Situation Of Labor
Considered Very Grave


the situation generally unchanged,
with miners waiting to see what
orders they would get from Indian
apolis. Government plans went for
ward as heretofore, with the fuel
administration and the railroad ad-
ministration working hand in hand
to move coal and distribute it where
most needed.
Reports that a blizzard was
sweeping out of the northwest was
disquieting bit OF news received
during the day, officials realizing
that a week of cold weather would
cut deeply into reserve coal stocks
and make conditions critical unless
the men return Immediately to
work.
Frank Morrison, secretary of the
American Federation of Labor,
would not add anything to the state
ment issued last night by the execu-
tive council supporting the striking
miners and demanding that the gov
eminent withdraw the injunction
proceedings.
That was the statement of the
executive council and it speaks for
ITSELF" Morrison said. Il am not
here to interpret it."
The federation secretary had been
asked for statement in view of the
opinion in some quarters that the
announcement of organized labor
was notice to the striking miners
to stand pat.
There is nothing to add" Morn

ready been asked a number of times
