SITUATION SERIOUS.
Conflict of Authority Between Federal and State COurts-BI BIoodshed Feared
 As A Result

Judge Rowe, of Sebastian circuit court, refused to dissolve the iniunc- tion granted by the state court against the Kansas & Texas Coal Co. and the Frisco Railroad, restraining them from
 bringing in negro mipers from other states to take the place of strikers.
 The court cited no precedent for it's ruling, but held that the peace of the state was paramount to that of operat- ing the mines; that tie principles of law upon which the opinion was based were as old as law itself and are now applied to new conditions growing out of new developments. The situation as it now stands is as follows: Gov
 Jones notified sheriffs in the mining districts to allow no foreign labor to be brought in. The sheriff of Sebas- tian county enjoiped the railroad com pany and the coal company from at tempting to bring in labor, alleging that bloodshed would follow should they do so. The railroad company and mine operators then applied to United States District Judge Rodgers for an injunction to p4~7ent the sheriff from carrying out tlie riders of the governor and state court which was granted. Application was then made to Judge Rowe to dissolve the injunction against operators and riilroad, with the above result Just WI at the outcome of this con fict of authority between the Fed eral and state ourts will be it is hard to tell, but it is the general opinion in the mining sec ions that n nttempt to bring in miner will lead to .oodshed. Should trouble arise, there is not dol lar available O pay the expenses of state troops, nd the situation would have to be Ina, dled by local authorities
