BINS FIRST
Kansas Coal Miners Stored Own
Coal Before Strike.
Production Near Record Two
Weeks Preceding Walkout.

Kansas coal miners filled their bins
before they quit work. They antici-
pated the hard winter which faced the
general public and played safe. While
industries may be forced to close, the
railroads paralyzed and the house,
holder shivers. the coal miner will en-
Joy his warm home and comEiacently
await settlement of his grievances.
Anticipating the possibility of q
long. hard fight, the $4,000 miners in
this state worked full time during the
two weeks preceding the strike.
Their earnings for the period are said
to have been a near record and will
aid in meeting the miners expenses
during the time he is idle. 1t is a
rare occasion, mine officials have de-
clared, that maximum production is
maintained for a full two weeks. This
is said to have been the case. tho, in
the Kansas mines preceding the
walkout. -.
So far as Kansas officials were able
to learn today. not dimes worth OF
coal was being produced for the mar
kets. Every mine in the state where
more than half dozen men are en-
ployed is said to be closed under the
order. A few small veins or drifts
which give employment to a very few
men. may be in operation. But their
production is limited to a few wagons
of coal a day and the entire output
is for purely domestic purposes
Operators have notified state de-
to open the mines until the men show
tendency to return to work or suf-
ficient supply of independent labor is
available

ing October 15, this year, amounted to

creases granted since October Is or to
be granted before the end OF the pres

S605,000. These increases. he said,
were far in advance of new revenues
under rate orders. Against the salary

only s463.000 for new revenues

CkAlM OGEE BROKE LAW
State Game Warden Asked To Cancel
His Commission.

After striking terror to hearts of
Topeka nimrods and hunters for years,
Henry Ogee. a deputy game warden,
faces loss of his commission for break
ing the same law for which he has ar
rested dozens of Topeka youths, ac-
cording to H. G.. Adams. farmer near
Maple Hill.
Ogee. accompanied by other Shaw
nee hunters, made life uncertain for
those on the Adams farm by their
shooting, Adams said. 1t resulted in a
raid by a deputy sheriff of Wabaun-
see county in which Ogee was caught,
according to Adams.
II understand he has been reported
to the state game warden at Atchison
and that official was asked to with
draw his commission" said Adams to-
day.
Many complaints against Topeka
hunters have been filed in the court
of Topeka in recent years by Ogee,
records show. In many instances the
cases were dismissed for lack of sUf-
ficient evidence to bear, out Ogee's
claims. according to court officials.
Ogee lives north of Topeka.
