serving a nentence of alx months for
calling out on atrike ISO miners in
order to force a coal company to pay
the wages long over due to a youm;
miner who was the only support of
a widowed mother and six small
brothers and sisters. Because of the
unjust incarceration of Mr. Howat.
and Mr. Dorchy for calling the above
strike, 12,000 miners threw down
their tools and said, no more coal
will we dig until our officers are
again free and the purpose and intent
of the industrial court 1a defeated."
"The miners of district 14 who re
aide in Kanaas and their families are
willingly facing starvation and great
buffering in order that labor may be
free. The miners and, in fact, all
labor- of this state know that If this
law Is successful in Ksnsas it will
soon spread to the other states and
finally the workers of the nation will
lie helpleasly bound by lawa similar

Judge Alschuler again act as arbi-

"We are confident." said Hayes,
"that the public will not tolerate ar-
bitrary domination of* wages and
working conditions and will demand
the restoration of n fair method of
arbitration; to which the unions of

confident of victory."

Secretary Lane of the union
claimed that 22.000 workers are out
In Chicago and 62,000 in the pack-

said the rest of the mechanics in the
plants came out Saturday, including
the engineers.
The packers, on the other hand,
boasted that they had placed 8.000
strike breakers in the plants and
proposed to house them within tho
yards. This practice was vigorously
denounced as a menace to health
during previous strikes, union lead-
ers say.

Kausas. because of Its utter impossi-
bility or operation and failure in this
state.
"After having won the world war,
and since big business seems to be
tafc. it is high time to win a battle
for labor and forever make it Im-
possible that any state In the union
will care to follow the lead of Kan-
sas by enacting such a law.
"This is the second call for finance
with which to assist the miners Who
are at this time suffering and fight-
ing for all labor throughout the
United States. Every organized
worker in the United States should
feel the Importance of the great
struggle now going on in Kansas
and realize the necessity of assist-
ing in the fight, at least to the degree
of contributing financially to the
brave miners of district 14.
"Ix>cal unions from every state are

and thai which is coming in to this

is not sufficient to meet the require-
