Kansas style industrial court described for public welfare
Public interest in industrial disputes framed as a model for federal law. The Kansas act establishes a three judge court with power to intervene in disputes, issue injunctions, set wages and hours, and compel witnesses to prevent strikes and other disruption to essential industries. It preserves individual quitting rights but bans conspiracies to quit to hinder operations, with penalties up to 5000 dollars or two years' imprisonment. The piece notes national interest and urges Congress to consider similar federal legislation under Harding.

The C-7 dirigible, a cigar shaped navy airship, proved helium’s value as an inflating gas and lift from Hampton Roads to Washington and back. It remained under precise control, even during a descent at Ana costia. Helium’s nonflammability reduces fire risk, with 98 percent of hydrogen’s lifting power, supporting the case for government control of helium-producing fields to secure US resources for aviation and national security.
