 Confidence of acceptance by all re- publicans of his plan to dispose of the, treaty on November 12 was expressed tonight by. Senator Lodge .srier to his departure for a week @efld trip to his nome in Boston. Senator Hitchcock and other democrats indicated they would stand on the plan to curtai1 de- bate without agreement upon def1- nite voting date.

 or written. that the strike is to be en- forced as previously announced. from issuing any further strike orders or messages of encouragement or ex- hortation and from distributing any strike benefits.
 The order was so sweeping that MT. Ames explained after its issuance that 1t would prevent any of the men named in the bill from addressing mass meet ings.
 What the Petition Charged.
 The petition by the government, upon which the order was based. charged that the union men were con spring to limit the facilities for the production of coal and to restrict the supply and distribution of the fuel. The writ accordingly commanded them to refrain from continuing the alleged conspiracy.
 The petition emphasized that the suit was based upon a wartime act by which the government was given control of the fuel and food supplies of the country. and also pointed out that the strike would cause cessation of transportation and thus throw back upon the public. treasury the burden of paying the guaranteed incomes which the government contracted to pay the railroads when it took control of them. It was also brought out that the act in question specifically pro- vided that it was to continue in force until the end of the state of war had been proclaimed by the president.

RAILROAD UNION OFFICIALS
 HAVE EiTERED NO PROTEST

Washington, Oct. 31.-Railroad un= ion officials copferring late today with. Attorney General Palmer entered no protest against the injunction issued in Indianapolis today against calling the coal strike and rendered the good offices of their organiza tionsl in at tempting to arrange a settlement of the strike.
 MT. Palmer said he told the union men that they were at liberty to say to either side in the strike that the president was ready to act immedi- ately to have the controversy settled amicably whenever the strike was called of.
 President Gompers and other off, ciais of the American Federation of | Labor were said, however, to have urged their views on the matter of the ] injunctionin their conference with the 1 attorney general
 T explained the necessity for the &C., tion," Mir, Palmer said, 'and the man. | ner in y>Aich this case must be differ entiated on it's facts from all other cases in which injunctions have been used. I have been opposed and the administration has been opposed to government by injunction whereby employers might use the processes of ' force their employees into submission.
 This is the government itself, us- ing its own courts to protect itself from paralysis. Ii is not an injunc- ton obtained by employers, not for the | benefit of employers, not to settle the controversy, but to save the people of the entire country from disaster It doesn't affect the right of a man
 to work when he pleases."
 In this connection MT Palmer ex-
 plained that the petition for injuhc-
 tion as prepared by the government
 seeks to restrain the officers of the
 United Mine Workers from doing any
 thing in furtherance of the strike or
 der.
 'If the injunction Is obeyed," MT
 Palmer said, land it goes without say.

 will take away the direction of the
 strike from above and leaves to tht

Washington, Oct. 31.-Samuel Com pers, speaking tonight for organized labor. declared the injunction in the coal strike case can only result in creating new and more disturbing is- sues which may not be confined solely to the miners"
 The statement. issued jointly by MT. Gompers. Vice President Woll and Secretary Morrison of the federation, after they had protested to Attorney General Palmer against the action of the federal court at Indianapolis. fol- lows:
 Throughout the period of the war and during the nations time of stress the miners of America labored patient ly, patrioticaly and arduously in order that the principles of freedom and de- mocracy might triumph over the forces of arbitrary authority. dictatorship and despotism
 When armed hostilities ceased last November, the miners found them selves in the paradoxica1 position where their intensive labors were be- ing used to further enrich the owners of the coal mines and merchants deal- ing in coal by the immediate reduction of the mining of the coal. Of course, the mine owners readily conceived that an overabundance of mined coal would seriously disturb the high prices of coal and endanger their large margin of profits.
 "On the other hand. the miners found that with the constantly rising cost of l necessities of life. and with their in- come reduced over 50 per cent. because of idleness that they had reached the limit of human endurance. Orderly and improved processes were invoked to negotiate a new understanding with the mine owners and which would enable the miners to work at least five 1 days during each week throughout the entire year and allow them a wage
 sufficient to enable them to live 1T decency and free from many of the l pressing uncertainties of life. 'In attempting to negotiate this new understanding and relation the miners 1 found that their plea for continuous ! employment would destroy the mine I owners arrangement to curtail the l mining of coal so as to continue ;ex. | plotting the public with high and ex' 1 orDitant prices.
 The mine owners very. ,cleverly me the issue by appearing willing ant anxious to negotiate. but only if tn .j miners would first throw aside the onl power at their command 10 gain re
