ATTORNEY GENERAL
WARNS OPERATORS


ashinston, Nov. suksAstion
from the Wholesale Coal Trade aaso-
citation Of New York that the gov,
ernment. should not fix maximum
price for coal OF interfere with the,
normal course Of supply and, demand
during the strike brought from Att
orney General Palmer today yisor-
GUS assertion that he would take the
same action against persons enhance
ing prices as was taken against the
union officers. d
.'The action Of the government
was taken solely in the general pub
lie interest" |" Mr.. Palmer declared,
'"and ] shall not permit It to be used
directly or Indirectly for the benefit
of the employers side Of the con-
.troversy.' s.sls
h w. A. Marshall, president Of the
ASSOCIATION, wrote Mr.. Palmer recon-
mending that miners who want to-
work be given protection and that
coal consumers be allowed to obtain
fuel through the usual normal chan
nels. He asserted that with adequate
protection enough coal would be pro-
duced to meet the emergency, that
fixing maximum price would cur
tail the operators ability to meet
abnormal production costs caused by
the strike and discourage their eff
forts to continue work, that priority
lists would overstock certain consum-
ers and allow others to 60 without
and that the fuel control act could
be used to prevent attempts at pro-
.fiteering.
"I am in receipt Of your letter
and am amazed by its contents, !" the
attorney general replied.

TREATY VOTE MAY
BE HELD UP BY
STATE ELECTIONS

Washington, Nov. Local poll
tics in various states threatens to de-
lay action on the peace treaty until
the middle Of next week, senate lead
ers indicated today.
|. An attempt was being made to get
a vote today ON the Lafollette amend
lment to strike. out labor clauses Of
the treaty. -
Senator Lodge, Massachusetts,, and
several other senators, planned q
dash to their home states tonight to
help in local elections. They intend
to return to Washington Wednesday
of next week, when work on the
treaty will be resumed.
Effort to force definite date for
a final vote on the treaty was made
this afternoon by Senator Fall, New
Mexico.
Senator Hitchcock declared that
the administration leaders would not
consider the proposition unless the
motion of the Senator from New
Mexico was reduced to writing.
Senators Fall and Hitchcock ar
gued for several minutes over the
question. Senator Fall, in order to
obtain an early vote, suggested that
future debate be limited to ten min
utes. Senator Lodge asked that unan-
imous consent be given for aPvote on
November 10. -
Senator Hitchcock indicated today
that Democratic senator's probably
would hold q caucus next week to
agree on their reservations program.
They had previously determined on
a program which they attempted to
put through the senate foreign reac-
tions committee. That having failed,
they are now preparing for a final
stand to force elimination Of reser-
vations which they believe would en-
danger the treaty. A conference with
President Wilson is expected to be
asked by Senator Hitchcock.

STRIKE SHOWS NO
Signs OF WEAKNESS
Order For Walkeut Apparently Ef:
fee.ive-Mors Than 1000 Gait
Job.-Tsnpo5ary Restraining :
Order Government Ignored. -:

Chicago, Nov. 2.-Information OBJ
tanned from the bituminous coal fields
of the United States in which more
than 100000 members Of the United
Mine Workers of America have been
ordered out on strike tonight indicat-
ed that there would be nothing which
could check the momentum OF the
waIkout despite the temporary re-
straining order which was issued FRI
day in the United States district
court at indianapolis. Deprived OF
thesdirecting hands of its leaders as
q result of the injunction, the mem
bership Of the union was prepared to
enter the first full working day since
the strike became effective in an ef-
fort to demonstrate its ability to halt
the production of soft coal through
out the nation.
The operators, so far as available,
reports show, have not yet made
plans to combat the strike, notwith-
standing the fact that troops, both
federal and state, have been sent in
many instances to localities from
which they might best guard the coal
properties in the contingency Of vio-
lent efforts to prevent non-union
men from taking the places Of the
strikers. On the other hand there
has been no reported picketing ae-
tivity by members Of the unions.
Both operators and strikers apparent
ly had decided to await developments
before either Of them takes a further
definite step in the controversy.
Coal in Transit Seized.
Reports from various railroad cen
tiers showed that seizure ofFcoal in
transit as ordered by the federal gov
ernment had begun. Hundreds Of
coal laden cars in transit were taken
over by regional directors of the fuel
administration and were side-tracked
to await possible distribution under
the administrations priority schedule.
: Much interest was expressed by
operators representatives as to the
exact manner in which the restrain
ing order would be considered by un-
ion leaders and their followers tomor-
row. No intimation was made that
anything but strict obedience to the
terms of the writ would be offered by
the heads of the unions. Rather was
the conjecture based upon what or
ders, if any, that might cancel strike
arrangements would be given, and
whether the men themselves would
obey such orders in the event of their
issuance.

MYSTERIOUS LIGHT
IS NOT AN A|RPLANE

The particularly bright light noticed
by Rayites recently in the northwest,
and considered by many to have been
the lights of an aeroplane, is not a
mystery any longer.
In view of the fact that aerOplane
transportation is said to have been
established, many Rayites were Of the
opinion that the mysterious light
came from one of the supposed aero
planes.
1t remained for H. e. Plimpton to
provide the solution. He stated to
the Copper Camp representative that
this light was the new evening star,
but one of such particular brightness
and magnitude that it was but natural
to have mistaken it. Mr.. Plimpton
especially remembers this star as the
one that was discovered shortly after
the San Francisco earthquake.
With the solution at hand, Rayites
will not need to be disturbed with re
gard to the nature of the light.
