PIT UNDER ARREST
William Alien White Held As
Vrlator of Industrial
"Court Law.
r
Emporia, Kan. A warrant was serv
ed on William Allen White, author
and editor, charging him with viola
tion of the industrial court law In
displaying a placard sympathizing
with the striking railroad shopmen.
Several days ago Mr. White posted
the placard in a window of his news
paper office, the Gazette. The yellow
poster announced "We are for the
striking railroad man 50 per cent." Mr.
White said he would add 1 per cent
each day as the shopmen's strike con
tinued, declaring "the right to free
utterance of honest opinions is a
fundamental right."
But Governor Allen, his friend, pub
licly and personally for many years,
and the companion of the editor on
a European trip during the world war,
differed in his interpretation of the
Industrial court act. He held that dis
playing the sympathy card in the
QaSette window was a violation of the
picketing clause of the industrial court
law, and declared Mr. White had the
wrong "slant" in the matter.
The governor said he did not be

author friend contended, lie declared

White must be arrested for violation
of the law.

INFECTED WHEAT
Olympia, Wash. The state has no
authority to compel the owners of
weevil infected wheat, stored in bins
or special piles, to remove It to dis
infoct the warehouse, O. R. Schuman
assistant attorney general, held. The
warehouse company can, however, up
on the refusal of the owner to remove
the grain, terminate the storage con
tract and cause the wheat to be trans
ported. The opinion follows an in
quiry by R. R. White, chief state in
spector, in behalf of the Pacific Coast
elevator, which operates grain ware
houses in all parts of Eastern Wash

come infected during storage period
of two years.
The warehouse company is not ati

were given by administration spokes
men Tuesday as the three funda

(ovarii the industrial crisis involved
in the coal and railroad strikes.
Tho first step toward control of
depleted transportation facilities and

direct the routing of all essential com

decided that the railroad labor board's
tattltory authority to determine wage

employes must be recognized and up
