COAL FIELDS.
ARE CRITICAL
BIG STRIKE DECLARED
IN ILLINOIS DISTRICT
Garfield Tells. Southwestern
Miners, Strike Cannot F.
Be Permitted.

SPRINGFIELD. Ills, Oct. 16.-More
than forty coal mines in central and
southern Illinois. representing between
1000 and $4,000 miners, were shut
down today and the coal mining in
dustry Of the state tonight faces prac-
tcal paralysis, operators here stated as
a result of the spreading strike OF
miners who demand immedtne wage in
creases.
Miners said today they were given TO
understand that the new wage agree
ment, reached Mt Washington, D.. c..
would be effective without delay. Oner-
ators, on the: other hand pointed to
clnuse making the increases contingent
upon an advance by the fuel adnin!s-
tration in Illinois coal prices. declaring
present prices nre prohibitive Of wage
increases.
The Washington agreement provided
for an increase Of ten cents n ton for
mining coal, q flat rate 6f five dollars
a day for day work, and n fifteen per
cent increase for yardage and dead
work.
Mine officials said they expected the
strike to spread rapidly. According to
Peoria operators a general wahout IN
Illinois. Indiana. Pennsylvania and
West Virginia was probable.
Today was the beginning Of the Sec
ond pny period for October, and miners
insisted that the advance in pay begin
today.
pPresidcnt Frank harrington. and
other officials Of the Illinois mners
organization. were attending the con-
yentIon Of the state federation Of lci'or
at Joliet and were notified of the strike.
Won't Permit Strikes
Aroused by news Of the pending
strikes in the southwest, Fuel Admin
istrator Garfield" today telegraphed the
heads Of the district unions demanding
that there be no walkouts and giving
warning that the would use every power
committed to him 10 prevent them. SIM
liar messages went to the operators in
the territory.
News that the strike had been called
off was received at the fuot adminiS-
tration tonight with qualification. Of
ficials said there was no doubt any diff
fcrcnces over the existing agreement
could be smoothed out.
Following is the message DR.. Garfield
sent the union officials. similar tele-
grams.:G .:Going to the operators in the
territory involved:
II am informed: that the officers OF
your national association have appealed
to you to use every effort in your nSSis1'l
to avert strike ut this time in Vfcw q
the national. situation and the great
task imposed on President Wilson. /
cannot FOO strongly reinforce this mes
sRge.
Strikes must not take place. II they
have been ordered the order ought tn
be revoked at once. The terms of the
agreement agreed upon Mt Washington
between operators and miners are fair
7 understand that the only clause OBJ
jected to is the clause providing for
penalty. 1t is just that this should be
agreed to.
"1 shall! use every power committed
to me to prevent strikes and warn you
against allowing 1he. order to stand. II
you cannot. compose differences with OPP
orators at home. meet ne here In Wash
ington, meanwhile keeping mines at
work"
