STRIKE IS INEVITABLE
WILL BE GUARANTEED BY GOV
ERNMENT.
SAYS CONFERENCE OF MINERS
OFFICIALS, UNLESS WAGE
AGREEMENT MADE.
w..,-rn Newspaper Union New. service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington, Oct. 20-The govern
ment, confronted with refusal of the
miners organization to call off the
strike of $4,000 soft coal workers or
dered for Friday night, moved swiftly
today TO protect the people from
great distress. First OF many steps
to deal with n situation admittedly
critical, probably will be these:
Ample protection for miners willing
to remain on the job as urged by Pres
ident Wilson.
Revival of the Fuel Administration,
armed with full wartime powers, to
prevent hOardIng and profiteering.
Ailocation and distribution of coal
to homes, railroads and essential In
dustrles.
Efforts to bring the strike to II
speedy end through mediation.
The government, however. will
make no efforts to bring about indict-
ment OF officers of the United Mine
Workers OF America who called the
strike on charges of conspiracy to re-
iuce production of u needed product.
Government officials said tonight
that reports from confidential sources
showed that not all of the miners
would strike, that public sentiment
was agninst the wnlkout at the begin
ming of winter and that duration of
the strike would be brief.
The position of the government was
announced by Attorney General Pal
mer rs follows:
There can be no doubt that the
government has the power In the pub
lie interest, under the law, to deal
with the projected strike of the btu
minous coal miners, without infring-
ing upon the recognized right of men
In any line of industry to work when
they please and quit work when they
please.
"The illegality OF this strike can
and will i,e established without in any
way impairing the general right to
strike, and the general right to strike
is not i'm issue In any sense whatever
in the present situation. This is true
because the circumstances differenti-
ate this case from the case of any
other strike that has ever taken place
in this country.
IndianapOlis.-After prOnouncing II
strike of bItumlnous coal miners inev-
table and blaming the operators for
forcing IL walkOut that may involve
800. 600 men directly, the conference OF
officials of the United Mine Workers
Of America wound up its business and
dissolved. District presidents AMI
members Of the scale committee left
for their homes to direct the locals in
the strike, which is to become effec-
tive at midnight Friday.
Only new wage agreement to re-
place the one which they claim expired
with the war emergency is wished by
the union, its leaders emphasizing tina;
n call from the mine owners for point
meeting would find the organization
ready to negotiate on any or all of tho
demands formulated Mt the Cleveland
convention Of the union.

Washington, Oct. 3O.-The coal strik.
took precedence over the peace treaty
In the Senate, which for hours was de
bated, and then adopted II resolution
pledging its support to the government
in maintaining order during the pres
ent Industrial emergency. Efforts I"
have the House take similar action
failed because of opposition by Repub-
lican leaders.
In and out OF Congress, however,
sentiment seemed to turn through one
groove und there were expressions of
general approval of the government Z
determination to keep the mines in'fuil
operation.
While the only statement given out
after the special meeting of the cabi-
net dealt with issuance Of an order re-
lating to the filing of n maximum coal
price, the members were understood tn
have considered seriously means Of
protecting miners who will not strike.
The order re-establishIng the old
maximum coal prices of the fuel adj
ministrntiOn was completed tonight at
conference of DIR. II. A. Garfield an''
railroad administration officials. II
was taken Immediately to the White
House for President Wilson'S sigma
ture.
But the President had gone to sleep
after his arduous dny. and II wns
deemed inadvIsable to wake him. Ac-
cordingly, the order will not become
effective until tomorrow.
DIR. Garfield said that the plans CON
templated that NIL questions of allocat-
ing conl would he left to Director Gen
eral Hines for settlement.

Washington. Oct. 2S.-IIow to deal
with the soft coal strike. in event the
miners, ignoring President Wilson's
command to stay on the job, walk out
Friday night, has been definitely
agreed upon at meeting of the
cabinet.
The plan OF action was not dis
closed, but II is known that the cab
met stood as one man for protection
of the rights of the public which
would suffer with the closing of the
mines in which ordinarily more than
100000 members of the United Mine
Workers of America are employed.
But while steps already taken ana
which might he regarded as drastic
were approved. Secretary Lansing,
who presided, brought word from the
meeting that the situation was not
hopeless. All day the belief had grown
that the international executive board
at indianapolis would postpone the
strike ut least.
