John L. Lewis, acting president of the
organization, when asked tonight about
the report that Samuel Gompers. presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, had communicated with him con-
corning his conference with Attorney
General Palmer today, would only reply
that he had nothing to say
When he injunction proceedings come
up in court tomorrow morning, it is ex-
pected that the first argument will be
on the--miners' motion for dismissal of
the governments petition for injunction.
This motion attacks the government S
right to interfere in the strike situation
and declares that President Wilson ex-
ceeded his authority in establishing
the national fuel administration.
If this motion is overruled by the court,
the government petition for a temper
airy injunction to prevent mine workers
leaders from participating in the conduct
of the strike will be argued This pc
tition, in addition to asking that the
present restraining order be made a tenn
porary injunction, asks for a court order
to compel the miners heads to withdraw
tleir strike call
1t was pointed out today that although
the government petition asks only for
temporary injunction at this time,
visable, make the injunction permanent.
CAN'T END STRIKE, CLAIM
In their defense against that part OF
the government prayer for a manda,-
tory order to rescind the strike, the
miners, it is understood, will bring UP
the question of whether or not the union
officials can call off the strike If ordered
by the court. The miners have con-
tended at all times since the strike call
was issued that as the walkout was or
dered by the Cleveland convention, they
were power1ess to arrest it and that only
another session of the convention could
authorize the miners to return to work
The unions lawyers also will invoke the
Clayton law of 1914, which, they say, pre-
vents interference in any disputes be-
tween employers and employees on wages
Two points to be pressed by the gov
eminent are that the Lever law for the
control of fuel is in effect, despite the
miners contention that it would not
apply because the war had ceased pro-
gressively,'I and that since the railroads
are guaranteed a certain income by the
| government the United States would be
forced to pay the railroads in excess OF
| the amount necessary if operation were
not continued as usual. The latter point
| presents the question of property right
| and injury, which is said to be neces-
| sary to secure the restraining order.
The governments case will be in charge
| of C. B. Ames, assistant attorney gen
eral, who arrived today from Washing
ton. He will be assisted by Henry S
Mitchell, who accompanied him to In
dianapolis; Dan w. Simms of Lafayette
Ind. special district attorney appointed
in the case, and United States District
Attorney L. Ert Slack of Indianapolis
The miners counsel is headed by Henry
Warrum of Indianapolis and includes
several attorneys, who, in the past. have
represented the various districts of the
mine workers.

MANY THEORIES ADVANCED

Various theories were advanced as to
the apparent difference in the attitude
of labor leaders between the second and
third conference. Returning to his office
tonight Mr.. Gompers remained there for
several hours and was in communication
with labor Officials here and elsewhere.
Not much came out of the cabinet
meeting. All of the members declined to
say what was taken up, although Secre-
tary Glass, trifle more communica tive,
sniilingly turned his questioners away by
saying it was just an hour and half
wasted.
The stand-pat policy of the government
and its determination. as one official ex-
pressed it, Ito go through with the in
junction suit" still has the undivided
support of the ca binet, it was said, and
the absolute approval of President Will
son. The widely current reports that
Secretary of Labor Wilson, himself a
miner, had strongly opposed court ac-
ton, were not denied, but it was empha-
sized that the cabinet was unanimous
against withdrawal of the restraining
order unless the strike was called off,

the other party to the struggle, and while
reports from their agents indicated slight
gains in the number of mines working in
West Virginia, there was no change in
the general situation. Director General
Hines and Fuel Administrator Garfield
explained to the cabinet what they had
done to get coal to the districts where
most needed, and detailed reports of
publication since the strike started
week ago tonight were presented, but not
made public.
But in spite of the absence of this in
formation, it was admitted that the ma
tons coal pile was decreasing, and Of
hcials scanned weather maps to find
whether any real cold wave was on the
way.
No attempt was made to hide the feel
ing that the situation was serious and
would quickly become critical unless
some way was found to get the strikers
back to the mines.
