COLUMBUS, Kao.. Ort. 24. Kan-
pas miners are not planning a dual
, organization, but are fighting to re-
main in the United Mine Workers of
America without sacrificing their
principles," Alexander Ho*at assert*
ed this morning In an interview
given through the bars of his cell in
the Cherokee county jail.
Howat said there has been no
change in bis uttitude in regard to
wanting the Missouri miners to con-
tinue to work. Uc said the tight
against the industrial court lavr
should he concentrated in Kansas,
while the Missouri miners continue
to work und give financial support
to the miners on the Kansas sidu of
the district.
"The miners of Kansas are fight-
ing against the most infamous law
that has been written since the days
of the fugitive slave law," Howat
said.
He bitterly attacked Governor Al-
len and also those of the miner offl*
cial who have opposed him, and de-
clared that the fight would go on
uutil victory finally rewarded his ef-
forts.
Many local unions in the Kansas
district have passed resolutions en-
dorsing Howat's stand and pledging
him continued support.

Places at Concert To Be Held
For Teachers and Pupils
at Special Prices.
An innovation in local musical
circles that will be welcomed grate- '
fully by young music students and
teachers is announced by Edward B.
Bryan, who is promoting a series of
local concerts for this season. Bryan J
announces that he will hold 250 I
choice teats for each concert for
music students, to be sold at 60
cents each.
"This is to give an advantage to
young students to form their mu-
sical taste and enlarge their musical
acquaintance." said Bryan. "Too
often the high price demanded for
musical attractions is an effective
bar to this avenue of musical edu- 1
| cation."
The next concert to be given under
Mr. Bryan's auspices Is to be by Ar-
thur Middleton, bass-baritone.
Middleton is one of the most pop-
ular baritones In America. He will
appear on November 7 at the high
school auditorium.
The famous Cherniavsky Trio, vio-
lin, cello and piano, is booked for j
February 16, while Frieda Hempel,
world-famous soprano, has chosen

strike schedule, but rather as a move
to permit free discussion of all the
Issues involved in an effort to effect
a permanent settlement.
A statement by Warren S. 8ton< .
president of the Brotherhood of Lo-
comotive Engineers, reiterated that
the rail employes are "patiently
waiting for any developments that
would appear to offer a solution of
the situation."
ItcHpoiiHibilit) on Board.
At the same time, Stone made it
plain that the brotherhoods Intended
to place onus, should the strike ma-
terialize, squarely upon the railways
and the labor board, by asserting
that the board apparently 1s unable
or has failed to protect the unions
from the "onslaughts" of the rail-
ways.
Stone's emphasis on the railways'
alleged efforts to abrogate the work-
ing agreements of long standing led
to the belief that this was really the
brotherhoods' principal grievance
and the feeling was growing that
some version of the following might
be the compromise reached in Chi-
cago:
Acceptance by the brotherhoods
of the 12 per cent wage reduction
ordered in July.
Agreement by the railways for
commensurate freight rate cuts at
once.
Maintain Rules.
Maintenance of all rules governing
working conditions now in effect.
Indefinite postponement of further
■wage reductions. i
There was a disposition to believe
that a settlement was nearer than
Ht any time since the brotherhoods
voted to strike, and that if the unions
vere assured particularly of protec-
tion of their present working condi-
tions the strike would be averted.
With the arrival of T. C. ('ashen,
president of the Switchmen's Union
of North America, the brotherhoods
chiefs went into conference in

Sunday morning. A pistol by his side
and a bullet wound in his right
temple told the mute story of suicide,
according to officers who went to
the room.
The suicide was carefully planned,
according to Captain Jenkins and Of-
ficer Hurt, who answered the call. A
slicker had been placed on the floor,
evidently for the purpose of keeping
the blood from the floor.
A note signed by him said: "Don't
blame anybody for this. It is my Own
action, and I am doing it because of
ill health."

THE BLOOD
IS THE LIFE
It is a platitude to state that "the1
blood is the life stream." It is a j
, truism to assert that the condition
of the blood measures one's recu- j
perative powers.
It must be conceded without argu-.
ment that the purity of the blood
current is a good index to one's re-
sistance to disease as well as one's
ability to recuperate. The normal
blood is comparatively free from im-
purities. It presents characteristics
easily determined. Its specific grav-
ity is 1060 and presents the qualitv
of cohesion when floated in a non
aqueous menstrum such as chloro-
j form or benzine.
Its color should normally be ap-
proximately 100 according to Tall-
; qulst and other tests. Its color ma>
be even darker because of iinpuri-
i ties and its density for the same rea-
5 son may vary much from 1060.
These conditions may result from
poor elimination through the skin,
lungs, liver, kidneys, bowels, etc.
j Any serious Interference with the
function of one or more of these
organs will vitiate the blood quickly.
( Any marked variation from nor-
' mal means an impairment of the
function of the blood. The degree
of variation is relatively a measure
I of Its capacity to perform its func-
tion. The anemic current will sus-
tain life for a long period but in a
very inferior manner and the uremic
patient continues to exist though the
blood current Is heavily laden with
toxic products.
The 100 per cent blood stream is

THE ROUJOF HONOR
Men and Women Who Are Doing Their Share That the
Leader May Reach the 30,000 Mark.
BY S. AMERINGER
III September we bad to stop a little over 900 subscriptions. Prac-
tically all of these stops were for papers going into the Oklahoma.
Texas and Arkansas mining regions. The reason was unemployment.
In apite of this fact, we put on over 1,000 new mail subscribers.
That is both dlseouragin? and encouraging. It is discouraging to
lose so many of our miner readers when we know that they like the
paper, and want it, but are unable to pay for it. It is encouraging
lo know that by steady work on the part of many boosters sending
in from one to five new subscriptions a month, that we are able to
put on 1,000 new readers a month.
Practically all of our subscriptions among the miners expired in
September. Those that were not renewed have, therefore, already
been stopped. The way now clear to give the Leader some good
gains during the balance of the year.
With the few number of expirations we will have from now until
the first of the year we should be able to easily show a gaiu of
1,000 new readers a month, and |>OK8ibly more.
.Make a rule that each week you are going to devote a little of
your time to help yourself by helping the Leader.
If you are a railroad worker, you will help yourself when boost-
ing the Leader by getting your side of the railroad strike story Into
the home of another individual you need, to help in moulding public
opinion. Public opinion decides most strikes.
If you are a farmer, interested in the Farmer-Labor Reconstruc-
tion League and legislation that should be passed in this state in the
interest of the farmer, you help yourself when boosting the Leader,
for the Leader tells the truth about the fight you have on your hands.
Wherever a Leader goes, there you will find a friend and worker
sooner or later for your cause.
It is not the great work of a few individuals that count, as the
little work of many individuals. Be one of those who are doing
their bit.

Workers of America, remits $6 for six part-payments on the check off
plan, for miners at Wilburton, Okla.

If every miners' secretary in District 21 will try and send in ten
new subscribers, we will easily make up for the 900 miners cut off
the list last month. Try it.

subs. He still hftl ten subs in his local that have not as yet paid in full.

miners. His last payment amounted to $13 as part payment on a good
list of subs.

gains. It saves you money and makes you money.
