LABOR FEDERATION
TO BACK Up Miners
IN STRIKE BATTLE
BY Ralph f. Couch

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington. Nov. 10.-Full support
of the American Federation of Labor
Will be swung to the striking coal min
ers beginningtoday. following the fed
its denunciation Of Federal Judge An
derson's injunction against the strike.
The federation's support probably
will include funds. Whether such ac-
tion would come within the jurisdiction
Of Judge Anderson remains to be seen,
and some labor leaders here are anxi-
GUS to know what the federal court will
do about it.
There was a distinct atmosphere of
fight around headquarters. AT the
same time, labor leaders appeared to
realize the seriousness of the moment
"a moment which finds organized la
Dor practically arrayed against the fed
eral courts.
Order Is Opposed.
The announcement of the American
|, Federation of Labor that 1t will give it's
full support to the striking miners, fol-
lowed an all day session yesterday,
ouiAh6 WiiSi dil pIldStS OI the SlIud-
tion were discussed.
Contending that to call off the strike
would be practical surrender and that
government by injunction would then
be firmly established, many labor men
refused to follow what they considered
the easiest way OUT it was learned
following the conference.
The statement issued by the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor said first that
the miners did everything possible to
avoid the strike. 1t went on to de-
scribe conditions under which the min
ers work, attempting to Justify the de-
mands for higher wages and shorter
hours.
Wilson Quoted.
Reciting efforts for agreement, the
statement continued that the miners
were still willing to enter negotiations
without reservations in an effort to
restore peace. The governments ac-
ton in getting the injunction at In
dianapolis, directing withdrawal of the
strike call. was termed an invasion Of
the rights of miners"
President Wilson's speech made at
the Buffalo convention of the labor
federation was quoted. The president
declared that the United States is fight
ing to free labor and improve working
conditions.

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 10.-Tne
showdown of the governments court
fight against the national strike Of
miners was at hand today
Two courses lay before the ten lead :
ers of the United Mine Workers of
America who had gathered here. They
can abide by the order issued by Fed
eral Judge A. B. Anderson or defy the
court and take the consequences.
Members of the executive council
and scale committee of the cen,r&s
competitive field. and several district
presidents met at 10 a. m. to decide
upon a policy.
e@s s5s Compliance Expected.
Before the meeting it apparently
was the sentiment of many Of the
strike officials that path of non-re-
sistance should be chosen.
The group favoring compliance with
the court order took the position that
the railroads would soon be returned
to private control and that the Lever
act, under which the injunction is
brought, would not be in effect after
peace is declared. Grounds upon
which Anderson's ruling is based
would thus be removed.
The group opposing withdrawal of
the strike order feared the effect a
back down on their part might have.
They pointed out that If the miners
did not return to work after the strike
order had been withdrawn, they would
be deprived of the restraining influ-
'ence of their leaders and a general
reign of lawlessness might result.

AIRPLANE ACCIDENTS DUE nss-.
TO FAULTY CONSTRUCTION

Atlantic City. \. j., May 22.-Charles
H. Payne, an insurance expert, told
the delegates to the Pan American
Aeronautic convention here today that
from 1908 to 1913. both in military and
civil aeronautics, 60 per cent of the
casualties were due to the collapse of
the plane as the result of faulty con-
struction, while from 1913 to date only
per cent. of the casualties were
caused by such collapse.
Of present day accidents, according
to Mr.. Payne, approximately 40 per
cent. are due to tail spins entered into
close to the ground or by inexperienced
pilots who are unable to extricate
themselves, 25 per cent. through lack
of judgment in landing, 10 per cent. to
forced landing caused by motor trou-
Bile, 2 per cent. by fire, . per cent. by
collapse of the planes and u per cent.
by lack of judgment in various man
oeuvers by pilots still in training.

GOVERNOR SIGNS BILL
RELATING TO STATE PAUPERS

Hartford, May 22.-With the sign
ing of the bill relating to the care of
state paupers, by Gov. Holcomb, late
Wednesday afternoon, the admins
tration of the state pauper law is
transferred from the comptroller 20
the state treasurer. The bill author
ICES the latter to appoint an official
to take care of the work of admins
tration under the supervision of the,
treasurer. The salary of the position
is $4,000 q year.
The treasurer will also have charge
of the administration of the widows
pension bill and the law gives him the
power to appoint a subordinate to at
tend to the details of the work at a
salary of $4,000 a year. There was at
one time an understanding that this
law would be administered by the
comptroller but it was afterwards de-
cided to add the administration of the
law to the duties of the treasurer. In
connection with this change there has
been a rumor to the effect that before
the law was passed Comptroller Web
ster had made a promise to appoint
DR.. William /. Higgins of Coventry,
who was the house chairman of the
committee on public health and safe
ty at the session of 1919. to take
charge of the administration of the
work and that the change in the bill
took place afterwards. This forenoon
Comptroller Webster contracted the
rumor.
DIR. Higgins never asked me for
the position. The only application
which | received was from Bob Ea-
ton" he said. Il told Col. Eaton that
l could not think of promising the po-
sition to any one until the bill had
become a law Col. Eaton also told
me that j. Henry Roraback was in ia
vor of his appointment and desired it
very much''

House Has Passed
the Deficiency Bill
Provides $45, ,044, 500 for War
Risk Allowances to Sol
diers' and Sailors Families
and Civil War Pension
ers.

Washington, May 22.-Passage by
the house late today of a deficiency bill
providing urgent appropriations of
S4oo44,o0o for war risk allowances to
soldiers and sailors families and Civil
war pensioners made another speed
record for the new house, which YES
terday adopted the woman suffra ga
resolution. The first sharp partisan
clashes of the session between repub-
llcans and democrats occurred TODAY
during discussion of the deficiency bill.
The measure, hastily reported by the
appropriations committee, authorizes
appropriations of s39. .615 900 for allow.
ances due May l and June l to about
100000 families of soldiers. sailors and
marines, $5,000000 for delayed Civil
war pensions and $2,429,000 for admin
lstration of the war risk insurance bu-
reau. 1t was passed without a dis
senting vote after considerable parti-
san discussion, republicans and demo-
Gratis making counter charges of re-
sponsibility for delay in payment of
the family allowances.
Republican Leader Mondell, Demo-
cratic Leader Clark and others partici-
pated in the partisan manoeuvering,
which followed a statement by Repre-
sentative Mann of Illinois, former re-
publican leader, that President Will
sons absence abroad might prevent the
bllls appropriations from becoming
available until the middle of June.
Representative ByrnS of Tennessee
ranking democrat of the appropriations
committee, charged that republican
senators through their flibuster of last
March were responsible for holding up
the war risk allowances. The Tennes-
see representative declared the repub-
lcans no wshould remedy the wrong
and urged that the bill be passed at
once instead of being put over until
tomorrow as proposed by Representa- :
tive Good of Iowa. chairman of the ap-
preparations committee
After the bill had been reported. Re
publican Leader Mondell moved to ad-
journ until tomorrow, but on a rising
vote of II to IS the democrats. who
happened at the time to have a ma
iority in the chamber, defeated the
move. Democratic Leader Clark ther
asked unanimous consent for immedi-
ate consideration of the measure an6
Mr.. Mondell assented The measure
was passed in less than an hour with
out a roll call.
