SMITH-TAGGART CONFAB ASSUMES POLITICAL LIGHT George Brennan, Illinois Democrat Boss, Will Attend French Lick Meeting, WET, DRY ISSUE LOOMS Presidential Boom for New York Governor Refuses to Be Downed. By United Press CHICAGO. June 12.—The impending meeting between Governor A1 Smith of New York and Democratic chieftains in French Lick today assumed more signifificance than any held in that famous “political pharmacy” in a decade. The added importance ts the conference became known when it was learned George C. Brennan, political chieftain of Illinois, intends to attend. Brennan intends to go to French Lick to see “Al” and “Tom” from Springfield, where he is spending today, he told members of the Smith party Vefore leaving last night. This will place the Nevf York Governor and presidential possibility in conference with two of the most powerful political Individuals of the Middle West Brennan and Tom Taggart. Smith will be the guest of the latter. Boom Goes On The boom of Smith as a possible presidential candidate refused to be downed among his friends today, despite his flat announcement he is not and will not be a presidential candidate in 1924. Smith’s visit to Chicago probably has stirred up the “wet and dry” issue more than ever before in Chicago. The judiciary committee of the city council passed a resolution commending him for signing the New York repealer and he was denounced by antiSaloon Leaguers and ministers who held meetings at which little else was transacted. Several Chicago “wet” leaders also “winked” at his statement that the "county still holds to a dry sentiment and the Eighteenth Amendment.” They insisted the New York executive, while not attacking the Eighteenth Amendment, will ultimately come out for light wines and beer, dispensed under the “Canadian plan.” Lunches With Brennan Smith late yesterday lunched with Brennan at the exclusive Chicago Club. Other Democrats were there. During the day he also called on Mayor Dever. Today Smith and his party played golf, visited the Chicago stock yards and will be a guest at the dinner at the Blackstone Hotel, where he will be surrounded by prominent Democrats. Smith had expected to leave for French Lick last night, but late In the day he altered his plans to permit the dinner, and will go to the Indiana “political resort” late tonight for a ten-day rest.

RIGHT TO FIX PAY IS DENIEDKANSAS INDUSTRIAL COURT Officials Refuse to Discuss Supreme Verdict Until Text Arrives, By United Press TOPEKA, Kan., June 12.—Effectiveness of the Kansas court law, a weapon against industrial disturbances, has been impaired by the decision of the Supreme Court denying the right to flx wages, State officials believed today. While Judges of the lnduetrlal court and other State officials declined to discuss the verdict yesterday in the Charles Wolff packing case, pendit** arrival of the text of the decision, it was pointed out the clause concerning the right to flx wages, was a major provision of the court plan as fathered by former Governor Henry J. Allen. The law has been invoked to fix wages and regulate conditions in the Wolff Packing Company plant, laundries and other concerns. Governor Jonathan M. Davis, whose opposition to the industrial court was an Issue In the last State election, declared today he believed the decision of the Supreme Court “bears out the proposal I made ik> the Legislature when I recommended the court law be repealed and an effort be made to enact a law that would be more fair to both employer and employe."
