PlTTSBUhG, Nov. 10-Highway robberies, race riots, and murders "seem to be increasing in spite of prohibition" said pr. Henry Van Dyke, former American minister to The Netherlands, in an address here tonight before the worlds Christian citizenship conference.
 "The world may be more sober" he said, "but it certainly is not more sane. On the contrary, it seems as if the pressure of the human passion and impulse has become more intense while the re- straint of reason and conscience has relaxed. What else could you expect from a world which does not go to church and whose chief in- tellectuaI influence Is the moving picture show?"

Do Not Fear Jail

It isn't a question of going to iail. Ihese men have no fear of that. What they are debating is the welfare of the united Mine Workers, as affected by court order requiring the strike order to be rescinded. They are debating 100, whether they should take a posi- tlon that would be a stand against the attltude or the federal government.
 John L. Lewis, acting president of the mine workers. at the close of each session today, said:
 We haven't a thing to give out at this time" at
 Other officials and delegates adon+ad the same attitude.
 There was every indication that +hs niaJorlty or the mine workers are de- termlned to weigh all phases of the is- sue before taking any step toward dis oDedlence of the strike order.

STILL IN ON COURT.
 ORDER TO GALL .OFF COAL STRIKE
Formal Action Not Expected B e fore Noon Today Widely Divergent Opin- ion Is Known To Exist
IRepubncan \. p. Leaseo wlret

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 11.-At 2 o'clock this morning United Mine Workers executives were still in con- ference and had not started to take vote OF their action with regard to the order of the federal court that they call off the strike of coal miners.
 The union heads, who include inter national officers, district presidents and members of the executive board and scale committee, resumed the de- Alterations at 7:30 o'clock tonight. But it was the general belief that no formal action would be taken before tomor- row. In view of the provision of the court order, instructing the miners chiefs to present to the court for ap- proval their order withdrawing the strike call of October 15 within 72 hours, it was predicted tonight that no announcement would be made py the miners before the expiration of that time. The court order was signed at 1925 p. m. on Saturday, therefore the union officials must report to the court by that time tomorrow.
 Although extraordinary measures were taken to prevent the proceedings from becoming public, it was ascer- tained from disconnected remarks dropped by delegates as they left the hall for lunch and dinner, that the dis cussion brought out wide divergence of opinion as to what course the coal workers should pursue with regard to the order of the court.
 Alexander Howat, president of the Kansas district, remarked to Frank Harrington, president of the Illinois district as they passed newspapermen:
 That was good speech you made, frank. l agree with it fully"
 MT. Howat, before leaving Kansas Tor the conference, gave out a state ment In which he declared that "re- careless of injunction, prisons and judges, he intended to fight
