WASHINGTON, Oct. 31 - The big news in the coal strike situation to- day was the federal courts order for bidding the walkout. It was followed by long line of developments and opened the door to wide possibilities.
 The principal leaders in the miners union met the courts action with de. nunciation as violation of constitu- tional rights" declarations that it came too late to reach their men with a countermanding order, and with Npredictions that it would be disre- garded any way.
 During the night mixed reports were coming in from the mining states of men who decided to remain at work and others who went on strike despite the courts restraining order. It is not poss1Dre to estimate what proportion of the 425,OOO miners affected remain at work, and what proportion walked out. The real test may not come until Monday. Satur- day generally is dead" day in the mines.
 Fuel Administrator Garfield re- stored the war orders which VIII give the railroad administration the power to seize coal in transit and divert it to consumption in accordance with a preference list arranged with the idea Of doing the greatest good TOT the greatest number.
 The machinery of the railroad ad- ministration through which the acts of the fuel administration will be car ried out, was put ready for function ing.
 United States troops Sesan arriving in some of the mining districts, ready to take part in keeping order and protecting those miners who wished to continue at work. rne extent and full nature of the troop movements Were not disclosed, but it was appar- ent that the war department was act ing on carefully worked out plan to be ready if the local or state authori- ties, reinforced by federal deputy marshals, were unequal to the situa- tion. Congress continued to show it's temper and the house, amid speeches of denunciation of an attempt to paralyze the country, unanimously passed the senate resolution piedging support to the administration in it's measures to deal with the emergency.
 Samuel Gompers, speaking tonight for organized labor. declared the in- junction in the coal strike case "can only result in creating new and more disturbing issues which may not be confined solely to the miners"
 The statement. issued jointly by MT. Gompers, Vice President Woll and Secretary Morrison. of the fedora ticn, after they had protested to At torney General Palmer against the action of the federal court at Indian. apolis. follows:
 Throughout the period of the war and during the nations time of stress the miners of America labored pa- tiently. patriotically and arduously in order that the principles of freedom and democracy might triumph over the forces of arbitrary authority, die tatorship and despotism.
 "When armed hostilities ceased last November, the miners found them selves in the paradoxical position where their intensive labors were be- ing used to further enrich the owners of coal mines and merchants dealing in coal. by the immediate reduction of the mining of the coal. Of course the mine owners readily conceived that an over abundance of mined coal would seriously disturb the high prices of coal and endanger their large margin of profits.
 "On the other hand, the miners found that with the constantly rising cost of necessities of life and with their income reduced over 50 per cent because of idleness. that they had reached the limit of human endura- nee. Orderly and improved processes were invoked to negotiate a new under standing with the mine owners and which would enable the miners to work at least five days during each week throughout the entire year, and allow them a wage sufficient to en- able them to live in deeency and free
