were employed at night.
Prominent in the circular sent to
the officers of locals was para
graph which called their attention to
the provisions of our district
agreement to permit sufficient
number of men to remain at work
TO insure proper care and protection
of all mining property. 1t is abso-
lutely necessary that you comply
with the instructions OF your inter
national and district officers in this
respect"
This order, officers of the union
said, insured protection for valuable
mining machinery and would insure
the operation of pumps to prevent
the flooding of mines.
1t was explained, however, that
the officers of the local organiza-
tons will not permit the operators
to take any undue advantage" Of this
part of the district agreement.
Baker Won't Talk.
Washington, Oct. 30.-Officials

serted that troops would be used in
the strike only as a last resort.
Secretary Baker was asked during
the day regarding the use of troops,
but replied that was a matter ION

Sending a battalion from Camp

filed in district court yesterday.
Omar Derycker is chef at the
Omaha Field club and he earns

spite of this, says Mrs. Omar, he re-
fuses to buy her a loaf of bread and
jug of wine, or the other necessities
of life.
She says she herself worked and
earned money and bought a Buick

to wake him. Accordingly the order
will not become effective until to-
morrow. DR.. Grayson had given per-
mission to put it before the presi-
dent without delay.
DR.. Garfield said that the plans
contemplated that all questions of
allocating coal would be left to Di-
rector General Hines for settlement.
The former, as fuel administrator,
will give his authority to Mr.. Hines
orders, but will not remain in Wash
ington to undertake supervision of
the work.
Adjust Disputes.
Indianapolis, Oct. 30.-After dis
patching to Washington q telegram
to Secretary of Labor Wilson, in
which the presidents position on the
coal strike was characterized as that
of an usurper, the executive board
of the United Mine Workers of
America today turned to routine
business. Although the actual
strike was less than So hours away,
the governing body of the union de-
voted the afternoon to adjusting dis
putes between locals and individual
members and at the end of their ses-
sion said there was nothing Of
public interest" in the proceedings.
Union headquarters was frankly
interested in the arrival here tomor-
row of c. B. Ames, assistant to the
attorney general, in charge of suits
brought under the antitrust and fuel
and food control laws. The union
leaders learned with apparent equa-
nimity that there had been unusual
activity among local agents of the
Department of Justice and pro-
fessed faith that their every act had
been under warrant of constitutional
rights, which no statute could abro-
gate.
No Announcement Made.
At the office of the United States
district attorney there was no an
nouncement as to what proceedings
might be instituted in regard to the
strike. L. Ert Slack, district attor-
ney, was said to be in Chicago, but
members of his staff would not ad-
NIT that his trip there had anything
to do with the strike situation. They
said he was expected back at mis-
desk here tomorrow.
The union officials said the mine
owners and public could rest as
sured that no act of the organiza-
ton would be allowed to work phys.
ical damage to the coal diggings.
They pointed out that the strike or
der provided that local unions must
allow sufficient "men to remain at
work to insure the proper care and
protection of all mining properties

Wilson Approves.
Breaking down the barriers which
had kept members of the cabinet
away from his sick room, President
Wilson took hand in the fight to-
day and personally approved every
detail in the general plan of dealing
with conditions likely to arise with
the walkout of the soft coal miners.
For 20 minutes the president,
propped in bed, went over with At
torney General Palmer the various
steps, heard what orders had been
issued and was put in intimate touch
with all arrangements. The presi-
dent, it was said, was especially
gratihed to learn of protective meas
ures, both for the homes and the
mines.
The coal strike took precedence
over the peace treaty in the senate,
which for four hours debated and
then adopted resolution pledging
its support to the government in
maintaining order during the present
industrial emergency. Efforts to
have the house take similar action
failed because Of opposition by re-
publican leaders.
In and out of congress, however,
sentiment seemed to turn through
one groove. and there were express
sions of general approval of the gov
crnment's determination to keep the
mines in full operation.
Protection of Miners.
While the only statement given
out after the special meeting of the
cabinet dealt with issuance of an
order relating to the fafng OF
maximum coal price, the members
were understood to have considered
seriously means of protecting
miners who will not strike. Reports
received from confidential sources
during the past few days, officials
said, indicated that a considerable
number would keep on turning out
coal if afforded protection, and this,
officials added, would be given IN
abundant measure.
State and city police and regula-
ton constabulary forces will be
pressed into service first, and troops
will be called only as last resort,
according to those familiar with the
program. Secretary Daniels an.
nounced today that sailors and
marines will be shifted to land duty
and attached to military organiza..
tons if their services are demanded
by the president. There has been no
statement, however, as to the policy
or determination of usingN troops.
Much will depend on what happens
after the mines shut down tomorrow
night.
Old Order Obtains.
The order re-establishing the old
maximum coal prices of the fuel
administration was completed to-
night at a conference of DR.. H. A.
Garfield and railroad administration
officials. 1t was taken Immediately

clared that the bituminous coal
miners, in calling a strike, were "en..

and that congress had full power
ito condemn such a cruel con-

"The sacredness of their individual
right to labor on such terms as they
choose and to leave their employ

tect or justify them in such con-
spiracy," he said.
