|NCOAL
STRIKE IS DUE
TOMORROW

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. THE crisis
in the coal strike will be reached to-
morrow. in the opinion of Government
officials and miners leaders.
Rulings by Judge A. B. Anderson on
injunction proceedings, which will be
argued starting at 10 o'clock tomor-
row. will let both the Government and
union leaders know just where they
stand.
Judge c. b. Ames, assistant United
States Attorney General. was ex-
pected to arrive here today to confer
with his assistants regarding the an
swer they will make to the petition
asking dissolution of the restraining
order, filed by union attorneys.
Miners attorneys today prepared
briefs which they will submit to back
up their appeal for dissolution.
II the judges ruling on the disso-
luton petition is unfavorable to the
miners. the fight will then center on
the Governments appeal for a court
order demanding recall Of the
strike order by union officials.
Reports were circulated here today
that Acting President John l. Lewis,
of the United Mine Workers, was in
communication with Cabinet officials
regarding a possible basis for strike
settlement. II these negotiations are
successful, il was reported, Govern
ment attorneys tomorrow will ask for
continuance of one week for argu-
ments on the injunction proceedings.
Lewis refused to comment on the re-
ports.

BARS OPEN AS
.GOV.EDWARDS
. VOWS JERSEY
WILL Be WET

JERSEY CITY, N. j., Nov. 7.-A
situation akin to that which existed
just prior to the civil war has been
created, politicians said today, by
the election of Edward I. Edwards
to be governor of New Jersey. Ed
wards made his campaign on a plat
form in which the principal plank
was that he would bend every effort
to make New Jersey as wet as the
Atlantic ocean"
He holds that the right Of a SOW
|ereign state in the matter of prohibi-
ton is paramount to that of the
nation.
Will Fight To Limit.
81 construe my election" said Gov
ernor-elect Edwards, cas- an indica-
tion of the feelings of the people of
this State concerning prohibition
Holding their mandate, shall use all
legal methods to preserve inviolate
the sovereignty of the people.
"I do not think law is q good law
This State has not concurred in the
enforcement of prohibition"
Politicians pointed out today that
this line of reasoning is the same
which nearly caused South Carolina to
secede from the Union in 1888 over the
Clay tariff act.
The State OF New Jersey, II was
said today, will not lift a finger to
aid the Federal Government in the en-
forcement of national prohibition.
VIII Discourage enforcement.
The governor appoints the county
prosecutor. Enforcement of prohibi-
ton will be discouraged
The next legislature to meet in
Trenton also is wet" and this will
further tend to discourage the perse-
cution of John Barleycorn.
Unless the Government covers the
State with a blanket of enforcers, II
seemed certain today that New Jer-
sey will become the oasis Of the
United States so far as drinks are
concerned. The State and its officers
will be entirely in sympathy with the
wet element.
1t was possible today to buy drinks
in many Jersey towns. despite the
fact that Edwards isn't governor yet
and the present incumbent, Governor
Runyon, is said to be dry.

That the Russian Bolshevik gov
ernment of Lenine and Trotslky has
dug itself in" for the winter and
will be able to overcome all enemy
attacks, was the belief expressed to-
day at the Russian embassy.
at will be at least another winter
before hope for the fall of Lenine
and Trotslty and the capture of
Petrograd can be realized" it was
stated.
"The Bolsheviki have built up a
greater military machine than most
people realize. They have 1t least
a force of half a million soldiers, and
recent advances of the Red army in
Siberia have given them huge gra-

ELECTION FRAUD

The House Elections Committee to-
day refused to investigate the charges
Of fraud in the election of Congress

Kansas City. made by his Republican
opponent, Albert l.. Reeves. The COM
mittee pointed out that Reeves did
not, within the time limit, take ad-
vantage of State laws in order to in
Vestigate the alleged frauds.
Under the circumstances, although
viewing with deepest concern the
charges of wholesale frauds practiced
at the last election in Kansas City
which have attracted the attention of
the whole country" the report states,
I'VE do not feel justified in ordering
Congressional investigation"

One Red Cross woman had the

others. Then he was a visitor at the
