Coal Operators and Mine Union
Heads Here Thursday.
New Wage Proposals VIII Be
Taken Up by Court.
MAY KEEP KANSAS MINES OPEN
Court Holds That an Emer-
gency Exists at Present.
Probable That Temporary Or
der Will Be Issued Soon.

Coal operators and officers of the
Mine Workers union in the Kansas
fields will appear before the industria
relations court Thursday when that
body takes up the new wage proposals.
Summonses have been issued for a num-
ber of men prominent in operation of
the coal mines or in affairs of the
Mine Workers union. 1t is likely
the court will issue a temporary order
holding existing wage contracts in ef-
feet pending final investigation of the
new wage schedules.
Strike Effective Friday Night.
Recently the industrial court sought
to secure a special order from the in
cially exempting Kansas from any ac-
ton in the wage row. The miners
union, however, refused to grant an
exemption and the workers in District
souri, mines-will come under the gem
eral orders of the organization. Fail
ure to agree with the operators re-
garding the new wage contract has
resulted in a general strike order ef-
fective at midnight, Friday.
Last week the industrial court de-
cided to take up the wage case on it's
own motion. Under assertions that
an emergency exists and public well
fare is involved, the court may seek
to enforce a temporary order ana keep
the Kansas mines open.
Operators and Officials To Be Here.
Both the mine operators and miners
union officials have stated that they
would obey orders from the court
commanding their attendance at the
hearing. Neither side, however, has
yielded to the court in settlement of
the wage row. So far as known in
Topeka, officers of the international
union have given district officers no
authority to make separate settlement
of their disputes.
The wage hearing will be held in
the state house at 10 o'clock Thurs
day morning. It is probable that a
temporary order will be issued by the
court as soon as the investigation here
is concluded. This order is expected
to come late Thursday or some time
