GOVERNMENT
MAY INTERVENE

Washington, Oct. 17.-FederaI Fuel
Administrator Garfield today warned
coal operators and miners where
strikes have occurred or are impend-
ing that the government would take
charge Of coal production IL It con-
tinued to be threatened by strikes.
After a conference with John P.
White, president Of the United Nine
Workers, over strikes called or i'm
pending in Illinois. Ohio and Indiana,
Mr.. Garfield sent q telegram to opera
tora 9nd miners alike giving notice
that The government would deal most
drastically with strikes intended to
force a decision on a revision Of gov
eminent prices to meet wage increas-
es.
The fuel administrators telegram
follows:
American citizens engaged IN the
mining Of coal, whether operators or
miners, are for the most part mind
ful Of the fact that our country is at
war and that the burden rests upon
them to produce the coal needed
without interruption. But there are
evidently some who fail to under
stand the gravity Of the situation
and who do not hesitate to advocate
strikes at the present time as a
means Of forcing the government to
at once decide whether the wage in
crease agreed to at the meeting rec
emily held at Washington by the
operators and miners OF the central
district should justly be covered by
an advance in the prices fixed by the
president.
The matter has been submitted to
me and all concerned are expected to
cooperate. / am giviHg immediate
and close attention to the question
and hope to reach a decision at an
early date. The only circumstance
within my control which will delay
that decision will be the violation OF
the spirit OF the arrangement be-
tween the operators and miners
which was that, under no circum-
stances, should the production Of coal
in the United States at present be
allowed to diminish.
IF either the operators or the min
ers attempt to bring pressure upon
me to reach q decision / shall post-
pone II and use whatever powers are
necessary to compel the production
Of coal to meet the country's needs.

Asked On Long List of
Products
(By Associated Press.l

Washington, Oct. 17.-Eastern
railroads ~>day, asking the interstate
commerce commission for temporary
financial relief through certain
freight rate increases, gave notice
that formal applications for general
increases Of an extended nature soon
would be asked.
Representatives OF the railroads
told the interstate commerce conn
mission that they had not come 10
ask for a general rate advance at
this time but to confer with the
commission with the idea Of incTeas-
ing rates on certain commodities.
Representatives of the roads eK-
pressed the hope that the commits
sion would see 1T soon to grant I'm
creased rates on petroleum, livestock
and grain, which were proposed some
time ago, but are at present under
suspension.
Approval of the railroads pro-
posals, outlined today, will be re-
garded by the roads only in the
nature Of temporary relief, the conn !
mission was told.

counsel for the executives said.

riers will be brought to the atten-
ton Of the commission in a much
more general and specific way" f.9
The list Of commodities upon which
increases are desired is a long one.
The chief items are cement, brick,
stone, sand and copper.

permit the prisoners to ride and in
sisted that they walk the longest
possible route to the station through
the principal streets. The mob fol-
lowed, throwing sticks and stones.
The procession was stopped at each
street lamp to prolonE the batting,
while the crowd shouted kill the
traitors. General Arloff was struck
in the eye by a missile while Gen.
eral VanOufsky's spine was injured
seriously.
When the prisoners arrived at the
station the mob demanded that they
be put in a convict car instead of the
coaches prepared for them. The
guard compromised on the baggage
car, but the mob still refused to per-
NIT the train to depart.
The situation became menacing
and, when the mob opened fire on the
train, one OF the cadet guards order
ed the engineer to pull out as quickly
as possible.

RIGHT TO Dirt

Whether or not Fargo property
owners on the line OF sewer projects
have a right to the dirt displaced by
the sewer is a question that has been
put up to w. H. Shure, city attorney,
Attorney ]. G. Pfeffer says they
have, and told the Fargo commission
so this morning.
Attorney Pfeffer appeared before
the commission, and asked for dirt
from the Tenth street south trunk
sewer for filling the yard OF the new
Catholic church at the corner Of
Eighth avenue and Tenth street
south. which is low. He claimed that
right to the dirt had been refused.
The commission referred the mat

"As was to be expected at this

retarded the allied advance. The

beyond.
THE infantry was further imped-

Breadth of front is an essential

The zone of operations in the
