Pittsburg, Kan, Nov. 11-An atti-
tude of skepticism concerning the
withdrawal of the strike order per-
vaded the Kansas mining field today.
At the office of the district officials
of the United Mine Workers of
America it was said no official word
had been received, and until such was
received, the situation here was un-
changed
From miners struggling into Pitts
burg this morning came expressions of
doubt as to the ending of the strike.
In all quarters, apparently, there was
a feeling that the miners would not
return to work. How intense is this
feeling remains to be seen. That it is
general thruout the field, however, is
apparent. Miners officials here ex-
pected some messag ge from Alexa nder
Howat, district president, at Indian
apolis.
Governor Allen is in Eskridge this
afternoon, and will go to Wichita this
evening. At noon today no word had
been received from him regarding the
strike situation in Kansas. In event
Howat and his followers should refuse
to return to the mines, the governor
will probably act when he returns to
Topeka. Should the miners return,
there would be no further action for
the state to take.
One report in the state house today
was to the effect that the governor
would ask Howat to Topeka for con-
, ference in event he counseled against
the return of striking miners. Be
yond a recent statement that he ex-
poets to exercise all power at his COM
mand in keeping the mines open. Gov
ernor Allen has made no public utter
ance regarding plans or policies.
Railroad officials announced today
that coal cars would be diverted a.
once to the mining districts in an ef-
fort to relieve the fuel shortage which
has already affected many communi-
ties and general industries. Cars will
be supplied to the mining districts al
once it was stated, in order to prompt
ly move the output of fuel. 1t is prob
able that acceptance of the order
cancelIing the strike will result in re
j opening of number of Kansas mine!
| Wednesday.
Pending creation of a normal Goa
! output regulations now governing
movement and distribution of Goa
will probably remain in effect. Fue
, administration officials here expecting
! to remain on the job until production
/ meets demands and shortages in va
| rious communities and induStria
plants are relieved.

Gus element in the making of govern
ment.
We hive southern senators who
imagine there are no other people
in the world entitled to such wide
ranges of profits as are the southern
cotton growers. They are wrong. The
cotton grower does not want. any
thing but fair deal If he does, he
has wrong conception of his re-
Iations TO all the other classes in
the business world.
In congress are other law makers
who fight equally hard for other
GLASSES. The wheat growers are
there to be taken care of, The sugar
producers are there, too, with their
interests. The stock raisers are like
wise TO be cared for. And union labor
just must have theirs. The capitalists
of course must be represented and
now the poor, trampled public is re
prensented in a special way at Wash
ington.
SO, it is easy to see that there are
other interests in our national make
up besides the farmer. But what is tC

of the farmer, because of the remark

The melting pot into which the
early immigrants to America were
thrown produced an amalgam that
has never lost its luster. They were
rough and ready, perhaps, but what
was in their heads was right. In those
days it meant something to oppose a
monarchy. 1t meant more than we
now realize to put down on paper
