WASHINGTON, Nov. 4
Omitted Press) THE story Of tho
success of government efforts 10
prevent stoppsge of soft coal
production was reaching here to-
day in form of reports as to how
many miners obeyed union orders
to quit work at midnight.
Complete returns Wi, not be in
until Monday night since to-day
in many mine fields is a virtual
holiday and even men who did not
strike probably did not report for
work today.
Officials today were hopeful
that the returns will show enough
men ready to work to keep com
ing from the mines a supply of
soft coal, which taken with stocks
on hand will be sufficient to carry
the country through the winter.
Then with troops protecting
miners who want to work and
with an injunction against union
leaders 10 prevent them directing
a strike, officials believe that the
loss of wages by the men and the
loss of profits by operators will
soon force the two sides to get to-
gether. Once the striking miners
and the operators see that the
country has a chance to get
through the winter without them,
officials believe there will be an
increased willingness to compro-
mise and conciliate shown by
both sides.
Meantime the consumers win be pro
tected from higher prices by executive
orders issued yesterday restoring war
time fuel rates.
Many officials regard this order
touching prices as a complete answer
