KANSAS COAL FOR KANSAS
Assures Miners That State
Won't Ship to Outside.
Can Get 100000 Workers in
Field if They're Needed.

Pittsburg, Kan, Nov Golf Gov
ernor Henry J. Aliens proposal for
the resumption of mining in Kansas is
based on the Cleveland convention de-
mands, the miners will consider it in
the. event there is no agreement at
Washington, Alexander Howat wired
to his office here today.
Pittsburg-Kan Nov &.-Governo
Allen addressed a mass meeting in the
city hall here last night of more than
1000 miners.
When the governor reiterated at the
meeting that the coal he is asking the
miners to dig will be used only for the
relief of the people of Kansas, the
miners cheered. Several miners ques-
toned the governor as to how he coulo
keep the railroad administration from
hauling the coal outside of the state
and the governor replied that 1T was
within the power of the state at TINS
time to control distribution CT the coal
and~that he did not believe the federal
government would try to conflscate
the coal for use in other states.
He's the Employer, Now.
The governor astonished many of
the miners by asserting that since he
had ia aken the mines away from the
operators he was the employer, anu
not the operators. and added that ne
could send word out all over the state
to "come and get the coar' and he
would have 250.000 people here Wlthlh
three days.
Governor Allen told the miners that
he expected their answer by Monday
morning and to be with him and bring
their leaders along. He said that II an
agreement is not made in washington
made TO get the coal out OF the Kansas
mines.
The governor asked the miners
whether their officers were their mas
ters or their servants. He inferred
that since Alexander Howat. OF the
United Mine Workers of America, has
advised the miners agaipst-Soing TO
work under the state, that it was up
to the miners to let him know how
they felt about it, so that he could act
accordingly.
1t was pointed out, during the gov
ernor's speech, that the mine officials
are doing only what they believe the
miners want them to do
Socialist Tries to Talk.

county.
He expects to go TO Independence
today. leaving here at 9 o'clock in the
morning. He said that the object of
his trip there is to look over the strip
mines in that neighborhood so that in
case emergency measures are found
necessary he will know about how
much of the coal can be uncovered
without skilled labor.

bluff OF the strikers is the general be-
lief. That he will take some new
course to open the mines next Monday
is also a general state house view. In
fact his every statement has been to
the effect that he will get coal-that
some one will dig It.
In direct opposition to the govern
or's purpose in seeking to induce the
miners to work for the state, are
statements by Alexander Howat and
Receiver Titus. Rowat is reported to
have wired from Washington: "A1len
may want coal-AI don't" And in re-
fusing to serve as a receiver, Titus
asserted his first duty was to his
union. After that he was willing to
serve his state. Now Governor Allen
has hurled back the challenge to the
miners-a challenge of loyalty to their
and government.
Governor Returns Saturday.
Governor Allen is expected to return
to Topeka Saturday. He will make no
new move in the coal strike situation
pending the weeks conference in
Washington and the efforts of more
reasona bic leadership in the Crawford
Cherokee district to induce the men
to return TO work. Any new policies
which the governor has in mind will
probably be announced after his re-
turn to Topeka.
State officials are probably unaf1i-
mously behind Governor Allen in his
effort to induce the miners to return
to work, County officials who fIocked
to the state house today brought word
from the folks at home. And the word
carried no comfort to a radical mine
workers leadership or a standpat pol
icy of the operators. The folks at
home want coal. What is more they
sent word by personal representatives
and by fire and mail that any method
which would produce the fuel would
be generally approved.
