 whether production was to be stopped indefinitely in a large part of the bit luminous zone or whether any con- siderable number of workers were willing to return to work.
 No plans have been made for open ing any of the mines with imported labor, and old men who return to work are to be treated as if they had never laid down their tools according to Thomas T. Brewster, chairman of the Coal Operators Scale Committee. No miner will be discriminated against, he said.
 Reports from most of the large mining centers indicated that while a large number of the mines would be in shape for the miners to resume work, the operators did not expect many union men to re-enter the workings today.
 While operators admitted that the figures given out by union leaders as to the number of men on strike, were approximately correct, they pointed out that close to 150,000 non union men were at work in the Penn sylvania and West Virginia fields, and that nearly 10000 union miners were working in Kentucky under contracts signed recently.
 Federal troops today were in the mining regions of West Virginia, Ten nessee, Wyoming and New Mexico, under orders to preserve the peace in case disorders arise in connection with the strike One company of the 32d Infantry also was on it's way from San Diego, California, to Utah for duty in the coal fields of that state. The national guard of Colorado and Oklahoma have already been sent to the coal districts of those states and several companies of state troops have mobilized at Birmingham, Ala bama, in case their services are needed quickly to quen disturbances around the mines there.

 ary injunction, which was set by i Judge Anderson for next Saturday. It

Lefty" Tyler is 20 go to the
Giants in exchange for the hard

have been consummated during the

ability on the part OF McGraw TO
guarantee Mitchell that Robertson
would report to the Bruins when

Robertson refused TO report to
the Giants this spring, insisting on
playing with the Washington
Americans. McGraw endeavored to
engineer a three-cornered deal with
Washington and st. Louis, whereby
the Giants were to secure Catcher
Gonzales, the Cardinals shortstop,
Lavan. and the Senators outfield-
Pirates broke up the trade by re-
fusing to waive on Robertson. Con

were outright sales.
