KANSAS OPERATORS READY
VIII Mine Coal When Normal Demand
Is Brought About.


Is Brought About.
Kansas coal operators will open
mines in tbs state whenever normal
demands are sufficient to warrant
restoration of production. That was
the statement OF persons familiar with
the mine strike situation when the
question was discussed today at the
state house.
No actual emergency threatening a
suspension of industry or shortage in
domestic supply will be required to
bring about action, it was asserted.
The understanding today is that oper-
ators will open their mines and pro-
coed to produce coal whenever there
is a demand for fuel in the natural
course of the coal trade.
An actual scarcity of fuel will not
be required to create a demand, ac-
cording to statements. IT was de-
clared that operators are ready to pro-
coed on short notice. Details of their
program were discussed in a confer
ence with industrial court judges in
Topeka last year.
