Washington, November 5.-The gov

the offers of the miners to come to

His statement came in response to
a request from Samuel Gompers that
the injunction be withdraw. Gompers
said that he had an abiding faith
in the possibilities if the injunction
were withdrawn.
Ames' utterance was taken as a
reply to other labor leaders who took
the Gompers view. The statement
shattered all peace talk. The gov

miners have declared they will not re-
turn to work until the Injunction is
vacated.
