WILL USE DYNAMITE AGAIN.
Miners and Owners in Southern Kan.
sas Field Sign Agreement.

Pittsburg. Kan, April 19.-Dyna-
mite may be used in the coal mines of
the Pittsburg field for brushing rock
and removing "horsebacks,' providing
the mine foreman is duly notified by
the miner desiring to use such explo-
sive. This is the gist of the agreement
signed, after three days conference
between the members of the executive
committee of the Southwestern Coal
Operators association and the execu-
tive board of the United Mine Work
ers of district IA.
The dispute regarding dynamite
came UP following the pa ssage of a
state law by the last legislature limit
ing the use of dynamite in the coal
mines and the adoption of a clause in
the joint agreement forbidding the use
of dynamite excepting on the consent
of the mine foreman. In some cases
the mine foreman absolutely prohibits
the use of dynamite and trouble fol-
lowed. resulting in strikes and suspen-
sions at several shafts.

BEER AGENTS FAVOR DRY TOWN
Will Work Hand in Hand With the
State Temperance Union.

Pittsburg, Kan, April 19.-The beer
agents of this city have adopted a
plan. it is said, that will put Pittsburg
really on a dry basis more complete
than all of the efforts of the State
Temperance union and county attor-
ney or any temperance movement
combined.
At a meeting the beer agents, who
have been selling it in cases to private
families. agreed to petition the whole
sale whisky and beer houses to not
for family use. They expect by this to
make Pittsburg so dry that it will be-
come disguised with prohibition and
that they will then be allowed to sell
beer openly.
