At Behest of Court

DENVER, Nov. 2l.-George o. John

Workers of America, announced to-day
that the strike of the btuminous coal
miners in Colorado ordered for Friday
midnight, had been called off in accord
ancc with the injunction issued late
last night by District Judge Clarence
j. Morley Of Denver.
The temporary injunction issued bv
Judge Morley held that the strike was
in direct violation of the State Indus
trial Commis sion law which provided
that no strike should be called on any
account without thirty days notice
beng filed with the commission in or
der that the merits of the controversy
might be investigated.
Presid ident Johnson issued the follow
ing statement:
Il have complied with the court or
ders | have intrusted our case to
United States District Attorney Ted
row. with the hope that he Will compel
the coal operators likewise to obey the
mandates of the United States and Dis
trict courts of Colorado.
Il believe that the United States
court order at Indianapolis recalling
the nationwide strikes makes it man
datory on the part O the operators to
reemploy all men who went out on the

''Foolllardy Venture Now
Worthless to the Nation''

CINCINNATI, Nov. 21.-The selec-
ton of Ancor, fifteen miles from this
city, for a nitrate plant was a gross
stupidity, and the present half-com-
rleted buildings and pieces of property
arc worthless to the government.
according to an official statement made
tonight by W. J. Graham, chairman
Of the Congressional investigation sub
committee, who visited the Ancor site
day.

Nebraska, and F. J. Garrett. of Tennes-
see, constituted the committee. with

mas been expended at Ancor.' Mr. Gra-
ham said. "and that 81 100000 was
spent or labor. materials, rentals and
the ground, where, on other hand. more
than S5 100000 was utterly wasted for
overhead administration expenses and
commission for the Air Nitrates Com
pany."
Asked what would be the recommen
dations OF the committee, Mr. Graham
said:
"Primarily, We want Ancor disman-
tied, junked and the effects salvaged
for whatever they will bring. Almost
all Of the money has been tossed to the
winds, and the government will never
get back one-twentieth of its disburse-
ments.'
Mr. Graham declared the expenditure
as war measure, was not warranted,
and added that the "entire venture was
foolhardy."
The subcommittee will report to the
major Investigating committee, and the
results of their Investigations will
