the companies could not take back
their former employees If they desired
to do so unless these men rega- ned

action of the International Miners

are out of the union.
other operators declared emphati-
cally that men who have been work
ing and have been loyal to the inter
national union would not be dis
charged to make places for the Howat
supporters.
Therefore, the Howat statement is
not expected to have much effect on
the situation.
AT the Operators association head

Pittsburg. Kan. Jan. 1s.-With the
strike of the miners in the Kansas
coal fields called off by the order OF
Alexander Howat, a grand rush Began
today by strikers to get their old jobs
back.
Men gathered at the mines to list
their names and signify that they
were ready to resume work when
needed
There may be a hitch. however, in
taking the men back to work. HoWat s
order calling off the strike, which was
made public late yesterday, stated the
strike was off only on condition that
coal operators take back all former
employees. This the operators, it was
said today, would decline to do Ger
tain of the radical leaders, it was
pointed out, would not be given work.
Won't Favor Rebels
others said that they would not dis
charge miners now at work in favor
Of "Howat rebels"
EOwever it was generally believed
that peace and harmony would soon
reign turnout the district Howat in
his strike order said the strike had
proved the industrial court failure
and that there was no further need of
prolonging the strike.
Coal operators, on the other hand,
the collapse of Howat's rule over the
miners of the district.
To Show Up Kansas Court
The purpose of his order, Howat
aid, was to show that the Kansas in
dustr.aI court law could not be en-
forced.
The strikers are asked in the state
ment to name committees at their To-
Gals to confer with the mine foremen
and a provision is then stimulated
which, officials of the international
union and of the Coal Operators as
ISOLATION say completely nullifies the
statements so far as it is a move to
put the strikers back to work is con-
cerned. The statement contains this
provision:
"a committee should be selected
from among the miners at the differ
ent mines in the district to see the
mine foreman promptly and. in the
event any company refuses to permit
all their former employees to return to

FEARS NOT
Friday the Thirteenth Again

San Francisco, Jan. 13.-Again the
thirteenth figures in the Arbuckle
case.
The possibility existed as the third
day of the famous film stars second
trial opened that a jury would be COM
pIeted on this date. Thirteen has fig
ured thru the entire case. It was on
the thirteenth of September. that the
indictment on which Arbuckle is be-
ing tried was returned. The figures of
the room number 1919 which the
comedian occupied at the St. Francis
added together make IS. It was on
October 1 8 that Fatty was arraigned
in superior court and thirteen jurors
were sworn in the first trial, and
strange to say, Arbuckle is not super
stitious.
"Funny, en- chuckled Arbuckle
when his attention was called to the
string of condolences. ''Well, guess
10 is as good as any other number.
Maybe it will bring me good luck"
The state had four peremptory cha1-
lenges left when court convened to-
day and the defense had all of thirteen
unused. The jury box was filled with
tentative jurors just before court adj
