Four Southwest Governors
Hope to Win Miners
Acceptance of Proposal

KANSAS CRY. October 31.-whether
the governors of Missouri. Kansas.
Oklahoma and Arkansas would be
able to bring about acceptance Of
proposal by the Southwest Interstate
Coal Operators Association that the
miners of the southwest remain at
work pending the negotiation of a
new contract and wage scale, and thus
prevent the strike order from becom-
ing effective at midnight, was a mat
ter of conjecture here today.
In view OF statements by John L.
Lewis, acting president of the United
Mine Workers OF America, and Alex
ander II. Howat. president of the Kan
sas Miners, that the proposal was "un-
acceptable" the next move was in
doubt. The operators suggested that
action in the southwest be independ-
ent of that in any other district. and
many officials were hopeful that a
solution would be found in spite of
the fact that reports indicated steady
preparations for carrying out the
strike order.
The proposal of the operators. wired

braced in the district by F. w. Luz

tives the statement that they would
do everything possible to bring
about agreement
Kansas Relies on Government.
BOSTON, October 31-The refusal of
Alexander NJ. Howat, president of
district No. II. United Mine Workers
of America, to negotiate with the
Southwest Coal Operators Associa-
tion means that Kansas will have to
meet the threatened strike of miners
along the lines proposed by the fed
eral government. Gov. Henry ]. Allen
of that state said here today. He as
serted that the offer of the operators
to negotiate new contract for
the Kansas district, independent of
action in other fields, made through
his office. to President Howat was
thoroughly sincere. The governor,
who came here to assist in the re-
publican state campaign. declined to
comment further on the situation I'M
Til he had heard directly from his
Office at Topeka.
The offer of the operators associa-
tions to negotiate was characterized
by President Howat at Chicago last
night as a big bluff"

the most cordial reception accorded
you and your noble consort and son,
and most respectfully Offers you it's

Of laws, conscious that nowhere
could it be more appropriately be-
slowed than upon the man who with
stood bravely and successfully the
most unjust onslaught on the law of
nations, and on the peaceful order
of Europe in particular"

the king in a brief impromptu ad-
dress, in which he made reference to
the bravery of the Belgian king and
people particularly during The first
weeks of the war. The king in re-
