SERIOUS PHASE
Of COAL FAMINE
BEFORE nation
With Less Than 40 Per Cent of
Normal Output, Many More
Industries Are Closed.
TEMPERATURES DROP;
COLDER WAVE SEEN
Ranks of Striking Union Workers
Continue to Hold Firm-Rail
Stocks Rapidly Are
Diminishing.

Washington, Nov. 25.-With less
than 40 per cent Of the normal out,
nut of bituminous coal being pro.
duced, the nation is facing it's most
serious period since the strike Of
soft coal miners was ordered, accord
ing to reports received today by the
railroad administration. In scores of
cities. the number Of industries in
operation is rapidly falling while the
nations coal bin continues to dimin-
ish.
Officials held out only ray IF
hope for increased production. While
last weeks production snowea an
increase over the previous week, and
indications were fer a production of
about so per cent of normal this week
officials said they could not expect
sufficient production to check the
drain on the national supply until all
differences between the miners and
operators are ironed out by the con-
ference here.
Meanwhile, temperatures in the
northern half of the nation have drop
ped and the cry for coal for house
hold purposes grows louder. So far,
the supplies have been dealt out
rather literally to meet this demand,
it was said, but further releases Of
coal must be limited if the nation is
not to face a serious tieup Of indus
try as we'll as transportation before
normal production is again reached.
Many Mines Closed.
Ranks of the soft coal miners,
while showing some losses in men
returning to work, still hold firm, re-
ports showed. In some districts, it
was said, men have gone back to
their jobs in large numbers, but in
many mining areas the union ties
have continued to keep the mines
closed.
Reviewing the coal supply situa-
ton, the railroad administration re-
ported that 22.OO0.0OO tons were held
under it's distributing system Novem-
Der 2, the second day of the walk
out. Since then, these stocks, to-
gether with current production have
been drawn on to supply fuel for the
railroads, ships, public utilities, es-
sential industries and public welfare
uses.
The railroad administrations GEN.
trail coal committee still is holding
thousands of cars of export coal as
sembled at Atlantic tidewater ports
Officials declared that, contrary to
reports, conditions were normal at
the ports where this reserve supply
of coal is held and that no car con-
gestion was being permitted.

Roosevelt Family
Will Open "Coffee

New York, Nov. 25.-Purely as a

litical venture, members of the
Roosevelt family, have asserted
themselves to conduct in New York

existing coffee house on the edge Of

v0TET0 ACCEPT
plan Of Hines
Time and a Half for Slow
Freight, However, Probably
Will Be Rejected.

Cleveland, O., Nov. 25.-The 500
general chairman of the four great
railroad brotherhoods called in con-
ference here by the four executives
to consider the offer of Director Gen
eral of Railroad Hines granting time
and one-half for overtime in slow
freight service and uniform 16-hour
rule for crews held away from home
terminals, today voted to accept the
"away-from-home rule" but did not
reach a vote on the overtime propo-
sition.
Discussion of the overtime propo-
sition occupied most of today's two
sessions, many delegates bitterly OPP
posing the overtime proposition.
From an authoritative source to-
night it was learned that in all
probabilities the delegates will re-
ject the offer of time and one-half
for overtime in slow freight service
at tomorrow's meeting.

Radicals Go On Hunger Strike When
Officers Refuse to Take Down Bars;
Water and Oratory Is Their Sole Diet

New York, Nov. 25.-A hung
err strike was coupled with "si-
lence" strike today by 70 radi-
Gals at Ellis Island in an effort
to have removed an iron barrier
separating them from visiting
relatives.
The barrier was erected after
discovery that isevepal reds
planned to escape by exchanging
clothes with friends and after
some visitors had passed revol-
vers to the radicals.
In a letter to the house immi-
grafton committee, which is in
New York investigating the i'm
migration and deportation sys-
tenn, they reiterated they would
not attend deportation hearings
and would go on a hunger strike
in addition. Three summons
to the dining room were unan-
swered.
Drinking water and oratory
had been their only diet tonight
for "a hours.
About a half dozen voluntarily
attended hearings, but joined in
the hunger strike. One attend
ed hearing, but refused to an
swer questions.
Byron H. Uhl, acting commits
sioner at the island, asked the
advice of the local United States
district attorney, as to whether
hearings could be held without
the presence of the radicals. He
thought members of the house
committee had been incorrect in
announcing that a supreme court
decision required their presence.
The strikers, with the excep-
ton of two young women, are
segregated in a large room. All
are anxious to be deported to

Conference to Continue.

The main demand for the railway
men. as reported by union men here,
is that of a general increase, indie
pendent of all overtime questions, in
the rate of pay for firemen, engine
men and trainmen. It was said that
a quick strike would be justifiable
because the situation produced by
the mounting cost of living and the
length of time during which the
railwaymen's demands had been be-
fore the railroad administration made
unnecessary the enforcement of the
3O-day notice rule which normally
would precede strike.
Union officials who discussed the
situation here tonight insisted that
their names he withheld from publi-
cation in connection with the infor-
nation they gave. Fear of possible
restraining orders directed at them
in event Of a strike. was said to be
the reason, and in that connection it
was stated by the same officials that
the higher officials of the organize
ton most probably would deny posi-
tive knowledge Of the situation.
It was said that the secret confer
ence would continue in Cleveland to-
morrow, but that there was every
assurance that nothing Of concrete
nature would come from the discus
sions for at least three days.

Chicago, Nov. 25.-National lead
ers of the four great railway brother
hoods held secret session today at
which the insstencc of many local
unions that a general strike of all
railway workers in the United States
be called by December / to enforce
demands for general increase in
pay, was given serious consideration,
according to information obtained
here tonight from union railway
men. 1t was said by one unon Off
cial that many of the delegates VINO
are now in Cleveland went there
with the specific purpose of forcing
the general committee to call the
nation wide strike.
The union officials in Chicago,
from whom the information was OBJ
tanned, stated that so far as they
were aware, the secret conference in
Cleveland had not yet reached the
point where resolutions or motions
for the strike actually had been pre-
sented, but that the discussion con-
corning it today, according to their
information, was favorable to the
project and that the tie-up could be
expected within three days A similar
announcement was made late today
at the convention Of the newly or
ganized labor party here.
Buffalo, Detroit, Pittsburgh and
st. Louis were declared to have been
among the cities whose locals were
particularly insistent that strike
be called in view of recent govern
mental statements to the effect that
general advances in the pay of rail-
way workers could not ne considered
at this time. The ID locals Of the
Chicago railwaymen. it was said, had
voted unanimously in favor of the
strike, and that resolution asking
for strike decision had been sent
to W. G. Lee. president of the Broth
erhood of Railway Trainmen.
In some union quarters it was
stated tonight that the real reason
why the national officers now in
Cleveland hesitated to make an an
nouncement Of the strike or to be ir
the position of directing the propos-
ed strike CALL, is their fear of strike
injunctions, and that it is their pur-
pose to await the crisis which is ex-
pected from the action of the rank
and file of the railWaymen.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 25.-Infor-
nation obtained here tonight was

Cleveland convention before striking.
It was intimated that in the event u
national railroad strike is called, the

and spread to other railroad centers.
Union officials here TONIGHT were
emphatic in their assertions that
