STRIKE PRACTICALLY BEGINS WHEN NEGOTIATIONS END
 AT KANSAS CITY.
38,000 MEN ARE INVOLVED
Miners Demand 5la Cent increase Operators Refuse to YieId-Burn- ing of Second Ballots if or
 fered. Is Urged

Kansas City. Mo.-"The trouble that Is sure to follow must rest upon the heads Of those who had rather hold out against 512 cent per ton increase on coal at the mine than to permit us to live deeently. .'-The miners.
 The miners have violated every contract previously made and we will not continue negotiations unless as sured that the agreements will be kept. .@-The operators.
 The long-threatened strike of the coal miners of the Southwestern dis trict, embracing the states of Missou- ri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas, practically began. when dele gates representing 3S,000 miners ab- solutely refused to consider the latest ultimatum issued by the Interstate Mine Operators Association of the Southwest.
 In their refusal to consider the prop osition made by the mine operators, the miners say that they will not ne- gotiate through the medium of the national presidents of the respective organizations, but through their own members, and that they will not con- sider a scale not in accordance with the demands of the Cincinnati special convention. On the other hand, the operators claim that the miners have violated every contract previously made and that they will not continue negotiations unless given some assur- ance that the agreements made by the miners will be kept.
 Thirty-eight thousand miners will be directly affected by the failure of the conferees 10 agree, and of these a very small percentage opposed the at. titude assumed by the leaders. The miners feel and say that the operators have treated them unjustly and tried to mislead the public as to the merits of the points in dispute.
 At the headquarters of the union miners 1t was claimed that a number of independent operators had already made overtures for signing scale along the line proposed by the min CTS, and that others would shortly be in line Mines employing 2,300 men in Kansas, 400 in Missouri and 2.00O in Arkansas and Oklahoma. have al. ready signed up, according to a state ment issued by one of the miners of, ficials.
 The operators say that they are not in position to immediately declare an open shop policy. but declare that as rapidly as men can be secured they will be placed at work under ample protection.
 The mines will be picketed at once by the miners, and trouble of the gray. est nature is feared by both sides. al though leaders of both the operators and mners declare that they will make every possible effort to avoid it.
