POLICY ON COAL
DISTRIBUTION IS
OUTLINED BY R.R.

In connection with the handling OF
coal through the railroad administra-
tion, j. r. Nugent local agent OF she
Rock Island, has received tele-
gram from the general manager Of
the company in which is outlined the
policy of the railroad administration
with regard to the distribution Of
coal, in case there is fuel famine
in connection with the strike Of the
bituminous miners The Telegram,
follows:
TIE machinery set up by the
railroad administration to distribute
the ccal held in transit by the rail-
roads in accordance with the direc.
tions of the fuel administrator is in
full operation and as a result where
ever possible coal Is being distrib-
uted in accordance with the priority
list established by the fuel admins
TRAITOR where such coal Is absolutely
needed Therefore where there is
real need for coal the problem
should be taken up Immediately with
the railroad ordinarily supplying the
coal and every effort will be made
to meet the demand by such rail
roads.
at is of course essential both be-
cause of the present bituminous coal
strike and in order that the needs
for the coming winter may be look
ed after the fuel be used as econom-
ically as possible 1t should also be
remembered that the railroads did
not interfere with the delivery Of
coal. TO conserve coal as much as
possible regional directors Of rail
roads have been given authority
wherever it seems absolutely neces-
sary to eliminate for the time being
train service but in order to provide
for the essential business needs Of
the country, no general curtailment
of train service is contemplated.
The maintenance of the public rams
poltation service is or paramount i'm
portance in order to serve the count
less needs of the general public and
the interruption of that service
should be minimized as much as pos
ible"

will be swung to the striking coal
miners, following the federations en-
d3rsement of the strike.
In view of Federal Judge Ander
son order demanding a withdrawal
Of the strike call by tomorrow at G
o'clock, labor leaders appear to be
anxious to know the stand of the
federal court in the event the order
is violated The fight around held-
quarters indicates that there is full
realization of the seriousness Of such
violation.
Organized labor is practically ar
rayed against the United SLltes court.
The calling off of the strike is the
easiest way out, the biggest labor
men contend, but point out that it is
practical surrender and establishes
firmly governments by injunction"
Some contend that a firm stand
will lie taken by the miners practi-
cally in defiance of the courts for a
showdown
statement issued by the officials
Of the American Federation of La
Dor after a meeting yesterday after
noon, Claraoterizes the order to call
off the strike as invasion of the
rights of miners" intended to starvc
the miners into submission by cut
ting off their strike benefits, and de-
manded the withdrawal of the in
junction secured Saturday at Indian
apolis "to restore confidence in the
institutions of our country and re-
spect to courts"
by all the facts in the case the
miners strike is justified it con-
eluded. 1--WE endorse it. We are
convinced of the justice of the min
ers' cause. We pledge to the min
ers the full support of the American
Federation of Labor and appeal to
the workers and citizenship of our
country to give like Endorsement and
aid to the men engaged in this mo-
mentous struggle"
