AWAIT RELEASE OF HOwAT
 AND REPEAL OF LAW
Kansas Union Miners Fail to Call for National Strike Which Would
 Cut off Funds.

Pittsburg, Kas., Oct. 3.-Several hundred miners, meeting at Franklin, near here, yesterday voted not to re- turn to work until Alexander Howat, president of the Kansas Miners union, and August Dorchy, vice president, are released from the Cherokee coun- ty Jail and until the Kansas industrial court law is taken from the statute books. The union officials are serving terms for alleged violation of the law.
 Resolutions were adopted condemn ing Governor Henry ]. Allen, the in- dustrial court law, the international miners union and the international president, John l.. Lewis. A motion to call upon all miners of the country to quit work work did not receive sup port as 1t was pointed out that if all miners ceased work no one would be working to provide funds to maintain those who quit their employment.
 Kansas delegates to the national convention at Indianapolis, who voted to uphold President Lewis and the in- ternatlonal organization in the mat ter of ordering the miners back to work at the mines here were con demned at the meeting for what was called their "disioyalty."

The report, based on a national investigation of the industry, asserted that management and labor alike were responsible for the enor- nous waste,
 Seasonal shut-downs, industrial discord, the "sell-then-make" policy, lack of standardization of appliances, conditions and inefficient planning. were given as the chief sources of waste.
 "The most fundamental cause of waste" 1t was added, Ais the tradi- tional fear-inspired. order-enticing sales policy, which expresses itself in wide variety and it's attendant made to-order basis of manufacturing.
 What seems to be needed. asserted the committee, is that each manu- facturer adopt number of models and cloth styles, bridge the slack sea- sons by manufacturing for stock and adopt vigorous positive selling meth- ods, backed up by effective, national advertising

CLovERLRAF SCHOOL HOUSE.
New Building Ready for Occupancy
 Result of Consolidation.

The Clover Leaf Community school house is now finished and the club will hold it's regular meeting Tuesday night, October s11. An interesting program is being prepared. This house is not only a credit to the community but to all Polk county as it is up to date in every way. It has has two large, well lighted school rooms with ventilators, and an annex containing cloak rooms and vesti- bule. It is located in pretty shady part of a five acre tract, purchased with view to future agricultural work for the students and ample play grounds. This school takes the place of Thacker and Corinth schools and is a great step in the Forward Education Movement. The two dis tricts organized their community club a little over two years ago and have been working together for the betterment of the community. One result of it's work being the consoli- dated school. If other communities follow this example Arkansas will soon loose her rank as 46th in edu- cation and be moving rapidly to the front row.

 An order authorizing the sale was issued Monday morning by Judge Frank A. Youmans, under whose di- rection the company has been oper- ated by Receiver W. l.. Curtis of Fort Smith for many months.
 The foreclosure is offered to satisfy first and second mortgage bonds to- taling S990.000, and unpaid interest.

 To Fight Litigation.
 Indianapolis. Sept. 30.-AItho fac- ing wide range of litigation, the United Mine Workers of America. in convention here yesterday declared in favor of continuing the unions re- sistance which, it was said, already has cost more than Sl,500,000. Tn taking this action, the convention ap- proved a committee report declaring the litigation was "a part of a na- tion wide conspiracy to destroy the power and usefulness" of the union.
 Disapproval of salary increases of approximately sixty per cent for of ficers of the union was voted by the convention, which later was thrown into an uroar that continued most of the afternoon by a motion to require repayment of the alleged excess in salaries paid since July last year.
 President John L. Lewis. opposing the motion, declared it's adoption would brand the officers before the public as "a band of thieves" On a rising vote, the motion was killed l. ls9 to 8, but protests that the count exceeding the number of delegates resulted in reconsideration by roll call.
 By refusing 10 approve the salary increases. which were fixed hy the unions executive board, the conven- ton gave its first rebuke to the ad- officers.
