PRODUCTION OF COAL
is ON THE INCREASE
Further Detection in Union
Ranks Was Reported to
the Government To-day
- Hines Says No Com
munity Need Fear So
Long as Railroad Admin
istration Supply Holds.

indianapolis. Nov 6.-Attorneys for
the United Mine Workers of America,
some time to-day, will file motion in
federal court for dissolution OF the
restraining order to prevent officials of
the union from issuing instructions to
the striking members, it was learned
to-day. The officials were in confer
ence this morning with their attor
neys and, it is understood, have com
peted the writing Of the motion.
Such motions in accordance with a
court rule, must be flied two days in
advance of the arguments. The hear
ing Of the governments petition for a
temporary restraining order has been
set for Saturday and to-day is the
last day for filing motions in the case.
Washington, d. G., Nov G.-Informa
ton in the hands of government Off
cials in touch with the strike situation
to-day indicated an increase in btu.
minous coal production, especially in
The West Virginia fields. A further
detection of union forces was noted
in early reports, although officials were
not able to say whether the break in
the union ranks was Increasing to any
great extent. This phase of the stu
alton was being watched closely by
the government departments, particu-
larry the railroad administration and
the department of justice.
Director General Hines reiterated to-
day that no community need fear that
it would be cut off entirely from fuel
supplies, so long as the stocks under
supervision of the railroad administra-
tion last. He declared the primary pur
pose Of the machinery set up by his
office was to guard against concentra-
tion of coal stocks in one section to
the detriment of another.
Railroad administration officials re-
fused to accept seriously published re-
ports of traffic congestion in some of
the larger terminals. Members of the
director generals staff were in confer
ence last night and again to-day ex-
amining detailed reports of traffic
movements. These reports showed no
difficulties in car movements thus far,
they said No official, however, would
venture prediction as to the traffic
problem to be met in the next two
weeks should the strike continue that
long.
