Strike Leaders Face Ne,u Problem
Of Resistance to Government

Workers, who has been on leave of alb
sence did not appear to-day, and has
not yet been served.
Union Leaders Discreet
l have never observed another meet
ing that was so tip OR hint tight as
this. This was due partly to the un-
certainty of the outcome and the de-
termination not to be misreprcscnted,
and partly to respect for the tempo
rari)y injunction, which the Delegates
to the meeting think is almost broad
enough to keep two or more miners
from thinking in concert. While these
men are willing to go to Jail after q
decision logically would lead there,
they do not want to arrive at that des-
tlnation inadvertently. That presence
of several agents of the Bureau Of In
vestigation of the Department of Jus
tice. who watched the entrance Of the
conference room as q cat watches a
mouse hole, also prompted the impulse
to reticence.
The men attending to-days critical
conference had none of the jocoseness
and lcvity that characterized them on
October 20 and &c. when they voted
unanimously to defy the President.
They felt to-day they were too near the
consequences of defiance, and charged
with too grave a decision, to proceed
with any degree of levity They un-
derstood they were called upon to
make a choice that was fraught, either
way, with unforeseeabie consequences
to organized labor, to their own union
and the nation at large
Throughout the long discussions of
the day these three aspects of the sol
emn question before them were kept
continuous in vieW.
Three Problems Presented
First-What would be the effect of
obedience or disobedience on the pow
erful organization Of the miners that
had been built up through long years
of effort.
Second-What would be the conse-
quences to the American Federation of
Labor and the labor movement in gen
eral.
Third-To what extent the first two
aspects should be subordinated to their
duty as citizens of the United States.
Not much attention was given to the
third aspect, because most of those
present thought they were confronted
with d crisis in which the interests of
labor and the highest patriotism might
blend in opposition to an "illegal in
junction." transcending constitutional
rights.

Canada Must Restrict
Use OF Coal Like u. S.,
Advice Of Washington

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.--In order to
obtain more American coal, Canada
must adopt restrictions similar to those
in effect in the United States.
This statement was made to-day by
the Railroad Administration central
coal committee after members had read
the complaint in the Canadian House
Commons by j. d. Reid, Minister o.
Railways, that citizens of Alberta were
suffering from lack Of fuel.
Canadian production is small, COM
mittee members said, and consequently
the pinch OF the strike was felt in that
country Immediately after shipments
ceased
Replying to Nh Reids statement that
nearly $4,000 Canadian railway cars
were held on this side of the boundary,
against $4,000 American cars in Canada,
Railroad Administration officials said
the movement of cars was as free and
unrestricted as before the strike began.
Many of these cars were sent from
Canadian roads to the coal producing
districts of this country before the
strike began, it was stated, and they
will be returned to their home roads
as rapidly as traffic conditions permit.

constituted contempt. officials did not
presume to speak for Judge Anderson,
but expressed doubt if he would pay
any attention to the statement.
IL the federation comes to the aid
OF the miners by appropriating money
to further the strike, that would be a
different matter and probably would
lead to action, although even in such
case the Department of Justice
might be slow in initiating further pro-
ceedings which would only serve to
arouse labor to created animosity
toward the courts.
Much comfort was taken to-day from
the A. F. of l.. statement in official cir
cies, where it was suggested that no.
where did 1T contain any reference to
general strike by other branches of
labor The general opinion was that
the statement itself was as much in
tended for public consumption as for
anything else.
Some Willing To Be Martyrs
Some Of the officers of the Fedora
ton are said not to be loath to get
themselves in contempt, although they
are not discussing it. Mr.. Gompers
and Frank Morrison, the federations
secretary, have been through contempt
proceedings before, which went up to
the Supreme Court of the United
States. They did not go to Jail, but
their stand at that time undoubtedly
strengthened them with labor and q
like stand at this time might prove
just as valuable an asset in the days of
struggle that are ahead of them to
keep their hold or .heir followers.
Despite Mr.. Palmer's statement there
was no basis for any hope that nego-
tiatons will be resumed by tho oper-
ators and miners, at least for several
days. and the feeling generally here
was that the leaders will prefer to 60
to Jail for contempt rather than call
the strike order off.
The coal strike situation came up in
the Senate when Senator La Toilette,
Republican, of Wisconsin, read the
statement issued last night by the
American Federation of Labor.
Federation Claim Denied
Senator Thomas, Democrat. of Colo
statement, in which the labor counci.
insisted that the Lever act was enacted
with the understanding that it should
not apply to labor. 1t was emphatic
ally stated in the Senate while the bill
was before Congress, said Senator
Thomas, that it was to apply to labor.
Senator Thomas offered resolution
calling upon Attorney General Palmer
to transmit to the Senate the files Of
his office for the period during which
the Lever act was enacted. in order to
ascertain whether or not Attorney Gen
eral Gregory held that it would not
apply to labor, as the A. +. of L. state

crat, of Georgia, prevented immediate
consideration of the resolution and it
went over until tomorrow.

tional power of the courts may al
ways be invoked hereafter by the gov
eminent whenever any national gov
ernmental function, or even the gem
eral public welfare, il likely to suf-
fer "irrcparable loss" from strike.
Dependence ON Appeal Advised
Some of the moderatos held to the
view that the higher courts would not
sustain Judge Anderson on the appeal
of the case, now being taken, and that
it would be better to comply with the
temporary injunction, risk some loss
of organization strength and control
in the meantime, and finally obtain
court decision that would overthrow
his implied doctrine that the right
to strike has certain very definite
limitations.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 1O.-All day
long the chosen representatives. of the
United Mine Workers of America,
about 100 in number, wrestled intently
with what is perhaps the most momen-
tous question ever put up to an Ameri
can labor organizatiOn-whet to
obe' or disobey a court order that is in
effect q command of the government of
the United States.
Members of the national executive
board of the scale committee and the
district presidents met in the Lincoln
Hotel here at 10 o'clock this morning
and continued in session until late to-
night, with two short intermssions.
Every member of the meeting was
pledged to secrecy and not the slightest
authoritative indication of the trend
of the deliberations was disclosed While
the session continued An all-night
session is expected, and no statement
is likely to be issued before to-mor-
row.
Members OF the conference who
came here feeling some degree of free
dom because they had not been served
with writs and subpmnas, and who
hitherto had talked quite freely, we're
silenced by the appearance early in
VIC udy VI group OF Onttou States
deputy marshals. who entered the as
sembly room with scant ceremony and
proceeded to serve copies or the tenn
porary injunction and subpnas on
thirty-three of the delegates who cs-
capped the original service because thew
were not within Judge Anderson's
jurisdiction at the time.
Fifty-nine Now Cited
This brings the total number of lead
ers of the mine workers now within
Judge Anderson's power up to fifty
nine. Some twenty-five of the original
eighty-four defendants remain I'M
served, being chiefly district secre-
taries, who as a rule were not in at
tendance at either this meeting or that
of October 90 Agents of the Depart
ment of Justice cons dered that the
opportunity to round up most of the
defendants while within Judge Ander-
sons territory was too good to be over
looked, even if the men served thought
there was u sort of implied truce for
three days.
Among those caught with service to-
day was Frank harrington, the Illinois
district president, who has talked and
acted with the greatest freedom UP to
this time. Harrington was not found
at the meeting, but at the English
Hotel, and at first denied his identity

Mr.. Berger announced last night that
OF the thirty seven prisoners arrested
only one is an American. Most of them

nave not been in America more than
three years.
Meanwhile thirty-five prisoners, who
were all that were detained out of the
1000 taken in the raids, remained at
Police Headquarters without knowing
what was going to become of them.
Information had been received by the
police that some of the prisoners were
rot allied with the Communist party,
but were merely visiting some of the
seventy-onc branches when the raiders
swooped down on them.
The Lusk committee said the prison
ers were being held FOR the Federal

officials at Ellis Island had been asked
TO send a representative to Police
headquarters to learn whether depor-
tation proceedings should not be begun
