 The government stood pat today on President Wilson's ultimatum to the soft coal miners of the country that the strike order for November 1 must not take place.
 The whole federal machinery, all ready set up for the emergency, was ready to deal with conditions in the mining fields unless the executive board of the United Mine Workers of America. meeting at Indianapolis on Wednesday, votes to rescind the strike order.
 In the face of statements by John l.. Lewis, acting president of the miners organization, that it was too late now to stop the walkout. there was strong belief in official quar- ters tonight that the strike would at least be postponed. This hope of averting industrial disaster was based largely on the feeling that sentiment throughout the country was over whelmingly for peace, regardless of how the people might view the re- ported grievances of the miners. Lewis issued statement during the day from his home in Springfield, H., saying the presidents stand that the strike was unlawful would not af- feet the walkout, and declaring that he could not be intimidated. Later he called conference of district presidents.

 There were many conferences dur ing the day, and much attention was given confidential reports from gov ernments in the coal fields territory bearing on the possibility of large number of the men sticking to their jobs, despite the order to quit work on Friday night.

freely of some unknown kind of manu-
featured liquor obtained in that section,
Tuesday a call came from Deputy
Sheriff Barton of Windsor concerning
man with team who had put up 1t
that place. Things did not seem Just
r'fht to Deputy Sheriff Barton and on
advice Of Sheriff H; rvood he brought
the man and team to Augusta Wednes-
day morning. Different places were
called up from - office and it was
found that the team belonged to W. e.
