tinuation of the old wage scale and
working conditions for period Of
thirty days to enable miners and op-
orators to begin and, if possible, con-
clude negotiations for new contracts.

orders and offered to commence ne
gotiations Immediately. The miners
leaders declined the benefits of such
order The court then directed the
operators to resume mining for the
purpose of meeting the Kansas de-
mand as it arose, guaranteeing pro-
lection to their miners and their
properties. The operations were re-
sumed upon a scale which for several
weeks had produced 30 per cent of the
normal average output OF the Kansas
