City Of Havelock
Loses Suit to Ban
Shop Searchlight g
Injunction Asked on Grounds
That Rays Were Thrown
Into Homes at Night
Refused.

Lincoln. July 3l.-(Special Tele-
gram. 1.-The Lancaster county dis
trict court has refused to issue an
injunction against the Burlington
railroad forbidding it to operate a
big searchlight on top of its carshop
at Havelock. The city of Havelock
filed a petition for the injunction.
Five hundred strikers crowded the
Lancaster county district court room
when the hearing on the petition for
the injunction opened. Several TRIES
the judge threatened to clear the
court room when remarks made by
attorneys aroused the strikers to vo-
cal demonstrations.
Attorneys Score Town.
The Burlington attorneys declared
Havelock, with its mayor a. union
man, three of its counclhnen union
men and its 10 special policemen
strikers, was next door to Africa so
far as protection to railroad property
was concerned. The attorneys said
strikers gathered around the shops
and the searchlight kept tab of their
whereabouts. They also pointed to
painting of homes of employees yel-
low, the alleged throwing of stones
by slingshots into yards, and the al
legged kidnapping, beating and robbing
of men who went to Havelock to
work.
Want Guards Removed.
One affidavit by striker was to
the effect that the searchlight injured
the health of sick wife. Others
declared the searchlight was thrown
into their homes at night.
While the strikers were attempting
to force the Burlington to discon-
tinue the use of searchlights on its
properties in the court, other strikers
here today adopted resolutions ask
ing the county attorney to force the
Burlington to discontinue use of
armed guards on its property at
Havelock.

U.S.. Takes Over
Distribution of
Coal Over Nation
Federal Board Starts Work to
Supply Fuel Where Most
Needed and Maintain
Fair Prices.

Washington, July 3l.-The gov
ernment machinery Tor emergenc,
distribution of coal swung into gea>
today, as the central compittee fere
with Henry B. Spencer, federal fue
distributor, as administrative head
began active functioning under tn,
program devised to supply coal tc
the industries and localities where il
is most needed and to maintain fail
price levels at the mines. The cen.
trail control organization was rapidly
being perfected, it was said, with the
organization of an adequate staff to
handle the rush of reports and orders
expected to flow through Washing
ton.
Reported to Committee.
Accepting only the responsibility
of keeping the railroads and interstate
public utilities supplied with coal and
directing proper distribution as be-
tween states. at the same time
through car ALLEGATIONS holding mine
prices at fair level, the federal
agency looked to the states to con-
troll distribution and prices for con-
sumers within their borders. In many
states creation of the necessary adj
ministration for this work already
has been reported to the central COM
mittee.
As the distribution program went
into effect, slow recovery in produc-
ton was shown in reports of the
geological survey for the week end
ing Saturday, the estimated total be-
ing 100000 tons, as compared with
3,70000O tons the week previous.
Production of anthracite was said to
remain at practically zero" Stating
there was mo indication of increased
production in response to the invita-
ton to reopen mines in any of the
strongly organized Districts" the re-
port said more coal, however, was
coming out of the former nonunion
fields of Pennsylvania, with slight in
creases in several other districts.
Kansas Miners Defy Governor.
Pittsburg, Kan, July 31.-Howat
miners here who several weeks ago
adopted resolutions providing that
followers of the deposed mine union
leader return to work wherever they
could find work, reversed that action
by adopting resolutions yesterday
asking that miners now employed in
other than cooperative mines cease
work. Leaders estimated that more
than l, 500 were present. "We, the ex-
PEELED miners and their sympathizers,
refuse as true blooded Americans to
work in the mines under the protec-
ton of troops or armed guards Of
any kind.
This is our final answer to the
coal operators and to Governor Al
len in his attempt to induce us to re-
turn to work without correction of
reduced wages and under the protec-
ton Of troops furnished by the gov
ernor.
while many of us have been idle
10 months and expelled from the Or
ganization and will still be denied ad-
mission, we continue to stand with
the miners of the country against
lower wages" hhe resolution asserted.
