SCRANTON, Pa, Nov. 17--Alexsn.
der Howat of Kansas has lost none Of
his popularity in the hard coal fields,
Stamping thru the anthracite for
John Brophy, candidate for interna-
tional president of the United Mine
Workers. Howat draws capacity
crowds to all halls. Howat opened at
olyphant on a Thursday evening;
spoke at Lucerne Friday, and held
three meetings on Sunday in Scranton,
Old Forge and Pittston. At the latter
place $500 packed the Armory. From
there he went to Shamokin, Hazel

Wilkes-Barre.
Plttston Meeting Success.
The meeting at Pittston, a seat Of
district insurgency, where the long
unofficial strike was held two years
ago, was the climax of the Sunday
meetings. Announcement of President
Rinaldo Cappellini of District 1 that
the meeting would be stopped lent
excitement to the occasion. Three

ITO hell with injunctions. Treat them
the way we did in Kansas. They say
they can't organize the unorganized.
Let them make way for someone who
can. They say they will take no back

bers is not backward step, what is?"
Brennan Out Also.
At Old Forge and Scranton, William
]. Brennan, candidate for international
ecretary-treasurer, spoke from the
same platform. Brennan scores the
anthracite agreement as an arbitra-
ton pact. He says the men were told
the agreement meant the check-off
and no arbitration. Actually they got
no check-off and did get arbitration,
he says. The opposition tickets pol
icy calls for the expiration of anthra-

same date. During the last strike the
bituminous miners worked while the
hard coal men struck.
Howat continues his tour thru the
central and western Pennsylvania dis

his job in a Kansas mine.

PREFERENTIAL

WASHINGTON, Nov. IT, The un.

coal Industry in Indiana and Illinois
was outlined today to the Interstate
Commerce Commission by b. D. viii
kinson, representing the Indiana BIZ
luminous Coal Operators Associa-
ton.
Indiana and Illinois bituminous op-
orators have complained to the com
mission against alleged high freight
rates on coal from mines in those
states to the Chicago district and GER
tain parts Of territory in the west and
northwest. Examiners of the com.
mission have fled a report showing
that the rates complained against are
reasonable.
Preferential.
Wilkinson told the commission that
the rates are unreasonable and IN
duly prejudicial as compared with
those from nonunion mines in west
ern Kentucky and in the so-called
inner and outer crescent" in Penn
sylvania, Maryland, Virginia, West
Virginia, Eastern Kentucky and Ten
nessee.
He said that the rates in recent
years from the principal Illinois and
Indiana mines have been subjected to
increases ranging from 80 to 100 per
cent while the increases on coal from
the Crescent" have averaged only
about 81 per cent.

Kind words kill wars, and that's
