STRIKES MUST GO TO COURT
Kansas Points JVith Pride te Her Recerd in Settling Industrial Disputes
ONE of the greatest needs of this
country is a fair and just way of
settling disputes between labor and
capital se that strikes may be done away
with. That need has been borne in upon all
of us mere strongly in the last few years
than ever before. Ne class needs this mere
than the laborers themselves, whose lead
ers, pursuing the archaic methods of the
strike, have brought upon them untold
hardships and miseries.
In this country there is work enough for
every able-bodied man, trained and un
trained, at a wage that will supply all his
needs and be fair and just te him and te his
employer. Notwithstanding this fact there
have been 25,000 strikes in this country in
the last three years and they have affected,
directly or indi
rectly, millions of
people and have
been productive of
enough sheer waste te buy and pay for a
comfortable homefer every man who went
en strike.
Net only that, but ever 90 per cent of
these strikes failed of the purposes for
which they were called and the less than 10
per cent of se-called successful strikes did
net produce enough from their victory te
pay back te the laboring men what it cost
them te be en strike.
Net only are strikes costly te the men
who engage in them but they lay a heavy
burden en the public. In the Middle West
today the farmer is suffering from the waste

tarded the move
ment of his farm
produce and affected his marketing condi
tions. He had already been paying a great
tell te the transportation companies in high
freight rates. The deal strike slewed him
down, tee, and today ever all the Middle
West the farmer, brought into grim contact
with the waste of labor strikes, is demanding
that the ever-recurring quarrels between
labor and capital shall be solved through
some ether method than the strike, shall be
taken in charge and settled by responsible
government that will give justice te all
parties affected by the controversy, includ
ing the public.
The Kansas Court of Industrial Rela
tions is an arm of government which is
settling labor disputes in that very way.
It was created out efthe emergency of a
coal strike, which left the people of Kansas
the helpless victims of a conflict in the
bringing en of which they had no part. The
question arose as te whether the state had
the moral right and the power te mine
coal. I believed it had, and I asked the
state supreme court te turn ever te the
state 60 or 70 million dollars' worth of
mining property. The chief justice, sur
prised at my request, pushed his glasses up
en his forehead, looked at me in wonder wender
ment and asked: "On what allegations?"
I replied: "Well, judge, en any allegations
you think would work."
