Kansas Miners Finances Ap.
prOach Low Ebb Is Report.
Strike Benefits Paid Despite
Orders of Courts.
LAUGH At INJUNCTION NOW
First Disturbance Reported
Yesterday Near Acme Mine.
Opening of Okla. and Mo. Mines
Depresses Union Men.

Pittsburg, Kan, Dec. 6.-Notwith-
standing the Injunction issued by
Judge Anderson of Indianapolis,
against the treasurers of the miners'
unions or other officials paying strike
benefits to miners, it is believed here
that the strikers are receiving pay
1t is said that collections are being
taken thru the local unions of this
district for meeting the extraordinary
needs of the more extreme cases, but
that is not part of the regular bene-
fit system of paying the strikers out
of the mine union strike fund
The miners themselves laugh at the
idea OF a court order preventing the
distribution of funds Today one
miner, when it was suggested that the
strike dividends were not being paid,
said, THE hell they amt, don't you
ever believe, stranger, that when a
miner needs money he doesn't get it,
He does get it. and all the courts this
side Of he'll amt a'goin' to keep him
out of it,
The miners who have big families,
however, and many of them do have
big families, are becoming hard
pressed for funds.
The activities of the state for open
ing up all the strip mines,- the appar-
emily never-ceasing flow of volunteers
to the fields under the rigid. guard of
soldiers, has had a most discoura ging
effect upon the strikers.
The opening up of the Missouri
mines and the Oklahoma effort to
open the mines have also had a de-
pressing effect.
The first demonstration against
state troops in the southwestern mine
field occurred at Arma, several miles
north of Pittsburg, this afternoon,
when mob of miners and strike SYM
pathizerS refused to permit a truck
driver to carry supplies to the mine
wokers' camp near the Acme mine,
| according to a report received at gem
eral headquarters in Pittsburg.
The driver attempted to go thru the
town when the mob surrounded him,
taunted and jeered him and warned
