NO CHANCE FOR STRIKE
Interstate Contract Accepted by Min
ers in Conference at *. C.

Kansas City, Sept. 1.-THE last
clause over which there had been dis
pute in the proposed interstate work
ing contract of the coal miners of this
section was agreed upon here today
by the subcommittee to which it had
been referred by the general confer
ence. Announcement to that effect
was made by Ira J. Fleming, presi-
dent of the Southwestern Interstate
Coal Operators association, for the
operators, and Alexander Howat, pres
ident of the Kansas district of the
miners union.
The action taken. they declared,
precluded the possibility of a general
strike resulting from the interstate
contract as it now awaits only formal
ratification before it is put into force.
The district contracts for Districts IA,
21 and %, which include the states of
Missouri, Kansas Oklahoma and Ar
kansas are yet to be made, however,
and agreement on the interstate con-
tract does not meant necessarily that
no differences will arise over them.
both operators and miners pointed
out.
The settlement today was over the
provision relating to penalties for vio-
lation of the interstate contract.
The conference on the district
agreement will be started here tomor-
row, according to Mr.. Howat.
