HISTORY OF
KANSAS LAW ON
LABOR STRIKES
Industrial Relations Court Grew Out
of Coal Miners Strike; Gov.
Aliens Remedy

PITTSBURG, Kas May 1.-When
Gov. Henry j. Allen entered the
coal fields of the Pittsburg district
last November to ask the idle miners
to work for the State under the
receivership which the Governor had
instituted, the question asked on
every hand was
what will Alexander Howat say
about it?"
The governor was told frankly
that Howat, district president of the
United Mine Workers would reject
the plan. Howat was in Washington
attending the negotiations in prog
ress for the settlement of the nation
wide strike of the bituminous miners.
A close friend of Howat's volunteer
ed to go to Washington and seek
his consent for the men to return
to work. Not only did Howat re-
ject the offer, but he issued a state
ment in which he bitterly condemned
the plan as "an invasion of the gov
ernor in an attempt to disrupt the
union"
The campaign to work the mines
under state receivership, however.

The Kansas Governor organized
a temporary executive office in Pitts
burg and while here formed a ten
tative plan for a Court of Industrial
Relations w. L. Higgins, then
chairman of the Kansas State Public
Utilities Commission. and Judge F. C.
Price, leader in the State Senate
and chairman of the judiciary com
mittee, were called into conference
A day or two later the governor is
sued a call for an extraordinary
session of the state legislature and
in January the law creating the Court
of Industrial Relations was enacted.
Howat meanwhile, at meetings Of
miners in Indiana, Ohio and Illinois,
declared the law was designed to
"enslave the working people of Kan
sas." He threatened a fresh strike
of the Kansas miners
After the new industrial court
had begun functioning, it was an
nounced that an investigation of the
coal mining industry of the state
would be held here. The court as
sembled and Howat and other mem
bers of the mine workers were sum-
moned to appear as witnesses. The
order was ignored
The presiding judge then applied
to Judge "A. J. Curran of the CTaw-
ford county district court to order
Howat to appear before the indus
trial court When Howat and the
other officials did not appear, Judge
Curran found them in contempt and
issued an order committing them to
Jail until such time as they consen.
to appear before the Kansas Indus
trial relations Court and answer all
questions asked them"
Howat is serving his nineteenth
year as an official of the United
Mine Workers. He was born in Scot
land and came to the United States
when three years old. At ten he
went to work in a coal mine. A foe
to compromise, when the nationwide
strike was settled in
1919. Howat denounced
some phases of the settlement. On
December 22,1919, he was sent to
Jail in Indianapolis for contempt
