H0WAT, FREED, E:
 PLANS TDE:ND
 KANSAS STRIKE: ]:
Resumption of Work May Cause Continuance of
 Charges

Indianapolis, InG., Dec. 23.-A call for meeting of the executive board of the Kansas district of the United Mine Workers of America for Friday, at which steps to end the strike of 1000 employees of the Central Coal and Coke company will be taken, was issued from here this afternoon by Alexander Howat, president of the district, before leaving for his home at Pittsburgh, Kansas.
 Howat was released from jail to- day, where he had been sent fol- lowing a preliminary hearing on contempt of court charges, by Federal Judge A. B. Anderson yesterday, after he had agreed to use his influence to end the local strike. His call for the district meeting followed a telegram sent to the Kansas district by William, Green, international secretary treasurer of the mine workers, or dering the strikers to return to work.
 Charges of contempt of court against Howat were part of gen. eral charges against S4 interna- tional and district officials of the miners in which it was alleged that the officials had violated the iniunction issued by Judge Ande~- son against furtherance of the strike. Hearing of the charges against all the officials except Howat have been continued twice the second time indefinitely. Ho- watts alleged action in keeping a local strike in force in Kansas however, led to his arraignment in court here yesterday and his commitment to jail when he failed to give assurance that the Kansas strike would be called off.
 The Kansas official was brought into court again today and after general discussion of the situa- tion, during which MT. Greer agreed to use his influence as ar international official in bringing about a settlement of the Kansas tie-up and Howat finally agreed te cooperate, the latter was released from custody.
 It was indicated that with re: sumption of work at the Centra Coal and Coke company's proper ty, a hearing of the charges against Howat, set for next Mon. day, would be continued and that Howat's stands would be the same as the other officials against whom charges still are pending but which, according to genera belief, will not be pushed so long as they do not again violate the courts injuntcion.

TRAITORS ID
 OBEY ORDERS
 OF COMMISSION
Central Field Mines to Abide by Its Decis-
 ions

Terre Haute, Ind, Dec. 23.-In a statement declaring that the at titude of the coal operators of the central competitive field has not been changed by any person in au- thority since they agreed to plan similar to that proposed by Presi- ident Wilson for settling the min ers' wage controversy. Phil H. Penna, spokesman for the opera tors in the wage negotiations of the past few months, late today in- dicated that the operators will abide by the decisions of the con- mission appointed by the president to arbitrate prices and wages.
 MT. Penna stated that the presi- dents plan for appointment of a commission differed in some de- tails from the plan agreed upon by the operators, and expressed the belief that the operators should have been consulted before it was presented to the miners. He said, however, that it agreed in princi- pie with the resolution adopted by the operators.
 MT. Penna's statement follows:
 "On November 27, the coal op- orators committee, composed of eight representatives of each state, in joint meeting with the miners, offered the following resolution: {: That there be a tribunal created of equal number of the miners representatives and coal operators, and an equal number representing the public, to whom all these diff ferences shall be referred, and that we agree to accept the result, to constitute contract effective un- til March 31, 1922
 "The operators all voted YES all of the miners voted 'NO' and the meeting adjourned without date.
 "In principle this resolution is in perfect accord with the president s action. It differs, however, in some detatils about which we should have been consulted in advance.
 "This attitude of the operators has not been changed in particular by any person or persons in au- thority
