TO STOP OPINTERFERENCE
WITH COAL PRODUCTION
Fuel Administrator Will Take
Drastic Steps to End
Mine Trouble.

Washington, oct. l7.--Whatever
powers necessary will be employed by
the federal government to stop the
strikes of coal miners in the middle
west and prevent interruption or the
nations fuel production.
This warning was given today by
Fuel Administrator Garfield in a sharp
telegram to miners and operators in
the fields involved. reminding them
of their pledge not to allow the output
of coal to be diminished and declaring
that any attempt to bring pressure to
bear upon him to force a revision of
the coal prices would result in post
ponement of n decision on that qnes-
ton
The fuel administrator did not COM
ment upon his warning or go into de-
tail about the steps he proposes to
take If it is not needed. other than to
say that while the country is at war
no interference with the fuel produc-
ton is to be tolerated. Congress has
empowered the president to take over
mines and operate them if he deems it
necessary.
Fuel administration officials say the
men now striking in Illinois and In
diana want the increased wages to
take effect Immediately instead of ait
the next pay period, about November /.

third of the big shipping mines in H.

Manufacturing concerns and private
individuals appealed to Governor Low
den today to bring about relief Of coal
shortages in various parts of the state,
but the governor referred the parties
to the federal authorities. who have the
full control of the coal situation.
