COAL OPERATORS OBJECT
70 MAXIMUM PRICES, But
DIR. GARFIELD IS FIRM

Washington, Nov. 5.--Thcre will be
no change dt present in maximum coal
prices fixed by the government, DR..
Garfield. fuel administrator, today told
a delegation of operators If the strike
lasts. reudjustment of price may be
necessary he said, but there is moth
ing to talk about now"
The operators had complained that
the maXimum limits were pinching
them. Mr.. Garfield made it clear that
the government was acting in the in
terest Of the people as a whole. aand
that the nation must be protected
against some few operators and dealers
who might be willing to take advantage
OF the emergency.
Request for federal troops to guard
the coal mines was made today by
Kentucky operators who conferred
with Fuel Administrator Garfield.
Threats made against the continuance
of operations necessitated protection to
insure continued production of coal, it
was stated
DIR. Garfield told the Kentucky OPP
orators that the question of policing
the coal fields was in the hands Of
Attorney.General Palmer and other
members Of the cabinet and that he
could not advise them on the subject.

Strasbourg, Alsace, Nov. 4.-The so.
luton Of the many problems the world
is now facing may be summarized in
the single word Work" Premier
Clemenceau declared in his keynote
speech for the government party in the
parliamentary elections campaign, de.
llyered here today. The speech also
was his farewell message on tine eve
OF the retirement from political life,
which he contemplates.
His address, he declared was not a
message meant for France alone, but
was an appeal TO the entire world to re-
new its labors as they had been per-
formed before the war, and produce
for the worlds needs.
Mr. Clemenceau briefly reviewed the
treaty OF Versailles and said that al.
though France apparently had parsl.
moniously treated as to reparations.
he hoped confidently that the allies had
not abandoned France. He said that
England and America had not bar
gained for their blood and would not

MINERS SCALE CHAIRMAN
SAYS STRIKE NOW Is BOUND
TO BE AN EXTENDED ONE

Springfield. ill.,, Nov. 5--Extended
rrotraction of the strike of soft-coal
miners Is bound to result from the
position Of the government in refusing
to vacate the strike injunction as n
step toward wage conferences, accord
ing TO Frank harrington, chairman of
the miners scale committee here to-
day.
Such means may discourage and de-
feat the mine workers in certain iso-
lated spots.' Harrington said. but so
far as it's effect on the general situ-
alton is concerned, the means is bound
to fail Of results and will only make
the mine workers in strongly organic
ed fields more determined to carry on
the strike.
THE mine workers have no desire
to assume a defiant attitude toward
the government. They are loyal Am
orleans. The very fact that they are
loyal Americans is the thing that will
make them resist to the last any at
tempt at wrongful compulsion, whether
that compulsion may be employed by
the government or by whomever it may
be employed"

SHORTAGE OF COAL IS
FELT ALREADY, A FEW
MINES IN OPERA TION

Chicago, Nov 5.-Confronted by
statements of both miners ana oper.
ators that the country was in for Il
long struggle in the biumnous coal
fields, where production virtually has
been at standstil since the nation
wide strike of miners went into effect
at midnight Friday, government circles
early this morning still apparently were
pervaded by an undercurreut OF opti.
mism regarding an early settlement of
the big walkout Indications were that
the mine workers leaders and the coal
mine operators were sparring for an
opening that might lead to an amicable
settlement
Statements Of Samuel Gompers, pres.
ident of the American Federation Of
injunction which has sealed the lips
and stopped the activities of the nthl.
ers leaders in forwarding the strike
might point the way to peace, and John
l.. Lewis, acting president of the Mine
Workers Of America, that negotiations
could start any time. were pointed to
as Indicative Of the Willingness OF the
worldngmen to negotiate. Their desire
that the injunction be vacated, how.
ever, was equalled by the operators de.
mand that as a preliminary to negotia-
tions the strike be called off.
As the approximately $4,000 miners
added another days idleness to the
strike, the fuel shortage made itself
felt further by the public in some parts
of the country notably in Montana.
From ST. Louis also it was reported
that feul shortage threatened. Other
places, mainly west of the Mississippi.
frantically We're making what prepara.
tions were possible to combat the ad.
vent of winter. In the central and
eastern districts no severe shortage to.
day had been threatened, and reassur-
ing statements were issued by officials
in some sections.
So far railroad operation has not
been interfered with, and the closing
down Of no industry because of the
strike has been reported
There was little change in the general
situation during the past "a hours. Re.
ports from West Virginia that four
union mines in the New River district
were in operation and that two in the
unorganized Guyan field were closed by
sympathetic srtike; a threat of the
North Dakota Ignite miners who re.
turned TO work after one days layoff.
to walk out unless increased wages were
granted and a statement by the warden
of the Oklahoma state prison that four
mines on the prison farm probably
would be re.opened with convict labor
Thursday, were regarded as the most
important.
Should the Oklahoma mines be placed
in operation it would be the first re.
sumption of production in the South
west in any mine affected by the strike.
Ed Boyle. mine Inspector, however
ordered his aids to see that the state
law against inexperienced persons work.
ing in mines was enforced.
Thomas r. Brewster. chairman of
the coal mine operators scale commit.
tee, announced that the operators, act
ing individually, probably would sue
the United Mine Workers Of America
for breach Of contract. He denied
breaking Of the contracts by the oper.
ators, who hold that the war not yet is
officially over, as against the miners

that ne had no comment to make.
MY statement last night covers the
situation" Mr.. Lewis said.
Judge Ames' statement that as long
as the strike continues 1--WE are going
to proceed in the courts and Mr.. Lew
is assertion that his statement of last
night covered the situation, seemingly
indicates that the strike of upward of
425 900 soft coal miners will be a long.

COOLIDGE WINS TREMENDOUS
VICTORY IN MASSACHUSETTS
ON LAW AND ORDER" ISSUE

Boston, Nov. o. Gov Calvin Cool
idge, republican, who made support Of
law and order the sole issue of his
campaign, was reelected yesterday by
plurality of 124,173 over Richard II,
Long democrat The vsed vote Of
the state complete: Coolidge, 371 SAT;
Long, 1854.
The vote given Governor Coolidge
was the largest ever cast for governor
in this state, although his plurality has
been exceeded. The total vote was un-
usually heavy.
Long also opposed Governor Cool
idge last year and was defeated by a
plurality of 1905. In his campaign
Long appealed particularly to the la.
Dor vote on the ground that Governor
Coolidge had shown, hostility TO or.
ganiZed labor in denouncing the strik-
ing Boston policemen rs deserters.
Outside of Boston, Long carried only
four cities out of 81, and in all but
one OF these his plurality was much
smaller than n year ago. Nine cities
which returned pluralities for Long in
1918 swung over Coolidge yesterday.
Although the democrats gained four
seats in the house of representatives,
the republicans gained three in the
senate and will have their usual large
majority in both branches.
