use OF troops to protect
all miners who desire to
work has been decided
upon by the government in an effort
to end the bituminous coal strike. 1t
was stated today officially.
In mines seized by the government
the II per cent wage advance agreed
upon by the cabinet will be put into
immediate effect, it was said.
These plans Of the government
We're agreed upon by the cabinet last
Wednesday, officials said, so as to
meet the situation resulting from a
refusal Of the operators or miners or
both to agree to the government
wage Increase proposal
Cabinet officers expected many
mine owners to put into effect vOlun-
tarily the IA per cent wage increase.
Whether the mines of those refusing
to do so would seized was not made
clear. but it was thought that there
was no general plan for government
that each individual case would be
decided on its merits.
Officials of both the operators and
miners organizations professed an
ability to even forecast what devel-
opments the next forty-eight hours
might bring forth and both sides
| frankly admitted they were awaiting
! the governments next move. In Off.
ciaI circles. despite the lack OF pub
| lie expression the view was held that
! only drastic action could and would
| be taken and that the mines would
| be opened at whatever cost.
Fuel Administrator Garfield whose
proposal approved by the cabinet for
a IA pc recent wage Increase, was re-
| iected BY the miners with bitter com
ment and accepted by the operators,
| although they protested it Wuod put
! some of the mines out Of business
