Characterized by Apathy
Light Vote Expected
in City
HOT FIGHT IN ALEX. CO.
Walter T. Oliver Democratic NOmi-
nee For State Senate Opposed by j..
H. Dodge Republican Nominee.

An election will be held in this city
Tuesday for the purpose of electing a
state senator to represent the four
teenth senatorial district and also to
elect delegate to the state legisla-
ture to represent this city and Alex
andria county in that body. -
The only opposition is that to Wal
Ter Tancil Oliver, democratic nominee,
for the state senate, who is being OPP
posed by J. H. Dodge, republican
nominee CT Manassas, Mr.. Oliver it
is generally conceded will prove an
easy winner, as the democratic nomi-
nation is regarded as equivalent to an
election.
Charles T. Jesse of Alexandria
county. is the democratic nominee for
the state legislature. The republicans,
however, did not put up candidate
against Mr.. Jesse.
In view of the fact that there is
t&t little opposition light vote it is
thought will be polled, as general
apathy prevails.
In Alexandria county, where al
most every candidate for county of
fees has opposition, heavy vote will
be polled.
The various candidates for office
have been working hard for several
months past in the interest of their
candidacy and there is every indica
ton of big vote in that county on
that day when an addition u the coun-
ty officers the candidates. for the
state senate and Legislature will ne
chosen.

MINERS DEFY COURT
ORDER AND STRIKE
Chiefs Forbidden Any Move
to Direct Progress of
WalkOut
WARNING OF GOMPERS
Defiance Bluntly Displayed by Work
ers' Leaders in the Mine Fields of
the Nation.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The big news
| in the coal strike situation is as fol
lows:
Report given out by union officials
in Chicago declared that 377 900 coal
miners had answered the strike call
and left the mines. They also said the
number probably would be increased
to 100000, the total union membership
Federal Judge A. B. Anderson, in
indianapolis, issued temporary in
junction, restraining initiation or
support of the strike by the mine
workers union officials.
Leaders in the miners union met
the courts action with denunciation
as "violation of Constitutional
rights" and with predictions that it
would be disregarded.
Samuel Gompers and other Fedora
lion of Labor officials protested as a
delegation to Acknowledgement Pal
mer against the injunction.
Heads Of railway brotherhoods also
conferred with the Acknowledgement
and offered services to intervene.
President Wilson fixed maximum
prices of soft coal.
Fuel Administrator Garfield rostor-
ed war-orders, which will give the
Railroad Administration power to
seize coal in transit and divert it to
consumption in accordance with pre-
ference list.
United States tloops began arriv
:ng in some of the mining districts to
keep order and protect miners who
continue to work.
In Congress the House unanimously
passed the Senate resolution pledging
support to the Administration.
Chicago, Nov. Coal mining
operations in the great fields of Il
inc;s, Indiana and Ohio ceased last
night. according IL reportS from the
chief mining centers.
While the strike did not become eff
rsctivc officially until midnight, there
were few men below ground at q
o'clock last night.
That the tieup would be complete
IN spite of the governments order
was the opinion generally expressed.
Andrew 7. Murphy. publisher of
Black Diamond. and for thirty-fve
wears an authority on the coal mine
situation in the Middle West, predicts
that the strike will be of short iura-
ton.
"Thc Injunction directed against the
United Mine Workers officials at
indianapolis will bring the strike to a
head very soon, in my opinion ne
said. Gas I understand it, the injunc-
ton ties up the funds o, the union
and they cannot carry on the fight
long without money"
Mr.. Murphy said he believed the
mine organization committee would
resc;nd the strike order within the
next two or three days, order the men
hack 70 work and then open negotia-
tions with the government and NINE
! owners.
~ don't think there vii! be much
difficulty in reaching an agreement
after the demands of the miners are
actually taken up for discussion he
said.

When she had heard of Jesus
came in the press behind, and touch.

For she said, If may touch but
mis- clothes, | shall be whole.
And straightway the fountain of
her blood was dried up; and she felt
in her body that she was healed of
that plague.
And Jesus, Immediately knowing
in himsel fthat virtue had gone out
of him, turned him about in the
press, and said, Who touched my
clothes?
And his disciples said unto him,
Thou seest the multitude thronging
thee, and sayest thou, Who touched
me?
Tnd he looked round about to see
her that had done this thing.
But the woman fearing and tremb-
ling, knowing what was done in her,
came and fell down before him, and
told him all the truth.
And he said unto her, Daughter,
thy faith hath made thee whole; go
in peace and be whole of thy plague.
