President of Kansas District
Of Miners Union, Predicts
100000 Of Them Will Join
in BituminouS WaIk0ut. !
GOVERNORS CONSIDER
MORE DRASTIC ACTION
Dynamiting Of Mine Switch
Track in Pittsburgh Coal
District Reported Regional
Fuel Men Mostly in Control

Chicago, Nov. 30.-Mines in many
states were ready tonight to reopen
tomorrow on the basis OF the IA pei
cent wage advance fixed by FueI
Administrator Garfield, but the an
ticipated refusal of many union
miners to break their strike, now
one month old, left the prospect for
increased production an unanswered
question.
But with nearly the whole of the
country under fuel restrictionS more
stringent than in war time, many
governors were considering taking
some drastic action similar to that
Of Gov. Henry ]. Allen of Kansas
who took over control of the svip
mines under court ceivsrshPs and
who had federal troops at the mines
tonight. and 1900 National Guards
men on the way to protect volunteer
workers. Governors and attorneys
general of seven states held con-
ference here today, recommending
a more thorough Organization of the
fuel administration and more rigid
conservation of coal, but agreed on
no drastic action pending develop
ment of government plans. The
governors will meet again in one
week.
Dynamite Switch Track.
Alexander Howat, president OF, the
Kansas districtsof the Miners union,
whose $4,000 members have been on
strike since Novemberi1, predicted
that 100000 anthracite miners would
walk out in Pennsylvania soon. He
|belittled Governor Aliens action in
obtaining volunteer workers for the
strip mines.
The Kansas situation was marked
by the report of the dynamiting OF
a mine switch track in the Pittsburg
coal district.
Generally regional fuel commit
tees virtually took over control OF
fuel stocks today and hundreds OF
non-essential industries will be
closed. In Chicago the regional Off
Gals organized local committee OF
coal dealers who must submit sworn
statements of supplies on hand and
deliver no coal to non-essential in
dustries and institutions and make
NO deliveries even to essentials-the
first FIVE divisions of the priority list
when they have less than one
weeks supply. II
Dealers Own No Coal,
T. w. Proctor, chairman of the
northwestern region committee, ex-
planned that the action meant that
the dealers really owned no coal
that it was now in the hands of the
government to be distributed as the
government directed.
"Nonessential industries will be
crippled, manufacturing will be
stopped, commerce will be lessened
and slowed down and luxuries, il
not certain convehiences, of travel
will be eliminated.
Mr.. Proctor explained that tbe sit
uation would call for elimination oi
