ALLEN EET IN DEBATE ntly Enacted Kansas Industrial Court Law and Kindred Subjects—Gompers Contended That Law Forbidding Strikes Would Mean “Involuntary Servi- tude”—Gov. Allen Retorted by Declaring That the Law Merely Takes Away “Mr. Gompers’ Divine Right to Order a Man to Quit Work”—At the Close Mr. Gompers supreme law.” He declared that this was the funda- mental axiom upon which he and his supporters were working and which govi erned his attitude toward capital, labor and the disputes which arise between them. He asserted he was nof present as 2 representative of capital or labor but “as a representative of all of us—the general public.” He reviewed the labor troubles in Ken- sas last winter, laying especial emphasis on the coal strike and the alleged hard- ships resulting therefrom. “We have not forbidden to any man the right to quit work,” he asserted. “We merely have taken away from Mr. Gompers his divine right to order a man to quit work.” Governor Allen then referred to state- ments alleged to have been made by union leaders in the past. including Mr. Gompers, that “if you take away the ight to strike, we will find some other way." “‘Before the debate ceases tonight” he said, “I implome Mr. Gompers in behalf of the country that is waiting to know, what other. way he has tn mind.” Governor Allen outlined in detail the and operation of the Indus- system in effect in Kansas. | Speaking of its effect upon the industrial world, he said: We have taken away nothing from la- we have provided protection in all industrics, we have forbidden con- labor to come in competition Wwith other labor, we have established a free employment Service, we have provided an industrial welfare commission, We have provided that no injunction, wheth- interlocutory or permanent. in any s between employer and cmploves or | between persons employed, or personsi i seeking emplovment, growing out of a dispute concerning terms, conditions, etc., shail jssued without previous notice and an opportunity to be heard in behalf 1 of the party enjoined.

PRESBYTERIANS URGE THE EATIFICATION OF PEACE Philadelphia, May 28.—The United States was urged to ratify the peace treaty and join the League of Nations in tworesolutions adopted by the general as- sembly of the Presbyterian Church of the U. S. A. at its closing gession here to- day. One resolution, sponsored by Dr. Jumes Wallace, of McAlester college, St. Paul was protested by a number of tn2 com- missioners on the ground that it provok- ed partisan politics and that the denom- ination was violating its constitution in acting upon a political issue. After plac- ing the assembly on record as regretting the “long and dreary debate which has subjected the American people to the most humiliating criticism in their his- tory,” the resolution said the refusal of the United States to ratify the treaty was “an astounding fiasco.and has made this country the laughing stock of the world.” The other resolution vas that of Rev. Stanley White, secretary of the hoard of foreign missions, and urged upon con- gress immediate affirmative action fo en- able America to enter the League of Na- tions with of without reservations. It was adopted with an amendment which stated: ‘“‘Reservations to which no right- eous man could find objections.’ This resolution also urges American dnancial aid to Armenia. A An attack upon the publicity depart- ment of the assembly also featured to- day’'s session. Opposition started when it was proposeil to appropriate $60,000 to defray the expenses of the publicity de- partment and provide {\ publication of the New Era magazine during the en- suing year. : It was proposed that the appropriation be cut down, but a special commitice’ was appointed and its report submitted iater, fixing the appropriation at $60.000, was adopted. In order to meet this expense the per capita apportionment of com- municants was raised from 8 1-2 cents to 10 cents, which will also meet other charges of the church. A resolution was adopted urging the Presbyteries and synods to raise the pay of ministers and to provide homes for them, “insorder that they might be free from rent profiteers.” Another resolution passed expressed sympathy to the Prot- estants of Ireland and recommended a “hands off” policy for the United States government. v The New Era Movement came up again -today when the Rev. William H. Foulkes declared the action taken yes- terday in cutting the annual budget fom $900,000 to $400,000 would put - the movement out of business for a year. He asked that the $400,000 be provided for liquidating expenses and that addition- a Ifunds be provided for continuing the movement during the ensuing year. His suggestion -was adopted. 2 It was learned today that hotel accom- modations at Winona Lake, Ind., selected as next year's meeting place, may be inadequate and a special committee was appointed to go thereto ascertain condi- tions. The board of temperance and . morals ‘was authorized to conduct an investiga- tion into’ alleged shi; 8 ents of narcotic drugs from the United States to China. FINANCIAL SOURCES OF “INVISIBLE M'ADOO BOOM” Washington, Ma: ~—Though revert- ing twice into republican affairs, the sen- ate committee investighting’ expenditures in the pre-convention presidential con- gress bent its chief efforts today toward locating the financial sources—if any—of what Chairman Kenyon described as “this invisible McAdoo boom.” Angus Mciean -of North Carolina, a director of the War Finance corpordtion, denied that he “was a sort of southern manager for Mr. McAdoo's candidacy.” but later related a conversation he had with the former treasury secretary which he’ said was concluded with a statement by Mr. McAdoo that “a man couldn't de- cline” a presidential nomination if ten- dered him. Loiis J. Lang, reporter for f“e New York Amierican, -another ~witne.”, was questioned closely as to mewspaper arti- cles which he had written alleging that a §5.000.000 fund had been uderwritten for a McAdoo campaign. He refused to disclose names of his informants but said “members of the democratic national committee’ corroborated the stories. Chairman Kenyon announced the com- mittee had summoned others in connee- tion with this branch of the inquiry. In interiudes of the McAdoo testimony the committee took evidence from Frank A. Harrison, Lincoln, Neb., newspaper publisher, who said that $1,900 had been ®pent for Semator Johnson's = primary campaign in state. Te added that $1,800 of the total came from California supporters of the senator, with an in- junction “to hold down expenses hecauge We haven't got much to spend.” Harry M: Daugherty. manager of Sen- ator Harding’s campaign _organization was recalled ‘and questioned abont news. paper and other advertising furnished for Major General Leonard Wood's campaign in_Ohio, Which he classed as “very ex- tensive.” Mr. Harrison said the same Wwas true of the Nebraska Wood cam- paign. Mr. McLean's testimony today ~ dis- closed attempts of Mr. McAdoo's friends in New York to get together upon cam- paign efforts notwithstanding the injunc- tion of their principal. Mr. MeAdoo told him, the witness said, “that he wouldn't turn his hand over for it, was not a can- didate, and didn’t want his friends to get active.” Mr. McLean added tnat net- withstanding when there was a_dinner gathering 40 discuss the subject in New York “some fool went and told Mr. Me- Adoo about it.” B. M. Baruch, summoned early in inquiry to testify, was mun:?d m-t:; times in the queries of the committee members, and once by Mr. McLean, who said Mr. Baruch had agreed with the conclusion that “Mr. McAdoo was a good man for the nomination.” Mr. McAdoo's sole friendly declaration on the subject came, Mr. McLean said. when he told the former treasury head “that my statc is for you, but it would be absurd for us to be voting for a man who wouldn't accept the_nomination Chairman Kenyon put into the today a letter from James McClurg Guf- fey of Pittsbuigh, denying that he had ever contributed any money to the fund raised for Attorney General Palmer’ campaign. Joseph F. Guffey of Pitts. burgh had been previously identified as the contributor of $10.000 to the Patmer campaign_in the testimony by former Federal Judge J. Harry Covington, the Palmer campaign treasurer. FPRENCH TROOPS ARREST 200 PROMINENT TURKS Constantinople, May 25. i colutmn that Jeft Adans May HHifoe B death and ome eivilian wounded.

P.) President Wilson's conception of thé campaign issues of 1920 was elucidated today in a letter made public aut 'the White House expressing the president's full accord with the sentiments contain- ed in the platform recently adopted by the Virginia democratic convention. The league of nations plank, which declared for ratification of the treaty of . Versailles “without reservation which would impair its essential integ- rity’” was particularly commended by the president. He also singled out for praise the platform’s declarations on fi- nance and reconstruction, which in- cluded a general proposal to Tevise tas laws and geplored agitation for “an iu Qiscriminate bonus” for soldiers of the great war. The letter was addressed to Senator Glass of Virginia, who drafted the state platform, and its’ publication from the White House generally was regarded as forecasting what the president and his supporters would expect to be written into the party's national platform at San Francisco. The national plaiform was not mentioned directly by the pres- ident, though he wrote that the Virginia democrats had “set forth the attitude o the party” on the league of nations and other important issues. S Br The league plank occupies a large place in the Virginia platform, embrac- ing a declaration for “a league of na- tions,” and praising ‘“the exceptional achievement at Paris involved in the adoption of a league and treaty so near akin to the American ideals.” The pres- ident is praised for “steadfastly stand- ing for the covenant agreed to” and the republican reservations and peace res- olution. are condemned. me of the other features of the Vir- ia platform are: A declaration for an efficient merchant marine, with sale to American citizens, for poeration under the American flag, of all merchant vessels acquired by the government-during the war. Condemnation of the republican con- gress for “vain and extravagant inves- tigations, costing two millions of dollars, revealing nothing beyond the incapacity of republican politicians to cope with the gravest problems.
