Department of Labor.
With the nations visible coal sup
ply rapidly diminishing the admin
istration is determined to bring
about the resumption Of production
without delay and intends to hasten
the settlement between operators and
miners, it was said. Officials of the
Department of Labor stated, how
ever, that reports to the effect that
the government might take over
mines and operate them were with
out foundation. Such action they
said would be taken only as a last
resort.
Meanwhile, in behalf of the central
field operators committee a series of
Geographic reports from mining CEN
tiers was given out showing that not
a mine was operating in its terri
tory.
Production was absolutely at a

the report declared. and averaged
only about fifty per cent. Of normal

normal except where held back by
car shortage.

Brewster. chairman Of the operators

er Of the evening. Congressman Reed
of Michigan, rode from Boston to
Waterville in the chair opposite him
and that he did not even recognize

Boston to Waterville that they

words with which Col. Towne opened
his talk. and although he did
not talk long. his remarks were
forcible and be brought it to the
minds of the citizens of Waterville
that they owed more than dollars and
cents to the boys who had gone
oevrseas and fought in the great
world war. and who were in the
greatest danger that ever could be-

Watching Red
Efforts to Sway
Soft Coal Miners

1HOIdildpOllS, NOV. li-ASentS Oh
the Bureau Of Investigation of the
Department of Justice are bending
their efforts toward prevention of
outside radical influence being ex-
erted upon bituninous coal miners
now on strike. it was learned today.
Reports of plans of red" leaders
to go into the coal fields and urge
defiance of the injunction issued in
federal court here to prevent en-
couragement to the strike, have
reached government agents here and
steps are being taken to prevent
the carrying out of these plans. In
one case, it was stated today, an
agitator who was on his way. to the
Indiana fields was overtaken by
federal officers and warned to keep
away.
In a statement made today by Dan
w. SimmS, special United States dis
trict attorney in the coal miners
case, it was declared that miners as
individuals are violating the injunc-
ton Of the court when they refuse
to return to work.
THE miners cannot, collectively
or individually, do any act or refrain
from doing any act that will further
or encourage or continue the strike
Mr.. Simms asserted. 1t was the
strike itself against which the in
junction was levelled.
Few, if any, of the miners in the
Indiana coal fields reported for work
today and no mines were operated.
Last week operators confidently
predicted that enough men would be
at work today to start the mines
working again but today it was con-
ceded that resumption of operation
is not likely until something definite
in the way of agreement comes from
the Washington conference.

MARTENS FRANK
fcontinusd from Pa0e one)

He testified he was one OF the lead
ers of the revolution in Russia In
1905 and 1906 and for II years direct
ed propaganda from Berlin for the
overthrow Of the Cars government.
Mr.. Berger brought out this testi-
mony in an effort to show that the
collapse Of the Russian government
was the result Of German plot. Mar
tens testified that he conferred with
Lenine and Trotzky in 1901 in SwitZ-
erland and in 1908 in Berlin. Part OF
the propaganda was Matched In
France and Switzerland, he added.
He was organizer Of the Russian
workmen in the revolution in Russia.
in 1905, he said. and added that his
activities were not interfered with by
Germany.
Were you under pay when you
were in Switzerland consulting with
Lenine?" Martens was asked.
II was working as an engineer"
he answered.
His conference with Lenine was
for the purpose of bringing ,usetn-
er the Bolsheviki and Mens:;viki for
concerted action against the Cars
government. he said.
Martens told the committee he
came to this country in 1916. Asked
what citizenship he claimed, he said:
Il claimed German citizenship. /
was forced to-
He explained that the British au-
thorities, despite the fact that he
claimed Russian citizenship, made
go nj cfa xaif nf
many. He was classified as Rus
sian, he said, but was technically a
German. He failed to register as an
enemy alien. he testified.
He formally acquired Russian cit
izenship in May or June, 1917. when
he was informed of his new allegi-
ance by a relative in Russia. He
originally applied for citizenship as a
boy of II, he said, but he had been
refused.
Mr.. Berger inquired if under this
procedure any former Russian who
desired could be alienated from Am
erican citizenship and made a citizen
of the soviet republic.
How many persons that you know
have become citizens of soviet Rus
STA by this method?" Martens was
asked.
The ambassador" said he knew of
no others.
Archibald f. Stevenson. associate
counsel for the committee, read a
copy of the communist manifesto
which appealed to all workers to
rise in social revolution against cap
italistic governments. Martens ad-
mitted that he was a member of the
communist party.
Mr.. Stevenson called the attention
Of the witness to the fact that the
manifesto called for reign of ter
ror and violence" and asked him if
he subscribed to it.
Martens replied that the soviet
government only advocated that pol
icy as a defensive measure.
Following the examination Mr..
Stevenson issued statement in
which he said the testimony of Mar
tens indicates clearly that the Rus
sian soviet republic seeks the over
throw of every organized govern
ment throughout the world"
1t is interesting to know" he
said. that the communist party of
America pledges it's members to
support the communist international.
Added interest is given to the situa-
ton by the opinion by Chief Magis-
trate McAdoo in holding that all
members of the communist party of
America, are guilty of criminal an
archy in this state"
