 WASHINGTON, April 10. Orders Wet out today to United States district attorneys to investigate s.the unau- thorized railroad strikes in their dis tricts to determine whether there has been any joint action designed to in- terfere with the distribution of neces- sites of life or whether such inter- ference was contemplated.
 Attorney General Palmer, who is at Savannah, Ga, in making this an nouncement, said that such 1joint ac- ton" would be unlawful. He added that the federal government would take no steps until a careful inquiry has been made to ascertain the facts. MT. Palmer will be in the south for several days and has instructed Assistant At torney General Ames to act on his own judgment should the situation be found to warrant it.
 Although the strike apparently was spreading rapidly, particularly in the middle west, administration officials believed the authorized leaders of the railroad unions would be able to con- trol the situation without government interference. Government machinery, however was ready to move should this finally be decided upon. What the first step would be was not indicated
 The senate interstate commerce com mittee completed plans today for it's investigation of the strike. Hearings will begin Tuesday. with John Grunau president of the Chicago Yardmen's as- sociation and leader of the striking forces in Chicago, as one of the first witnesses, Chairman Cummings an nounced.
 Officers of the railroad shop crafts affiliated with the American Fedora ton of Labor refused to discuss the strike. Samuel Gompers, president of the federation, has gone to Cleveland, headquarters of the trainmen's union, to discuss the general situation with the brotherhood chiefs

PROMINENT SONORAN. URGES AN APPEAL ID.

IRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

MORALES, Sonora, April 10.--Adol- fo Cardenas, twice mayor of this city and prominently identified with the movement to elect General Alvaro Ob- regon to the presidency of Mexico, to- night denounced President Carrslnza's $ action in sending federal troops to So- nora as an effort to depose Governor de la Huerta and overthrow the state government. He urged an appeal to the United States government for it's good offices in bringing about a set tlement of the conflict between the state and federal governments.
 Discussing the rapid march of events since the taking over by the Sonora state government of the Southern Pa cific of Mexico railway, Mayor Car denas said:
 "Carranza's action in bringing fed errai troops into Sonora over the pro- test of Governor de Ia Huerta is with out question inspired by a desire to overthrow constitutional government and establish military dictatorship with General Manuel NJ. Dieguez at it's head. The movement can have no other purpose than to further the election of Ignacio BonilIas. Carranza's choice for president, thereby eliminat- ing General Obregon from thu field and making him and his adherents fugitives.

Ne should send a delegation to Washington in an endeavor to obtain aid of the United States government in the settlement of our difficulties in manner that would prevent the con- stitutional rights of Sonora from being violated. I feel sure the American government will help us escape the tyranny of military rule.
 If President Carranza attempts to force the return of the Southern Pa eific of Mexico. as Colonel Epes Ram dolph, president of the railroad com many, requests. Sonora people will re- sist such action to the utmost of their mower. and by force of arms if neces- sarv.
 Our neacefuI relations with the Tinted States and the internal har- nony that prevails in Sonora now that the Yaouis are seeking peace show clearly that there is no necessity for the presence of federal troops within our borders. The bringing of such sol- d1ers here can be construed only in one way. and that is an attempt to depose Governor de Ia Huerta and overthrow the state government"
 General Salvador Alvarado tonieht declined to discuss the situation in So- nora. and said he wouId make no statement until President Carranza took cogniza nee of fhe secession of the state from the republic.
 Efforts to obtain statements from Governor de Ia Huerta or General P Elias Gales. who are at Hermosillo. were unavailing up to a late hour to- night.

Republican A. p. Leased wirel


 NEW YORK, April 1O.-New York tonight faced the menace of q food and fuel famine and a complete paraly- sis of passenger traffic by the spread of the strike of railroad workers, coupled with a strike of harbor em- ployes.
 The unauthorized wall<out extended to switchmen and yardmen of the New York Central and firemen of the Lack awanna railway, who voted to strike tomorrow.
 Regular passenger service on the Erie and New York Central broke down tonight. Schedules on other roads were disrupted and many trains cancelled A few carloads of food were received today, but the opinion of rail- road officials, based on the nights de- velopments, were that the situation was extremely grave"
 The demands of the insurgent strikers, issued tonight, contained the threat of a break with the national labor organizations unless they re- ceived the support of those organiza- tions in this strike.
 Approximately 10000 men had left their posts in the New York district Only five per cent of the normal freight transportation facilities were functioning. IL was estimated half million persons were kept idle today by the strike.

GOAL COMMISSION
 DEahRESPR ARE INExCUSAbLE

WASHINGTON, April 1o-Thes Unit ed States bituminous coal commission, which settled the dispute between soft coal miners and operators. declared in a formal statement today that present prices of bituminous coal .swere in excusable" and "out of all relation to the increase in the cost of production caused by higher wages granted by the commission"
 Declaring that the present rise in prices could not be attributed to the campaign for early buying. the state ment said there were various causes for the temporary upward trend, in- cludlng widespread feeling that there might be a scarcity of coa- for domes- tic use, due to foreign demand.
 There seems to be a misapprehen- sion in regard to production the statement added.
 The weekly reports of the geologi- cal survey show that in the first guar ter of the present year our produc- ton was decidedly in excess of the production last year, and slightly in excess of the production under high pressure in 1918. There is. therefore, no reason based on the past few months for the sky-rocketing of prices.
 The fear of the immediate suffer ing from car shortage seems also to figure in the reasons for the furry. There were sufficient cars and motive power to distribute this unusual pro- duction of the past few months on ac- count of careful and energetic car dis tribution. These cars and motive pow CTS are practically all available and while there is definite need for more of both in order to stabilize the in dustry, there is no immediate serious threat of a car shortage such as has not existed during the winter. unless 1t is necessary, because of emefgency to divert coal cars for other purposes.
