KANSAS CRY. July H.--There Is o longer
any doubt that the Central Coal aud Coke
Company and the Kansas and Texas Coal
and Coke Company intend to bring about
q crisis IN the strike of the coal-miners
in Southeastern Kansas in the next
few days. The Genital Coal and Coke
Company has nearly finished the build
ING of stockades around its mines at Weir
City and Scammon. and has built houses
for workmen within the walls. aud this
morning President X. III. Keith told re-
porter that the mines at both places would
be operated before the end Of the week.
In answer TO question as TO where he
would get men from he said "Some OF
our old men will be given chance TO go
to work again if they feel so disposed.
The others, the men who have given us
most of the trouble, we do not want and
we won't have. Then there are some men
coming from Colorado and some from the
South. 1t Is easy enough to get the men,. y
NEGROES FROM THE SOUTH.
Are the men who come from the South
negroes 81" N.u.oo, nab. GOOD
miners, and what we want Is men VINO VIII

Will they be furnished with the arms

1--WE are not going to put men in OUT
mines TO be shot down like cattle. There
Is no use trying to disguise facts. We
have no reason to believe that
they will be protected by the
State. Our experience with the. state
and county officers has been such tina,
we can expect little from them. We must
do something. 1t would be folly and
cruelty on our part TO put workingmen 10
those mines with no protection; When
the miners go inside the stoeksdes they
Will be prepared TO defend themselve;
against attack"
The Kansas and Texas Company is pre-
pairing for work. too. but no other compa-
nv will tell when work will begin.
