Strike Order Generally
Obeyed in Pennsylvania
Miners u armed Against Demon
strntions; No Disorder Is
Reported as Vorkers Quit

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 81. 49, Union
miners in Central and Western Penn
sylVania late this afternoon and to-
night picked UP their tools and left
the bituminous coal mines in answer
to the strike call Of the United Mine
Workers of America, according to re-
ports received by their leaders here.
The only men left in the mines, it
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 in
formed, and they expressed the belief
the order had met with complete COM
pliance.
An order issued by Philip Murray,
president of District No, 5, urged the
men to "refrain from holding mass
meetings or demonstrations Of any
character"

SPRINGFIELD, Nl.. Oct. 31.-Ap-
proximately 10000 soft coal miners in
Illinois had obeyed the strike order
of their officials by o'clock this aft
ernoon. according to announcement at
state miners headquarters.
Assuming defiant attitude toward
the governments move to stop the
strike. Frank harrington, chairman Of
the miners scale committee. and presi
dent of the Illinois district, declared
day the "strikc had developed into
something more than miners strike"
and that 1T was can attempt to en-
slave the working men and women of
the country"
~ don't believe there is any power
on earth that can stop the miners from
going on strike tonight" Harrington
said. THE action Of the government
viii only intlamc them. The question
involved now is whether working men
and women have the right to strike
when they think they have cause to do
so"
Harrington is Defiant
"Wc arc going through with the
strike" harrington declared. Labor
is bound to fight this injunction. If
it stands it is within the power of
any court TO ensave the working man
and woman any time the court de-
cldes to do so.
If this injunction stands, there will
be lot of US deceived as to the lib
critics we thought American citizens
enjoy. The restraining order is blow
at the very heart of free institutions
of our country"
Branding the act of the government in
obtaining the injunction as the "most
farreaching and high handed restrain
ing order ever issued by court in
this country" Harrington declares its
influence to breed radicalism was un-
limited.
"Nothing that I know of could have
tendency to incite Bolshevism in this
country as this restraining order will
DO" said Farrington "All the agents
of Lcnine and Tro.zky could not do as

James f. Maurer, president of the

ment through the steel strike commit
tee, in which he said:
"A report will be made at the con-
vcntion by the committee of eighteen
who visited Washington in behalf of
the organized labor of Allegheny
County and conferred with the Penn
syvania delegation in Congress and
with A. Mitchell Palmer. Further re-
preston by legal authorities will be
brought before the convention, includ-
ing the shutting off of still further
addresses to strikers by foreign Ian
guagc speakers in places which hither
TO have permitted such speakers. Warn
ing also has been given in steel strike
towns that if the coal strike comes
no meetings whatever Of steel atrikcrs

Zone of the proposed courses of ac
ton favored by some delegates, who
are already in Pittsburgh, is issuance
of an ultimatum to Governor Sproul,
and to state and local authorities,
that further appeals to governmental
and judicial authorities for relief will
be considered useless unless prompt
and decisive action restoring constitu-
tional rights and civil liberties forth
with is taken. Proposals are being
framed of methods Of asserting the
rights Of labor if such an ultimatum
is not promptly effective."
Labor leaders would not be quoted
as 80 the "methods" to be used II
the "ultimatum' was delivered and un-
heet,ed, but it was the opinion that the
weapon most favored was general
strike. This, it was suggested, the
