 No ForcibIe Intervention
 Existence of large surplus stocks of coal, with the likelihood that neither shortage nor price disturb lance would eventuate from the strike for some time, now has resulted in the governments determination to refrain from any sort of forcible in- terventfon in the industry until and unless need for such action be- comes evident.
 Federal reserve bank andA geolog ical survey statements were issued today bearing upon the recent over- production of coal which has bulked largely in the White House and labor department assurances that moderate prices and a plentiful supply of fuel were assured. The reserve bank said that bituminous users recently had so amplified their stocks that even the fear of strike had not sufficed to prevent a falling off in demand and a weakening of prices.
 The geological survey asserted that even though most of the coal mines in the country should remain closed down for three months, citl-

Macon, Ga, March 31.-W. l.. Fisher, said to have been a member of the royal flying corps of the Eng lsh army during the World war and two companions, Ray Roundtree and John J. Costa, automobile racers, re- ceived burns and injuries in an air plane wreck here late today that may cost their lives.
 According to other aviators who saw the accident, the plane struck down current just after hopping off this afternoon, causing 1t to strike 60-foot smok kestack at the Macon, Dublin and Savannah railroad shops half a mile away. A guy wire from the stack became entang1ed in the machinery and in an instant it was in flames.
 Two of the men. helpless in the wreckage, were pulled out by rail- road men who smothered the flames that were attacking them through their gasoline soaked clothing. by throwing loose earth upon them. The third, Costa, was thrown free of the machine and ran down the railroad tracks like a human torch. pugi- list passing by knocked him down and rolled him in the sand to put out the flames.

 Other roads where the strike will be most keenly felt, include the New York Central. the Baltimore and Ohio, the Chesapeake and Ohio, the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western and the Lehigh Valley according to the miners. Officials of these roads declared it would not be possible for several days to estimate the number of men to be affected by stoppage of the sources of coal tonnage.

1S.0OO RAIL WORKERS
 THROWN OUT OF JOBS.

New York, March s1.-Eighteen thousand railroad workers in the state of Pennsylvania will be thrown out of work tomorrow as a direct result of the coal strike, Philip Mur ray. vice president of the United Mine Workers of America. announced here today. This. MT. Murray as serted. would be only a prelude to the far-reaching suspension of in- dustry which is bound to follow idle ness at the mines"
 He predicts that the Great Lakes region both manufacturing centers and transportation terminals will be seriously affected in the first few weeks of the strike. Inability of lake carriers to get coal cargoes when the navigation season opens April 15, will be especially felt at such lake ports as Chicago. Milwau- kee, Buffalo, Cleveland.
