BUFFALO. N. Y. Nov. 12-The

patient with foreign agitators and un-
less their attitude changes. the door
that has always been open to Europe
may be shut, Herbert Hoover declared
here today In an address at the con-
vention of Americans Of Polish an
cesIry.
Mr.. Hoover outlined the progress
of the Polish people resulting from
the establishment of free govern
ment; told the audience what they
could do to maintain the new Polish
republic and reminded them Of their
duties to the country of their adop-
ton.
MANY foolish ideas are being cir
culated among the foreign-born popu-
lation of the United States" Mr..
Hoover said. MANY Of these foreign
born are interesting themselves in
the destruction of our primary insti-
tutions and defiance of our laws. The
American people are fast losing pat
fence with this attitude. 1t may de-
velop out Of this that the open door
towards Europe will be in a large
measure closed.
But worse than this. there may de-
velop out Of 1t prejudice against
every speaker OF a foreign language

judice against extending aid to those
countries in Europe from which our
foreign born populat ations spring."

CHICAGO, Nov. 12-Resumption Of
work in the country's bituminous coal
mines today was expected to be e1.
tensive but not on scale that would
permit anything like normal produc-
ton, according to statements OF the
United Mine Workers Of America
leaders and the coal mine operators.
In some sections the miners were
expected to dispute the authority OF
the order issued yesterday by John l..
Lewis, acting president of the organi-
cation, recalling the strike order In
keeping with the direction of federal
court order.
The statement of Duncan Mcdonald,
president Of the Illinois Federation OF
Labor, that III the position OF the gov
ernment Is to be taken as precedent
there is no such thing as freedom OF
contract, and the entire issue might
as well be fought out now." also was
interpreted as being the sentiment OF
a portion of the approximately 425, 900
men who went on strike nearly two
weeks ago. ~
The situation In the Illinois f1elds
was complicated further by the posi-
bility Of insurgents who caused trou'
BILE last summer, renewing their activ-
tiles, according to the union men, In
Kansas. where 10000 men normally
are employed, unrest was said to pre-
vail, and 1t was doubtful If that state,
already feeling a fuel shortage, would
see a very considerable resumption OF
production Immediately.
That many Of the minors would re-
turn to work was agreed, notably IN
the Alabama, Texas, Ohio and Penn
sylvania coal areas. The situation
was doubtful in Iowa, Maryland. West
Virginia, Indiana, Oklahoma and Ar
kansas.
