Kansas Coal Mine Workers Ordered to Quit Despite
 Court Injunction.

PITTSBURG, Kan, March 23.- Alexander Howatt. president of the Kansas District of the United Mine Workers of America, and other union executives yesterday called a strike of 150 coal miners in defiance of the Court of Industrial Relations and an injunction issued by the Dis trict Court The strike ordered was effective immediately.
 Howatt bitterly attacked the law establishing the Industrial Court, saying:
 "The Industrial Court has been in existence one year. During that period it has accomplished nothing in bettering Labor's condition in this state A few wage claims in. yolying but d small number of men have been handed out by the Indus. trial Court. a few crumbs handed out as a bait to Labor. hundreds of dollars have been given the Public Utilities Corporations in increasing rates
 iN lIlhilohl ldl AOIll iAd1 AOob the tax payers many thousands of dollars directly. and many hundreds of thousands of dollars in increased rates to public utilities that have been given by the Industrial Court. Tt has prevented no strikes and has done nothing but aggrayate the Labor problem and create industrial strife.
 Every hone t. self-respecting working man in the state should re- sent law of this character There is no law even in the most auto cratic country of Europe today that enslaves the workers in such a man, ner as is intended by this law
 Organized Labor is not opposed to the Industrial Court Law because of our desire to call strikes. but we know from bitter experiences of the past what it means to us if We surrender the right to strike or fl that right is taken away from us
 We know how little sympathy or consideration we may expect at the hands of the employers when We are chained to our jobs like slaves. Or "auized labor in Kansas has 8 right tO expect the same degree of lib rrty and justice that is accorded 10 the organized workers in other states of the nation and we are going to continue tO fight unu that principle is recognized and re
