STEEL STRIKERS ASK
HELP IN THIS CITY
Each Local Union to Pass on
Appeal.

The financial support of the steel
strikers by union labor in New York

Foster. secretary OF the Steel Workers
Organizers Committee. To what ex-
tent the New York city unions will go
to the steel strikers aid Is not known.
for each local union must decide for it.
self just how much it is willing to con-
tribute.
But the executive committee of the
Central Federated Union, of which Err
nest Bohm is secretary, met last night
to discuss the matter, and it is likely
that the amount that New York labor
is willing to subscribe to the not over
flowing treasury of the steel strikers
will be known in a few days.
Foster was here Thursday. departing
for Pittsburg Thursday night But be-
fore he left this city he had q lengthy
conference with officials OF the Central
Federated Union End was assured that
New York city unions were willing to
assist him as much as their own labor
demands made It possible. 1t may come
to pass that Foster will return to New
York to make personal appeal to
union men here In a huge mass meeting
to be held either In Madison Square
Garden or in some other enclosure large
enough to make his appeal far reaching.
The coal strike and its possibilities
to both capital and labor has rather
overshadowed the steel strike, and lead
ers of the latter battle fear they will
be forgotten in the larger and newer
strike.

OPERATORS ACCEPT
ARBITRATION PLAN
Ask Investigation by Tribunal
to Be Named by the
President.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 31.--The first step
toward a possible arbitration of differ
ences between soft coal operators and
approximately half million miners in
the threatened coal strike, scheduled for
midnight was taken here to-day at a
conference of the executive committee
of the central competitive coal field
by the adoption of resolution welcom-
ing an investigation OF the strike by a
tribunal which President Wilson may
appoint. Following this action the con-
ference adjourned.
The resolution, which was unani-
mously adopted, follows:
We have accepted In its entirety
the Presidents proposal of October
"a. and reaffirm that acceptance. We
welcome an investigation by a tribu-
nal which the President may appoint
as suggested by him in the last para
graph of his statement of October 26.
We hold ourselves ready to COM
ply at all times with any commands
which the Government, acting in
the interests of the whole American
people. may deem 1t wise to issue
Possibility of the mines being worked
IN the event the strike takes place
seems remote, according to some or the
operators. who, pointed out that some
States require an examination of all
mine workers and that there might not
be enough men to pass this examination.
At the same time. however. they de-
clare, they will keep the mines open
and do all iD their power to continue
them in operation, If the Government
SO orders.
The Pittsburg Vein Operators Asso-
citation, operating more than one hun
dred mines with $4,000 union employees
held its monthly meeting here to-day
and voted to notify all its miners to re-
port for work tomorrow morning.
A Federal order was issued here to-
day to Cleveland managers of railroads
providing for the communicating of all
coal in transit. and to conserve this
supply for railroad use.
Closely following the receipt of this
order another Government decree was
issued. prohibiting further loading OF

PIrTspuRG, Oct S1.--Promises OF fnan-
cial aid came to steel strike headquar-
ters here to-day from Altoona, Pa.
wherel It was said twenty-nine local
unions had recommended that each
member give one days pay for the sup
port OF the strike. and that one-half
the money at present in each local
unions treasury. available for such pur-
poses, be given out at once to the Ma
tional Steel Strike Committee.
1t was announced also that speakers
sent out from the headquarters would
address mass meetings at several points
in central Pennsylvania, where the union
labor sentiment is strong, for the pur-
pose of further interesting union work
men in the strike.
Delegates from many counties in the
State arrived here tonight for a spe-
cial convention of the Pennsylvania
Federation of LAT Dor tomorrow and Sun
day. Included in the 500 delegates ex-
pected were. It was announced, some
two hundred miners representing the
ers within the State.
James E. Maurer. president OF the
organization. gave out n statement to-
night through the steel strike committee,
saying:
"A report will be made at the con-
vention by the committee of eighteen
who visited Washington In behalf of
the organized labor of Allegheny county
and conferred with the Pennsylvania
delegation in Congress and with A.
Mitchell Palmer. Further repression by
legal authorities will be brought before
the convention, including the shutting
off of still further addresses to strikers
by foreign language speakers in places
which have hitherto permitted such
speakers. Warning has also been given
in steel strike towns that II the coal
strike comes no meetings of steel
strikers are to be permitted.
"One proposed course of action ia
vored by some delegates already in
Pittsburg is the issuance Of an ultima
tum to Gov. Sproul and to State and To-
cal authorities that further appeals to
Governmental and judicial authorities
for relief will be considered useless
unless prompt and decisive action re-
storing constitutional rights and civil
liberties is forthwith taken. Proposals
are being framed OF methods of as
serting the rights of labor II such an
ultimatum is not promptly effective"
Labor leaders would not be quoted
as to the methods" to be used IL the
''ultimatum'' was delivered and un-
needed, but 1t was the opinion that the
weapon most favored was a general
strike. This II was pointed out, the

KENTUCKY IMMUNE
IN EAST AND WEST
Prior Agreement Will Hold
Miners, 1t Is Said.

PADUcAH. Ky. Oct S1.-Coal mine
operators in this city tonight declared
that the strike of bituminous coal miners
set for midnight would in no way affect
the west Kentucky fields. Officials OF
the st. Charles Mine. with offices in Pa
ducah, said that the operators had
signed an agreement with the miners six
weeks ago which forbade them to par
ticipate in the present strike.
LEXINGTON, KY, Oct. 31.-Bituminous
coal mines of eastern Kentucky will be
little affected by the strike called by the
United Mine Workers of America, ac-
cording to the operators.
Eastern Kentucky miners never have
been thoroughly unionized, due to the
fact that the majority Of operators are
paying from 10 to 20 per cent. better
wages than the union scale. and organ
izers who have attempted to gain new
recruits for the union during the last
few weeks have had little success, oper-
ators say. With the exception of the
foreign element, notably Mexicans, the
United Mine Workers of America organ
ization has few members in this dis
trict. operators say.
Eastern Kentucky operators predict
that less than per cent of their men
will be Idle on account of the strike,
and say that even these workers will
be back on the job within a week.

PI1rsBuRG. Oct. 81. - Union miners
in central and western Pennsylvania late
this afternoon and tonight picked up
their tools and quit.
The only men left in the mines, 1t
was asserted, were those who, under the
working agreement, were to look after
valuable machinery and keep the pumps
going in order that the pits be kept free
of water.
If union men in any section failed TO
obey the strike order officers of the
union said, they had not been informed.
and they expressed the belief the order
had met with complete compliance.
No disorder was reported from any
section of the district, the men going to
their homes upon leaving the pits. This
)was in obedience to an order issued by
Phillip Murray, president of District No.
5, who urged the men to refrain from
holding mass meetings or demonstrations
of any character

"The United Mine Workers OF Amer
lea do not seek to violate any law. III
you remain firm in your present position
we are confident that the outcome OF
this present unhappy situation will bring
with it a decent living wage and i'm
proved living conditions OF employment
for the coal miners"
No extraordinary precautions had
been taken tonight by the Allegheny
county authorities, as it was stated no
attempt would be made to start the
mines now. An additional troop of
State police, however. was due in Butler
tonight from the eastern part of the
State. And II was understood they

From the central part of the State
came reports that the miners generally
