TOR ISSUES ORDERS.
OLTMPLA. Wash., Oct. 31. (Spe
cial.) No trouble is expected at the
various coal mines of this state to
morrow because of the strike as the
associated mine owners have decided
not to attempt to operate until a na
tional settlement is reached. Mem
bers of the miners' union employed in
the state will strike, about 6000 men
being affected. It is estimated, simply
in obedience to the national strike
order. Both operators and employes
in- this state have stated that they
have no personal or working differ
ences, but that the consequences of
a general strike cannot be avoided by
either party.
Under the working contracts the
miners' unions will supply engineers
and pump men to protect the mines
from damage while idle, and also re
pair gangs. The owners are bound
by the same agreement not to at
tempt to operate the mine with non
union labor unless the agreement is
clearly abrogated.
What is regarded as the most seri
ous consequence of the strike in
Washington is the possible loss of the
domestic market to local mines. Brit
ish Columbia mines, operated in many
instances with oriental labor are ex
pected to establish themselves in
coast markets at prices with which
the local mines oannot compete. The
miners themselves appreciate this
danger, but from tonight's indications
the strike order will be generally
obeyed, with the slight possibility ol
the defection at Bellingham, where
union miners have displayed a dis
position to remain at work.
'5ince his declaration to state offl
c .Is of the miners' union that state
jm thority would stand with the gov
W ment in resisting any effort to
ff iieze or starve the country into sub
nl.'ssion. nothing more of official na
ture has been issued by Governor
Liouis F. Hart. Ample resources for
handling disorder are available in
state forces if they are needed, it
is believed, but the probability of no
attempt to use strike breakers re
moves the prospect of disorder.
Sound cities are preparing to draw
fuel supplies from British Columbia
when present stores are exhausted,
and the abundance of wood on the
west aide relieves the prospect of
hardship In the smaller cities and
country. It is expected that suffi
cient coal can also be obtained from
British Columbia for eastern Wash
ington sections where timber is
scarce.
While injunction proceedings un
dertaken in the east are watched
closely by state officials, there is no
statutory foundation for a similar
proceeding in this state.
SEATTLE. Oct. 31. The strike or
der still stands so far as Washing
ton's 70 coal mines are concerned,
Robert Harlin, president of district
Xo. 10, United Mine Workers of
America, said tonight. The strike
virtually took effect in this state
late today when the day shifts went
off duty. About 6000 men are af
fected. Pump and enginemen were
to remain at work caring for mine
properties.
Every coal miner in Washington
will strike at midnight tonight.
President Harlin said here today j
when told of the Injunction granted
in Indianapolis:
"All I have to say is that the in
junction will not stop the strike of
union coal miners here in Washing
ton." Mr. Harlin said.
Mr. Harlin declared he was certain
the strike plans had reached a point
where they could not be stopped.
He asserted that he agreed with
eastern union officials who declared
the miners could not be reached in
time to stop the walkout.
Endorsement of the coal strike was
voted here today by a special state
labor conference representing nearly
all unions in Washington, called by
the Washington State Federation of
Labor.
The conference was called for other
purposes than the coal situation,
adopting resolutions favoring na
tionalization of public utilities and
.-many essential industries and approv
ing the Plumb plan of railroad con
trol. BELLINGHAM. Wash., Oct. 31.
Officials of the local union of the
united mine workers announced to
day that the 164 union men employed
in the . Bellingham coal mines would
quit work at midnight tonight in
.obedience to the etrike order.
The union by unanimous vote sent
a delegation to Seattle yesterday to
confer with President R. A. Harlin
ot district No. 10, in an effort to ob
tain permission to remain at work
during the strike,- but were advised
by Mr. Harlin that "his hands were
tied."
' Alexander McLaughlin, president
of the local union, intimated today
that he expected federal mediation in
connection with the strike.
SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 31. The

state representative of the United

L. Lewis, president of the federation.
Approximately 4500 miners in thi
state would have quit work if the
cancellation order had not been re
ceived, McLennan said.
The text of Mr. Lewis' message fol

FACTS CONCERNING COAL STRIKE AND CAUSES LEADING
UP TO IT.
These are the outstanding facts concerning the coal strike and .
what led up to it:
United Mine Workers of America, meeting at Cleveland, Septem
ber 23. sounded the first strike alarm by declaring the wartime wage
agreement ended on November 1.
Executive officers, charged with the duty of negotiating a new
agreement, were ordered to stand out for three demands, and if not
granted, to issue a strike call for more than 400.000 soft coal miners
in 28 states. These demands were:
A five-day working week, a six-hour day and a wage increase of
60 per cent.
At scale committee meetings at Buffalo and Philadelphia miners
and operators threshed over their differences without settlement.
Representatives of the miners contended that the demands were not
arbitrary; that the 60 per cent wage increase was set as a basis for
negotiation; that a six-hour day meant actual time the miners were
to work underground.
The miners insisted on a five-day week, they said, because there
was not four days' , work a week the year round for each miner.
They contended by limiting each miner to five days there would be
a more equitable distribution of the work. The leaders denied that
it was the beginning of a nation-wide campaign for a shorter work
ing schedule.
After failure of the two sides to get together the strike order was
issued and Secretary of Labor Wilson, acting by direction of the
president's cabinet, immediately called into conference the heads
of the mining and operating associations. Subsequently the full
ccale committees of each were called in and various proposals were
offered and rejected.
The final proposal was made by President Wilson. It suggested
negotiation without reservation, submission of questions still in
dispute, with the failure of negotiation, to arbitration and continued
operation of the mines pending final settlement.
The operators, as set forth in a statement by Secretary Wilson,
accepted the offer in its entirety; the miners accepted the offer of
negotiation, "and held the other two for consideration later." This,
as explained by Secretary Wilson, abruptly ended the conference.
The miners in the series of conferences charged that, while the
wartime agreement still bound them to work at the old wartime
wage scale, it removed restrictions in war price of coal and per
mitted operators to charge what they pleased. This, they declared,
had led to profiteering.
An appeal to the miners by President Wilson and announcement
by Attorney-General Palmer that the strike would be considered
"illegal" failed to bring about the rescinding of the strike order.
contemplated at present to revive any
other orders.
While no action is contemplated
now with regard to anthracite coal.
Dr. Garfield said that the course of
prices would- be watched carefully. "
"Jufct the moment anthracite coal
shows any disposition to get away,"
he said, "maximum price orders will
be revised to stop profiteering."
The preference list as it will now
stand will operate in this order:
Railroads, army and navy and other
government departments.
State and county offices and insti
tutions, public utilities.
Retail dealers, manufacturing
plants on the war industries board
preference list; industries not on the
ist; jobbers, lake steamers, steamers
at tidewater. !
Director-General Hlnes today noti
fied all regional directors to carry
ut the order which gives them au
thority to both seize and divert coal
in transit.
Restoration of the coal priorities
means a virtual embargo on the ex
port of coal, as coal for shipment
abroad comes so far down in the list
that there will be none available for
that purpose.
Dr. Garfield gave a comprehensive
explanation of the plan adopted by the
government to safeguard the public
interests.
Our first duty was to protect the
public," he said. "It would have re
quired too much time to set up the
old machinery of the fuel administra
tion, so the department of justice will
have charge of seeing that the maxi
mum price list is observed and the
railroad administration, with its staff
already in the field, will direct the
distribution.
"Any person who is charged more
than the legal price for coal can ob
tain redress by applying to the United
States district attorney in his district
"If the crisis is prolonged, it might
become necessary to call on the pro
ducing district representatives of the
fuel administration. Against such
contingency I have telegraphed these
27 representatives to hold themselves
in readiness to render any assistance
necessary to the district attorneys and
the railroad administration. It is not
expected that thefuel administrators
will be called upon at present.

once for. all, determine whether or
not the working man and woman can

Radicalism Warn Ine Given.
Alexander Howat, president of dis
trict No. 14 (Kansas), in Chicago to
night took a similar attitude toward
the injunction proceedings. He said:
iney say America Is a democracy.
Now is the time for a showdown. The
government's Injunction does not
alarm us."
Mr. Farrington warned the miners
against the taint of radicalism, but
in commenting on the injunction said
ft would tend to produce agitation.
A less belligerent expression came
from Frank J. Drum, president of
district No. 16 of Cumberland, Md.,
who said he did not think the injunc
tion would affect the miners and that
they would quit anyway.
A question in controvc-sy in North
Dakota is whether the miners' con
tract with the operators was effective
until September 20, 1920. The oper
ators contend that they have such a
contract that would make a strike
illegal. Henry Drennan of Billings,
Mont., president of district No. 27, as
serted that was merely the operators'
view and that miners of both Mon
tana and North Dakota would all quit
work. Late tonight, however, orders
signed by Drennan Instructing the
North Dakota miners to stay at work
were received by all local unions in
the state. ,
Coal operators of eastern Kentucky
predicted that less than 5 per cent of
the men would strike.
While operators generally have de
clared they would not attempt to op
erate their mines while the men were
"'R". unless me government or

examination of miners which might

Oklahoma, declared he would not per
mit any operations with green men
such as soldiers.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 31. The big
news in tne coal strike situation to
nay was the federal court's order
rorbidding the restraining order to
stop engineering of the strike. . It
was followed by a long line of de
veiopments ana opened the door to
wide possibilities.
The principal leaders In the miners
union met the court's action with de
nunciation as a "violation of consti
tutional rights," declarations that it
came too late to reach their men with
a countermanding qrder, and with
predictions that it would be disre
garded anyway.
During the night mixed reports
were coming in from the mining
states of men who decided to remain
at work and others vh went on
strike despite the court's restraining
order. It is not possible to estimate
what proportion of the 425,000 miners
affected remained at work and what
proportion walked out. The real test
may not come until Monday. Satur
day is a "dead" day In the mines.
Meanwhile organized labor leaders;
showed signs of taking up cudgels on
a general issue over the right to
strike.
President Gompers of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor, with Vice
President Woll and Secretary Morri
son, protested as a delegation to Attorney-General
Palmer against the
government's action in suing out the
injunction and predicted that it could
"only result in creating new and more
disturbing issues which may not be
confined to the miners."
Heads of the great railway broth
erhoods also conferred with the attorney-general,
but disclaimed that
they did more than offer their serv-
ices to intervene.
Rights 'ot Abridged.
Attorney-General Palmer empha
sized to the labor leaders that the
government's injunction was in no
wise an infringement of the work
ingman's right to strike, 'but that it
was a lawful process against a ca
lamity to the country. He pointed
out that. the injunction had been is
sued for the government acting for
all the people and not for the em
ployers acting in conflict with their
employes.
The attorney-general declined to
predict what would be done if the
miners failed to heed the federal
court's orders, pointing out that the
court itself initiates means to deal
with those who disregard its man
dates. All day long the government con
tinued steadily taking measures to
deal with the practical as well as
the legal phase of the crisis.
President Wilson by executive or
der fixed minimum prices of soft coal.
Fuel Administrator Garfield re
stored the war orders which will
give the railroad administration the
power to seize coal in transit and
divert it to consumption in accord
ance with a preference list arranged
with the idea of doing the greatest
good for the greatest number.
The machinery of the railroad ad
ministration, through which the acts
of the fuel administration will be
carried out, was made ready for func
tioning. United States troops began arriving
in some of the mining districts ready
to take part In keeping order and
protecting those miners who wish to
continue at work. The extent and full
nature of the troop movements were
not disclosed, but it was apparent
that the war department was acting
on a carefully worked out plan to be
ready if the local or state authorities,
re-enforced by federal deputy mar
shals, were unequal to the situation.
Congress continued to show its tem
per and the house amid speeches of
denunciation of an attempt to par
alyze the country unanimously adopted
the senate resolution pledging sup
port to the administration in Its meas
ures to deal with the emergency.
SPRINGFIELD. 111., Oct. 31. Ap
proximately 80.000 soft coal miners in
Illinois had obeyed the strike order
of their officials by 5 o'clock this
afternoon, according to an announce
ment at state miners' headquarters.
Illinois soft coal miners who went
on a strike late today were en
couraged in circulars prepared tonight
by Frank Farrington, district miners
president, to pay no attention to the
threats that troops would be used.
Mines Should Be Avoided.
"Tou should stay away from the
mines, preserve order and do every
thing in your power in a lawful way
to make the strike effective," the cir
cular said. "Threats of placing troops
in the various mining camps need
have no terror for you, as their pres
ence need be of no concern to you if
you stay away from the mines."
Miners were warned to be on their
guard against radicals who might
take advantage of the strike, Far
rington stated, to preach their "Isms."
In a telegram late today to John L.
Lewis, acting president of the United
Mine Workers of America, Farring
ton declared "the Anderson Injunc
tlon only makes us that much more
determined to fight to the bitter end
and offered the Illinois legal depart
ment's aid in combating the govern
ment's restraining order aimed
against the strike.

"Let the consequences be what they
may." said the telegram, "we feel we
must now, once for all, determine
whether or not the working man and
woman can be enslaved by a writ of
injunction."
The men who left the workings of
the 900-odd mines in the Illinois dis
trict before midnight constituted the
day shift of the 90.000 mineworkers.
They took with them their tools and
belongings and an admonition of their
local officials to "keep away from
the shafts."
Only a few of the 10.000 miners who
make up the night force were ex
pected to report for work.
Operators informed their departing
employes that whistles would be
sounded for work as usual tomorrow.
