Kansas Industrial Court
Takes Hand in Strike
speciol Dispatch to The Tribune


TOPEKA, Kan, March 24.--The Kan
sas Industrial Court to-day ordered a
hearing for next Thursday to deter
mine what action it should take to pre-
vent the coal miners in Kansas from
joining the nationwide strike April l.
John Crawford, judge of the court, re-
turned from Pittsburg, Kan, to-day.
He was in conference there with the
coal operators and with officials of the
miners regarding the impending strike.
The action of the court to-day was
upon its own initiative. R. C. Harvey,
attorney and examiner for the court,
filed a certified statement setting forth
that a nationwide strike of coal min
ers had been called for April I, and
that the Kansas miners might be called
out by the union organization. The
operators have stated that they have
sufficient coal on hand for thirty DAYS
supply and possibly even more, but
the complaint set out that even with
this coal on hand strike would cut
down production, causing a large loss
to the miners and to the operators.
AS soon as the complaint had been
presented the court ordered the hear
ing for next Thursday, when it will be
determined what sort of an order can
be worked out to keep the mines in op-
Grafton pending the negotiation of a
wage scale and working contract. The
operators and the miners will be called
in and their statements taken as to
bow long time would be required to
work out wage agreement.

railway workers were to be feared when
the country was relying solely upon the

ne rumor was heard recently in Co.
lumbus, Ohio, where number of non
union operators have Offices.
Inc non-union coal fields lie in south
ern west Virginia, southwestern Penn
s,ylvanla and eastern Kentucky. These
districts in the last general suspen-
sion produced about 40 per cent of the
country's requirements. 1t was said
to-day that union miners have been
drifting into those fields recently and
that when the general strike takes
place they can be relied on to bring out
with them numbers of the unorganized
mountaineers.
We adopted resolution" Presi-
dent Lewis said, that officers of all
dlstrlcts here are instructed to issue
Immediately a call TO all adjacent non
union fields asking them to Join in the
strike, aud further that all the power
and influence of the international and
district unions be exertcd to bring

Ih1s resolution was offered by Van

tlon indorsne the strike call, was
adopted unanim ously.
harrington, who made two long and
vehement speeches, insisted that a mis-
understanding of clause in the Tlli-
nois agreement with the operators was
to blame for the reports of disaffecton
in Illinois. The agreement calls for
negotiations prior to a suspension
These negotiations will take place, he
said but the miners in Illinois will
also strike on April /.
He predicted, however, that a
policy of requiring the miners in all
districts to stay out until an agree

Early Break Is Feared
There are number Of districts, he
said, where the strike cannot last long
One of these is northern West Vir-
ginia, where, he said, the miners can
not stay out more than three weeks.
harrington contended it was incon-
sstent for the international to count
enance separate agreements in weaker
fields like West Virginia and forbid
them in Illinois
Philip Murray, vice president of the
international, dared harrington to try
to take his miners into separate
agreement. Among other speakers op-
posing Farrington's position were Will

afternoon while counsel for the owners
Of the first songs argued about copy
rights and explained to the court about
new notes occurrences and the dom

furnished by violinists and clarinetists,
but the greater part of the concert was
given on the phonograph At the end
of the argument Judge Knox promised
to take the records home and work
the question out on his own machine
The hearing was part Of an injunc-

owner of the Dardanella copyright to
restrain Charles Dillingham; from fea-
turing Kalua in Good Morning,

Theater, and to stop Thomas Harms

is also seeking an accounting from
these defendants, as we'll as from
Jerome and Ann Caldwell, composer
and auth of kalua, respectively. He
claims that they have nfringed his
copyright by taking over a note series
and by using the dominant bass, both
of which, he asserts, first appeared in
popular music in Dardanella
Counsel for the defendants urged
that the copyright covered only the
melody and not combination of three
notes, which were public property. He
referred to the disputed series as BIN.

Cabinet Ciues Up Hope
OF Averting Coal Strike
Lo,Uer Production Costs Neces.
snry, Members Say, but Ques-
ton OF Louer Wages Is Omen

From The Tribunss Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, March 24.-All hope
Of avertng the coal strike has been
abandoned by the Administration, it
was admitted at the White House to-
day. Indeed, the Administration has
already turned its attention to the ne
cessity of cutting the cost of coal de-
livered at the seaboard latter" the
strike.
Earnest consideration was given at
to-day's Cabinet meeting to the fact
that, due to the excessive cost of pro-
duction in this country and to the
high rail rates from mine to seaboard,
this country has lost its export market
for coal. Not only this, but one Cabi-
net member asserted that at the pres
ent time Welsh coal can be delivered in
San Francisco cheaper than it can be
produced in Utah and hauled to Cali
fornia.
While the talk at the Cabinet meet
ing all tended in the direction of lower
production costs of coal in the United
States, there was no admission that
lower wages-after the strike-were
regarded as inevitable. When this was
suggested afterward, the answer was
made that the cost of coal at the sea
board had to come down, and it was
stated that the industry could not be
continued if the present rail rates on
coal to the seaboard were maintained.
Despite the recognition of this situa-
tion by the Administration, there is no
tendency to excuse the coal operators
for showing an unwillingness to enter
conference with the miners now. 1t
is admitted that the operators were will
ing last October, and the men declined
insistently, but this is not conceded
by the Administration to be sufficient
justification for the present attitude
of the operators.
