It was understood that instructions were given on the policy of the government toward the coal strike situation. Emergencies to Be Met. "This office is ready to meet any emergency," Mr. Saunders said. "We are in close touch and communication with operators and those in charge of production in the coal fields through out the state. "I am in full accord with Governor Louis F- Hart's policy toward the sit uation here and will co-operate with him in any action that may be found necessary. The interests of the pub lic and of business are paramount to the interests of any other persons, whether they be the operators or the miners. I don't care .who is responsi ble for holding up the production of coal. There must be production." Mr. Saunders was in touch today in western Pennsylvania will meet Governor Sproul of Pennsylvania aX Philadelphia Monday to discuss plans for protecting miners wishing to re turn to work, according to informa tion received here today by the opera tors' committee. Those in close touch with the situa tion regarded this as the first indica tion of an attempt to break the strike in the bighly organised central fields. CHETENNE, VVyo-.

Results Expected This Week. Mr. Saunders intimated that the government's activities, set in motion in Washington today, should bring results next week or that drastic measures would follow. "Attitude of miners in the state of Washington is similar to that of the miners of other good states." Ernest Newsham, secretary of district 10, United Mine Workers of America, said this morning. "They would rather remain idle than accept the meager increase offered by lr. Garfield," he said, referring to the final offer of a 14 per cent increase decided on in Washington, D. C "We are at a loss i to understand what position William Wilson, secretary of labor., occupies." Secretary Newsham said that he ' had not been informed of the attitude o the district attorney's office here further than the general instructions sent from Washington. D. C. He said that miners in district 10 feel that they are not receiving their just dues, because Mr. Wilson offered 31.6 per cent increase, and Dr. Garfield an nounces only a 14 per cent rise, less than that of the operators them selves. No meeting of the Washington Coal Operators' association will be held before Monday. OVERSEAS MEN" DIG COAL Forty Veterans Turn Out 60 to 70 Tons lor Day's Work. TACOMA. Wash., Nov. 29. Forty overseas veterans, only six of whom had ever worked in a mine before. were getting out between 60 and 70 tons of coal a day when work finished for the week today at the Wilkeson Coal & Coke company mine, according to Superintendent Joseph T. Lee. Tho company resumed production last Monday morning three weeks after the beginning of the coal strike, announcing that it would employ any American who applied for work. The majority of the overseas men have been obtained in acomt and Se attle, it was said. The mine is being operated on an open shop basis, but there has been no disturbance from the striking miners at Wilkeson, Mr, Lee said. Tho company was employing 125 en and producing 300 to 350 tons a 6jy when the mines closed. MIXING 1'OW.V IX DARKNESS Uajnc, 'Wash., Closes Down After 2 0 Years 'Without Strike. SEATTLE. Wash, Nov. 29 The Jlttle coal mining town of Bayne. in King county, reported today that it expected to be dark tonight except for candles and kerosene lamps as the mines of tho Carbon Coal & Clay company at Bayne planned to shut down at the close of today's work liayno has been called the model mining village ot Washington. The mine Is to be allowed to lie idle for a time, D. Si. Hanley. presi dent of the company, has announced. The fans, motors and tools have been taken away. As fast as the build ings in the village are vacated they will be boarded up. President Hanley paid the mine has had no labor trouble for -0 years. The men,- now, he declared, are re fusing to work because of condl tiona in the central competitive field. Ing out geographical lines that here tofore have kept republican nomina tions in the east and middle west. In 'a statement supporting his pro posed ticket Senator Jones says in part: We are beginning to take an inter est in partisan politics. Men are be- ng talked of as candidates ot the different political parties for the presidency. Their availability, capac ity and standing are being discussed. This is well. We want the best men to lead each party. Geography should not alone determine the choice of candidates. It has had much to do with it heretofore, but will have less hereafter. We have no solid north; our coun try will be better and stronger when we have no solid south. Let's break up the south politically, as well as the north. The time Is opportune, the conditions are favorable, the men are hi.ru. What's wrong with this ticket. Poindexter of Washington for presi rtunt. and Governor-elect Morrow of Kentucky for vlce-pr6eidentt I hav not talked with fomacxter about it. It Is my own idea. It looks good to me.

TROOPS WILL GO TO MINES (Continued From First Pajre.) Rail Heads " Appeal to Governors for Troops to Operate Trains; Penalties Are Provided. KANSAS CITT, Mo.. Nov. ?9. Heads of railroads centering in Kansas City tonight addressed telegrams to the governors of Missouri and Kansas asking them to appeal to the- federal government to supply troops to in sure operation of trains during the strike of railway switchmen here. Eight roads are affected. Railroad officials tonight said ef forts would .be made with such switchmen as remain loyal, and by the transfer of men from other de partments, to keep trains moving. Freight trains made np this afternoon were leaving the terminals here to night. About 1S00 men are affeeted by the strike, which was called late . today, and which has been termed by national union officials as unauthor ized. Strikers Give No Warning. The full effect of the strike will not be known until 8 o'clock tomorrow morning when the day crews are scheduled to go to work. Switchmen of the Chicago, Rock Island tc Pa cific and Chicago, Burlington & Quincy who are members of the switchmen's union, are not leaving their places, but members of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, employed by terminal roads, and the terminal company are going on strike. "Absolutely no warning of an Im pending strike was given the rail roads and no demands have been pre sented," said W. M. Corbett, head of the Kansas City Terminal railway. The first thing we bad was a rumor and then the men began leaving their places.' The real difficulty," continued Mr. Corbett, "is in the handling of freight in the several Kansas City railroad yards. The 175 switchmen employed by the terminal company are em ployed chiefly In the handling of passenger equipment, but the 1300 other switchmen affected by the strike order are chiefly used in the movement of freight. several hundred carloads of coal are available at the outlying railroad yards, but cannot be brought to the city where the demands of the schools, hospitals and homes are greatest, if the strike is effective." A trainload of regular troops on its way to, southern Kansas, was handled through the yards without delay, Mr. corbett said. CLEVELAND, Nov. 23. W. G. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Rail road Trainmen, today telegraphed W. M. Corbett, government railroad rep resentative at Kansas City, that the proposed strike of their trainmen there is illegal and that no protec tion or benefits of the brotherhood will be given to men engaging in il legal strikes at Kansas City or other points. Mr. Lee fully upheld the warning issued to trainmen at Kansas City by A. carrol), general chairman of the trainmen. . ' Mr. Lee's telegram follows: Penalties Are Provided. "W. M. Corbett, terminal manager, Kansas City Southern railroad, Kan sas City, Mo.: Associated Press Quo tation of notice given by S. A.
