Kansas Coal Miners
Head Rebels at
Conventions Rulings

indianapolis, Ind. Sept. 2S.-Alex-
aadcr Howat. president of the Kan
sas coal miners. was directed today
by the vote of the convention of the
United Mine Workers of America to
order strikers at two Kansas mines
back to work, but Immediately after
tho conventions decision he declared
he would not carry out the order. No
announcement was made by the
Union officials what steps, if any.
would be taken to enforce the deci-
sion. In voting, tie convention had be-
fore it Howat's assertion that he
would be expelled from the union be
fore he would obey such an order.
BY its vote, the convention sustain
ed President John l.. Lewis and other
international officers in ordering the
resumption of work which had not
been obcyed by Howat All of the
anti administrator element was lin
cd up behind Howat. but the roll call
showed an unofficial majority of 1926
for the order, the vote being 2701 to
1115. HOwat's opposition to the order
was that ii would support operators
seeking to violate contracts with
miners by imposing new working
conditions, but President Lewis de-
clared the issue was whether the
union held its own men to the fulfill
ment of their contracts.
Only six of the - districts in the
Union stood by Howat, who gained
his greatest support by carrying the
big Illinois delegation. S75 to So.
Washington, Montana, Michigan. Kan
sas and Indiana, exclusive of the
block coal district, also gave him a
majority of their votes. All other
districts supported tho administra-
TONS back to- work order by major
tiles ranging from less than a score
to more than 200 votes.
Howats fight with administration
leaders ended for the convention
with tho disposition of the Kansas
strike cases. He expected to leave
here carly tomorrow to appear in
court at Columbus, on Friday and
declared he would go to Jail rather
than give the bond required by the
court not to call any moro strikes.
The disposition of the Kansas cases,
which had been before the cofven-
ton since last Friday. also cleared
the way for more rapid progress in
convention work but the end of the
session was not yet in sight.
