The mayor of Portis Kansas, J. P. Thomas, telegrams Kansas Governor Henry J. Allen about the poor condition of coal received. The state had taken over the southeast Kansas coal fields following a series of coal strikes in the winter of 1919. Communities experienced delays in shipments of coals and oftentimes coal not well suited to their needs.
