ed of Contempt in Calling
Coal Strike

PITTSBURG, Kan, Feb 16.-Alex-
ander Howat, president of the Kansas
Miners Union, and five other officers
of the union, were found guilty of con-
tempt of court and sentenced to serve
one year in jail by Judge Andrew j.
Curran, of the ~Crawford County Dis
trict Court. this afternoon. They also
were assessed the costs in the case.
Howat's co-defendants were August
Derchy, president, Willard Titus,
John Fleming, James McIlwrath and
Earl Maxwell, executive board mem
bers. Their bonds were fixed at $4,000
each and they were released on their
own recognizance unit tomorrow to
make bond.
The calling of strike in two mines,
in violation of an injunction issued
by the District Court, caused the
contempt proceedings. The strike
resulted from a controversy between
the union and operators over the age
of young miner, because the question
of his age affected his rate of pay.
In the case of three other miners
union officials, charged with contempt
in filming two union members who ap-
pealed case to the Industrial Court,

representative here, protested against
an investigation by the Legislature of
his administration as provided in the
resolution introduced by Senator Theo-
dore Douglas Robinson and Assembly
man Joseph Steinberg.
Mr. Walling, who is an assistant cor

be made at all.
Mayor Hylan, through his spokes-

an inquiry into the provisions Of the

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.--With the
support of nine Democrats and with
four. Republicans voting in opposition,
the Fordney emergency bill for a
tariff on agricultural products, with a
score of amendments tackled on. was
passed by the Senate tonight by AZ
to 80.
The vote was taken shortly before 7
O'Clock and after almost eight hours of
debate. Democrats opposed to the bill
scored it in severe terms and even
Senator Moses, of New Hampshire, Re.
publican, excoriated the measure and
called is "misshapen thing" and a
"misshapen brat" He declared the
Republican party could not defend it.
AS soon as the bill was passed Sena-
tors Penrose, McCumber and Smoot,
Republicans, and Simmons and Will
liams, Democrats, were appointed con-
ferees on the part of the Senate. It is
the purpose of the Republican leaders
as soon as possible to reach an agree
ment between the houses and put the
measure up to the President. The
President will veto it, according to
Senate Democratic leaders. The meas
ure was sent to conference as soon as
it was voted on. y

On the basis of the vote tonight the
bill cannot be passed over the veto o

would be required.
The bill has been before the Senate
for weeks and at one time there was
doubt whether it would ever be forced
TO a vote in the face of the Democratic
flibuster. The Democrats in the end
decided to let the measure go to vote,
confident of veto and, because some
of them believe the bill would en-
