All Service Men to
Attend "Doughboy Night

Joe BraAton's jazz orchestra is
only one o. the things that will
knock emf cold when the doughboys
and gobs, to say nothing of the yeo-
men CD and nurses. get together
tomorrow evening at Chestnut
Street Hall for the big "Doughboy
Night" which is being planned and
staged by the American Legion posts
in this city.
From the jumpoff when DR.. Bag
nell delivers the invocation TO the
windup when the jazzers strike up,
Till We Meet Again" the program
is just one series of instantaneous
bursts without "a single dud in it,,
Everyone who was in uniform at any
time during the last century is eX-
pected to attend. Civil War veter-
ans will mingle with the new Yeter-
ans of the Meuse. Veterans of For
eign Wars will share their smokes
with their silver-chevroned broth
ers, kitchen police and lieutenant
governors will sit together: every
thing that will make the evening
safe for democracy goes!
James Fitzpatrick, Leon Lowen-
gard and Ira Kinder are in charge
OF the program, and they've gotten
together the greatest array of talent
ever seen on the amateur stage. And
on top of it all, the war movies
brought from Washington by the
signal corps man will be shown.
They are said to be so lifelike,, that
when they were first shown on this
side, three general staff colonels and
a naval aid crawled under the seats
to get away from Jerrys shapnel.
Anyway, it's going to be big night!

Convinced Of Injunction
Violation, U. S. Will Have
Miners Face Charges

Indianapolis, Dec. 3.-Convinced
that efforts to bring about resump-
ton of operation of coal mines
through offers of a fourteen per cent.
wage advance to miners have failed
and that the injunction issued by
United States District Judge Ander-
son against the strike has been
violated. the government has con-
cluded to institute contempt pro-
ceedings at once, it was indicated
here.
Federal agents would make no
statements as, to when Court action
might be expected, but it is known
that evidence has been collected
against alleged Violators of the in
junction. and in well-informed cir
cles it was confidently expected that
arrests would be made within forty
eight hours.
1t is understood that the govern,
ment has delayed taking action in
the hope that some other way out of
the fuel difficulty would be found
The Injunction, as explained by
Judge Anderson, extends to individ.
ual miners, operators or other per-
sons who in any way encourage the
strike or interfere with production
of coal. Government attorneys, it is
said,i ,iinterpret this to mean that any
statement made by miners, or any
agreement between two or more men
to continue on strike constitutes q
violation of the injunction.

Mine Operators Are
Gathering to Work Out
Details of Wage Boost

Washington. Dec. 3.-Mine operators
from all parts of the country gather
ed here to-day to work out details of
the IA per cent wage increase sug-
sested by the government for bitumi-
nous coal miners. While the sessions
ally were restricted to operators
located in the central competitive
Ifeld, representatives from the other
sections were on hand to gather facts
on which to base their own adjust
ments.
1t was said that the findings of the
central field committee probably will
be submitted to Fuel Administrators
Garfield for ratification, but that sew
eral days would be needed to work
out problems presented.
Continued optimism in official circles
was marked. although gh-production fig
ures available showed no increase in
daily tonnage. This is now estimated
semi OFFICIALLY at better than 40 per
cent. of normal. Operators represent
ing the, Alabama fields said produc-
tion, which had been normal there,
had dropped to about 80 per cent.
union representatives being active in
attempting to call men out Central
pennsylvania mine owners reported
partial production, while West Vir-
ginla, Kentucky and Tennessee repre-
sentatiNes were confident that the
mine outputs soon would be back to
normal.
In the central district, however,
hardly pound of coal is being pro-
duced except by wagon mines and a
strip pit or two, operators said.

Senator from the State of Michi-

Senator Dillingham;, Republican,
Vermont. as chairman of the Privi-
leges and Elections committee, will
have charge of the investigation.
He is expected to arrive in Wash
Iington Saturday and the COMMITTEES
will meet next week to make the in
quiry.
Senator Newberry was not in the
Senate when the Pomerene resolu-
ton was adopted.
Republican House leaders, in con-
ference yesterday, considered the
legislative program but without final
decision. Representative Mondell,
majority leader, said appropriations
must be held down" as much as
possible and conferences with the
legislative steering committee for
further discussion of a more definite
program for the supply bills will be
held later.
The pensions bill will be first to
reach the House, preparation being
more or less perfunctory with the
total it carries fixed by other laws.
Next will come the legislative bill
probably, and none of the big ap-
preparation measures is expected to
be disposed of by the House before
the Christmas recess. Leaders plan
TO enact an army of reorganization
bills and a measure fixing the per-
manent personnel of the navy before
providing the funds for the service.
Chairman Good, of the House Ap-
preparations committee, said that
the bill providing funds for the rail-
road administration to wind up it's
affairs would be considered soon. He
expects that at least $400, ,000, 900
would be asked of Congress and an
nounced that he would confer later
