MINERS MAY BALK
Unions Now Plan New Attack
on Industrial Court.
Would Refuse to Recognize
State Inspection Department.
ENCOURAGED BY HOWAT
Local Unions Are Adopting
Complaining Resolutions.
Be No Change to Please Miners,
Says Allen.

Pittsburg, April 15.-A movement
to refuse to recognize the state in
spection of mines has been launched
among the local unions of the Kansas
district of the u. NJ. w. A.
Promoters of the movement, be-
lfeved to have the encouragement at
least of Alexander Howat, the district
president, explain that the Kansas
mine inspection department now is
under the supervision of the court OF
Industrial relations against which the
miners union has declared unrelent-
ing warfare.
Resolutions are being adopted by
local unions calling upon the miners
to recognize in no way the state mine
inspector and his deputies. This is
the usual form of procedure in the
miners organization.
The resolutions that are being
adopted recite that the district Of
ficials headed by Howat, are engaged
in a struggle against the industrial
court and that the mine inspection
department is under the supervision
of that court and recognition of the
inspection department will be recog-
milton of the court.
Complications Expected.
As the mine inspection department
is directly charged with keeping the
work, the refusal to recognize the in
spectors. involving disregard of the
orders of the inspectors, may lead to
Interesting complications
The state rescue department, closely
connected with the inspection depart
ruent, also is under the supervision of
the industrial court but the resolutions
now being adopted do not refer to that
department.
There will be no change in the state
mine inspection policies merely be-
cause it does not please some of the
mine workers. That was the position
of Governor Allen this afternoon when
advised by The State Journal regard
ing action of Crawford county miners.
1.-The state mine inspection law will
be administered the same as in the
past" Governor Allen said. 1.-The
work is being conducted by the same
persons who have been in charge of
the work before. 1t is a most eff
Gent arm of state government. 1t has
been complimented many times on ac-
count of its efficiency. We contem-
plate no change. That the work is
being administered under the indus
trial court is not a matter that con-
Germs those interested in proper mine
inspection"

YEARNING At EVE

Long shadows have gone;
Slanting rays of the sun
Dip deep into the horizon.
Chill and dampness of night
Are coming down upon the earth;
Smoke from chimneys drift
Straight forward to the sky
And all is still
But bark, lonely hound
On some distant hill
Persists to bark.
Dusk is gathering DER the vale.
Yet l hear a robin singing;
Does he sing of love,
Or Is his song of yearning
For an absent mates returning?
The wind is gone
Has passed with passing day,
And quietude is over all;
Tho, hear in yonder meadow
The lowing of the kline,
And in the wood
The night birds plaintive call

tongue out. With one hand fastened

nape of his neck Abe lifted him at
arms length and gave him toss in

feet from where Abe stood and lay
there for minute. The fight was all
out of him and he was kind of dazed
and sick. Abe stood up like giant
and his face looked awful solemn.
Boys, if there's any more O. you

"They hung their heads and not one

Abe went to Armstrong and helped
him up.

So the Clary's Grove gang was con-
quered. They were to make more
trouble but not again were they to
imperil the foundations Of law and
order in the little community Of New

on and see if they were all right.
"'Don't you get in any fight she

Sarah led the way and the others

Those big brawny fellows from the
Grove when they got merry were look

at some man and turn him into a
plaything. A chance had come to get
mad and. they were going TO make the
most Of it. They began to growl with
resentment. Some were wigging their
leader, Jack Armstrong, to fight Abe.
One of them ran to his horse and
brought bottle from his saddle bag.
1t began passing from mouth to mouth.
Jack Armstrong got the bottle before
it was half emptied, drained it and
flung it high in the air. Another
called him a hog and grappled him
around the waist and there was a deS-
perate struggle which ended quickly.
Armstrong got hold on the neck of
his assailant and choked him until he
let go. This was not enough for the
sturdy bully of Clary's Grove. He
seized his follower and flung him so
roughly on the ground that the latter
