Washington, Oct. 3O.-The coal strike
took precedence over the peace treaty
i'm the Senate, which for hours was de-
bated. and then adopted resolution
pledging it's support to the government
in maintaining order during the pres
ent industrial emergency. Efforts TO
have the House take similar action
failed because of opposition by Repub-
lean leaders.
In and out of Congress, however,
sentiment seemed TO turn through one
groove and there were expressions of
general approval of the governments
determination to keep the mines in full
operation.
While the only statement given out
after the special meeting of the cabi-
net dealt with issuance of an order re-
lating to the filing of maximum coal
price the members were understood to
have considered seriously means of
protecting miners who will not strike.
The order re-eStaDllShlnS the Olu
maximum coal prices of the fuel adj
minstration was completed tonight at
conference of DR.. II. \. Garfield and
railroad administration officials. II
was taken Immediately to the White
House for President Wilson's sigma
ture.
But the President had gone to sleep
after his arduous day, and it was
deemed inadvisable to wake him. Ac-
cordingly, the order will not become
effective until tomorrow.
DR.. Garfield said that the plans con
templated that all questions of allocat-
ing coal would he left to Director Gen
eral Hines for settlement.
