BLUNT NOTICE TO

Not be Tolerated.

BY Associated Press

/ 4SS AeHotAhttu fFeec-
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-
The government served blunt
notice on soft coal miners and
operators tonight that interfer-
ence with soft coal production
would not be tolerated.
Warning that legal prosecu-
ton would be employed to
thwart conspiracies by either
side and troops sent wherever
necessary to protect miners will
ing to work, came from the de-
partnent of justice after mem
bers of the cabinet had consid-
cred every phase of the fuel sit
uation, admittedly critical, in
view of the abrupt breaking off
of negotiations.
1t is not the intention of the gov
ernment to let the mines remain idle
with country in the grip of the cold
weather and the coal stocks rapidly
diminishing.
The administration, II was said by
those in a position 10 know, had full
ly expected the miners to reject the
A percent wage increase offered by
Fuel Administrator Garfield. Anti
cipating this. plans had been consid-
cred for augmenting the present out
put OF bituminous mines, officially
normal
To Afford Protection.
(, A statement by Asst Atty. Gen.
Ames, issued late in the day. gave
assurance to all miners that they
would be afforded ample protection
If they returned TO work, even If
troops had to be called out. This
was the only definite statement OF
policy from the government. In Of
fetal circles it was said that the fed
eral authorities were determined. to
force resumption of operations on
the terms laid down by the fuel ad-
ministrator.
The department OF justice state
ment called attention 20 the fact that
instructions issued heretofore by the
war department in connection with
the possible use of troops in coal
field regions still were in effect, and
that department commanders stood
ready to guard the fields the instant
their aid was requested by the state
authorities. Operators Friday night
set out 10 resume production, so far
as that was possible, under the mud
ding conditions by telegraphing no
tice for posting notices everywhere

for all men willing to work.
Lewis Goes Home.
John l. Lewis, acting president OF
the United Mine Workers Of Ameri-

wage negotiation fighting, went
home Friday night. worn out by the
long wrangle. Before leaving for
indianapolis, Mr.. Lewis talked with
Seo'y Of Labor Wilson and Samuel
| Gompers, president Of the American
Federation of Labor. He did not
have much to say about the situation
and explained that he had arranged
with Gompers to have the fedora
tion's lawyers assist counsel for the
miners in perfecting their appeal
from the ruling Of Federal Judge
Anderson, ordering the coal strike
order cancelled.
In labor and official circles the
meeting OF Lewis and Gompers was

was no statement concerning ques-
tions discussed except Lewis refer

The above are the hotly contest
