.HOWAT IS OUSTED BY MINERS HEAD
 IN OUTLAW STRIKE
Kansas Leader, From Jail, Says ITO Hell With Lewis and
 Allen |"

Pittsburgh, Kan, Oct. 14-Alexander Howat, president of the Kansas Mine Workers Union and his administration were suspended from office yerterday on order of John L. Lewis, president of the international union. George L. Peck, member of the suspended executive board, was designated acting president of a provisional organization created to handle districe affairs.
 It was announced that the action was taken because Howat and other officials refused to abide by a ruling of the international union convention at Indi- annapolis recently that certain striking miners be ordered back to work Howat with August Dorchy, union vice-presi- dent, IS serving a six months sentence III the Cherokee County jail at Colum- bus for violation of the criminal section of the industrial court law by calling strikes. Virtually all of the 12,O00 min CTS i'll the district have been on voluntary strike since the commitment of Howat and Dorchy.
 A statement issued by Peck said that all striking miners would be expected to return to work immediately. It also was stated that Peck and Thomas Harvey, suspended secretary-treasurer, who, under the terms of Lewis's order, was desig- mated acting SeCretary-treaSurer III the provisional organization, would take immediate charge of union affairs.
 Since the incarceration of Howat and Dorchy, John Fleming, member of the district board, has been acting as presi- dent. Whether Fleming and the other acting officers of the suspended admins tration would accept the order of Lewis was still matter of onjecture. In that connection announcement was made that a mass meeting of miners had been called for this afternoon.
 Indications that there would be a fight on the question were seen by many persons in statement by Howat from his jail cell in the day in which he said:
 "To hell with John Lewis and Cover nor Allen. Our plans are unchanged. We shall continue to fight"
 In his order of suspension President Lewis charged that the laws of the in ternational union were being hagrantly violated and asserted that the joint agreement between miners and operators in the State of Kansas has been trampled upon by individuals, who, seemingly, have ao respect for the honor of their organization or the principles of fair dealing among men,

The advisory committee on arma- ment limitation, formed by Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, and including about 100 of the leading men and women of America, will hold it's in itial meeting i'll the ballroom of the La Fayette Hotel, in Washington, at 10 o'clock Tuesday next.
 Mr. Gompers' viewpoint, 1t was an nounced at his offices, is the same in relation to this advisory committee as in relation to the great program of Armistice Day demonstrations to be held throughout the country. 1t IS that labor takes the initiative, 1nVlt- ing all elements, of American cltl- ship to participate, the responsibility thereafter resting jointly upon all who join in the effort.
 In calling together the advisory committee for its initial meeting MT. Gompers made the following state ment:
 The coming international confer ence on limitation ot armaments and Pacific problems will succeed if 1t has adequate support from the public tries and i'll the absence ot such sup
 
 "The occasion presents an oppor- tunity for the effective mobilization of public opinion along American lines. The American Federation of Labor has steadily favored every movement for world peace, the liml- itation of armament and the removal of the causes of war. Therefore as president of the Federation, l have taken the initiative in calling together this advisory committee on lim1ta- ton of armament. 1 have endeavored to make the committee broadly rep resentatiVe of American democracy by inviting some of the most active members of a number of our leading organizations and social groups and other well known humanitarian and public spirited citizens. The object of the committee IS to aid to crystal lize public opinion on the great issues before the conference, and to concen- trate and focus this opinion on the conference in a spirit that will not obstruct it's labors but will help 1t to a successful conclusion, urging with all possible power that it's sessions continue until some of the menac1ng war clouds are removed and a radical reduction of ornaments accomplish ed.
 "The committee will neither re- place any existing organization nor attempt a federation or super-organ- ization of any kind. It will work to secure the better cooperation of all the forces in the community that have these objects i'll view. k will also invite the cooperation of similar movements abroad since only interna- tional opinion and action can bring about any solution of these essentially international problems.
 "The committee will make its declaration of policy and selection of ways and means when it is assd dn- bled But it is safe to say from its democratic and representative char. acter that it will view the work of the Washington conference Ill a broad and liberal spirit, looking to it to bring results not only in the limitation of armament but in meas ures for prevention of war and re- moval of its causes, for furthering international cooperation and for securing to all people not only just treatment but the fullest possibilities of growth

STATE SHOWS BIG GAIN IN uLITERACY
 DURING PAST YEAR
Connecticut Only State in Union to Record Increase Despite
 Fine Schools.

Washington, D. C., Oct. I4-The only state in the union to show an in crease in the percentage of llllterate population 10 years of age and over between the years 1910 and 1920 is the unenviable distinction thrust up on Connecticut by the census bureau in it's statement of the illiteracy in the United States as shown by the census of 1920. The increase IS only from per cent in 1910 to 6.2 per cent. in 1920, but every other state in the union showed a decrease. Con- necticut remaining alone in the in crease abulation. The bureau does not blame Connecticut educational facilities, however, but states that "the increase is doubtless due mainly or wholly to a considerable increase in the foreign born population of the state"
 The number of illiterates in the state in 1920 is given as 67,265, out of a population of I,o37,7o7, while in 1910 it was given as 53,665 in a popu lation of ooI ,o26.
 While Connecticut has been becom- ing Increasingly illiterate in the past 10 years, the United States has been decreasing until whereas there was percentage of ~ per cent. Ill 1910 there was only 4 per cent in 1o1o Compared with her neighbor on the north, Massachusetts, Connecticut makes a very poor showing, for Mas sachusetts has reduced it's illiteracy per centage from 5.2 in 1910 to AZ in 1920. The illiteracy in New Eng land is 4o per cent. against 5.2 in 1910.
 Louisiana is the most illiterate state in the union, with a percentage of 21.o but it has cut down its aver age from % per cent. in 1910. Iowa holds the palm for the smallest per centage of illiteracy, with I2 per cent, having reduced it's percentage from I.7 in 1910.
