EtGHTY-FOUR LEADERS AhE
NAMED IN WRIT SECURED BY
ATTORNEY GENERAL
MAXIMUM PRICES ARE FIXED
Fuel Administrator Garfield Restores
War Orders Giving Railroad Al
ministration Power to Seize
Coal and Apportion IT

washington. Nov 1.-The big news
In the coal strike situation Is the leu
eraI courts restraining order 10 stop
engineering of the strike by union
leaders. The order was issued yester-
day and was followed by a long line "f
Developments and opened the door 10
wide possibilities.
The principal leaders in the miners
union met the courts action with de-
nubciation MS u violation OF constr
tutionaI rights declarations that IL
came too late to reach their men with
a countermanding order. and with pre-
dictions that II would be disregarded
anyway.
During last night mixed reports
were coming in from the mining states
Of men who decided to remain al work
and others who went on strike despite
the courts order. 1t IL not possible to
estimate what proportion OF the 49,
coo miners affected remained at work
and what proportion walked out. The
real test may not come until Mon
day. Saturday generally is dead"
day In the mines.
Meanwhile. organized labor leaders
showed signs Of taking up cndgels on
u general issue over the right to
strike.
President Gompers Of the American
Federation Of Labor. with Vice Presi-
dent Vol and Secretary Morrison, pro-
tested as q delegation to Attorney
General Palmer against the govern
ments action in issuing the injunc-
ton and predicted that II could "only
result In creating new and more dis
turning issues which may not be con-
fined solely to the miners
Attorney General Palmer empha-
sized to the labor leaders that the gov
ernment's Injunction was in no wise
an infringement of the workngman's
right to strike. but that 1t was law
full process against Il calamity to the
country. He pointed out that the in
junction had been issued for the gov
eminent acting for all the people and
not for the employers acting in con-
fllct with their employees.
All day long the government con-
tinued steadily taking measures to
deal with the practical as well AS the
legal phase of the crisis.
President Wilson by executive order
fixed maximum prices Of soft coal.
Fuel administrator Garfield restored
the war orders which will give the
railroad administration the power to
seize coal In transit and divert II to
consumption In accord with prefer
ence list arranged with the idea of
doing the greatest good for the great
est number.
The machinery of the railroad ad-
mlnistration was made ready for func-
tioning.
United States troops began arriving
In some of the mining districts ready
To take part In keeping order and pro-
tecting those miners who wished to
continue at work. The extent and full
nature of the troop movements were
not disclosed. hut 1t was apparent that
the war department was acting on a
carefully worked out plan to be ready

4 These demands were: A five

r A scale committee meeting
+ at Buffalo and Philadelphia
4 and Buffalo Of operators and
+ miners threshed over their diff
4 ferences without peaceful set

+ Representatives OF the men
4 contend that the demands were
4 not arbitrary that the 60 per
4 cent wage increase was set az
4 basis for negotiation that
4 siY-hour day meant actual time
4 the miners are to work under

4 The miners insisted on five
4 day week, they said, because
4 there were not four days work
4 week the year round for each
4 miner. They contended by lin
4 iting each miner to five days
r there would be more equit
4 able distribution Of the work.
4 The leaders denied that II was
4 the beginning of nationwide
4 campaign for shorter working
4 schedule.
4 After failure of the two sides
4 to get together the strike order
4 was issued and Secretary Of
4 Labor Wilson. acting by direc-
4 ton of the presidents cabinet.
4 Immediately called into confer
4 ence the heads of the mining
K and operating associations.

X gested negotiation without reseI
