believed the people wanted "less talk and more action in congress." Representatives H. F. Lawrence of the third district, Charles L. Faust, fourth; William O. Atkeson. sixth; Sid C. Roach, eighth; Theo dore W. Hukriede, ninth; Marion E. Rohdes, 13th, and Edward D. Hays. 14th, are without opposition. All are republicans. The voters also will nominate candidates for circuit, appellate and supreme court judgeships; state su perintendent of schools, state sen ator and representative, and for county and local offices.

Dewey, an em ploye at the Giant powder works, today. And as if it was Intended that this sequel to the sensational story of six months ago should bring all the surviving principals again to the scene, H$hry Heuer, the boy who shot Manuel Cabral, returned Friday from the long sea voyage on" which he embarked to forget the tragedy. Heuer was not seen by Mrs. Cabral and her second husband, however. He returned to visit his parents, who sacrificed their old home for the expenses' his trial.

In a confession he asserted that Mrs. Cabral had expressed an affectionate regard for him. She afterward denied this. Heuer was acquitted by. a jury March 30, after trial at Martinez. The defense was the novel one that the boy did not know the difference between right and wrong. At the suggestion of the trial judge, Heuer shipped out as a sea man on the Standard Oil tanker H. M.

With the certainty that the proposed amendment to the state constitution requiring all children of school age to attend the puDilc schools will not be submitted to the state's vot ers at the November election, inter est in the campaign now centers in the three-cornered republican race for the United State senatorial nomination at the state-wide pri mary September 12, regarded by Michigan politicians as one of the most Important campaigns in the country this year. School BiU Withheld. The proposed amendment, known as the anti-parochial school meas ure, was withheld for the election next spring. This measure was expected to vie with the senatorial race for interest throughout the state. Three candidates are In the field. Senator Charles E. Townsend, vet eran senator from Michigan, expo nent of a lake-to-ocean waterway, and one of the-vmost prominent members of his partyin Washing ton, is defending his' seat against two aspirants. One of these is Patrick H. Kelley of Lansing, congressman from the sixth congressional district. The other is Major John G. Emery of Grand Rapids, former national commander of the American Legion. The issues In the Michigan cam paign promise to be sharply drawn. with theneating of Senator Truman H- Newberry, Junior senator from Michigan, as one of the chief battle cries of Senator Townsend's oppo sition, especially in the camp of Representative Kelley. The senior. Michigan senator, upheld his rival In the senate when he was under fire following charges' of unlawful campaign expenditures. Senator Stands on Record. Senator Townsend is seeking re nomination on his record at Wash ington. His supporters hail him as the father of the . lakes-to-ocean waterway idea, and point out that he has Worked long and earnestly in behalf of this project. Among his friends are many long-time repub licans of this state, which has been strongly republican. Friends of Representative Kelley are campaigning with the assertion he is of the "progressive" type of republicans. Major Emery hopes for the solid support of former service men. He came Into prominence when chosen head of the American Legion upon the death of Frederick W. Galbraith Jr. last year, serving in that ca pacity until the last national con vention of the legion. Major Emery served as an officer with the American expeditionary forces. Before entering the service he was In business at Grand Rapids. Major Kmery Conducts Campaign. Each ot the three candidates pro poses to enter every county in the state during the campaign. Major Emery at present is conducting his' campaign in the upper peninsula. Representative Kelley has opened his campaign in the. southern part of the state. Senator. Townsend has given his first campaign speeches in southern Michigan, and plans a whirlwind campaign during August. Senator Townsend. in a recent Detroit address, answered those who have criticised him for his stand on the Newberry question, saying: "It is not the use but the abuse of money that should be condemned in election campaigns. Expenditure of a single dollar to bribe a single voter is a detestable crime. Ex penditure of a single penny to cor rectly inform a single voter is a commendable and justifiable act of good citizenship. - r "The people not only are entitled to know but must be fully informed as to the candidates themselves, their qualificationss and what they stand for, else they cannot exercise the right of suffrage intelligently on election day. Reasonable cam paign expenditures,-when honestly made for the political information of the people, are not wrongful, but are necessary to Insure an Intelli gent exercise of the right of suffrage."

Department of agriculture statis tics just Issued show these countries' crops of wheat will aggergate about 2.753,386,000 bushels this year, com pared with 2,724,506,000 bushels last year, and with a five-year average ending with 1913 of 2.557.577 000 bushels. Russia was not Included in the estimates. Wheat acreage for the countries for which statistics are available is about 191,000,000 acres, which shows a general de crease compared with 1321.
