Will Not Be Disclosed
Until Struggle Starts
Rx the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
! Measures to meet the situation
which would result from the threat
cned strike of bituminous coal min
ers Saturday were considered today
by administration officials.
No reply from officers OF the United
Mine Workers OF America to the de-
mand of President Wilson that the
strike be called of is expected until
after the miners executive commit
tee meets at Indianapolis Wednes-
day, but meantime officials took cog
nizance OF the statements OF union
leaders that IL would be physically
impossible to Withdraw the strike or
Ger by November 1.
The administrators program for
dealing with the strike naturally will
nor be disclosed until :ae strike has
deveioped.
ITO announce now what the gov
ernment will do In the event Of a
strike" said one official. would be
to play into the hands OF the bolshe-
vik element. If you are going to
start a great offensive you dc not

Temporary Advance Sought
to Meet Living Cost Pend
inq Redistribution.

A temporary increase Of 40 per cent
in the salaries of all District en-
ployes, except f1remen and policemen.
will be sought from Congress by the
District employees branch of the
Federal Employees Union. The en-
ployes want the proposed increase to
remain in effect to meet the high cost
of living until the reclassiflcation
commission completes its work.
This was announced today by E
NJ. Dawson, president of the District
branch of the Federal Employees
Union.
A resolution. drawn up by the
'nnian. calls fer the payment of this
40 per cent increase out Of unex-
pended revenues of the District OF
Columbia. Whether the resolution
when introduced will carry this pro-
vision is not certain.
Flremen and policemen are excIud.
ed because Congress already has
taken steps to give these branches
an increase.
$500 Workers Interested.
Approximately $500 District workers.
it was estimated at the District build
ing, would come in for the 40 per cent
increase if the limit is left at $500.
Officials of the union will take steps
today or tomorrow to have the resoltl-
ton introduced. Chairman Mapes of
the House District committee stated
last week that his committee would
consider a proposed temporary increase
for District employees if approved by the
Commissioners. It. is probable that the
resolution will be sent to the Commits
sioners for their opinion as soon as it is
introduced.
. Reasons for Asking Increase.
In seeking az temporary raise pend
ing revision of salaries by the reclas-
sificatlon commission. the District work
ers argue that if the present cost of
living warranted an increase for police
men and firemen, it also warrants an
increase for them.
p PRESIDENT Dawson today conferred
with members of Congress regarding
this bill and was assured of their earn
est support.

IudfYiIiuaf-Action

III is thought at least possible that
many thousands of the miners may take
the Presidents appeal for their guild
ance and refuse to obey the strike or
der issued by their leaders. Such or
them as may follow this course VIII
be assured that they will be protected
by the government in their right to
work. In other strikes now in effect
men have refused to obey their leaders
orders to strike.
Strong emphasis was laid today by
administration officials upon the point
that the days intervening before Mo-
yember ], when the order to strike be-
comes effective, should be devoted to
reasoning with the mer, and especially
TO reassuring them that the govern
ment has not refused to listen to their
complaints, but, OH the contrary, is
eager TO have them brought under me-
diation.
At the same time there is no abate-
ment of the uneQuivocal announcement
that in the event of q failure of the
appeaI to reason, humanity and patroit-
ism. and a resort to force and disorder,
the government will use every means
in its power to protect the people and
the Government.

ton of the United States and the
