By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, November 3.-Develop-
ment today in the strike Of more than
425. 900 soft coal miners throughout the
country were expected to clarity the
situation to the extent OF determining
whether production was to be stopped
indefinitely in a large part Of the bitumi-
nous zone or whether any considerable
number of workers were willing to re-
turn to work.
No plans have been made for opening
any of the mines with imported labor,
and old men who return to work are to
be treated as though they had never laid
down their tools, according to Thomas
T. Brewster. chairman of the coal opera
tors scale committee. No miner Will be
Disseminated against. he said.
Reports from most Of the large mining
centers indicated that while large
number of the mines would be in shape
for the miners to resume work, the
operators did not expect many union
men to re-enter the workings today.
Injunction Order Observed.
Union leaders who were temporarily
restrained by federal court at Indian
apolis last Friday from further activity
in the strike have observed the order.
but whether plans have been discussed
regarding a modification of the strike
order was a matter Of conjecture To-Day.
Federal troops today were in the min
ing regions Of West Virginia, Tennes-
see, wyoming and New Mexico. under
orders to preserve the peace In case
disorders arise in connection with the
strike. One company Of the SD imam
try also was on it's way from San Di.
ego, Calf. to Utah for duty in the coal
fields of that state.
The National Guard Of Colorado and
Oklahoma have already been sent TO
the coal districts Of those states and
several companies OF state troops have
been fnobilized at Birmingham. Ala, in
case their services are needed quickly
to quell disturbances around the mines
there.

Gompers and Stone

Fact to Lewis.
MIR. PALMER SENDS
REPLY TO MINERS
Tells Them Govern.
ment Is Anxious
to Aid.

President Wilson's offer to appoint
q commission to arbitrate the issues
involved in the soft coal strike is still
open. This announcement was made
today at the White House, and was
brought forth by the proposal OF the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
that an industrial commission be
created to deal with existing labor
troubles.
It became known today that Sam
uel Gompers, president of the Amerl-
can Federation of Labor, had IN
formed John L. Lewis, acting presi-
dent of the miners union OF the
governments continued willingness TO
arbitrate the strike, and that war
rem S Stone chief of the locomotive
engineers. also had communicated
with MIR. Lewis by long-distance tele-
phone Details Of their advice are
not known, but the impression pre-
walls in official circles that both Com
pers and Stone favored calling of the
mine strike.
Administration officials were some-
what mystified by the proposal of the
engineers, in view of the fact that
President Wilson now has before him
q list of names from which he is to
select a commission to map out a
program of industrial adjustments.
but despite it's antiquities they were
inclined to accept the statement
issued by the brotherhood as a sincere
effort to assist in bringing the mine
and other strikes to an end.
Have Faith in Engineers Plan.
One of the Presidents advisers said
today that IL the engineers can prevail
upon the miners to submit their case to
arbitration. there will not be minutes
unnecessary delay in naming the conf
mission. There is no need, it was said,
to await the working out of general
program before this specific controversy
can be dealt with.
The comnaisslon which sthes. nahtnet
has recommended that the President
create is intended to deal with the fu-
ture rather than the present and would
be no more In position to arbitrate the
coal strike than the national industrial
conference which met last month was to
intervene in the steel strike situation.
Expect Names Tomorrow.
1t is expected that the members of
this commission will be announced
following tomorrow's meeting of the
cabinet. 1t probably will consist of
fifteen members. and while no infor-
nation has been given out as to per-
sonnet it is understood that no one
who sat in the recent conference was
on the list the cabinet submitted to
the President. The choosing of en-
tirely new men would be in accord
snce with the recommendations of
the public group in the late confer
ence.

Train Service Curtailed.

Another feature Of the strike, at
fecting the general public, has been
curtaiiment of passenger train service
on some railroads. Director General
Hines has given regional directors
wide discretion in this matter, as they
are in a position to survey the coal
needs of their respective districts
Freight service will not be disturb
ed unless the coal shortage becomes
serious. Oh1cials believed that with
the stocks Of coal in transit. together
with the thousands of tons stored at
terminals, it would not be necessary
to curtail the service for several
weeks
survey of all the coal stocks held
by railroads, under direction of the
railroad administration, is under way.
The administration also is gathering
figures on the quantity of coal at sea-
board. intended for export, but which
has been ordered held to be used by
the railroads IL necessary.
Labor officials declined today to dis
cuss reports that Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
Of Labor, had suggested a way of
settling the coal strike.
Mr.. Gompers is in New York and in
his absence officers of the federation
said there was no one here to speak
for him. In some labor circles. how =
ever, there was a more hopeful view
of the situation.
