Mr.. Howat's Misadventures.

president ALEXANDER HowAT of the
Kansas miners union continues to be
unfortunate in his collisions with the
Kansas Industrial Court law. This
law forbids the calling of strikes af-
fecting the production of fuel, food
OF other commodities essential to pub
lie welfare. Mr.. HowAT has called
two such strikes. In this he defied
not only the law but a court injunc-
tion as well. Arraigned for contempt
OF court, he was sentenced to years
Imprisonment. He appealed to the
State Supreme Court on the ground
that the law was unconstitutional.
The Supreme Court upheld the law.
Mr.. HowAT has appealed to the Su.
preme Court of the United States.
But Mr.. HowAT's offence was not
confined to contempt of court. He
had deliberately violated specific
criminal clause in the Industrial
Court law. Under this clause the
calling of a strike in detriment to the
public welfare is made felony. For
this offence Mr.. HowAT was again ar.
raigned. His trial was before the
District Court at Columbus, Kansas,
Judge Boss presiding.
All Mr.. HowAT's previous trials had
been before judges only. This time
the decision rested with a jury. Mr..
HowAT and his sympathizers were
confident, but they did not overlook
the possibilities of jury trial in the
face of pronounced public demon
stration. Mr.. HowAT issued what he
described as "a call TO action" He
sent IL to the presidents of all the
labor unions In Kansas. IL urged
that all labor m men take a
weeks vacatio come to Colum-
bus during the t.,-i Over 800 were
