Expres sions by government officials of sat isfaction ana relief at settlement of the nation-wide strike of "bituminous coal miners were coupled tonight with warnings to the American peo ple that early relaxation of the dras tic restrictions on the consumption of coal must not be expected. Fuel Administrator Garfield, on re ceipt of word that the miners in In dianapolis had agreed to accept Pres ident Wilson's proposal, declared Im mediate removal of regulations on soft coal consumption was not to be considered. iJirector-General Hines. In a for mal statement, asserted that the dis location created by the strike could not be remedied Instantly, but just as Mon as practicable restrictions will be rescinded or modified. Kxport Embargo Stands. Preliminary to bringing back nor mal conditions," said the director- Reneral, "coal mined will be allowed j to "run as billed except the tidewater i and export embargo will continue; orders placed for coal to western re gions from Pocahontas and Allegheny regions will be cancelled, but coal billed on these orders prior to the cancellation will be permitted to go and be expedited so that those cars can be promptly released for mines." The railroad administration, Dl-rector-Goneral Hines announced, would aid in meeting the needs of other consumers by reducing Its sup ply, to a ten-days' margin. The ad ministration has been maintaining a 15-days' supply. CommiHHlon Reported Selected. White House officials indicated that steps would be taken immediate ly lo carry out the provisions of the president's proposal relating to in vestigation of wages and working conditions In the bituminous coal fields by a commission of three. It was intimated that the president al- ready had practically decided on the appointments to the commission and was awaiting only the return of Attorney-General Pilmer from Indian apolis before announcing their names. Operators from all the- larger bituminous fields of the country gathered here awaiting developments from the miners' meeting, issued a statement tonight which said: 'Ve are pleased that the miners have voted to return to work, and that the public can be promptly sup plied.

Kxcept for the northwest and the eastern half of the country, general ly, rising temperatures, accompanied by unsettled weather, Vas predicted for tomorrow and Friday in the mountain, plains, southwest and cen tral states. has been a subject of controversy for many years. The statement also briifgs out that "neither the operators nor the miners will be allowed to change the basis and no discrimina tion by the operators will be per mitted." . Attorney-General Palmer, who came to Indianapolis primarily to advise government attorneys in their han dling of contempt proceedings against 84 officials of the mine workers who form the general committee. Will leave Indianapolis tomorrow. It was indicated tonight that the charges of contempt, hearing of which was postponed until December 16, when they come up in federal court Tuesday morning, will not be pushed. Mr. Palmer Gratified.' Mr. Palmer's first statement ex pressed his gratification at the deci sion of the miners and complimented Mr. Lewis and Mr. Green for 'their wise and patriotic action." It said: "The coal strike is settled aa the government wanted it settled. Messrs. Lewis and Green have persuaded the officers of their organization that the situation calls for compliance with the court's order and the govern ment's wishes, and I am certain that all the miners in the country will cheerfully agree in the decision of their leaders. I desire publicly to commend the wise and patriotic ac tion of Mr. Lewis, Mr. Green and their associates. Mining will be fully re sumed at once, the danger of distress and suffering during the winter is passed, the authority of the govern ment has been recognized and upheld, the supremacy of the law has been established and a precedent of incal culable value has been set for the peaceful, orderly and lawful adjust ment of industrial disputes." Miners Accept Proposal. A supplemental statement issued to night follows: "The miners at their meeting this afternoon accepted the president's proposal exactly as written and I understand the operators' committee have announced their acceptance of it. It provides for the immediate general resumption of operations in all districts upon the basis which ob tained on October 31, 1919, except as to wages, which are to be 14 per cent higher than at that date. This means that the men shall be taken back to work in all mines in the positions and upon the terms of their contracts of employment then existing; and it is confidently expected that tne mine owners will accede to the govern ment's earnest request that the status quo of October 31 be promptly re-established in order that peaceful rela tions between employer and employe in all parts of the mining fields may be immediately resumed. I am asking the governors of all coal mining states to co-operate in the effort to bring this about." Weekly Production Dropa. Director-General Hines in his state ment said: During the strike the weekly pro duction -of. coal . was . .cut from 11.000,000 or 12.000.000 tons to about 5,000.000 tons and this much-reduced tonnage was mostly mined in Penn sylvania and West Virginia. The re sult has. been that the railroad ad ministration was compelled to trans port coal over, the most unusual routes and for distances far in ex cess of normal hauls. This has re sulted in equipment being, scattered- wide ly to other parts of the country. Some time will be required for tht complete relocation of this equip-men.U-aad- me?rn while it is not to be nticipated that ail mines can be supplied with cars to the full normal extent. "It is hoped that the general pub lic, the coal operators and the min ers will all appreciate these difficul ties and will make allowance for the time required to restore normal con ditions. Conditions, to Change Gradually. "The railroad administration will continue to distribute coal to" protect those regions whose supply has been inadequate ' until they can be sup plied from normal sources. "Just as soon as practicable resru lations in connection with the use of bituminous coal for power, light and heat will be rescinded or modified and- the same is true of the supplying of coal to necessary Industries. It will be necessary to observe conditions as the situation progresses before def inite time can be fixed for changing or tnese regulations and orders.' ivo tormal announcement was is sued by Fuel Administrator Garfield. BALLOT MAY CARRY ..PENALTY QUESTION Governor Awaits Opinion Attorney-General. of SPECIAL VOTE OPPOSED Capital Punishment Amendment to Be Submitted May 2 1 if Law Officer Permits., SALEM, Or Dec; 10. (Special.) If Attorney-General Brown holds that the legislature, which convenes here next month, has a legal right to call a special election on May 21, the date of the regular 1920 primary nomination election. Governor Olcott will recommend to the lawmakers that they refer the question of re storing capital punishment in Oregon to the voters at that time. Governor Olcott pointed out that regular primary nominating elec tions were confined to republicans and democrats, and unless an addi tional special election was called for that day it would be impossible for all the people to vote on the question to be submitted. Should a special election be called, the governor says it might be possible to prepare a spe cial ballot to be printed separate from the ones used in the nominat ing elections. On this special ballot the question of restoring capital pun ishment could be submitted. "I would be strictly opposed to calling .a special election for this purpose if it were necessary to have the . election . on any day other, than that, of the p'rimary election," said the executive. "A special election held on a date other than the pri mary election day would necessitate an expenditure of approximately 100.000. If it were held on primary ejection day. however, the same judges and clerks and the same gen eral election machinery would be available at an additional expense of not more than a few thousand dol lars. If it could be done in that way I would be in favor of having the people pass upon the question at that time." Governor Clcott has been advised by Attorney-General Brown that in event a special election could be held n primary day -the mere fact that a constitutional amendment was passed roviding for the restoration of capi tal punishment would not in itself sufficient actually to restore that form of punishment. It will be necessary, the attorney- genertil has stated, for the legislature ither to re-en? old stati tes or en act new ones i roviding for the oper ation of the death penalty. After the passage in 1914 of the constitutional amendment inhibiting the exercise of the death penalty in the state, the egislature repealed some of the stat utes covering the subject of capital punishment end consequently no such aws exist upon the statute books to day. The attorney-general has informed the governor, however, that at i.he special session in January those old laws could be re-enacted or new ones substituted for them, but such laws would not.be effective until the peo pie had voted to reato.e capital pun ishment by enactment of a constitu tional amendment, after which laws passed by the special session would become in full force. tions are concerned, they are not as exquisitely trained in voice ' placing, etc, as might be expected, yet they sing their own music in rollicking, hearty and often pathetic fashion.
