PUTS LID ON MOVE
CHICAGO LABOR KILLS PLAN FOR
GENERAL STRIKE.
Federation Declines Even to Listen to
Resolution in Aid of the
Steel Strikers.

Chicago, Nov. 3.--An attempt to in
troduce a resolution calling for a gen
eral strike of union workers in aid Of
the remaining steel strikers was
squelched at the meeting of the Chi
cago Federation of Labor.
When Barney Kortas, a delegate
from Local No. 74S of the Machinists'
union, took the floor to introduce it,
President Fitzpatrick ruled him out of
order
I'VE have a rule that no resolutions
can be introduced after two O'Clock.
and you are out of order" said Fitz-
patrick.
Then, again, nothing ever would
come from such a move, for not even
the American Federation of Labor
could call a strike of all workers. That
is up to the International unions.
There is no hope or possibility that
general strike can be called, and l
am not willing to waste time on some
thing We cannot do or get away with
Kortas had also risen to protest
against taking up collections to aid the
strikers.
what we wish is TO give them the
best support possible, and that can be
done by calling everybody out on a
strike" he said Il have here reso-
luton calling for the general strike. !"
He started 10 read it, but President
Fitzpatrick again ruled he was out of
order, and added:
'The press is present and everybody
has to be careful of what is said. We
do not fear. our enemies. but our own
men, who do not know the situation
and propose something that cannot be
done
THE committee in charge of the
strike has discussed every angle of
this matter, but cannot tell you what
our plans are now. But there is no
use for the brother to introduce the
resolution"

Attorney General Palmer Says
Operators Under Same Rule
As Miners.
PRICE ORDER IS PROTESTED
Palmer Declares Coal Dealers Propo
sitlon Amounts TO Declaration That
They Should Be Permitted to
Take Advantage Of Situation.


Washington, Nov. 4.--Attorney Gen.
eral Palmer declared that the govern
ment viii take the same action to pro-
tect the interests of the general pub
lie during the coal strike against coal
producers or distributors who combine
to enhance the price of coal as was
taken TO prevent the miners leaders
from furtherlng the strike.
Referriny to the action taken in re-
straining the officers of the Mine
Workers. Attorney General Palmer
said: II shall not permit 1t to be used
directly or indirectly for the benefit of
the employers side of the contro-
versy."
These statements were made In a
letter TO President w. A. Marshall Of
the Wholesale Coal Trade association.
New York city. President Marshall
had written to Attorney General Pal
mer In opposition to the government
orders placing maximum on the
price of coal and establishing a prior
ity rule for distribution.
President Marshall said that the
maximum price order would curtail the
operators ability to meet the abnor-
NAL price production costs caused by
the strike and would discourage the
operators In their efforts to produce
coal. He said the law of supply and
demand would take care of distriba-
tion better than any theoretical pro
gram, and urged thar there be no In
reference by the government depart
ment for railroad administration
Attorney General Palmer replied
that he was amazed by the coal
man's letter, saying;
eYour proposition amounts in effect
TO declaration that coal dealers
should be permitted to take advantage
of these abnormal conditions and have
their prices based entirely upon the
law Of supply and demand, which is
only another way Of saying that they
should be permitted to charge the pub
lie whatever they please"
Aside from the giving out Of the cor
respondence between Attorney Gen
eral Palmer and the wholesale coal
dealers. official Washington was quiet
as regards the coal strike. Apparent
ly the disposition was to rest until the
situation is more accurately known
The letter from the Wholesale Coal
Trade association of New York Is as
follows
'rhe fact that there is no present
general shortage Of coal and that IL
the miners who want to work are CIV
EN- protection by the government they
will work. leads us to believe the fol-
lowing statement and recommends
tion:
''First-With proper police or troop
protection there will be a sufficient
number of miners who will be willing
to continue at work to insure, with
present stocks. an adequate supply to
meet the emergency created by the
strike.
"Second-Fiying a maximum price
viii ourtail the operators ability to
meet the abnormal production costs
caused by the strike and will discour-
age the operators in their efforts to
produce coal.
''Third-The law Of supply and de-
mand will take care of distribution
better than any theoretical program"
