day had been set as the date for a
meeting between representatives of
the Germans and delegates of France,
Great Britain and Italy to discuss the
proposed protocol to the German peace
treaty in which the Germans are ex-
pected to bind themselves to live up
to the armistice conditions, the dis
cussion did not take place. The 1tal-
ian delegation, it developed, was not
ready for the conference.
At this mornings meetings of the
council the subject of the shipment by
the Germans of arms into Russia
was discussed. Instructions were sent
to the interallied military commits
sion in Berlin to notify the Germans
that such shipments must be discon-
tinued. The German contention was
that the arms were destined for Gen.
Denikine. but the general belief in
peace conference CIRCLES was that they
were intended for Col -Avaloff Ber-
mondt, the leader of the combined
German insurgent and Russian force
near Riga, R<E
Under the terms of the armistice
and also under the peace treaty terms
the allies have the power to forbid
such shipments.

committee of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, realizing, indeed, that
the pronouncement was a matter of
necessity in the industrial politics of
the situation. Nevertheless the fact
that the statement would be widely
read, and perhaps interpreted as the
beginning of general attack on the
authority OF the government by la
Dor, caused some administration Of
ficials to urge the issuance of a re-
ply by the Attorney General pointing
out that If the miners and their FAM
lilies were suffering as q result Of the
order forbidding them to get strike
benefits, there were, on the other
hand. many millions of American peo-
pie suffering. or about to suffer, even
spiracy on the part of the miners
leaders to stop the production of coal.
Put It Up to Court.
Others in administration quarters
took the view that the matter was
entirely now in the federal courts and
that it was up to Judge Anderson in
Indianapolis who has issued a man
datory injunction ordering the coal
miners to call off their strike by
Tuesday night of this week. Judge
Anderson is the kind of individual
who brooks no compromises or delays
but acts decisively. He sentenced the
score of structural iron workers who
were convicted of conspiring to dyna-
mite industrial establishments, and he
has always handled labor questions
with fearlessness and courage He is
on the bench for life and cares MOTH
ing about the political effects of his
action. He sees matters through the
cold eyes OF the law. Should the
strike leaders refuse to obey the in
junction he is the sort of individual
who wouldn't hesitate minute to
order the arrest OF these men for con-
tempt of court and should resistance
be attempted would ask the whole
power of the government, ali it's
deputy narshals and all it's troops to
secure obedience to the orders Of his
court.
1t would be within the power of
Judge Anderson, should he desire to
do so. to issue an order requiring in
dividual miners to disregard the
strike call and return to work or to
prove that their violation of their
contracts is not the result of the
strike order, which in itself has been
declared illegal. individuals cannot
be compelled to go to work against
their will. but they may be held re-
sponsible for participating in a con-
their contracts or engagements There
is no telling what new precedents
may be established in dealing with
this case. But the significant fact
is that the efforts to negotiate a
compromise by Withdrawing the
strike order at the same time that
the injunction proceedings were dis
missed have now failed and that the
big question is how the federal gov
ernment means to enforce the DEGREES
of it's courts.
