Lewis a Bigger Man
Than Cabinet Members

Washington. Oct. 3l.--When Walter
w. james. one OF the two official Wasn-
ington representatives. of tho United
Mine Workers of America, was asked
today:
How about the man on the Job
the average miner--how does he feel
IN regard to the presidents statement?
Isn't he likely to be impressed by it
refuse to heed the strike call?" He
answered:
John L, Lewis is a bigger man In
the eyes OF the miners than any MEM
Der of the presidents cabinet. They
nave complete faith in his leadership.
Not that he dictates to them. Miners
are not the kind of men to be dictated
to. They are the dictators in the
United Mine Workers of America
james said although the strike would
involve approximately 600, 900 men-the
greatest number engaged in one In
dustrtal conflict in the history of the
nation-for that matter in the history
OF the word--it will be a quiet af-
fair"
AT midnight the men working in
and around the mines will walkout
quietly" he said. He said it will be
orderly throughout so far as the miners
are concerned. They will remain away
from the mines unit 1.-The strike is set
tied. The are an orderly, law abiding
class of men. If there is any trouble
it will be in the nonunion fields and it
will be melted either by nonunian or
state troops
The biggest nonunion bituminous
fields. James said. are in West Vir-
ginia. There he said. it was a
fifty fifty proposition" one-half
of the men being unionized and about
one-half unorganized. These fields, ac-
cording to James, produce about 3,000,-
600 tons of soft coal a week.
AT midnight tonight" continued
James, "the only men left working in
the bituminous fields where the union
is 100 per cent. strong will be the
pumpmen and others necessary to safe
guard the physical condition of the
properties. We felt that we have as
much INTEREST," these properties as
the operators and it is up to us to
keep them from being flooded or other
wsedamaged."

at will be impossible. If the strike
becomes effective, to continue trans
portation, mails would be halted,
army transportation would come to
a standstill, foods and fuel would be
held up and it would be impossible
to deliver raw materials to factories
or to carry away their products" de-
clared the assistant attorneys general.
THE government has pecuniary in
terest, too, in this strike" he pointed
out, IN that it has 1897 contracts
providing for the delivery of 387, 900
tons of ccal daily to the railroad ad-
ministration. 1t will be impossible for
the operators to fill these contracts
if the miners program is successful"
Stoppage of transportation because
of the curtailment of the fuel output
would result in an enormous increase
in railroad revenues, it was said. and
the government would be compelled
to make up the deficit, under its
guarantees.
The miners hoped to enforce their
demands for so per cent. increase in
wages. the six-h hour day and five-
day week, through the distress the
shutdown of the mines would bring,
1t was indicated in a review of min
ers' proceedings up to the final strike
call.
1t would be more difficult to get
the men back in the mines. once they
had walked out, than to prevent them
from dropping their tools. the gov
ernment contended in its prayer for
the injunction.
Unless restrained, it was contended.
the miners officials would send
forthwith" kilograms giving the A.
nal orders to strike.
Terms Of Order.
Under the terms Of the restraining
order, the miners executives are
bound to abide by the orders of the
court and the defendants in con-
spiracy" are barred from sending the
final strike orders, or from keeping
this or any other strike in effect, and
they are prohibited from encouraging
miners from refraining from work.
Distribution Of strike benefits also
is barred and this will prevent many
miners from quitting their work, it
was believed although the injunction
is not directed against individual
miners.
The plea for the injunction Nas
signed hy.,.Iss.E. ,Slaek,s United States
district attorney; Mr.. Ames and
Special Assistant Mitchell. Of the att
torney generals staff.
ABOUT Same as Present Prices.
The maximum prices restored by
today's order are approximately those
prevailing during the summer and
until recent rises owing to the threat
cned strike. There is no material re-
duction from the present prices, Off
cials of the geological survey said.
The object of the order was to pre-
vent profiteering or increases.
BY states the prices are for run of
mine, prepared sizes and slack OF
screenings, and vary according to the
mine. They are the same as those
in effect Jan. 81, 1919.
The lowest and highest prices by
states include;
Alabama. s2.45 to s4.35; Kentucky,
$3.50 to $3.50; Tennessee. s2.75 to
$3.50; West Virginia, $2.45 to So; Vir-
sinia, $40 to $500.

Outstanding Features
In Various Coal Fields

New York, Oct. 31-O =
standing features of reports gathered
by the International News Service
today from the various coal mining
centerS were:
l. Union officials claim that
all organized miners will obey
the strike call tomorrow morn
ing and that approximately
100000 will quit work.
2. The private consumer will
feel the effect almost Immediately
while most of the public service
corporations and big industries
have from two to five weeks re-
serve supply of coal on hand
3. In only a few localities are
there any indications that dis
orders will break out.
According to the claims of officials
of the United Mine Workers, about
100000 miners will strike in Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, West Virginia and Ken
lucky. The chief danger spot in this
district is apparently West Virginia.
a big force of regular troops have
been ordered into that state.
The great industrial belt around
Pittsburgh will be hard hit. Officials
of the miners union claim that the
corporations in that zone have only
about thirty days reserve supply of
fuel on hand.
A great scramble for coal is re-
ported from the middle west, espec-
tally, Illinois, the third largest coal
producing state in the country. The
retail fuel reserve in Chicago is re-
ported to be at low ebb, but most
of the public service corporations
and the packing plants are said to
have enough coal on hand to run
them for a month or more.
Strike leaders claim that 10000
miners will quit i'm Kentucky. There
are a number of small mines in Illi-
nois and Kentucky worked by their
owners, but their production is so
small that it cannot be counted. So
far the owners of big mines in the
middle west have made no move to-
wards using strikebreakers.
In Alabama the biggest coal pro-
ducing state in the south, the union
officials claim that so per cent. of the
$1,000 miners will quit. State troops
may be distributed through the Ala
bama coal fields if disorders break
out as preparatory steps in this di-
rection have already been taken.
The railroads have been taking
over great reserve quantities of coal
in the west. Union officials claim that
the western fields are well organized
and that the men will obey the strike
call.

Rescue Work in Mines
Baffled by Raging Flames

Amsterdam, o., Oct 31.-Still
baff1ed by the raging flames that for
forty eight hours have barred rescue
work in the No. mine of the Youg-
hiogheny and Ohio Coal company
here, rescue workers today started
on a new plan to conquer the blaze
and reach the point where twenty
men have been entombed since 9
o'clock Wednesday morning.
The workers are endeavoring to
wall in the burning area of the mine
and construct a passageway to the
point where their comrades are either
dead or dying. AgoniZed relatives of
the missing men still hope against
hope that the entombed men are
alive Experienced mine rescue work.
ers here directing the work only shake
their heads sadly when asked if there
is still chance OF reaching the men.
Following the arrival of n mine
rescue car late yesterday from Pitts
burgh, the mine was re-entered by
the rescue workers driven out yes
terday morning by the combination OF
gas and flames. Members of the eX
ploring party were unable to remain
gas masks worn by them. They had
many narrow escapes.
There were many volunteers and all
through last night the work was kept
up. Finally, it was decided that wall
ing in the burning section of the mine
was the only means by which the
miners tomb could be reached. This
work is progressing rapidly.
Rescue Work in Mines.
I'VE have a good fighting chance
! of reaching the twenty miners en-
tombed, and we are fighting like hell
to reach them"
! This was the declaration today Of
Supt. Richard Jones of the ill-fated
NO. . coal mine of the Youghiogheny
and Ohio Coal company, in which
twenty miners have been entombed
for forty eight hours.
He held out hope that some would
still be living whe nreached.

A FEW PLAIN FACTS ABOUT

Attend the road meeting in Mt.

you should be for or against the
20 cts tax.
At the last November election,
Is counties voted on the 20 cts
tax. ROckcastle is the only one
that did not carry.
If the 20 cts tax Is voted, the
State gives $500 for every $I.oo
put up by the county.
The road tax will be 20 cts
whether it is voted or not.
1t does not cost the tax payer a
cent more, so why lose the State
aid.
If Rockcastle wants better roads
or ever expects to have them,
what better proposition can the
people expect.
The rich counties of the state
are willing to pay the tax to build
the roads in paupe- counties like
Rockcastle. If we don't accept
the offer whose fault is 1t?
If by voting the 20 cts tax, the
taxes are to be raised, we say
vote it down, if not, vote for it !?
The biggest tax payers of the
are for the 20 Gets tax.
They are paying all the tax they
want to pay, but this 20 cts does
not hurt them or make their taxes
a penny higher; it will help the
