SAYS COAL MEN
MAY YET SHOW
FULL STRENGTH
Declares Anthracite Miners
May Quit Work in Sympathy
With BituminouS Workers.
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press:
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Dec. 2.-Bi-
luminous coal miners now on a ma
tion-wide strike may have the sup
port Of the miners in the eastern an
thracite fields If they become hard
pressed" Frank Harrington, presi-
dent OF the Illinois miners declared
Tuesday. The miners have not yet
utilized the full strength of their or
sanization, he said, and pointed out
that the eastern section Of the coun-
try now was receiving its normal
supply of coal from the anthracite
fields.
Farrington's Statement.
The United Mine Workers OF
America are not engaged In ruthless
warfare against the public or the
government" said harrington. They
are only determinedly contesting for
a living wage. They have not as yet
utilized the full strength Of their or
ganization as is evidenced by the
fact that the strike order was not
extended or made applicable TO the
anthracite mine workers. Because
of this the eastern section of our
country is now receiving the normal
supply OF coal and there is a possibi-
lity that because of this those who
are handling the situation for the
government from their snug and
comfortable positions in the east dc
not have a proper conception of the
suffering that is imminent in the
middle western and southwestern
states and they no doubt feel there is
ample time TO experiment with aca-
demic theories in the settlement of
the miners strike.
Secure Aid.
I'm the past when the anthracite
mine workers were in trouble the BIZ
luminous miners have aided them
when aid was needed and there is a
likelihood that should the bitumin-
Gus coal miners find themselves hard
pressed in this case the anthracite
mine workers may decide to come to
their aid"
The supply Of coal for the city
schools was exhausted Tuesday and
announcement was made that the
schools would be closed indefinitely
