by favoring settlement OF the coal
strike through a netting Of the opera

ment issued today by the information
al executive board of the United Mine

also declared there can be no turning
back or turning aside. The sacrifices
already made are too great"
The statement reviews the strike
and continues I'VE deplore the loss Of
life, acts of violence, and destruction
of property which have taken place.
We are for peace and the establish
ment of right relations between en-
ployers and employees. We have exa?-
cised our efforts at all times toward
righteous dealings"
The miners asked for conference,
time and again, it is stated and quit
work only after they had been re-
fused a hearing repeatedly.
'Ninety-tive per cent OF all the men
employed ceased work and are still
idle" the statement asserts. THE
statement widely circulated by the
coal operators representatives that
ten per cent of their employees we're
attempting to force ninety per cent is
absurd and unqualihedly false. The

ticials of the war department have
been in long distance telephone COM
munication with the governors OF
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio in
an effort to determine how soon the
militia organizations of those states
could be modified and sent to the

The department has been energetic
in its efforts to make all preparations
for the possible mobilization of the

est inquiries of the department were
directed toward ascertaining how
soon the New York, Pennsylvania and
Ohio troops could be put in motion
in the present condition without de-
lay thatswould be necessitated by re-

In the theoretical organization of
the militia the Pennsylvania and New

combines with Michigan to fill a di-
vision and the other divisions are

WASHINGTON, d. c., May s.
It has been learned. on high authority
that the war depas Gment has under
consideration an early and adequate
reinforcement OF the command OF
General Funston at Vera Cruz to
carry out any movement that might
be necessary into the interior of Mex
> leo.
The question OF placing large force
OF Americans in Vera Cruz that would
be strong enough to defend that port
against any attack or to undertake
a possible campaign against Mexico
City was laid before, the president and
his cabinet by Secretary of War Car
rison.
War department officials, 1t was
stated, decided that reinforcements
we're needed at Vera Cruz at the late
conference OF Secretary Garrison and
the general STAFF last night. The sec
rotary and his advisors went over the
entire military situation at Vera Cruz
and other points in Mexico before
reaching this decision. Secretary
Garrison called the conference after

OIL Wells Fired.
Among other dispatches received
was one which reported the firing of
two oil wells at Tampico. The pro-
lection of American lives and prop
erty, 1t was stated, was the;prime mo-
tive behind the determination OF army
and navy officers that the American
forces in Mexico should be reinforced.
Secretary Garrison declined to dis
cuss the situation nor would he COM
ment on his conference with the staff
officers last night further than to say
that he laid before them report
from General Funston. In this re-
port, it was said, Geenral Funston
had embodied accounts brought to
Vera Cruz by refugees arriving from
Mexico City concerning the situation
in the capital. Mr.. Garrison would
not reveal the character OF these re-
ports.
"All l can say is that no additics.:
troop movements have been ordered"
said Secretary Garrison adding that
he would make no prediction. concern
ing possible future orders.
