COAL STRIKE CAUSES
 ANXIETY IN KANSAS

Topeka, Kas., Nov, 21.-Kansas has been brought to the point of using all it's power to protect the people whose suffering would be unseakahle unless relief was afforded from the emergen- cy brought about by the coal strike, Governor Henry J. Allen announced tonight in a formal statement.

 The governor declared that people were responding willingly to his ap- ieal for volunteers to work the Kan sas mines. He said the people real ized that it was not strike breaking enterprise
 Every department of human life is bound up in this issue,'' the state ment continued. Every industry and private occupation which government Is organized to support is affected by it and the challenge of those who would bring upon us this catastrophe challenge to government. So far as Kansas is concerned the govern ment is going to accept the challenge For this sole purpose we are asking for volunteers whose services we will accept as rapidly as mining operations can be increased. The duty to which these men are volunteering is hard la bor but they are accepting it willing ly out of their recognition of a, call as patriotic as any that has brought mel into service. It is the age-old obli- gation of just government to protect the innocent against the ruthless quarrels in the making of which we have had no part
 | But once and for all" the state ment concluded, 'it must be under stood that the powers of the state nov summoned into action for the protec :, ton of its people are above and be i yond those of any assoclation or or
 ganization, whether oI capital or in | dividuals"
