man for them here yesterday. He had

mated that the anthracite miners
might go on a sympathetic strike II
the government attempts to prosecute
the leaders of the miners union.
The miners will stay out three
months or six months II necessary"
and they will starve rather than sur
render now" said Wallace. "Ar this
talk about this being a leaders strike
Is nonsense. II is strike of the rank
and file. Just wait and see what hap
pens.
There's a tidal wave of accumulated
bitterness among the miners. God
knows there is reason enough for
strike. The whole story will come out
in the wash now. ! predict that the
American public will be swept with
sympathy for these miners when the
true story becomes known"
While the miners are reported to
have a strike fund OF s15.0cO, 90. one
third OF which is invested in Liberty
and Victory bonds. the order of Judge
Anderson may prevent the use OF any
Of theseSfunds. 1t could not be deter
