U.S.. DEPARTMENT
Of JUSTICE GOES
AFTER STRIKERS

General Says Test Is Now
as to Whether This Is Gov
ernment of Law or of Men.

Indianapolis, Ind. Dec. 4.--Upon
the heels of its institution Of con-
tempt proceedings against officials of
the United Mine Workers of America,
the government has taken steps to
broaden the scope of its prosecutions
in connection with the strike of coal
miners and will investigate alleged
violations of the Lever fuel control
act and the Sherman antitrust law
by miners, operators and Others.
United States District Judge Ander-
son today ordered a special session of

States District Attorney l.. Ert Slack
and Dan w. Simms, special district
attorney, who Is aiding in the injunc-
tion proceedings, declaring that the

eapiases will be issued for the arrest
of men named in the charges and re-
moval proceedings to produce their

efHlileHl dttOTHeyS DTpuSul Oul lndl
the investigation was intended not
only to furnish relief in the present
coal crisis, but that the government
expects to prosecute all violators of
the law and will see that they suffer
the penalties provided by law, The
Lever law carries a penalty of $4,000
fine or imprisonment not to exceed
two years in the penitentiary.
1t was stated that determination to
begin the grand jury investigation
came as a result of disclosures in the
proceedings against the miners lead
ers, which tended to show that the
coal operators as well as the miners
were in conspiracy to violate the
Lever law Agents of the department
of justice two weeks ago started an
of alleged violation of
the Sherman antitrust law by oper-
ators and the evidence collected by
them has been added to that secured

FE RAL CONTROL
Of SUGAR IS OFF
BEGINNING JAN. |

isN iePhih3 JoJHssL eptc A. tEsStp wiRs
Washington, Dec. 4.-Abandonment
of governmental attempts to control
the distribution and sale of sugar was
announced today by Attorney General
Palmer.
After the sugar equalization board rs
dissolved December 81, the govern
ment will confine it's efforts to prose-
cution Of proflteeering In sugar, Mr..
Palmer said.
Explaining the departments policy
for the future, Mr.. Palmer said he
had neither the power nor the faciil-
ties to control the purchase or dis
tribution of sugar. This was said to
mean the end of the program for
bringing in fresh supplies of sugar
from Cuban and other sources. Ap-
parently little use can be made Of
the new authority conferred upon Mr.
Palmer by the president who desig-
mated him as food administrator.
Determination of the department of
justice to abandon its program was
said to give full leeway for rise in
sugar prices While federal agents
will continue to watch closely for
profiteering, officials said prosecu-
tions necessarily would be limited to
punishment of dealers whose trans
actions are within the United States.
The Cuban supply, recently esti-
mated at approximately 100000 tons
will be the first to which American
refiners will turn. They, however,
must face stiff European competition
in making their purchases in that
market

iBf NOFklh0 JOURNAL SPECIAL I6sSEp WiFEl
Douglas, Ariz, Dec. 1.-Two parties
of federal troops were reported to-
night in Aqua Prieta to be in pursuit
of four masked bandits who this
morning about o'clock attempted to
hold up the stage bound for Ell Tigre
mine, with S15,0 900 in American gold
'and currency One of three mounted
guards riding ahead of the stage, a
private in the Mexican federal army,
was killed and another. Captain Pedro
Garcia, was shot in the hand. The
stage, with three other federal SOL
diers in 1t, was a considerable dis
tance in the rear concealed from the
view of the bandits by a turn in tho
road. The unwounded guard, fight
ing from behind his horse held the
four masked men at bay while Cap
tain Garcia rode hack to get assist
ance AS the three soldiers left the
stage and came forward on the run
the bandits fled over the hills In a
northerly direction.
Parties have been started out from
Aqua Prieta to intercept the men
should they make for the border. The
BODY of the dead soldier was taken
to Esqueda and Captain Garcia was
brought to Aqua Pieta to have his
wound treated The pay roll money
was sent from Esqueda to Ell Tigre
later in the day.
1t is not known whether the rob-
bers were Mexicans or Americans, al
though II is rumored that they were
Americans. Only a month ago de-
serter from the American forces sta
toned on the border, in company
with half-breed Mexican, robbed the
warehouse of Ell Tigre mine at FSoue-
da. They were apprehended after a
few hours, and last week were tried
and sentenced The American was
sentenced to serve eleven years in
prison and the half-breed seven years.

ACUTE SHORTAGE
OF COAL CAUSES
GENERAL ALARM
Appeals for Re- Establishing
Fuel Administration Reach
Washington From All Parts
of the Country.

Washington, Dec. 4.-The country
as whole now is involved in coal ra =
tioning measures which have been
proposed to eke out supplies, short
ened by the nationwide strike of BIZ
luminous mine workers.
The flow of appeals to the re-estab-
lished fuel administration where the
shortage has become acute, through
representatives in congress, today de-
manded that the eastern seaboard and
New England be compelled to share
surplus supplies ana live UP to restric-
tions on power and light consumption
as drastic as those effective in the
west.
Senator Cummins, republican, of
Iowa. announced after consulting the
fuel administration that he had OBJ
tanned an increase in the allotment of
coal to Mississippi valley states, Louis
w. Hill chairman or the board of the
Great Northern railroad, representing
northwestern consumers made plea
for better distribution of coal re-
sources at the head of the great lakes
visited both the railroad and the fuel
administrations.
Meanwhile the responsible heads of
the larger coal mining concerns of the
country, in second day of general
conference here, announced that they
had agreed to pay miners an addition
al sum of II cents per ton for coal
mined, basing the figure on condition
in thin vein areas" and thereby fix
ing a scale practically for the entire
country. This more than carried out
the proposal of Fuel Administrator
Garfield that the coal mines be given
a Ia per cent advance without increase
IN the selling price of coal, they as
serted, because average figures
showed that an advance of 1856 cents
per ton would meet the requirements.
Proposals were made at the final
session that the mine operators adopt
an aggressive policy of fighting the
strike by resuming production on an
open shop" basis, but no definite
stand was taken on a collective poll
icy 1t was said the majority pre-
ferred to await the result of the re-
newed efforts by the government to
prosecute the leaders Of the striking
mine workers in the federal courts
lOI Tue Lever Jaw,
Coal production was said to be con-
tnuing at slight advance over the
last week, according to the reports
available in advance of the geological
weekly summary.
The railroad administration, since
the fuel shortage became acute in the
middle west, has been sending coal
westward on fast schedule. In the
last two weeks approximately 10000
cars have moved to districts west of
the Mississippi river. OF the total,
1854 cars were consigned to com
munities in the central western re.
gion, S,194 to the southwestern region
and 1881 cars to the northwestern
region.
Officials said that within the past
week an average of 500 cars day
had been sent to each of the three
ares. This was expected to repre-
sent about the maximum amount
which will be shipped because of the !
gradual lowering of reserves in the
east

STRONG AIR FORCE Is
PLANNED BY MEXICANS

Icy MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wiRE1
Washington, Dec. 4.-Mexico plans
to have a strong air force, but the war
department is without information as
to its present equipment, acting Secre-
tary Croweil told the house military
committee today. Mr.. Crowell said
that if Mexico had twenty-four mod
ern pursuit planes as intimated by
Representative La Guiardia he
thought Mexico would have suprem
acy of the air over the United States
in event of war. Mr. LaGuardia said
he understood Mexico had obtained
this number of planes from France
and England during the past year.
Urging creation of a separate air
service, Mr. Crowell declared that
such a department SIS or soon will be
the most important body connected
with national defense"
