STRIKE IS THREAT
Kansas Miners Make New Wage
Demand of Operators.
Mine Owners to Oppose Raise at
Kansas City Conference.

Kansas Cit, Mo-, Oct. Inter
state conference committee -of miners
and operators is scheduled to meet
here Monday, the miners seeking a
wage hike of approximately rs per
cent for $4,000 yardage and tonnage
workers of the southwest coal fields.
Strike has been threatened unless
the wage demand is met. 1t is known
that operators will oppose the in
crease.
The demands. affecting tonnage
and yard ,laborers of the southwest,
follows an application presented the
Southwestern Coal Operators lasso-
citation in Kansas City last week. A
conference of miners and operators
has been called for Monday in Kansas
City to consider the boost Carter
said the operators opposed the raise.
Should a walkout result from the
refusal of the wage demands Carter
declared the same situation would de-
velop that befell the state last No
vember, when mines lay idle Until the
state despatched volunteers to the pits
and hoisted coal for cities stricken
with fuel famine,
Day diggers> recently were awarded
a hike of $3.50 a day.
Carter planned to confer with Gov
ernor j. 3. A. Robertson this after
a statewide vote in November to al
low Oklahomans to voice their .senti-
ment whether miners should be given
an additional increase.
A conference of operators and rail-
road representatives with Robertson
was to be held this afternoon to at
tempt settlement of the row al
Henryetta and Pittsburg county mines
in which the operators charge the
| carriers are holding out cars to force
a reduction in the price of coal. The
referendum plan was expected to be
proposed at, this meeting.

been expected had the speech been
dsl4yered a year earlier. Even the
We; Democrats who are in touch with
Affairs in their communities, admitted
that the league issue failed to arouse
thu voters to the old high pitch en-
thusiasm.
But there are other cards in Cover
nor CoXs deck than the League of
Nations. His forte is the question and
answer policy. His pleasue is the
meeting of the heckler. In every
move and every action he invites ques-
tions. When they don't come spon-
taneously, he invites them. When
they don't come by invitation. he asks
his own questions and provides his
own answers. 1t is a clever, adroit
and effective method of bringing fea-
lures of the campaign issues to public
attention. And it worked effectively
in Kansas.
speech for Every Audience.
That isn't all, tho. Governor Cox
has studied the national situation from
every angle. And he has a speech for
every crowd. His Atchison, Topeka,
Hutchinson, Newton and Wichita
speeches were largely to labor classes
and the general rank and file of voters.
So he held to the outline of his regu-
lar set speech with just enough new
feature discussion to assure the score
of press representatives some new
color for the days traveA .
In a breakfast talk befoIN the Cham
Der of Commerce in Hutchinson, Gov
ernor Cox discussed business. 1t was
his one and only business talk during
the Kansas stay. He urged revision
downward of the income tax schedules
and a sterilization of general business
and marketing conditions. A few min
utes later he talked to a big crowd in
front of the Bisonte hotel. Later 1000

ings the detailed features of the Cox
plan for revision of business conditions
and tax responsibilities were not men

Many Station Talks.
Several times the train stopped in
Kansas for talks at way stations. AL
ways it was a small town or farmer
crowd that pushed up close to the

farm reform policies. his demand FOL
sterilization of markets and the
League of Nations argument.
The Cox trip thru Kansas unques-
tionably made votes for the Democrat
nominee. Yet even the sanguine Kan.
sas Bourbons are not claiming the
state for their candidate.
At least 10000 people heard the
Cox speeches in the state. The triI

GATHERED IN MANY VOTES
sIany Severe Attacks ON Sena-
tor Harding.
Newspaper Men Praise His
Fighting Spirit.
BX A. L. sHULTZ.

Governor James M. Cox put some
new fight into the Democrat organiza-
ton in Kansas. Incidentally he gath
cred himself some votes for the pres
hecklers than any presidential candi-
date in recent years with the possible
exception of the late Colonel Roose-
Welt. OF a total of 10000 men and
women who heard Cox during his two
days trip thru the state, il is doubt
full if a total of 200 left his meetings
until his speeches were concluded.
No Part in Local Issues.
The Democrat nominee conducted
his own campaign in Kansas. He
didn't stop to mix in local issues or to
take chips in local contests. Even the
state ticket was sidetracked by the
candidate in his discussion of national
issues. Whether the speaker had in
mind some Of the misfortunes of JUS
tice Hughes in 1915 is a matter which
Governor Cox himself couldNm most def
initely decide. In any event, the can
invasion to tackle anything that di-
verted the voters attention from the
league covenant and the sins of Sena-
tor Harding and his colleagues.
Big crowds met Governor Cox and
his party at every stop. There were
parades and banners and bands and
shouting and at times spirit that all
most revived memories of the good old
days of the Mckinley Bryan fight in
1896.
Cox didn't try for oratorical flights
in his Kansas speeches. But he pos
sessed something that held the inter
est of his crowds and brought fire.
Quent applause. His attack on Sem
ator Harding was severe. Even more
vitriolic, tho, was his Hutchinson in
dic1ment of Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge
as the arch conspirator of the world,
a narrow minded bigot and the man
who wrote the hymn of hate against

Failed to Arouse Interest. -
Every play by Cox in his general
speeches was to bring before the Kan
sas voters the fact that the league is
one big, dominant issue in the cam
paign. There was applause. But it
wasn't the reception that might have

lieutenant governor and publisher of

Cox made his Harding brewery

demand came for a reply by Morgan.

to reply from the floor. Governor
Cox said he was not dealing in per-
sonalities and suggested that his chal-
