COAL men

ON ACTION.
Miners Union Heads Recess
in Indianapolis Without
Telling Decision on Judge
Anderson's Order.
Time LIMIT TOMORROW

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 10-The gen.

Workers of America which met here
today to take action on the manda-
tory Injunction Of Federal Judge =.
B. Anderson, demanding that the
strike order be rescinded before s p.
NJ tomorrow. recessed shortly after
o'clock this afternoon, but no init
nation of what the action Of the COM
mittee would be was given out.
The session resumed at o'clock.
The meeting place Of the committee
which includes international officials.
district president and members of the
executive board and scale committee
representing 425.000 striking bitumin-
Gus coal miners. was kept secret until
Just few minutes before the confer
ence convened.
A sergeant at arms was stationed at
the entrances to the hall and only
delegates were permitted to approach
within 20 feet OF the entrance.
Several members Of the general
committee arrived last night and early
this morning, but would not comment
on the strike situation.
The majority OF the miners Off
cials seemed to take their cue from
the tatement issued last night BY
John L. Lewis. acting president of the
mine workers, in which he said
Statements to the effect that shall
or shall not comply with the manda-
tory proceeding of the Injunction writ
are unauthorized and premature.'
While it was believed in some cir
cles that an order resembling the
strike call issued Oct Is would be
approyed bv the Miners committee
and sent on its way to the coal fields
before p. m. tomorrow, the time
limit set by Judge Anderson, its re-
cepuon by the coal diggers was re-
garded as problematical. In some
districts, 1t was asserted, there wa s
no question but that the miners would
return to work Immediately on receipt
Of the word from headquarters cal
ling off the strike, but in others, the
action of the men was considered
doubtful.
Miners May Not Obey
Reports from the various coal
fields since the strike was called in

that the general committee Of the min

the apparent decay Of religion" The
report containing that assertion was
made by Judge w. H. Thomas, of San.

World Commission on the Family
The seeming dissolution of the relig.
1ous theory of marriage has been one
Of the big items in the instability of
the family, the judge declared After
that came nineteen other contributing
causes, which he cited, as follows
The growing spirit Of individualism !;
the Women's Movement, including the
feminist propaganda and higher edu-
cation of women; growth of modern
industrialism; higher living stan
dards; growth Of modern cities: high.
er age OF marriage; popularization of

disease; hasty marriages.; the double
standard: newspaper publicity; child.
less marriages.; the war, and too many
cases of the wifes failure to recog.

The judge recommended. in behalf
of the World Commission on the Fam.
lily, that an educational campaign be
directed toward informing the general
public on the causes which demoralize
the family and upon the following
important phases of the subject:
That the sacredness of the family
as divine institution must be main
tained; that the homogeneous form OF
marriage as we'll as the permanency
Of the relation must be insisted on;
not only on the grounds Of public pol
icy and the best interests of society
but also because we believe the family
to be divine institution and the mar
riage relation to be divinely ordained.
