UNIONS TO SEEK LEGAL
BAR TO STRIP MINING
President of Kansas District Says
Valuable Land Is Being Destroy
ed by Present Practices.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PITTSBURG, Kans., March IL
Removal of the cause of the present
controversy over wages paid nom
union workers in the strip coal mines
of southeastern Kansas will be
sought through legislation. Mat
Walters, president of District IA,
United Mine Workers of America,
said yesterday. The union will try
to obtain, he said, the enactment of
a law forbidding the removal of coal
from shallow veins. The mining OF
coal from veins near the surface of
the earth, he declares, lis an eco
nomic waste of land, which is torn
up so that it is no good for grazing
or cultivation"
Until everybody wakes up to the
fact that strip mining is a waste of
valuable hands, Walters continued,
"the union will endeavor to bring
into it's ranks rather inexperienced
workers whom the strip miners are
recruiting. The union miners will
march again to the strip mines to
tell the non union men they cannot
afford to work for less than the basic
scale
But there Will be no riots or de-
struction of property" the labor
leader hastened to add.
