BREAK IN CUSTOM
Howat Tells international
Union He'll Not Give In.
Declares Kansas Strikers Are
Right in Contentious.

Pittsburg. April 2S.-Alexander
Howat. head of the Kansas miners
union. has rejected the demand Of the
international union that he put back
at, work the striking employees of the
Dean Coal and Mining company
The demand, in the form of an uIti-
matum, was delivered to Howat yes
terday shortly after noon by the COM
mittee of the international executive
board sent here by John L. Lewis. in
ternational president of the u. NJ. W.
A. to investigate the strike at the Dean
mine.
"Qucstion of Custom"
At noon Howat gave out the state
ment he had sent to the international
organiza ton. The letter addressed to
the two international board members
William Dalrymple, of Oklahoma,
and Andrew Steele, of MissouriAsent
here to make an investigation. and
who delivered to Howat yesterday the
ultimatum of the international organi-
zation, argued that the district or
ganization was in the fight. and re-
iterated the Kansas organization
would not recede from its position
because it was urged an attempt was
being made to change the custom and
condition under which men worked.
I'VE are perfectly willing to put the
mine back to work under the customs
and conditions that prevailed there in
the past" Howat declared. But the
operators are trying to change the
customs in the middle of a contract.
Always before miners and operators
have been agreed that customs could
not be changed during the life of a
contract. Now the operators claim
that customs can be changed and the
/ international organization has sus-
tanned them in this view and the
Kansas organization Is not going to
stand for it,
Dirt Loader Cause.
The newest controversy between the
international organization of the U. NJ.
w. A. and Alexander Howat and the
Kansas organization which broke out
today with the refusal of Howat to
! obey the order of the international
! concerning the strike at the steam
, shovel mine of the Dean Coal and
Mining company, involves the question
of the power of the international or
ganization to enforce its orders to the
/ district organization.
A month aCo the union ordered a
strike of the Dean miners because the
company had used a loading machine
! to remove dirt. The loading machine
ated by men paid monthly salaries
The work of removing dirt to uncover
coal ordinarily is done by men who
work by the day. The day men were
idle when the loading machine was
I being used
International Investigates.
! The union alleged that this proceed
ure was a violation of contract. The
company took the view that in view
7 of the lack of orders for coal it could
not continue removing dirt with day
men while the loading shovel manned
| by men whose pay went on remained
| idle. The union officia1s held thai
/ the company was violating the con-
tract and demanded that it remove
/, the dirt with the day men rather thar
! with the loading machine. The com
pany refused and the union ordered
the strike.

granted. Now both the Topeka and
