Court injunction.
Government officials awaited re-
ports as to the extent Of the walkout
for upon this information depended
the future course of the government.
Should reports show any considerable
number of miners desire to continue
work the government was prepared
to furnish them protection. Nothing
more can be done gy government Of
ficials it was intimated until the way
was showa by the strikers them elves.
For that reason officials were not pre-
pared to discuss the governments
course other than has been out
lined.
