ANTHRACITE COAL STRIKE
ORDERED BY OFFICIALS
Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania Is
Called by the President
in Crisis.

Atlantic City, N. j., Aug. 25.-
Philip Murray, international vice
president of the United Mine Work
ers of America, announced at the
close of a session at the Hotel Am
bassador that the full scale committee
of the anthracite miners had author
lied the drawing up of a proclama-
600 mine workers on the expiration
of the present working contract on
September l.
No provision has been made for
the exemption of the 1000 mainte-
nance men necessary to keep the mines
from floating owing to the failure of
any provision by the operators, miners
said, for the basis of payment and
the hours of work for these men dur
ing the suspension.
This announcement was a consid-
cradle surprise to A. B. Jessup, act
ing spokesman for the operators who
asserted that always in the past the
miners had permitted the retention of
the engineers and pumpmen in order
to protect the properties.
When word was brought to the
miners and operators that President
Coolidge had delegated to Gov. Gift
ford Pinchot of Pennsylvania full
power as federal mediator to prevent
if possible the impending mine strike,
both sides expressed their willingness
to attend another conference.

During this PERIOD" said the re-
port, "a little under a million tons of
food seed clothing and medical
supplies have been bought in the Unit

ministration, requiring about $50 voy-
ages of American ships. These sup

the Russian railways.
Their distribution was accomp-
